GameInformer Preview

[River]

A good quality preview & it's interspersed with some game footage most of which is from the GTTV feature but there are a couple of new bits. Link.

Dang, the frost dragon shout is definitely owning fools!

I do agree with one of the comments about "boss" fights needing to be a bit more epic this time around.
In Oblivion you were never quite blown away with the epicness of a battle.

^Particularly if you were like me and sneaked your way through everything. That dim eye was my best friend.

I vaguely recall some press saying that Spriggans looked only slightly different from Oblivion, obviously someone was drunk.

To me, they even look as if they have gender differences now. The females (The first Sprigg shown) was small, while the next one shown was much larger, so I'd assume it was male.

I enjoyed this, and the ending was cute, lol. :3

7.38 mins ---> I'm wondering what kind of armor is that. Maybe dragon bones heavy one?

Interesting to note, one of the building at about 1:46-ish had a sign with a dark brotherhood symbol on it.

You are mistaken.The Dark Brotherhood dosen't display itself that way.

That frost shout which freezes the pack of enemies could be the highest leveled variant from the "standard" frost shout, as if I recall right it was said that you can improve every shout on 3 "levels".

well the building has the symbol on it whether i'm wrong or not.

The lighting is amazing! Sure its no bf3 or crysis, but having the limp bodies of my fallen enemies and by sword on my dresser actually have a shadow excites me. The scene when he is fighting to what I believe is a Spriggan really shows the new engine off in my opinion.

From what i understand dragons will emerge like oblivion gates as in they wont appear until you do or beat a initial first one... I hope im wrong and dragons are able to appear right when you start.

You have to account for the fact that Skyrim is ~200 years after Oblivion. It's entirely possible that the situation regarding the Dark Brotherhood has changed. I wouldn't mind if the Brotherhood decided a respectable "public" face was a good cover for the illicit activities it actually engages in.

You figure they had to do something to change up the DB. I mean it was definitely my favorite questline in Oblivion, but I'd be disappointed if it was just more of the same in Skyrim.

Sorry, I don't see any Dark Brotherhood symbol in that shot. The footage from G4 has a reverse angle of that same street and the two buildings in the foreground are an alchemy shop (the sign is a mortar & pestle with flames coming out of it) and the other is probably general goods or a pawn shop (it has a set of scales on it's sign).

If you watched the whole video you may have noticed them talking about how Todd said that you won't encounter dragons from the start. It isn't yet known whether or not you have to kill your first scripted dragon before you can randomly-encounter others, but there is some kind of initiation for the dragons to start appearing by themselves.

In the time frame you are mentioning there is NO Dark Brotherhood symbol

[Mefris Elmek]

Pause it at 1:44,you can clearly see it's not the Black Hand.It's most likely a shop
