i suggest you give this one a chance, like i said this is Skyrim not oblivion, Skyrim to Oblivion is like Assassins Creed 1 to assassins Creed 2.

huge difference in content and AC 1 was boring as hell compared, so i say give it a chance and you won't regret it.

*lolwut*

It feels weird to explain but fine

...In your analogy you likened Skyrim to AC1 and Oblivion to AC2 then said AC1 was boring as hell and implied AC2 was better

Hey check the new videos, i think you said something about the third person camera right? well i made the two videos for you (one is still uploading)

 

Sure, why not - It's the one in the OP right?...

So did your character catch a cold after jumping into that freezing water?

lol @ how the comment turned out, I watched the vid in the middle of writing this >_<

 


okay done, finished posting the second one =]

You know what, I think I'm gonna try it out XD

btw I just watched the GameTrailers review of the game, it was really awesome if anyone's interested

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-elder-scrolls/723800

And I suppose the first person view isn't so bad... I've played it before, a long time ago... A game called Hexen was really similar (FP view fantasy WRPG), my friend and I used to play that game like crazy, he didn't have a memory card for his PS1 at the time so we'd literally start from the beginning every time we wanted to play, talk about nuts XD

If anyone remembers Hexen, they're awesome :3

Pullus, do you know what "epic" means?

It certainly doesn't mean running around for ten minutes and shooting bolts.

You know what is epic? What I just saw on my brother's copy of Skyrim.

I was playing it for a little while. I own the 360 version, and he has a PC version. I was trying out his character to see what he had different than mine. We both rolled the same class essentially - high elf battlemage, but with mostly different loadouts in every slot.

At any rate, he tells me to travel to an area just to complete a simple quest. I fast travel to the area.

I begin talking to the lady to finish the quest and recieve the item.

Out of no where, in the background, I see an immense dragon flying towards me in the background. It gets closer and closer while I am finishing up this conversation, and eventually begins to breathe fire on myself and the woman I am having a conversation with.

From that, we began a 15 minute battle with not ONE but TWO dragons attacking the area. Every humanoid and animal character within a 1 mile radius began attacking the dragon. Fire, flames, arrows, and swords were clanging together to fight off the beasts. You would see them land in the distance, and begin to massacre and eat imperial soldiers, wolves, and whatever else was in the area. Eventually, we won, but the entire town was ransacked. The dragon nearly destroyed a farm house by sitting of its roof, while spitting flames at the townspeople.

It was 100% unscripted. Totally random. I have never seen that kind of random brilliance in any game.

This is the kind of thing I would like to play this game for.

The game has a lot of wonder and uniqueness to it. Something that I felt Oblivion lacked and what Morrowind had.

You are in a huge, amazing world. What you do in it is totally up to you. Although there is a story to the game, you can strike out at any objective you like and get lost in it. Become a farmer, a blacksmith, a warrior, a mage, an assassin or any mixture of them. Visiting the same place twice almost never offers the same results. I mean, I've visited Whiterun close to 100 times so far, and there is always something different about it - children running somewhere else, a new cove to explore, something to add to my house, or simply to earn some cash by developing my skills.

Personally, I love taking the quasi non-violent path of becoming an alchemy master. With smithing added, it adds a new area of the (peaceful) game to develop.

The game isn't perfect, but its darn close. I wish they kept Levitation and Jump spells from Morrowind with all of their game-breaking goodness. Given what Skyrim brings in terms of vertical depth, you'd think they would of allowed it. I could only imagine the fun becoming a demi-god that can jump from the Throat of the World to another mountain range in a single bound.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

The video was not captured to really "entertain". It's just showing us some pretty atmoshphere, beautiful environment, stuff we can actually do.

You didn't fail, but people here either expected too much from a video that is spoilers/story missions-free or they are just being mean for no particular reaoson, the latter is common in vgc

It's the OPs fault the title basically said *This video will totally convince you if you're on the fence about Skyrim


I didn't mean you, and I was just trying to balance some of the heat the OP got lol

Also, what are you doing here? shouldn't you be praying jom'a?
