Official Trailer Discussion

Yeah, that's Dovahkiin.

[greenwarden]

I call him Craig Placeholder.

[Zabre]

This is... Just... I don't even know...

The graphics- the gameplay- the atmosphere. It seems so amazing. I am craving this game after but one trailer.

I can't wait to see more gameplay of it, especially how they plan to use Archery. It seemed much more real in this gameplay.

Whoa...I just looked through Meo`s screens...totall awsome collection. Funny we capped the same shot almost exactly. I paused the clip and capped the one for my ava with MWSnap 3 so I didn`t have to crop. I think alot of folks will cap that one too. Thanks Meo for the great collection.

And we actually get moving water this time!

[donnato]

The water works looked very good. I could almost see the salmon jumping up stream...

[Vouivre]

I'd like to also bring out that it MAYBE possible that they're using ray tracing technology for things. This means infinitely more detailed bodies and faces and overall a more realistic experience. But here's what I saw.

Dynamic ground effects- Once icy rocks now glowing orange and charred stone. This with their dynamics look incredible huzzah for dragonfire REAL fire.

Dragon movements look a lot more realistic, and the anatomy is accurate(in terms of scientific) They're more like a "bat" in terms of body design. hindlegs are fine, but the arms are much like bats.

Special effects- dragon's death, spells and the casting effect. Looks like massive fireballs for all.

Animations- stealth kills sneaking, running, combat and magic animations look awesome

things others mentioned above

Landscapes look gorgeous far beyond that of oblivion's at it's best. Giving the worldmakers out there a whole new level to play with

Architecture looks gorgeous, gonna be able to be more immersed in it than ever before.

just wow... it makes me giddy thinking about it.

[Hanaisse]

Not only am I totally impressed by the dynamic shadows, but I just noticed as he's running toward that rock at the edge of the cliff, he's kicking up snow behind him. Awesome.

[InsanitySorrow]

These things that people are exited about have been in most games released this past year, if not longer, guess TES is catching up

[_echo]

Bubble busting time!

Me being me, Ive already found an error in the game. Notice he clipping on the staff hand wrist.

And no 1st person feet from the looks of it, unless 1st person doesn't display dynamic shadows, though if it is just a pair of floating arms, why would they... Only time can tell.

[InsanitySorrow]

Were they gonna put first person feet into it?, Didn't hear anything, plus most games don't have it so not something I'd miss. Clipping was to be expected though

[Hanaisse]

Ob doesn't have first person feet either, not sure what you're getting at?

[_echo]

Just hopeing they would. Tired of the floating pair of arms...

[Si-Shen]

Only game I know of that had first person feet was... Two Worlds OH and Dark Messiah, the ONLY reason it was cool in DM is because you could actually kick. If you can't kick, I dont think its of great importance if we have them or not.

I enjoyed this trailer so much it wasnt funny

[Cydonian_Knight]

I've never really noticed the lack of first person legs in games where you can't kick. Don't really care that Skyrim won't have it either.

The new magic system is looking awesome as well. And powerful.

[Meo]

Really, some of you are going to call out errors and mistake in a trailer of an unfinished game?

This was a gift from Beth to us the crazies. They still have 8 months to polish and fix things.

[lilith]

I liked the trailer and it's made me excited, but not enough to do an interpretive Nordic dance for the challenge.

I know. I was just showing them. Makes no difference to me if they fixed the clipping or not. I'm making a stealthy sword-mage anyway. (No not a spellsword...)

Aslo, dropping off this:

@Hana, should change the first post picture to the 2nd to last one on that link

[Yevic]

It looks like Oblivion and Fallout had a baby graphic wise

Well, plus better character models

What I was interested in was where that one guy gets assassinated....will being an assassin be...fun?

[Manfred60]

Looks good.
