Back to anticipating Skyrim so...

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

just to spite you i installed it again

apparently fo3 hates my two monitors. disabled 1 of them and vanilla starts fine.

now i can try modding it all again

pc gaming.. who needs to actually play games, installing them is half the fun

hypermuse

Question..

I played morrowind and oblivion for PC n nver on console..

Was it ever made possible to get mods as DLC for consoles??

Skyrim is a PS3 job for me unfortunately!

Nah guys Dragons don't work like that, you can't have more than one fighting you at once..according to todd anyway, they used to have it like that but it was too hard. One can come straight after the other though.

Also no hypermuse no mods on consoles

the magic of mods will probably allow it to happen again

where did you get the info on those stores opening? source?
the closer were getting to release the more I'm considering the collectors edition.

Tar.Aldarion

they should be able to come at once, and then you should have to run away. id like it to be hard

Yeah still unscripted, there are 6 types of dragon which are unscripted I assume, then there are named ones who sit in certain areas or are quest enemies such as the one in the first hour and the one for the fighters guild quest(I think FG, might just be main quest). The 6 types can come at any time etc, after you advance a little in the main quest.

If they came at once you'd probably die since a single one of them is suppose to be a mini boss, it looks hard focusing on one giant flying thing let alone two or three, Todd said there was three around him and it felt liek lord of the rings or something, he was just running away and had no chance, felt cool in it's own way but that's not what dragons are intended to be in it. It's hard to run away from Dragons though if you think about it. Far as I know, you can't jump 200 meters like Morrowind, and there ain't a recall spell etc.

You know you never catch it, right?

I'm hoping that all the bugs are ironed out of skyrim by the time i get a new laptop that can actually play it, i.e. sometime next year...

Was there Mark/Recall in Oblivion? (I can't remember!)

I know they got rid of some spells in Oblivion from Morrowind (Levitate etc). I DO remember Mark/Recall in Morrowind though

I just started playing it again but no, apparently not, you had to get mods for it



i suppose with fast travel it wasn't as vital but no need to be taking it out

I looked this up the other day because I used to love those spells in Morrowind.

What is interesting is Howard’s response to why mark/recall will not be reappearing in Skyrim:

We were really limited in Morrowind because the player could recall or levitate out of many situations and break them. There was a lot of good gameplay and level design work that we just couldn’t do and now we can. Back then it seemed like many good ideas we had were shot down when another designer would say “oh yeah, I just levitate or recall away.” So we got rid of them.

If it's anything like morrowind/ oblivion you have to have the mods in a certain load order or else the game might be unstable or mods can interfer with one another.
