Oh, no I wasn't responding to "hot in a cold way"
It doesn't mean there's so ridiculously cold that a wench couldn't get out of tavern for a smoke or something
Not a big deal, just wondering just how cold people expect there to be...

Well folks. . . looks like a couple things have been leaked over the past week.
The official (IIRC) map of Skyrim.
And a leaked gallery of cell-phone pics of the x-box manual.

I have high hopes for the explorer in me. Somehow I liked exploring in Morrowind better than in Oblivion. I felt far away when I reached places. Skyrim map: oooh lots of shiny far away places (I hope)
I was thinking about this the other day... You know one thing I like about Bethesda right now? They officially announce a game and they release it one year later, on time. Take notes other companies that announce games 3-4 years (or worst) before they come out, and then have delays. I'm looking at you Blizzard.

I totally agree with you. It does wonders for a developers reputation. But on the other hand, if someone gets bent out of shape over not having a game released on time, s/he has bigger issues to deal with.

Personally I'd rather a company announce a game, and then delay it to fix things, rather than just release it because they said they'd release it.
Personally I'd rather a company not announce a game until they know it's gonna be ready within a year.

No...
Nvm... was looking at the wrong picture.
The one who is casting a spell is clearly female indeed.
I'm wondering if you can block without a shield or not, because it seems that both mouse buttons are used for using the respective hand's tool's function. Is there some sort of "block" key not using the mouse-button? Because if that is the case, I'd love to see a shield bash.

This picture might interest you. . .
Spoiler :
1-handed weapon w/ shield - you can block
1-handed weapon w/ empty off hand - you can block
1-handed weapon w/ spell in off hand = no blocking
1-handed weapon w/ torch in off hand - you can block
Dual wielding weapons - no blocking
2-handed weapon - you can block
Archery - I'm not sure

You do realize that new animations have been added for skull bashing and cleaving enemy skulls (with axes/hammers/swords) right? I think I will be satisfied
I just REALLY hope hammers/axes aren't a waste in Skyrim too. Blades were the far superior weapon group in Oblivion, and I only ever used the Blunt skill for RP'ing purposes.

It's for a controller though... I really hope that on PC, one will be able to assign additional functions so that you could block with dual wielding too. Mouse buttons for left and right hand, while "F" for blocking for example. I mean there are games in which you can assign additional functions that aren't necessarily used like "strafe right" or something. It's unlikely to happen, but goddamn I hope it would.
Also really starting to miss the attributes.
Like this line: "The damage you do depends on weapon itself, your skill, and any pertinent perks." Now how much a "strength" attribute would be fitting in here. - "The damage you do depends on weapon itself, your skill, your strength attribute and any pertinent perks." it would make so much sense. I just want my male Nord warrior to be stronger than my female wood elf rogue. No need for all those attributes from the past games being back there, but 2 additional attributes to health, magicka and stamina would be perfect.
+ Strength
+ Dexterity
Health (endurance)
Magicka (willpower)
Stamina
Well Stamina could be also responsible/function as strength, and dexterity could be left out. Then I wouldn't be complaining, but it isn't.
For example magicka plus skill works fine, certain destruction spell requires so and so skill and/or strength of the spell determined by skill and uses magicka to be cast. You can't cast certain spell if you haven't enough magicka even if you got skill.
Now if you'd be required for example so and so stamina to wield a battleaxe effectively besides the skill I would be fine with the whole 3 attributes thingy. (I left out perks for example's sake)
What do you say good people?
