Nice... Nate will be happy...

[MARS]

The hair in the first screen is incredible!

[VirtualWeasel]

Oh, Mars and his hair!

But it does look pretty good....

[the Savage Hippie]

Interview with god Howard, some new info.

[kailay]

I love how the horse in the vid, screenshot is a cold blood. Definitely goes well with the environment.
Pretty much liking everything so far.

The answers to Bethesda's fan interview that they announced on the blog a while ago are now up at http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?%2 ... terview%2F!

An answer I picked out:


Bruce: Absolutely! You make friends with people by doing things for them. Friends in the game will treat you differently. Some of them will even agree to go with you into dungeons and on adventures. You can even get married. If you own a house, your spouse will move in with you.

[POMC S117]

Woo hoo a slave - I mean a spouse!

[Qwackie]

More screenshots are in the new game informer. I can't find them online, but there's a Nord guy with 5 o'clock shadow, a draugr, a camp, a Redguard (I think?) woman with a circlet crown thing and cool looking armor, and some ruins. You can also make new spell effects by binding spells to different hands, apparently.

The moon in the first pic looks as epic as ever!

Sorry, had to say that

Yes! who do you think that woman is wearing the dragon armor?

According to Matt Carofano, it is the most prized and rarest armor in the game, so I assume she must be someone important.

[OblivionDuruza]

The fourth image looks truly amazing, the dragon armour (although not fully shown), isn't as dragonish as I'd hoped, but maybe I just need to look at it again.

[ZombieMonkeyNZ]

The armor looks like it's made out of a Dragon's bone. Makes me think that she's either the PC or another Dragonborn.

Here is an excellent comparison of vanilla Morrowind, vanilla Oblivion and vanilla Skyrim: http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/8620 ... arison.jpg

[Eltee]

Hm. Where is Mr. Top Left Redguard? I don't recognize the location...

[Eltee]

Ah, right. Need to spend more time there...

[OblivionDuruza]

That was a good image, it made me remember how good Morrowind actually looks (although the actual image quality across the board with all three games there wasn't superb).

Yes, the Skyrim images in particular were a bit blurry because of the way they were resized, but it's helpful to see some interesting comparisons of similar settings.

Some of us are, how you say? banned? from the beth forums, so even if you think the info is commonly known, posting it here will be appreciated to certain segments of the community.

Grazie

mm i'm banned from beth forums -_- the oficial forums are boring they don't allow almost anything i hate them

[BootySweat]

Well for those of you who got banned from the official forum, you're not really missing anything.

There hasn't been any real new info for a while.

Here's a link to a fairly interesting Skyrim article on IGN.

http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/118/1186 ... qus_thread

A few interesting pieces of info include:

-Your character can have two different coloured eyes, at least dark elves can. (medically known as heterochromia iridum - pulled from wikipedia of course)

-A lockpicking system which sounds very much like Fallout's. A good decision in my opinion.

-A freaky black door in an isolated forest glade with a skull on it which speaks to you and only opens to those it deems worthy. (This reminds me of daedric prince quests - miminum level requirement for some unique dungeons etc? Potential dark brotherhood sanctum?)
