Skyrim Fan Interview

[Johnn123]

Bethesda released the Fan interview today! Linky.

Thoughts?

I can't believe I read that... I promised not to get involved with Skyrim stuff until it comes out .... oh well, I can look at other stuff now

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR I CAN'T WAIT FOR SKYRIM... I'M GOING CRAZY.......

I was somewhat displeased with the fan interview. The only interesting bit of info was marriage, but even that could of been guessed. Like everything else in the interview.

Im hoping there will be more parts like with the Oblivion Fan Q&A. But I have my doubts.

Disappointing that there aren't any questions or answers that haven't already been addressed somewhere else. I'd already been able to glean those answers myself from reading various bits and bobs across the web. That's the trouble with a fan based interview though, not everyone is equally well read, so there were some "no duh" questions asked and as usual Todd gives without giving away...the man's a master at that

[Si-Shen]

You know, the one thing I have not heard, but an interested in, although mundane, is lockpicking, I want to know how they are handling it... why didn't anyone ask about that?! LOL

Some of this was new to me, as I have not read nearly the same amount of info that DR has However that which was new, interested me, or saddened me, not sure if loosing another part of the armor makes it worth it...

The bigger issue was that the question were submitted back in May. A lot of stuff was answered after e3.

You know what I noticed? In question 3 where theyre asked about whether armor is like in Oblivion or Morrowind, they dodged the part where whether we could equip clothes under armor. I wonder what that could mean? Maybe the possibility of that returning?

Either they accidently missed it or they have no intention of allowing cloths under armor and just did not want to mention it. The fury of TES fans can be great indeed when they feel jilted in some way... all those letters fly from keyboards and all. I would only concider the feature of use if, when you wear something that would show skin, you see the clothing instead but thats just a personal opinion.

Also, although they mentioned bodies having 2 types, large and small basically, they did not mention weather beast races would see the reversed foot. If they did that then I hope they did a really good job on the animation because personally it did not look great in Morrowind (I know many here would disagree but thats your opionon compared to mine so its just that, opinion) and would rather NOT see that body type return unless truely done well.

I can't believe no one asked about the dialog. I wonder if they have hired onto their voice acting team, or if they've stuck with just the nine or so actors from Oblivion.

[DarkRider]

Reportedly there are dozens on Skyrim

It was in an earlier interview, I believe. They've hired far more actors this time.

You know, the one thing I have not heard, but an interested in, although mundane, is lockpicking, I want to know how they are handling it... why didn't anyone ask about that?! LOL

I believe I read somewhere that lockpicking will be a minigame again, just like in Oblivion.

[Si-Shen]

And here I was hoping you would have to beat the lock at a game of 21! LOL.

I was hoping for a minigame but I was just wondering if they will do something like OB or something a bit more FO-like.

Honestly... I kinda wish I knew nothing about Skyrim That way it would all be a grand surprise when I first play it. Mystery is a valuable tool also... its almost an art walking the line between not enough info and spoiling it too much. At least I have the ability to limit what information I relinquish with my own mods.
