German Cover Article (Gamestar June 2012)

Post » Sat May 26, 2012 12:06 pm

I just got my hands on the German cover article. I'll try to summarize new bits of info and describe the new screenshots :)

- You only get quests within the borders of your faction (that means, a Dunmer won't get quests in Hammerfell or Valenwood, for example)
- Only 3 races per faction (You can't play an Altmer in the Ebonheart Pact, for example)
- Intresting description of a 1 vs 3 PvE fight, where a thief puts oil on the ground, a mage lights it on fire and a necromancer resurrects his fallen comrades.
- Public dungeons have puzzles and riddles that might require teamwork to solve
- Castles destroyed in PvP by siege weapons need to be rebuild

Big screenshots:
- Skyrim, Windhelm is visible in the background, a bridge crossing a beautiful river in the front, looks 100% like Skyrim
- Morrowind, a mage in detailed robe fighting a deadra spider with a staff, beautiful huge mushrooms, looks 100% like Morrowind
- Daedric ruin, a knight and a mage fighting a flame atronach, mage holds his hand up to the sky while casting a spell
- Flesh Atronach under huge trees, large cages hanging from the branches

Medium-sized screenshots:
- Indoor view of a Breton manor, several objects on a nice looking table, polstered chairs, two knights (one male, one female) with detailed ornamented armor
- Knight fighting a storm atronach, similar to the screens we saw

Small screenshots:
- Skyrim, Eastmarch, small hut in the background, huge cragged mountains behind that
- Morrowind, some ruins and Vvardenfell-like-mountains, huge mushrooms
- Blackmarsh, ruin from other screenshots, but different angle

The new screenshots are really, really great, especially the larger ones from Skyrim and Morrowind.


What bothers me though is that it sounds like we can't travel the whole of Tamriel with every character. :( Which is odd, considering we saw a Breton in Blackmarsh on one screenshot.

So Necromancers Confirmed. I guess itll be jus a specialization of the Mage Class. Still nice to hear that its in the Game.

Castles beeing destructable is nice, tho without that it would be kinda pointless. The thing of Questing only in your Borders is a weird thing isnt it. In other games with faction limitations you at least get something to do in enemy territory. But hear it seems you cant even do PvP there.

As for the screens i hope i can get that Article soon just to look at them. Im realy looking forward to see more of Morrowind and Skyrim. Kinda gave up on Blackmarsh.

Thanks for the info! So certain areas of the map will be locked off depending on race?

No link, it's a magazine article. Please don't ask for scans, as that is against the forum rules.
