tes v has just been announced!!!

This is just... it makes me speechless...

Currently too much hype to start posting, discuss the recent announcement here.

To top it off, Mass effect 3 will be launching the month after tes 5

Heard already about it. The video looks, or must I say: sounds quite promising. Eagerly awaiting this for a long time...

Yep. Does sound good. Beth does wonders with those sound tracks. No doubt we will hear much, much more before 2011 gets anywhere near November.

After all the hype with Dragon Age I just trust anyone any more. I may wait and let you guys check it out. Save me time, money and eyes.

I will follow this with great interest and also Mass Effect. Mass Effect I is more my style than Mass Effect II.

I just saw the following on TES NEXUS.
Quote:
According to German website giga.de, Skyrim developers plan to include relationships (both romantic and otherwise) in the game. The website was able to interview some of the developers; and while not much new information was given out, the following statement is present in the article they posted.


The website is in German but Nexus says that the pertinent line translates to : "Even romantic relationships and friendships are therefore being planned".

That would be friend. It seems more and more that Bethesda really does check out popular mods and incorporate them into their game. Too bad the modder can't get some financial reward or at least credit.

Sorry I can't get the link to the web site to work. You can go to NEXUS for the announcement and link.

It is reported that the Skyrim DLCs will be more substantial than they were in Oblivion.
You can flirt, romance and marry in Skyrim. Don't know if you can divorce or have children or a mortgage.
Quote from an interview "The armor system is very similar to Oblivion’s. The main difference is that the upper and lower body armors, the cuirass and greaves, have been combined into one piece"
There will be 70 voice actors in Skyrim. I am speechless.

Note: I have been dropping in on Bethesdas Skyrim forum and on TESNEXUs' and have not seen in serious arguments. Different opinions but done politely. I have seen a lot of griping though. People are getting really hot about some of the things they hear and the game isn't out yet. Lots of wish lists and speculation. Bethesda doesn't need to advertise their fans are doing it for them. I bet the developers are lapping it up.

My wish list is that you can wear a robe over your armour again, or at least wear clothes under it. That way, you can remove the armour while traveling in town and not forget you're naked.

Did you ever play Arcanum? I was playing a female rogue and went into a shop to get an outfit. Took off what I was wearing except for the undies. Got comments from the males around. It was so funny. After that I was more careful.

Got a little involved in a discussion on TESNEXUS Skyrim about the Creative Engine, what they are calling the equivalent of the CS. Not much is known but what little sounds good. Someone said that there are templetes for some of the quests. You plop in what you want to make it uniquely your own and your quest is done. Also there is a Rendering engine to make life a little easier on modder. I do believe that Bethesda really appreciates the modders that have made their game so popular and live so long.

I do hope that's true. We shall see come November.

You speak the truth.
