Video Games Elder Scrolls V - Page 30

**Fire Me Boy!** · 06-20-2009, 11:58 AM

So the guys at Bethesda let it slip a few months ago that Elder Scrolls V was in the works for 2010, and a friend said he read a possible release in 2009... I'm looking for the article, but I'm friggin' STOKED about a new Elder Scrolls game coming out in the next 12-18 months!!!

I think they can learn a lot with the successes and failures of their previous landmark releases like Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 and make ESV an absolute KICK ASS game!

Hopefully they give me my founder titles and camo for mw3 and I can find somebody to trade me skyrim for he founders card.

Congrats on finishing Daggerfall, I must have logged 2000 plus hour back in the day and never finished it. I remember playing a long time building characters then Bethesda would release a patch that killed my saved games. Still one of the best games ever, even with all the bugs. I purchased a house and lost a character because he was stuck on the stair well and couldn't move!

that would mean he would get less attention

btw ... Master Vampire and his bitches just gutted me and left me laying dead in stream. Yeah baby!!

fyi i guess NPC can die

Is there any drawback to using heavy armor as a primary caster? I'm not sure why everyone won't use the heavy armor tree to get heavy armor to weigh nothing, and then stack on all heavy armor and blast things.

I've been on the Staff of Magnus quest for nearly 5 hours of gametime.. Gorgeously drawn dungeons and ruins in this quest -- tough as shit too.

I spent pretty much my entire day yesterday doing that quest.

I think it was about 6-6.5 hours.

There are a lot more quests available there, but they aren't main quests like that one.

exactly what i'm doing

choose imperial so i got heavy armor to start and running full heavy gear now. The first heavy armor perk also increases your armor rating by 20% and you can take it several times. Either 3 or 5, i forget ... so by the end of the game i will be running weightless heavy armor that is 60-100% stronger than rating.

also going to try and get some Poison bow/sneak attack action going on. You can get 6x damage with that perk but it will take a lot of grinding.

This constant menu usage for weapons and spells is annoying.

The didn't want a hotbar/taskbar getting in the way of their pretty trees so you can't just click the weapons/spells you want. so they embedded everything. Then because they embedded everything they had to try and get cute and have the game try to remember the combinations you used. The next time you equip XXX spell the game automatically equips the same sword you used with that spell. Annoying as ****.

If you adapt your weapons to every situation you have to go back and and take off the stupid crap the computer chose for you and put the stuff you want. As spells don't override the weapon the computer chose either. If you choose fire for the left hand, the computer puts a sword in your right hand. You can't just click on another spell for the right hand UNTIL you unequip sword. Grrrrrrrrr.

all because they wanted the game pretty more than functional

Hammock Parties · 11-16-2011, 07:21 AM

I will probably look into heavy armor in a few levels since I can craft daedric stuff now.

Buying hearts is expensive though, and they rarely drop in loot.

Already got to see what all the stuff looks like though and it is really badass looking.

Unfortunately I am not going to abandon my iron helmet as it has a 25% archery bonus....so until I learn to enchant better I have to keep it.

The UI has been the main complaint I've heard. Apparently it's better suited for an Xbox controller. /shrug

I was using the 360 controller at first, but now I prefer the mouse/keyboard with the 1-8 hotkeys.
