The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim E3 Gameplay Demo Part 2

Glass swords? Okay, I guess I'm buying this.
 
Also I love that Giant Bomb remembers my fucking birthday so I don't have to enter it twelve goddamn times.

Looks so awesome.

I put over 160 hours into Oblivion, this Elder Scrolls may take the rest of my life to play!

@SSully: Lucky for you because the Game of Thrones Game looks shite. Although mercifully it must be shorter than those bloody novels...

I want this game now!

@Benny: I remember reading somewhere that there are around 60-70 voice actors.

It is a hard wait for 11.11.11.

Dude, that music.

Anyone know if it has more than 3 voice actors?

The water is rising through the rocks! Instead of falling. 3:37 - onward. Interesting!

@calumlittle: Exactly why ill stay far away from it as possible!

MAN I can't wait for this!!!!

I already know that my characters last name will be Stark. Winter is coming

YES!

Oh. My. GOD. SCREENSHOTS. I CAN'T WAIT.

if the 360 version looks this good, I heard him talk about medium res textures, I can't wait to see the pc version

alrighty then, im sold!

Game is gonna look awesome on PC for sure.

Other than the more than likely absence of hotkeys on the PC version, this looks awesome.
I'm really looking forward to play this.

This looks super clunky in the same way as Oblivion. but considering that I spent 150+ hours on Oblivion, sounds like a day one purchase for me!! :D

November can't come soon enough.

Guy didnt block once throughout the vid. Game needs a kick or shield bash button!

he blocked the guy with the arrows and there is definitely a shield bash ability because he uses it at one point and you cansee the talent tree for block early in the video and shield bash is one of the options

man I don't know what to think of that glass sword it is definitely better then oblivion but it looks like i'm gonna have to recolor that stuff again if I ever plan on using it.

I want to play this in third person... Am I crazy?

@JayHayabusa: Yes, yes you are. Nothing wrong with a bit of crazy, though.

Yeah, managed to make the mistake of only watching part 2 and not seeing part 1 or 3 haha. I wonder if there is a "kick" perk for unarmed, dual wield or two hander

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

I hope it does, in this trailer you can hear 2 of the most prolific voice actors in the entire series already, the redguard guy and the high elf woman.

so excited for this

I'm going with Davos the Onion Knight or Euron Crow's Eye.

Nice dungeon-ambience, love that stuff.

Heavy tiling on the ground textures. :(

Great quicklook guys I may pick this up eventually.

I'm going to play a female stealth assassin I already decided would be named Arya Stark, and a male fighter/mage named Jon Snow. Looks like everyone is going with Game of Thrones characters this time around. :)

I'm going with a male white haired battlemage named Geralt. C-c-c-combo breaker!

Heh.

I have a question for you people, if anyone actually reads these comments past the first few. I played Oblivion and Morrowind on the PC, but I'm planning to get Skyrim on the 360 'cus lately my PC gets real, real hot if I play semi-modern games on it. Do the Elder Scrolls games translate fairly well to consoles, or is it a pretty inferior way to play it? Thanks, if anyone sees this and responds! Have a freshly-baked bear claw! :)

I'm hesitant to get TOO excited. Oblivion had almost the same sort of trailers and it was great in the beginning but then the lackluster quests and outright broken leveling system made the game really drag, and in the case of my non-magical thief archer practically unplayable.

@RedCricketChase: Oblivion played just fine on the 360 aside from the pervasive bugs that plagued the game. The real loss will be mods, but if you're okay without them the game plays great. I'll take my bear claw to go.
