RockPaperShotgun has 20 reasons to be excited about Skyrim
Joystiq has an article up.
IGN interviewedTodd Howard from Bethesda on the evolution of the Elder Scrolls series. Here are the details and some new screens:
- Bethesda's using Havok's animation system (Havok Behavior) in their game
- The .nif file extension used for mods is still used in Skyrim
- Alongside the Fast-travel system from Oblivion will be a Carriage-system that takes you to other cities for a certain fee. This includes cities you haven't visited yet.
- There will be areas that are too hard for low-level characters.
- There is no set amount of Dragons in the game, they're placed pretty randomly, like other creatures
- The conversation system, while now in real-time and without the zoomed-in view, still functions similarly to Oblivion's
- The new combat system is also supposed to help players differentiate and develop their characters into a specific form: "You can't be everything at once."
- There's crafting for each archetype (Magic, Combat, Stealth). The magic crafting system, as we know, is Enchanting, and allows you to enchant items and tinker with their effects.
- There are more unique armor sets than in Oblivion
