Elder Scrolls V: Oblivion Part 2?

[Maniacal]

That is one of the least informative articles I have ever read. Its barely a summary of (mostly) basic info everyone already knows and reads like a desperate grab for page views that was written in 5 minutes.

EDIT: Also original article here, they just summed up what was in the video. Crafting system is neat though,

Yeah, pretty much what I thought.

Seems like they've borrowed more than the lock picking from Fallout. The ability to cook your own dinner reminds me of the survival skill in New Vegas.

^Am I the only one who feels like they all have giraffe necks?

 

[Maniacal]

Do a lot of people in Santo Domingo have no necks? (Actually kind of curious now). They look fine to me.

 

[Arakhor]

Their choice of top doesn't help the look of their long necks, no. Why aren't the Altmer yellow?

 

[Maniacal]

I think they are a bit yellowish but once again the lighting for the face gen is probably terrible. Oblivion really had terrible faces and colours for people too.

No we're fine

It's probably this although it is especially noticeable with the female Khajits. Maybe I'm just crazy

 

[Wolfbeckett]

Yeah most of them look fine in the neck department, but what the hell is going on with the female khajiti?

Where did you get these Scamp? Is there any other new info, pics, etc.?

Male Orcs look more like gorillas than Orcs BTW... while females look... well, different. Better than Oblivion's Orcs for sure though. I like what I'm seeing. And not as if I have an established opinion on what Orcs should look like anyway, so...

Also those "non beast" race's face presets alone look much better than what you can achieve even with mods in new vegas/fallout 3...

 

[[to_xp]Gekko]

he got it from bethblog of course

no new info, just faces. lots of em.

Elves with beards - you're doing it right Bethesda

Down with the gay elf look - Hail the new manly Elves!

 

[Maniacal]

Manly elves FTW.

The internets, not Bethblog (though I'm sure that is where they were grabbed from).

There is plenty of info in faces, such as the huge graphical and less fake looking faces is a huge improvement

I don't expect the races to be that much different than before skill bonus wise.

Beards are a nice option


What's wrong with being gay

Skyrim will not have armour and weapon degradation which i am completely okay with since it was really just a hassle of a chore. They are instead adding in a skill that lets you improve your equipment.

 

[Mustakrakish]

That is a good thing. It didn't add a good RPG element, it just was a PITA.

Umm... drugs are bad, mmmkay.

Yup, even though I think it would have been cool to see your armor get dinged up and stained with blood over time. . .

I don't get it. . .

Hey, we should either get the thread title changed or start a new one. It's not a speculation about Oblivion II anymore and the title should at least have 'Skyrim' in it

 

[Maniacal]

Yeah there have been a few requests since Skyrim was revealed to change the title but no reply.
