What kind of people said that? I advise you to go see those videos. Those people apparently believe graphics should be like real life.

Apparently they think Bethesda are gods.

But believe me: I've never seen graphics that good.

How about LA Noire? the talking and people graphics were unbelievable, they looked real i thought it was a movie!

but I don't think TES should be like that. I liked oblivions way of things and the graphics to me are still pretty good the game is preeeeety old. Bethesda is impressive.

Btw, dragon graphics made me cry, i loved it.

There is a glove that gives "plus 15 to unarmed combat" mhm I think hand to hand is a strong combat usage.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Pete Hines stated that the steam countdown for Skyrim is wrong and that Skyrim will unlock at 12:01 according to your timezone.

I apologize AKB, I meant no disrespect to you whatsoever.
I'm all for enthusiastic dialogue. Everyone has their own opinions...

This thread covers many topics of Skyrim news. It just seems the closer we get to launch there are as many people griping about Bethesda as the game itself.

With that said I'm looking forward to the subforum purge after launch... its gonna be all sunshine and rainbows in here then!


Hand to Hand finishers is definitely my favorite news at the moment!

Cannibalism in Skyrim! Well, actually, more importantly, info on the classification of the game.

Just so you're all aware, GiantBomb.com will be hosting a high-quality 12-hour live gameplay stream on the 10th November starting at 4:00pm. Unlike the other live streams that have been going on recently, this one is completely legal - they have permission from Bethesda to show off whatever they can in 12 hours.

I doubt any new information about the game will come to light during that stream since there's been so many other 'pirate' streams around recently, some of which have gotten quite far into the game - but if any of you simply can't wait to see the finished game being played and haven't done so already (links to pirate streams are quite forbidden) then there's your opportunity just before the big day arrives.

Any bugs you may have seen or heard of in the leaked version are potentially fixed already.

I'm actually a little disappointed, I love bugs!

I may play the game without the patch at first just to see how funny they actually are.

I'm thinking of the door glitch from Oblivion..

New video from Bethesda, "The World of Skyrim"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn0N294NFy0

EDIT: Consider some scenes to be spoilers if you want to be surprised by EVERYTHING, even the smallest things.. but otherwise, it's officially from their YouTube channel, so I figure it's fine to post it here, too.

Footage of the PS3 version of Skyrim has just appeared on the net :)

And it looks absolutely fantastic :D

Unfortunately, rules being what they are I can't give you a link to the video itself. Those of you who are interested will be able to find it just by doing a Google search for "Skyrim PS3 looks great". It's pretty easy to find because it's caused quite a commotion.

I don't think anyone expected it to be quite like that. I know I didn't.

It all makes sense now. Beth got a big sack of money from MS to do all the promotion on the Xbox and cram the game on just one DVD. Not showing the better looking PS3 footage was part of the deal.
