Amazing tale about two Bozzies in their way to Winterhold. I would watch a movie about it.

One of the best previews so far, by far. I wish all of them could write like this guy
instead of the so commonly short, and to use blunt honesty, crappy pre/reviews.

I laughed so hard when he discovered that he was in fact traveling with, Jesus!
My cat look at me funny from the chair next to me and my wife even came over
and asked what I was laughing so hard about.

Another quote that had me laughing hard

“How’d you do?” He asked.

“Well, it was one long ass walk but I made it to Winterhold!”

“Wait, dude, you walked all the way to Winterhold? Did it ever occur to you to find a horse?”

“Well.. I.. umm.. wh…. I.. just… *sigh*… god dammit…”

I have to say quite possibly the best pre-view I've read so far, I still got tears from laughter.

No comment about Maiq how do you think he feels when we show him no love.

can someone give me a jist of the new info?

Companions can't die and can apparently pull a Jesus and walk on water, other than that nothing really new.

CANNOT WAIT, 11 DAYS!! :intergalactic:

Remember kids, when confronted with spoilers, just remember how close Skyrim is. It will be easier to resist.

Oh gee, I wonder what Maiq is going to say about werewolves.

Well, at least some companions won't die.

So it appears that weather and environments (such as rivers) DO have a large impact on gameplay. Wewt

literally cant wait

Just a warning, that article's full of spoilers.

Yeah, I stopped reading at one lying khajit.

» Mon May 14, 2012 3:38 am

Read the whole thing, there are not significant spoilers at all.

Very entertaining.

» Sun May 13, 2012 6:57 pm

I can not believe no one has really said anything about m'aiq. all these threads speculating if he would be in the game or not, but no one really seems surprised about it. lol.

» Sun May 13, 2012 1:28 pm

good guy....the Ending was really epic "why not go into the libary now?"
ALTHOUGH i dislike that he Took the common Path "he did the Golden claw quest and went into the college of winterhold just like 100 people before him did >.>" he did give a good decription of Skyrim...

Dam again good reveiw

Another journalist encountered him a while ago.

Thanks, I'm betting the companions are immortal during this early build to help the PCs in their playthrough, but who knows. Either way I can't wait to play this game, it sounds awesome. :celebration:

» Sun May 13, 2012 7:06 pm

Sweet! M'aiq is back!

Edit: How do I put a spoiler tag?

Well, the other previewer was playing an early build too. It's possible they were playing different builds, but another alternative is that some NPC companions can't die while others can. For all we know, Faendal is part of the main quest. Or it could just be the he's stronger--he does offer training in archery after all.

loved hearing that rivers have currents that can actually pull you... maiq, cant wait to pick your ear, but its a little displeasing to know that well only get one tidbit from you each time we find you.. also i hated companion quests in morrowind or oblivion, glad to hear companions arent just pincushions, errr, they are but then they get back up this time around.
all in all i have to agree with the rest of you... that was a very enjoyable preview, even though ive seen most of it before.
