While I hope they've made an affirmative decision before even showing it off, I'm certain that the forums have influence on them. Bethesda wants to give the fans what they crave.

Sure, vanilla Skyrim may be lacking in some important features, depending on who you ask, but Bethesda really cares about us, I think. That's why we have things like M'aiq (despite a 200+ year difference from his debut in Morrowind), werewolves, the Dark Brotherhood and dual-wielding.

Maybe not all of it but im sure lots of those ideas they are already working on to put in the upcoming dlc. If they left anything out plz don't

I want my horse combat, damnit. Darn tired of having to dismount and have my mount mauled by a saber cat. Although Shadowmere is pretty tough...

I really liked the idea of horse storage. Incentive to go out and see the world, considering most of those who don't fast travel probably have a lot of loot anyway. maybe just like +25 or 50 just enough to help if you're over-encumbered. As for the vampire thing... no. I don't even... what's the point? i can see things like spears and even fire arrows but vamp lord or spell mixing? too much for the released game. But the lycanthropy tree seems like a possibility to me. I think I heard somewhere that new skills were being tossed around anyway?

Yes, I believe they do want us to have a great game and I do think they want to give the fans what they believe they fans want. However, there are only a minority of the fans who participate here on the forums so they will likely try to see a bigger picture. I think you missunderstood my realism as pessimism, I am very positive towards Bethesda, but I do not expect them to value my personal opinion more than others.

Now your just delusional.. they want money that's all and money talks. Various elements have been stripped even from Oblivion which is a feat oin itself. Things like the "HD" PC DLC should have been part of the base game not a later added edition as well as other PC fundamentals like a proper UI and a FOV slider not requiring to go "~ FOV 90". Or how about testers or testing in general releasing a game and making it better then what was released a unfinished non working game on release for each platform. With the "JUST PATCH IT" thinking. Or how about features that were promised by Todd himself that did not make it into the game primary economy and ways to effect it.

Now it might now be BGS fault entirely for such features it may because they had too little time to finish the game because Bethesda put WAY too much money on the "EPIC" date of 11.11.11 and BGS was rushed due to it missing that date would have costed Bethesda tons of cash of wrong PR.

And for any of those who will stand up and PRAISE your holy master BGS and defend Skyrim as if the game is the best ever made and/or you personally have no issues whatsoever so therefor do not exist. Before you react and BGS defense is a go I ask you kindly why these features are missing? and why have so many issues occurred from day -3 release (yes negative 3 because it was released in early) been reported constantly on various sites from various people on a large scale?

Ok, I'm all up to speed now.........HOly geez, that awesome stuff was done in only a week!? Man...The devs are a hell of a lot more talented than I thought. Some of that stuff would be awesome!


p.s. two drops of pee came out when I saw the giant mud crab.

I really, really hope so. All that stuff is game enriching, and cuts up the monotony the game has a tendancy to become.

This is great.The only thing i really don't care for is mounted combat.

Fixed it for my own use P

Maybe some ideas will be implemented in an expansion... If they were left out, probably it means it wasn't judged feasible (besides the PC platform, the basic game has to run also on consoles) or came too late into the development cycle to be implemented and proofed

Some awesome stuff there! I love the mega mudcrab - truly a KCUF! moment.

vD

*Mind blown*
That was pretty much everything I've wanted added to Skyrim (save the vamp lord, just looked bad).
Call me a sheep, where do I leave my money?!?

Gotta admit I drooled hard. Things i loved, the mounted combat, kill cams for magic and archery, spell fusions, vamp lord, goblins, fat giant, giant mudcrab, spears!,awesome new mounts. But most of all I think that these are things that should have been already had they given themselves more time to do so. Not only that but they needed to learn a few things from Dark Souls when it came to weapons. Swords Axes and Maces should bounce back upon hitting a wall, that should have been added. Attacking should consume stamina and stamina should recharge at a faster rate because of this else it becomes a hack and slash game like it is now and combat gets boring quick. Guards should have mounts as well, makes no sense that there is a stable right where the town exit is and that all guards go after me on foot. These are some of the few things I wish had already been put in.

This is all great and well but a lot of these things should have definitely been in the game upon release. Things like a werewolf perk tree and spears just smell of content left out just so it could be sold later on as DLC... I hope I'm wrong.

Oh they know.

I sometimes wonder if Todd and Bethesda ever feel guilty when they see people `hoping` for stuff like this that they have no intention of ever providing.

No, probably not.

All this in one week? Really Bethesda?

I'm all for constructive critisism. But meh, this gives me a bad taste. Seasonal foliage, footprints on snow, SSAO, spears, mounted combat, arrows with effects, too much to mention, much of that stuff should and could have made it into the game at release. Bethesda, imho you really need to re-think your creative processes, you aren't using your creative abilities to the fullest.

So alright. Now I'm hoping for either DLC or mods to add all this.


Putting that in unannounced would be awesome. (As in, not as a DLC but sneaking it in via a patch..) I would crap my pants if that "surprise" came out of the water.

Ooh that is so funky. I do hope they put them in the game. Thgat would be so much fun.

I want to build my own home, and seeing the different seasons would be wonderful ^^

I understand. While your personal opinion obviously is not as valuable as yours and mine combined, every voice counts


How about you learn to grammar before you insult someone, eh? I didn't need to read past your first sentence, and I'm going to ignore any future posts.

Get out of this thread if you have nothing constructive to say.




Here come to kewl kids. Surely you two are not foolish sheep who purchased Skyrim in the first place; you must be beyond our base consumer mentality.

I'm reporting your nonsense. Leave the thread; I want productive posts, not posts that can or will incite the anger of people who actually care about the topic.


See, you care about the topic. I do, and so do many other posters. These kinds of positive posts are what I'm looking for, and what makes Bethesda proud of its fanbase--the very company, should I remind others, whose forums we are using.

Anyway, I agree; I didn't care for the vampire lord thing, but consider this:

Firstly, it can obviously be improved upon. Anything can, and the very nature of the vampire lord idea is that it's an improvement on vampirism. Secondly and much more importantly, this is only a week's work by one employee (since each person competed separately). Imagine what they company could do if they worked together for a month!

Pause the video and you can see some of the perks.

I did the same, and it was a tad blurry. I haven't watched the video since, but I'm going to up the quality when I next watch it.

Adjust brightness settings in game and tweak your tv settings and you'll have dark dungeons...some dungeons are barely visible with a torch/candelight and night feels right for me.

People need to stop complaining to beth because their tv svcks and their settings aren't right

Sheogorath commans that the bestesda staff add the Jam Stuff As DLC! Hopefully even as one DLC since they wanted to do large ones!

DO IT DO IT DOIT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT!

i'm guessing all this awesome was achieved using the creation kit

I have a mod to make the dungeons harder and my screen is tweaked to be darker, but the dungeons are still bright as daylight. They have had this problem since Morrowind, the new light spells are cool but useless because there is no place in the game that is so dark you would have to use a torch, night eye(which is sad, because this ability was one of the biggest reasons i chose khajiit for my first character) or a spell.
