New Skyrim Info (Oct. 20)

Post by Penguin _Overlord »

Hello everyone, just finished watching a video by GT.TV revealing some new skyrim info.

Link here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCSc7rcshHE

From watching the video Todd revealed:

We will be able to befriend a dragon and summon him by calling his name

3New shouts: Ice form which allows you to incase(sp) enemies in ice and ethereal shout which allows you to become invicible, but you cannot attack while using it. Good for getting pass traps.Elemental fury which makes wind form around your weapon, allowing you to swing faster.

6 types of dragons confirmed.

Also, even though Todd didn't say anything about it, in the video shows the player doing a ritual to reanimate a chicken.

From what I have seen those are the interesting bits, check out the video to see for yourself

Six main different types of dragons. What does that mean? Different colors...Or totally different skins and abilities?

We've seen fire dragons and ice dragons, so I'm pretty sure each color has a different power.

At 2:37 of the latest video, Todd Howard says "we have about 6 main types of dragons, that come in different colors and power levels, and then there are also named dragons."

He also at E3 referenecd "ice dragon," not blue dragon

That's what I thought. If memory serves, we've heard something about an aquatic dragon species as well, right? I wonder what the other ones are. Hopefully something creative.

I'm guessing we'll have other elemental dragons to go along with the frost one. Probably an electrical one. An aquatic one would be awesome, as mentioned above.

just how effective would a chicken be in combat as a re-animated companion?

(i imagine an undead army of crime-reporting chickens!)

i like the idea of elemental dragons. would the fire-dragon have a weakness to ice?

Here is all the new footage in one HD piece, presented on a different show. The other show had prior footage included, so it was kind of a jumble.

Ignore everything these two say while they watch, it is roughly 75% inaccurate

They must have taken it down from their site due to all the comments telling them how many errors they had. Here's another copy:
