Hi all! Hope you're having a great day.
At the risk of forum lapidation, I'll post what I like and don't about the trailer, which I'v watched 3 times in a row. Bear in mind I'm not too keen on the whole vampiresque burlesque.
I did like: the Dawnguard Castle looks fantastic. It'd be worth joining the ranks just to be able to roam around freely or defend the whole structure. Darn impressive if you ask me! Also, crossbows do look neat.
I'm affraid I don't care for the rest of it. Animations look quite sluggish, a step backwards, really. Monsters, a few creatures and especially vampires look wimpish and seem to owe more to Oblivion's art direction than to SKyrim's. The magic portals appear crude and a bit cartoonish. Overall, the art style seems to be disappointing, but one will have to wait to gauge the final product.
There's no mention of any new gameplay features. We might learn about that at E3. But in the end, If it turns out to be the case, I'll be happily spending those 15 euros on a ticket to Prometheus, coupled with some low grade sushi.
