Elder Scrolls V

[Fire Me Boy!]

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!

Oblivion is in my top 10-15 games ever, preordered this and still haven't played it. I'll get around to it when I'm bored, providing Torchlight 2 isn't released before then.

You can capture high level souls in it and then use that to do a magical upgrade on an items.

btw keep an eye out for a soul capturing weapon, you'll need it.

Can't you just buy the spell to capture souls? I did.

yep ... but it's usually harder to get it to time out right.


With a weapon you just start wacking and eventually capture the soul.

Halfway through Oblivion got repetitive as hell and you basically stopped leveling up.

Hopefully Skyrim won't have that same problem.

So far Sky rim already has more battle variety than Oblivion ever did ... so that's a good sign.

Lolz Bethesda never changes, great games buggy as always though. I remember when Daggerfall came out, same type of bugs.

Dragons: You Are ****ed

[allen_kcCard]

Looks like when I get to play again I definately need to start working on bows. Only to level 5 before I stopped for OTR beta weekend and to see if I could fix the chick talking to me for The Coming Storm, but up to that point all I had been doing was roasting people with magic, that or stabbing at them with a dagger that made them flee.

Roast em coming in, stab them to make them flee, them run them down and roast em some more.

I had probably the most memorable battle in any video game I've ever played, especially since it was unscripted.

Coming down the shear slopes of High Hrothgar towards Whiterun, having just seen the Greybeards for the first time, out of nowhere the first dragon I've directly encountered since the opening scene rears up over the rocks. ****ing Ice Dragon.

I'm playing it on Master, and I'm completely unprepared to fight this thing. But I'm half down the mountain - way too steep to run back up; certain death to run down. So I sprint and jump along the rocks laterally, trying to heal as I go, but taking tons of damage. I make it a fair distance, but the thing swirls up around beside me. No time to heal. I'm gonna die.

But I'm not the target! Hajvarr Iron-Hand, some bad-ass dude camping out alone on this precarious little outcropping, is shooting arrows at the dragon and he's its target. But then it flies away for awhile and he starts coming after me! Bastard AI, WTF! So he and I fight, but then the damn dragon comes back and hits both of us.

I don't want to kill Hajvarr, because he can soak the dragon's damage while I shoot it. But he and Dragon still go after me too. For 3 days and nights in-game, we play a 3-way game of cat-and-mouse on the cliffs overlooking Whiterun: healing, fighting each other, taking turns going 2-on-1. Took me almost 2 hours, because Dragon refuses to land.

Finally, Hajvarr dies, but Dragon is badly wounded. He swoops down to the plains and I follow. Finally, he lands. Two guards run out and Dragon starts fighting them. I'm far away, but I can see his life getting really low. So I sprint, ignoring my low health, trying to move in for the kill.

Then Dragon inexplicably turns to me, somehow realizing I was coming, and rears up, about to frost-breath me FTW. I pause the game, trying to think of something I can do. No potions left. Healing spells are too slow. Whirlwind Sprint, the shout I'd learned 2 hours ago! I equip, unpause, shout it, and smash him with Molag Bal's mace before he can kill me. I'll see you in hell, Dragon.

Unforgettable. It's too early to say Skyrim has supplanted Morrowind as my favorite game of all time. But it's well on its ****ing way.

Read what he puts under the video. When you play a game for eleventy billion hours, you are going to find a few bugs.

Created a Redguard beast last night. He's going to be a dual-wielding, heavy armor-wearing machine. Magic and ranged weapons are for pussies.
