A few questions related to magic

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 2:18 am

Night Eye - is it still like putting night-ops on like it was on Oblivion or is it made better way this time?
Fire-spells - are they making burned marks when they hit on the ground? And are fireballs going to die with "sssshhhh"-sound and little smoke when they hit water?
Frost-spells - Are they going to freeze their targets like we saw happen with a dragon-shout? Are frost-spells leaving a small frost or ice for a moment on the ground or water when they hit on?

There's only four days before the release, but I wish to hear answers now so I can choose to play 100% without magic or using 15-20% magic in my game.

Night eye - Cant see why they would change it to be honest as it worked and I can't think what could really be effectively implemented in its place
Fire - Yes they leave marks however I am positive the marks would go pretty fast.
Frost - You can get a perk for it but it is under circumstances like when the person is below a certain amount of health as far as I am aware. It might work as a critical hit or the more powerful spell you get may have them affects. Couldn't see why more powerful spells couldn't :3.

I'm just going to use this thread to ask:
Is there a list of spells from Skyrim? I read a list that only included spells that were confirmed in official footage.

I mainly ask because I want to know if we'll actually get some good variety, instead of the usual bland crap the developers come up with.

I didn't like the way it worked on Oblivion it was not player-friendly way and felt a little pit unuseful. I liked the way it was made on Morrowind - there were different efficiency and depending on it world was seeming to have more daylight than it really had.

Fire - Yes they leave marks however I am positive the marks would go pretty fast.
Frost - You can get a perk for it but it is under circumstances like when the person is below a certain amount of health as far as I am aware. It might work as a critical hit or the more powerful spell you get may have them affects. Couldn't see why more powerful spells couldn't :3.
This sounds very good.
