April is here.... : V - Skyrim

» Wed Jun 13, 2012 3:15 am

Bethesda actually has a good track record of meeting dates like this, but hits in this area tend to be overshadowed by misses.

Mmm... I'm erring on the side of caution because of that January release one, where they said "sometime in late January" I believe. And now they are saying "sometime in April" At least with the 1.5.26 patch it was announced as an "accident" so we knew it was around the corner. Although maybe that hastened its release. Who knows?

Whatever you can criticise Bethesda for, they are the masters at creating hype and excitement about their product.

I don't get too excited about them saying "big surprise" anymore. Todd stated, before the release, that in lieu of Spellcrafting, they had some big surprise in store for mages. I have yet to see what was, exactly.

I think that Rockstar is on par with them, if not even better in that regard.

The only difference perhaps is that the creators of Gta and Red Dead Redemption delay the launch date ad infinitum if one of their product is not "ready" yet for the stores :biggrin:

Red Dead Redemption, and the expansion of Undead Nightmare was pure awesomeness. Just sayin' :banana:

1. "Alduin is not quite dead."

2. "We are happy to announce that all our resources in the coming years will be dedicated to realizing The Elder Scrolls: Online. Single player games are on the way out."

That's true.

Then again, somethings get postponed too long and stop being a viable project.

Senior Cinco - I agree with you. I had forgotten about that big surprise. I'm glad I did.

Spoiler

What the [censored] do you mean Alduin is not 'quite' dead.

Dragonborn are able to svck the very soul out of a dragon.. like mentioned in the game.. killing it PERMANENTLY. Alduin should be.. dead-dead.. not... dead-alive.

ALSO EDITED.

Alduin is an important dragon, what you killed was his double. Just like that poor Emperor stand in fella that you kill while cooking something for him.

Spoiler

What part of the game explains that it was a fake Alduin?

Paarthurnax is Alduins brother, and he has fought Alduin before, willingly knowing it was HIM.

Unless bethesda has another trick up their sleeves... then Alduin is probably going to have another Saga.

EDITED

And what about putting some spoiler for those who haven't played yet those quests ? :dry:

there is another section here to speak of those things "freely" if you want.

You guys realise they announced the surprise yesterday right?

Kinect support and DLC info before the month is over.

You may have already seen it but it seemed like people were still discussing what it may be :/

After the end of the game when talking to the Gray beard the main character says he didn't absorb Alduin's soul and then it was said that Alduin was special even among Dragons and that the gods may in fact allow him to return at the end of time to fulfill his destiny as world eater.

I am sure everyone is on board with all the Kinect news. I think the deal in question here is...

What exactly is the DLC?

Just read an OXM article saying the dlc comes out in the week after the 23rd of April. It made it sound like kinect was the dlc. I wasn't sure whether it was talking about kinect or the actual dlc that is coming out after the 23rd. It all sounded a bit muddled.It started off talikng about the xbox getting exclusive dlc content in April for month and then taled about the kinect coming.

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 4:05 pm

Wonder where OXM pulled that number from?

Anyways, my prediction is that will be the Kinect update. We will probably hear about the Dlc after that and get it near the end of next month.
