2011-05-14T22:33:00.000+10:00

Well finally, its back up. I was freaking out for a while, wondering if there was something wrong with my connection, because the maintenance lasted longer then it said it would.

Oh well, here we are :)
So in other news, osama is dead. But is he really?
I guess we will never know, have to trust the government i guess.
Havent had much released about skyrim as of late, so I dont have much to comment on.

Im currently playing minecraft a lot, its a pretty great game.
What games are you guys playing now?

I found this cartoon Harry Partridge created about Skyrim.

This is pretty much representing myself at the moment.
Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Races - Image included

2011-04-26T18:26:00.000+10:00

So it has been confirmed that all the same races from the earlier elder scrolls will be included in Skyrim. Will there be changes to them? We're unsure at this moment but below is an image of an orc, one of the main races in the past elder scrolls games. The attention to detail is astounding and the unique-ness is second to none.

It sure will be a hard choice deciding a race in this game!
What will you choose?

Just over 6 months to go!

First Gameplay Trailer Released!

2011-02-25T22:45:00.000+11:00

Another Screenshot

DRAGONS!
We know this game is centered around dragons. Infact, the main villain is a daedric dragon. And only >you< know how to stop him, being the last of the dragon born. So will we see dragons in game?

The answer is:

Yes we shall.
But will we be able to tame them? to use them for combat? transport?
We don't know yet, but between you and me, I think we will find out a whole lote more about this game in the next 12 hours *HINT HINT*

New info coming soon directly from bethesda.
Adios :)

Ranger

2011-02-23T18:44:00.000+11:00

Hey folk's.
So after studying a screenshot of Skyrim, its clear that there is indeed a lot of changes since oblivion.
Firstly it appears there are seasons. It's quite evident in the image below.

As we can see it's the main character (player) in a ranger type class. I guess you could call it hunter, but then it sounds like its coming from WoW. Either way, it look's pretty damn cool.

Curious if this game will use DX11. I guess we'll find out.
More images later.

New Screenshots

2011-02-22T18:01:00.002+11:00

There are a good 8 or more new skyrim screenshots released.
The resolution on some of them is a let down, but it appears to be quite nice looking, an improvement on fallout new vegas, better then any other bethesda game so far.

Will post them soon, need to study at the moment :D

APOLOGIES~

2011-02-21T16:04:00.000+11:00

Hey guy's,
My internet has been down due to some infrastructure collapse, but it's all back on now.
So I was unable to keep you updated, but sometime in the next few days I should have all the newest info.

Skyrim's Beauty!

2011-01-24T03:49:00.000+11:00

Hey guys, I've found an image of skyrim, (a screenshot as it appears)

There is no higher definition available yet, but damn, this looks pretty amazing.

It looks to have a Depth of Field effect, something we didnt see in Oblivion without mods.

There isnt much to say about this, the image speaks for itself.

Enjoy!

Apologies

Alright for people reading this, I'm sorry that im not too great with HTML and whatnot, so my page isnt super appealing, but i think the layout will suffice for now :)

So some things confirmed for Skyrim:

New gameplay features introduced include dual-wielding (assigning a weapon or spell to each hand), and new weapons that can be smithed at a forge from heated metal. Unique finishing attacks are used for each weapon. Players can challenge (and be challenged by) any NPC to a western-style duel in the streets. The third-person perspective has been improved, and the heads-up-display is optional. Stamina can be expended quickly by choosing to "sprint", and backward movement is slower than forward movement.^[1]^[4]

Character development has been changed as well; "class" selection is no longer used, and instead of the twenty-one skills in Oblivion (twenty-seven inMorrowind), Skyrim will feature eighteen skills (one of the removed skills is Mysticism). Faster player level increases can be achieved by increasing developed skills. Gaining a level also grants the player level-specific skill abilities and an increase in health along with an option for a greater increase in health, or an increase in magicka or stamina. Leveling is possible above level 50, although at a much decreased rate. Level-scaling will be used, but will be more comparable to Fallout 3's system than Oblivion's. Five magic schools are used: Destruction, Alteration, Conjuration, Restoration, and Illusion. Regarding the player's personal physical appearance; there will be ten playable races, the player character will still be very customizable, and beards and customizable body features will be among the new options available.^[1]^[4]

Player/NPC interactions have been improved, with the "Radiant AI" used in Oblivion replaced with a new version called "Radiant Story". Conversations between the player and NPCs won't freeze the rest of the game world, and the NPC will continue their activities while occasionally glancing at the player. NPCs react to the player's actions in new ways, such as fighting over possession of an item dropped by the player or attempting to return it to the player. The shop of a killed NPC may be inherited by another NPC, who may then offer the items/quests of the first but may not have the same disposition toward the player. The player's actions also directly affect side quest creation, as well as altering parts of quests. Character creation also affects which quests are available, with some quests only being offered to those specializing in certain skills. Dialog options are also available with hostile NPCs

Seem's pretty good so far :)

Hope its a step up from oblivion, yet a lot like morrowind.
