New Skyrim screens and info (PC will use DX11) 56k

Sorry if repost.

Info- "- Bethesda's using Havok's animation system (Havok Behavior) in their game
- The .nif file extension used for mods is still used in Skyrim
- Alongside the Fast-travel system from Oblivion will be a Carriage-system that takes you to other cities for a certain fee. This includes cities you haven't visited yet.
- There will be areas that are too hard for low-level characters.
- There is no set amount of Dragons in the game, they're placed pretty randomly, like other creatures
- The conversation system, while now in real-time and without the zoomed-in view, still functions similarly to Oblivion's
- The new combat system is also supposed to help players differentiate and develop their characters into a specific form: "You can't be everything at once."
- There's crafting for each archetype (Magic, Combat, Stealth). The magic crafting system, as we know, is Enchanting, and allows you to enchant items and tinker with their effects.
- There are more unique armor sets than in Oblivion
- For those still hoping, no multiplayer."


PC DX 11 info-

"Will the PC version support DirectX 11?

Todd Howard: Yes, but I guess the real question here is do we take advantage of DX11's big new features and the answer is 'not specifically'. Our graphics work centers around doing things that will look the same regardless of platform, and sometimes that implementation will be different on the 360, PS3, and PC."

looks...not as expected.

the textures look absolutely awful.

Still a huge step up from Oblivion and Fallout 3, I'd love to see you make a game of this scale with amazing textures...

very nice

Luv it.

cant wait!!! and i cant wait to see what the modding community will do to this game, they did wonders to morrowind and oblivion.

Not really a huge step up from Oblivion, but still nice. And graphics have never been very important in the Elder Scrolls series. I just hope it gives the same feeling that Morrowind did.

Looks great, don't know what people are complaining about. Personally, I'd rather the game look great & then they can focus on the gameplay instead of looking insane & gameplay being an after thought.

Just another example of what us PC gamers have known for years and console gamers have denied for just as long. It's frustrating but we may as well accept it: regardless of hardware advances, PC games will not significantly advance until the next console generation.

If only an open world rpg would look like Crysis "drool". Call me a graphics whore, I don't give a crap. I just want to hunt wolfs with a bow in this forest.

Yeah that's true.

Looks great :D

I love how people completely skim past the gameplay additions and go straight to complaining about graphics. :roll:

I have high hopes for this one. Better not let me down.

Graphics look nice, but will it have the pop-in? Oblivion had nice looking screens but that's because the draw distance was seriously 15 feet. Until I see more footage I remain sceptical.

Maybe I'm blind, but the graphics dont look bad to me at all. In fact, I think they look fantastic. I dont understand what everyone is complaining about

It's no Crysis but it still looks great. I have a feeling that this game will be damn epic :D

TES always seems to start a graphics feud. I love the graphics and I can't wait for this.

What? The b****ing of the impossible to please hermits..? I'd say it's far from lovely and gets really quite irritating...

The game looks fine, not every game can be Crysis...

Why would anybody use the carriage system over fast travel? Is it going to be like you can only fast travel to places you've been and you can carriage anywhere?

Looks fantastic if you ask me. I can't wait to play this.

ugh,i hope those are xbox shots...

Looks okay so far I guess. The whole sentence about DX11 confirms nothing of actual DX11 usefulness. DragonfireXZ95

[QUOTE="bobbetybob"] Great first post and I already want to shoot myself. Why is everyone such graphics whore these days it's freaking unbelievable, the game looks fantastic and a massive step up from Oblivion and Fallout and people complain, why? Not every game has to look like Crysis...Advid-Gamer

Nah my HD5850 can play that map at around 20 - 30fps at those settings. :P

Conan playable character confirmed? :P

The screenshots somehow remind me of arcania.... and the game mechanics additions seem nothing really new, about half of them had been done in previous installments. :o

Conan playable character confirmed? :P

500 dollar DLC confirmed.

Anyone else disappointed with the actor they casted for the new Conan movie coming out?

On topic. How long did the modders take to make oblivion a decent game to play?

DillonShwing

i agree, the graphics look great.

to put it lightly, this game is going to be quite enjoyable...

Just another console compromised game I'll have to play at 100 fps maxed out.

If developers keep this up a few more years we'll play all multiplats at 200 fps.

Talk about wasting potential.

What map is it?

Looking great. Cannot wait for fall to roll around again.
