    The first, in-game look at most anticipated role-playing game of 2011 from Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim, slated for release on 11/11/11 for the Playstation 3 & XBOX 360. After seeing this trailer, I'm absolutely psyched about it. The Dovakhiin never looked so awesome!

    Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbCGEx23CjU
     

       

    So as anticipation arises, what's your take on TES-V thus far? Leave posts below and please, speculate away!

    You only need to post this once. No need to post it in 3 different forums.

    Alright, I apologize. I didn't know this forum actually existed. Otherwise, I would have posted here instead of everywhere. My bad. But the game's gonna be so awesome! :D

    Don't care what you say, when you do it right, high fantasy is still an awesome theme. Also I hope the dragons are going to kinda be like oblivion gates, only less shitty and more awesome.

    If you didn't add that last part I would have been really disappointed. But I agree, they better not make them a common enemy that you can kill after a few hits.

    I'm thinking like more of a location thing. Like the dragons are lording over their region or whatever so you travel around and take out the big guys before you can safely explore without a dragon up your ass.

    The animations look more fluid and it's overall more pleasing to the eyes- so I'm excited about that- but I'm disappointed they didn't show any conversation interactions. I'm hoping to see the quality of writing that Bethesda showed in Fallout: 3. Eager to see more.

    I'm a huge fan of Valve / Blizzard / Bioware, but this is the only game at the moment that makes me squeal like a little girl.

    @FreakAche: @The_Laughing_Man:  that was my way of stressing that leaving out the PC version is just as bad as calling a multiplat title a "x360 exclusive" for example.
     
    He forgot the PC version, and that is very misleading. 
    And so, he was incorrect. The Elder Scrolls 5 isnt a console exclusive, it's a multiplatform game.

    @Ahmad_Metallic: Oh yeah, I guess that is a pretty weird omission for a series as PC-centric as TES. I just didn't really think of it is incorrect, because everything he said was technically true.

    Dialogue trees aren't really great material for trailers, but I understand what you're saying.

    Hmm.  Gotta say, still has a similar appearance to Bethesda's Gamebryo games in some ways.  The way they model geology and the way their textures look stand out to me most.  It does look noticeably better overall, though, of course. 
     
    There are some marked improvements to the look of the way things animate and interact in the actual gameplay clips (the wolf at ~1:42 moves much more fluidly than dogs ever have in Bethesda's other games, and he turns gradually [and seems to animate with the turn] instead of doing that weird, almost snap-to turn that AI have in Oblivion and Fallout).
     
    I just hope AI always react realistically to getting hit and such.  I don't want to see any of the immovable statue nonsense of Bethesda's other games.  I don't want to ever slash a guy and make him cry out in pain while he has absolutely no physical reaction whatsoever.  I don't want to put an arrow into a guy and watch him continue his run animation at me like nothing happened while an arrow sticks out of his torso.
       
    Looks cool, anyway.  I'm looking forward to seeing how much Arkane's influence will change the combat.

    Jesus, hopefully the PS3 and Xbox versions won't look dramatically worse than the PC version, I just don't know how they're gonna pull it off on consoles and PC just ain't an option for me.

    The trailer is fully in-game 360 material. At least that's what Nick Breckon said.
