The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim E3 Gameplay Demo Part 3

lol I've been watching every part progressively as they come out for like the past 5 hours

God, I want this game now.

To get it out of the way early:

- Yes, that music at the start is from Morrowind.

- Yes, it's raining inside the tower.

Yeah!

God, the music at the end of this demo is FUCKING AMAZING.

Wow the music in this part is fantastic. I much prefer this (music similar to Morrowind) to that of Oblivion.

/moan

Hell yeah, baby.

HOLY SHIT THAT DRAGON.

Yep pretty awesome I just hope my computer can play it xD.

I am so much more excited for this game than I was oblivion. The whole game has such good polish. Even the character animations look great.

I came

Giants procedurally herding mammoths? FUCKING SOLD.

Also appreciate them getting dragon anatomy correct (four limbs not six).

Yeah, thank God someone took the time to go to the Smithsonian and look at the dragon skeletons that...are there....and...

Wait, what?

Todd Howard is a Jerk! What did those giants do to him?

I want to buy this game a million times.

DOVAKHIN!!! I want to scream that at someone randomly now

OH MY GOD!

Hearing that Elder Scrolls theme in this super epic style is KILLING ME!

Do I hear strains of Morrowind?

Also...FUCKING INCREDIBLE.

Damn it's going to be hard to wait for a GOTY version of this game.

Giants and wooly mammoths, huh?  Bethesda has been reading too much George Martin.  :p
 
"Soul absorbed", huh?  Too much Demon's Souls.  :D

EPIC

As a fan of both Morrowind and Oblivion and their music I'm excited for this. I got chills the first time I hear the theme of Skyrim and the mix of Morrowind and Oblivion. Jeremy Soule in one of the few game composers I bought his work to listen too. On my iPone I have the Morrowind and Oblivion soundtracks.

Is that what he screamed??? Here I thought he jonesin' for some NOVOCAINE!!!

@Gildermershina: A true nerd would know dragons don't exist so who cares how many legs they have?

Man, this looks incredible. I was trying to hold off watching these videos, but man I could not resist. This game seems to have much more polish than any ES game has had in the past, I can not wait to get this for PC.

Every time he uses his fire spell it sounds like he's coughing up a lung.

Aw poor giant. What did he ever do to you?

Looks epic though. Do want.

I like how stoked the player character is after killing that frost dragon.

i've seen this exact same gameplay like 5 times already it seems.

I think that was the fire breath shout and not an actually spell. Not 100% sure, though.

Wait, what?

Well, dragons are reptiles right? Reptiles have four limbs or less. Many depictions of dragons have four legs plus two wings. Which is fine, except that in those fictions, there's usually no other vertebrates with six limbs, so where did those extra limbs come from? In a game like this, which seems to be going for a relatively naturalistic feel to the visuals so I'm just saying that I am glad to see they are consistent in their world's internal evolutionary process.

You know, unicorns don't exist either (sorry kids), but if someone showed you a picture of one in this game with a Cthulhu tentacle mouth, you'd probably agree that's not really the kind of mouth something that's basically a horse would have right?

Although if it did have that, I would be pretty stoked.

I like this very much. I would like it now please :)

Why would he attack the giants? It just destroyed the atmosphere and made the game look juvenile.

They should make a good Lord of the rings in that engine. After all that sort of the base for this type of fiction.

Take all my money. JUST TAKE IT ALREADY.

I cannot wait.

I literally got chills down my spine at the end of this video...

wasnt it because the crowd was being annoying? you cant hear them here but i saw footage of this at the show filmed with a camera and that crowd was just annoying as fuck

Yeah the crowd was screaming for him to attack villagers and tea bag wolves and headshot guys throughout the demo. So by the time the mammoth thing came along, he basically said fuckit and attacked it to appease the crowd.

Aren't the dragons supposed to be random encounters? Pretty convenient that two of them showed up in the middle of the battle with the giants.

i'm not so sure about all this dragon killing. it feels like the equivalent of killing bald eagles for their sick talons.

Well I haven't got into a elder scrolls game yet but this may be the one!

The pegasus' and gryphons would like to have a word with you. Also, dragons with wings for arms are apparently referred to as wyverns. Your "6 limb" dragons seem to be the norm.

The magical dragon language can summon storms or burn things to the ground. They're intelligent. They disintegrate upon death and you absorb their souls. I don't think your Darwinian theories of evolution really apply.

That aside, this looks incredible. I'm actively turned off by all of this Tolkien-esque stuff and have very little interest in this as a game, but I am incredibly excited for what this may mean for the next Fallout game!

Oh man, that was all pretty fucking awesome, and the ending fight was worthy of being called epic, especially with the music.

I still haven't played any of TES, even though I have Oblivion still unwrapped for my 360. I should play that for a bit, to get ready for this. These demo videos really upped this on my radar.

Yeah, but killing eagles doesn't let you summon lightning to kill your enemies.

It just lets you summon hail, that's less impressive.

Why did he attack those mammoths? They were just minding their own business!

I'll be playing this, but BF 3, Kingodms of Amalur and SWTOR are just as high on my list!

Soundtrack. I want.

This game looks incredible! Pretty stoked for this after watching these videos.
