Can you point me to where you got that long list of points, Frank? Want to show it to some friends.

 

[Frank]

The information's from Game Informer's newest issue, but that list is from ze NeoGAF.

 

[Hailey Knight]

We have the physical copy of that Game Informer.

It is as hideous as it sounds.

I'd strangle a kitten for co-op multiplayer. In front of a 2nd grade classroom. Naked.

 

[Jay]

There was a mod in the works for that. It was barely functional last I heard.

Yeah, last I heard too. I don't think it's something you can really "mod" like that because there's a lot of guts that would need to be changed that is probably beyond most modders.

 

[Jay]

I'd love a coop mode. Just... not a MMO.... ugh.

 

[GasBandit]

You are perilously close to receiving my first brofist rating ever, and that makes me feel utterly soiled.

 

[SeraRelm]

He already got my one and only, make him earn it.

 

[Jay]

Let's be honest... a huge sandbox world that truly gets carved by the players actions, a customizable to the bone engine by an incredible mod-friendly developer, true party based battles where you can coop with friends to take on parties of bandits, a pack of frost trolls or even an ancient dragon? Let us not forget the possibilities of true player housing and quest particularly created for 2-3 man groups carrying one's one sigil or banner across the lands?

Or an MMO with 8 buttons, static NPCs and clicking on the same 4 buttons for more bacon.

No thanks, I'll take the huge sandbox coop world.

Sandbox...


Sand...

boxx....


boxxx...


box.....

 

[Shegokigo]

The most epic mod of all has finally been created. I feel sorry for all the console gamers that will never experience this amazing mod:

 

[SeraRelm]

Does Whirlwind make you fly at things ass first?

It'd be like the locker room all over again...

 

[Shegokigo]

 

[SeraRelm]

Oh god... If they picked a Khajiit instead...
"No, kitty! That's a bad kitty!"

 

[Terrik]

if only youtube wasn't blocked in china

Quiet you. It's to protect our harmonious society.

Are you saying you don't want to be harmonious?

 

[GasBandit]

I wonder, did they modify skyrim for china like WoW did? Something about not displaying bones/skeletons/etc?

 

[Mathias]

Oh man, that had me in tears.

 

[Jay]

Ok, I lost it when he landed on that guard and the guard said the magic words.

 

[Terrik]

I'm unsure if it ever had an official release. Doesn't stop it from being available. I know you could get the Xbox 360 version easily and nothing is changed. I bought mine legit on steam.

Pretty sure this only happened because certain groups didn't want a western game to be more popular then the more local MMOs, since vanilla WoW was already massively popular in China at the time, with BC only further increasing the playerbase. Once WOTLK was announced and the popularity only grew further, they came up with some stupid rule to delay the release as much as possible, which is why WOTLK came out in China years after it did the rest of the world.

I can't say this for certain, but I have yet to see any other game get as much of a delay to release in China for having "bones". Maybe one of our members that live over there can give us a better insight into it.

 

[Shegokigo]

So basically it's all the stuff we saw in the Developer's Trailer?

Not that I'm complaining in the least but I was hoping for a huge land mass addition....

 

[Frank]

Wait, did Bethesda design an expansion around some of the shit their designers made up in that montage thing months back?

Yeah, this exactly. I wanted some Aldmeri Dominion action.

 

[AshburnerX]

Basically, but a lot of it WAS stuff that the players had wanted. Besides, it looks awesome.

 

[Shegokigo]

It looks awesome, but is it 50+hrs awesome or 10hrs awesome?

Seems like they're putting in ALOT of people who want to go Vamp, what about those who don't?

I'm with Frank, I REALLY wanted to see some kind of continuation of fighting against the Aldmeri.

 

[AshburnerX]

I'm assuming that the new weapon types will be for the people who don't want to Vamp out, plus a few spells are likely.

And yes, I want more Aldmeri stuff too. It's probably in a later DLC.

 

[ScytheRexx]

It seems the basics of it are you can either join a new faction of Vampires, one's with greater powers, or join the Dawnguard, which are vampire hunters. The vampire faction will likely gain a lot of new powerful vampire skills, like seen in the video, but I am curious what joining the Dawnguard will give. I did like that we are finally getting Crossbows.

 

[Shegokigo]

Crossbows, while nice, is again, part of the Dev's Trailer.

They should have NEVER shown us that video.

 

[Jay]

Let's be honest, it'll be hard to one-up Shivering Isles.

 

[Shegokigo]

I was pretty let down with the very small involvement Sheo had in Skyrim.

 

[Jay]

You're always let down.

 

[AshburnerX]

I was pretty let down with the very small involvement Sheo had in Skyrim.

I thought it was disappointing how small of a role TALOS had in Skyrim. He's FROM Skyrim. People are forbidden from worshiping him. You'd think he'd have done something about it.
