The World of Skyrim

[stst]

Bethesda just posted the next podcast and the associated youtube video. It's called 'The World of Skyrim.' The video has one or two new scenes, as well as footage that we'e seen from either previous youtube posts from BGS or the G4 footage. There is also a better sample of voice work, and a little taste of the civil war storyline. Pretty awesome, I think.

I like the Khajiit voice.

And the voice acting done for Ulfric is no less than epic.

[dubq]

This video is so amazing. I love the tone of it, and it really works well as a trailer, too.

[Chaos the N'wah]

"Khajiit has wares, if you have coin"

Great stuff and much more serious this time around. Reminds me of Morrowind's atmosphere

[MathiasFlynnias]

Will they be making an actual launch trailer as such does anyone know? I just would've assumed it would be out by now.

[perylousdemon]

*drooooooool* Why isn't it Friday yet?

Ohhhh man, it might be just me, but the main questline of Skyrim looks amazing. And I was never interested much in the main quest in Oblivion.

[Fajita!]

Ohhhh man, it might be just me, but the main questline of Skyrim looks amazing. And I was never interested much in the main quest in Oblivion.

Yep, I put hundreds of hours into Oblivion and never finished the main quest. The story line was boring and the quests were repetitive.

I still won't finish Skyrim's main quest until the end, even if it is very good, simply because the game feels "finished" to me after you complete the main quest, even if there is a ton of other stuff to do. And I don't want that feeling for a long time.

[the Savage Hippie]

Dang. I just wet my pants. It looks too good to be true.

[stst]

I really like the grey and grey morality vibe from the civil war thing. That's exactly what I was looking for; neither side sounds entirely good or bad, just different.

I like how Max Von Sydow's character looks like him.

[Duderino Abides]

Was that Esbern at the end?

[dubq]

Sounds like..

[EchotheThief]

Them Catapults... does this mean full scale wars....

[FuzzyMage]

Really wish they had it subtitled; it's really frustrating for a hearing-impaired player just watching the pretty pics without understanding the narration or what's being said. :\

Graphics are outstanding, tho'.

The big showcase line is

"I fight for my people, impoverished to pay the debts of an Empire too weak to rule them, yet brands them criminals for wanting to rule themselves. I fight, because I must"

Pretty well written stuff, if I might say so myself.

[River]

Love the video great stuff.

Does this help?

Woman 3: "Sound like you can handle it?"

Man 5: "No doubt, the appearance of a Dragonborn at this time is not an accident."

<Pan past second meat market>

Man 5: "Your destiny is surely bound up with the return of the dragons."

<Men fighting in background>

Man 6, faintly: "Nice!"

<Man in white shirt>

Man 7: "If you are Dragonborn, then...there is hope, afterall."

[FuzzyMage]

That IS a good line, indeed. Thanks, Incurable.

SilentPyscho, it does indeed! My deepest thanks!

Man 2: "Thank you, Leggot. In the future, I'll let you know when your opinion is needed."

one very minor correction, I believe that is "Legate", not Leggot. It's a rank. And no I didn't learn that from New Vegas, noooooo. <.< >.>



On topic. Actually seeing Khajiit in the proper game world setting really makes them stand out as gorgeous. Them eyes! That voice. <3

Thanks. I had no clue what it was, so I just played by ear and hoped I'd got close to it. Corrected it now.

Why are they tormenting us??? It better come on Friday... I paid extra for 1st class on Amazon for guaranteed delivery and am even getting it sent to my mum's work to make sure it's not taken back to the mail depot. The atmosphere is brilliant, the graphics are amazing, the voice acting is convincing, the storyline is engaging. I can't wait. One small complaint though - the (beautiful)faces of NPCs don't really seem to change expression while speaking. Oh well, a miniscule flaw, one that will surely be looked into for ES VI. Maybe I'm wrong, there isn't really enough gameplay to be sure. I am a happy person nevertheless

[Duderino Abides]

Ulfric Stormcloak is clearly a badass.

[BabyKiller209]

Ulfric Stormcloak is clearly a badass.

I agree, before the video I was leaning Stormcloak in my first play through, now I'm completely locked in.

[Ronok]

Ulfric Stormcloak is clearly a badass.

I agree, before the video I was leaning Stormcloak in my first play through, now I'm completely locked in.

But....are his intentions clear? Is he doing it for Skyrim or himself?*

*-points at the powers conflicting in New Vegas- >.>
I support him but I want to know more about him....

[AKB]

I swear, if a hundredth of the lines in the game are as good as these ones, I can die happy.
