Best Skyrim preview so far IMO.

Very entertaining read.

LOL, congrats.

Awesome read, thanks for the post! Still can't describe how happy I am for M'aiq living another 200 years (lucky basterd). Lol

Glad people are enjoying reading this hands-on, I was in two minds on whether or not to post it as I wasn't too sure how Ripten were viewed on here.

I haven't read 8 pages since... Maybe middle school? That was a good read though.

I'm betting that you can be companions with essential characters. that's probably what happened. seems incredibly exploitable though.

Thanks. c:

OT: That was an awesome read, he could've used a horse.

I remember the first time my character met Maiq, "Maiq knows all"; character strolls off:"yeah whatever"

"Finally I emerged victorious and turned around to see Faendal literally gliding across the top of water to meet me. My god, all this time I had been traveling with Jesus."
hahaha great preview, will definitely look forward to more skyrim news from ripten. more importantly...
M'AIQ CONFIRMED

pretty sure they were invincible for the hands on. People who have the game said they die, very easily in fact. You can even tell a town the person died to send out a recovery group. Otherwise theres no reason to give them better armor if theyre immortal.

Click reply and see what i done.

I'm willing to bet he is quoting George Thoroughgood's One Bourbon, One Scotch and One Beer.


This...

...and this.

It's in the "Other styles" drop down above the text box.

Glad that companions have standards on what they will and wont do

Good read.

LOL i totally cracked up at the part where he said "To the College of winterhold!"

And the next page showed just how freaking far winterhold was, and a FML to top it off xD

your a hard worker

Best preview I have read so far.

Thanks for the link.

Now that I've read it all, I thought it was really entertaining to read lol.

What page does it talk about 'immortal companions'?

@Azuron What was the FML for?

It is? Not to anyone who's been around these forums for a while. Very minor spoilers at best.


Maybe. Other reviews companions die. Time will tell. I hope they are immortal, it would make up for only having one companion at a time where in fallout new vegas you could have several but they were mortal.

Not sure why your ripping on this guy. This is probably one of the best reviews I've seen the guy was entertaining yet informative and had desire to cover new ground at least instead of doing stupid crap and regurgitating the same info like 99% of the reviews do.

Your loss. Spoilers are non existent unless your a noob.

Maiq was confirmed about a month ago, old news doesn't make much noise.

I think both reviews are correct. I believe that specific companions are immortal. But 'hirelings' and perhaps even spouses are 'mortal.'


Perhaps I'm just hoping... I want my general companions to be mortal.

Wonderful preview. I've got Dave on my "list" now. I'll be watching that one.

Anyone concerned for spoilers dont read page 7...and probably page 6, since it throws some clues at the end. DONT READ!

I was pleased to see that also, for me "yes men companions" were kind of boring, a bit of a disagreement makes things more interesting.

Yeah, i'd say though that maybe if they like you more, or you have a high level of personality* that they will do stuff for you that they dont nessessarly "want to do".
