SKYRIM!!!

[MetalMike06]

Made me chuckle.

[Onno]

Not only the mead and ale, but the skooma will probably help a lot too 

[snapple]

Weird things happen in Solstheim! The first thing i did when i arrived was to take 7 hour nap at a inn but when i woke up i was suddenly at a green pillar half across the island hammering at a stone thing! ....the hell? 

I'm super intrigued by the story so far, I've only entered one dungeon so far and I was assaulted by tentacles...

...If you know what I mean.

I <3 tentacle po...oh wait

Imagine a TES game taking place in the whole Tamriel continent! Daggerfall still holds the record for the biggest gaming map ever and it's only taking place in High Rock and Hammerfell buuuuut yea it's size and content is not rational to the other games because it's apparently twice the size of Great Britain!  I wonder though if we'll ever see a game taking place in the whole continent of Tamriel, i mean it's probably possible in a few years but the big question: Will it be too big and overwhelming? The size of Skyrim is pretty perfect to me but i can't help fantasize being able to travel outside of Skyrim if i wanted to, that would be pretty awesome!

[Zook]

You can probably level up 20 times on your way from Black Marsh to High Rock.

Made me chuckle.

So what would that make the drunk characters? Super drunk?

Bethesda is pretty set on each game having it's own province. They don't want to short change other provinces by saying "well, fuck Black Marsh! Let's just do THE ELDER SCROLLS: TAMRIEL"

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Well what i meant was IF they would ever do a TES: Tamriel in the future every province would be equally important of course and with out a doubt a BIG-ASS game!  It's highly unlikely it would ever happen of course but it's a tempting thought. So my question was even if the size would be possible, would player's want that size or would it be to overwhelming? I mean when i started Skyrim i felt pretty overwhelmed by all the locations, areas and quests you could to the point that i almost didn't know where to begin so i could only imagine a map size like Tamriel would be a bit to much but still i can't help wondering.....

For Bethesda i think the format they're doing now is perfect because now as you say they can focus on every province and make it as detailed as they want but still in reach with today's hardware. There's a reason they have gazillion load points in Skyrim, if they didn't the game would not be possible to make with today's hardware. I have no problem with that though as long as the game is fun and immersive it's enough for me.

[ariich]

I thought TES Online was going to cover the whole of Tamriel?

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

That is true, i had no idea but that's awesome! 



Although i don't think TES: Online will be as detailed as Skyrim and will not have all the caves and stuff. It sounds awesome though!

[snapple]

It's being made by Zenimax.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

I must admit this MMO has made me quite excited. I just watched this video were someone explains a little more indepth about why we all should be excited for TES: Online:

The Elder Scrolls Online does indeed contain the whole of Tamriel.  Also, the team of modders at Dark Creations (Beyond Skyrim) are creating all of Tamriel.  Looks good so far

[snapple]

Look up Skywind.

[WindMaster]

Shit I can't wait to play skywind.

[Zook]

Ok it's the 12th, where's our DLC?

[Dimitrius]

You have to wait until the PSN Store is updated, so it will be up at night since Sony takes 500 years to update the store.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

[Zook]

So I rushed and downloaded and installed Dragonborn before installing the latest patch, so the game doesn't make it past the main screen before freezing? Any tips?

EDIT: Nevermind, the update finally popped up.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

So i've been playing Hearthfire the last couple of days and have buildt myself a nice looking house at Falkreath Hold. It's all jolly good except for one thing:



This fucker got slayed outside my house (he was intruding my building plans so i had to take legal actions...OK!!!!) and now he's there, blocking my beautiful front view all the fukin time!!! 

[Dimitrius]

That shit happened to me too!

[Zook]

That's actually a good lawn ornament for telling others not to fuck with you (if only).

Can't you just shout the skeleton out of the way?

[WindMaster]

Hit it with a firebolt spell. It will go flying.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Oooh i will try that! 

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

Yea it felt like instant karma! 

[DebraKadabra]

he was intruding my building plans so i had to take legal actions...OK!!!!

I don't have the Hearthfire DLC so this may be a stupid question but... how do you take legal action against a dragon?!

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

I kind of missed the important "into my own hands" part!  and btw that fucker should know better than to mess with someone's property, no matter what earthform you have! 

[DebraKadabra]

Ah, that would explain it.

Just started playing this thing last night, with no experience whatsoever with any of the ES games. As a person who likes to be good at everything, I'm not liking the need to be so specialized in this. Seems like if you wanted to focus on both combat and magic, you'd wind up being merely half-assed at both. That about the gist of it, or is it possible to be particularly well rounded?

[Dark Castle]

My character is ridiculously good with Archery, Single Handed, Blocking, Stealth, and way to many other things, if you want to be godly, just keep leveling everything up. It's something I honestly don't like that much, it eliminates any need for me to make separate characters since one can be a god pretty much.

I focused all my efforts into archery and run shit.

can you make separate characters while continuing previous ones? i was under the impression if you started a new character it'd overwrite everything

Yeah, just keep track of your saves

It is possible, as your skill in each area increases the more you use it.  The effectiveness of a skill can be improved with skill points, which are limited and prevent you from gaining every skill.  If you're on PC, there are mods to remove that cap and become GOD.  But even if you don't spend a skill point, the effectiveness does increase slightly with each level.

The game encourages branching out, as this is the first in the series to allow you to equip to each hand separately, like a sword in one hand and a magic spell in the other.
