Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

All the details have been extracted from the Elder Scrolls V scans which were posted earlier today from the issue of GameInformer. There are a lot of changes which some fans might find disturbing. For example you wont be able to select your class at the start of the game. You can choose to boost health, magicka or stamina after each level. The level cap hasn’t been detailed yet but its definitely above 50 which was the max level you could achieve in the Oblivion.

 

The story of Elder Scrolls V takes place 200 years after Oblivion. This is a time when the dragons have returned to Skyrim. You character is put to the task of killing the dragon’s God since you are dragon born and hence it’s your destiny.

 

The combat in this sequel will be more tactical. You can assign each hand a function. The developers have focused on improving the combat and weaponry this time. Enemies level will progress with your own. Also some enemies might be replaced with tougher units

 

Quests will alter your missions as you go along depending on the actions you have taken. Killing quest givers will either cost you that quest or else the quest will be inherited by someone close to that NPC. However, you’ll have to work extra to have them give you the quest.

 

* Third person view has been improved

* 5 massive cities, more variation in caves and underground stuff.

* There is an option for no HUD.

* On Conversations: Conversations aren’t done in a zoomed in static shot anymore.Start a conversation with some and they will act like someone would in real life, looking at you occasionally and walking around a bit and also continue doing a task if they were doing one while talking.

* On Weapon smithing: Go to a forge and carve a new weapon out of red hot metal.

* Dual-wielding: you have two hands now in combat and you can wield anything to both hands. You may assign a dagger on left hand and use a mace with right hand. The choice as they say is yours.

* Duel: You may duel any NPC on the streets western style.

* Inheritance: When you kill a shopkeeper, his/her family member will inherit the shop and will be angry about you, but stil give you missions.

* Level-scaling: It is coming back

* 18 skills: supposedly even less skills to play with?

* No mysticism

* Perks: Rumored to be in Skyrim. I may have understood it wrong.

* Boosts: Pick stamina, health, magic boosts on level up.

* Enchanting: This skill makes a return.

* “Radiant storytelling” or Level Scaling 2.0: “The game eventually logs a huge storehouse of knowledge about how you’ve played, and subsequently tailors content to your capabilities and experiences. Entering a city, a young woman might approach you and beg you to save her daughter from kidnappers. The game will look at the nearby dungeons you’ve explored, automatically set the mission in a place you’ve never visited, and designate opponents that are appropriately matched to your strengths and weaknesses.”

* Fast-Travel: As you probably expect, you can instantly travel to previous locations with a tap of the button

* Sprinting: You can now sprint about!

* Town visiting: You may do more in towns, like tailor weapons, cooking, farming or mining. Not much details about this or how detailed they are as jobs.

* Dynamic Shadows

* Improved Faces/Improved Models Example: Faces have been dramatically overhauled. Characters now exhibit more emotion show of distinctions between different races and just plain looks better.

* Radiant AI

* Updated Engine Snow falls dynamically (not as a basic texture on the ground)

* Trees and branches move independently with the wind

* Water flows

* Randomly generated quests

* Beards

* You can’t run backwards as fast as you do forward.

* 10 races to choose from (Holy crap thats a lot of races)

* Confirmed creatures: zombies, skeletons, trolls, giants, ice wraiths, giant spiders, dragons, wolves, horses Elk, mammoth, saber-toothed cats

* Presumably open cities (as dragons can attack)

* Hud-free first-person view and improved third-person perspective

* Very unique landscapes! Also unique dungeons! In other words, lots of uniqueness!

* Character creation improved, body features customizable

* 2-handed weapons and duel wielding confirmed.

* Finishing moves, unique to each weapon and enemy you fight.

* Dialog will pop up when you approach an enemy

* Cooking/farming/mining/woodcutting/blacksmithing

* Perk picking at every level-up

* 5 Magic Schools Destruction Alteration Conjuration Restoration Illusion.

dar keli idomesni picai is rodyto video kas susije butent su Skyrim

As you can see there's some pretty excellent information buried within - like the new meats of the world. There's also scribblings of stealth mechanics, showing the mechanic is being built upon. Thanks goes out to Game Informer for the awesome video.

4 days ago the world wide web was buzzing with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim GameInformer magazine scans which brought with them bountiful heaps of information on Bethesda Game Studios upcoming game. It all sounds very impressive with a new and improved game/graphics engine capable of dynamic shadowing and even realistic looking snow fall. Various other improvements to the current game mechanics plus the newly added features put The Elder Scrolls V on our “most wanted” list for 2011. However there is one aspect of Skyrim that people may take issue with, that is of course level scaling.

 

Level scaling is principally described as the process by which as the game’s protagonist levels up by gaining experience points, the enemies level up alongside them, basically as the player gets tougher and more powerful, so do your enemies. Of course level scaling can apply to various other aspects of the game such as how much loot is dropped by enemies or the number of enemies faced by the player.

 

Level scaling returns in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:

 

“The game eventually logs a huge storehouse of knowledge about how you’ve played, and subsequently tailors content to your capabilities and experiences. Entering a city, a young woman might approach you and beg you to save her daughter from kidnappers. The game will look at the nearby dungeons you’ve explored, automatically set the mission in a place you’ve never visited, and designate opponents that are appropriately matched to your strengths and weaknesses….”

 

The above quote may bring a smile to your face, or a frown – depending on your perspectives on how a fantasy RPG should be structured. What this presents us with is 2 schools of thought with polar opposite views. On one side level scaling means the game remains fresh from start to finish, at each turn the player has a challenge to overcome and thus can never truly rest on their laurels, secondly it can be argued that with the inclusion of level scaling each mission will feel more unique as with each task the player is greeted with a different environment and different enemies. Level scaling also means that the player can never come across a situation where they become too powerful for the game, which often leads to boredom.

 

On the other hand, there are those that believe that level scaling basically negates the entire point of having a levelling system in the first place. What’s the point in levelling up in a video game, if everything else levels up around you? It can be argued that level scaling destroys the feeling of progression in such video games, because no matter how powerful you get, everything else is just as powerful as you. Imagine driving down the highway and you decide to see just how fast your new flashy sports car can really go, only to find out that even when you’re going at a nauseating 120mph, everyone else is too. Just no fun.

 

Those that are against level scaling would much rather that game developers simply designated areas of the game world were you have to be a certain level to survive, whereby the enemies that exist in these areas are too powerful for you to overcome until you reach a certain level, others simply suggest that level scaling can be applied but should be limited to a set number of enemies, possibly tougher enemies so you don’t have your average thief clad in expensive daedric armour and armed from head to toe. Either way there is a debate on both sides of the issue.

jo butu nekas, is tikro koks pointas isvis kelt lvl tada, ir isvis kaip tada monstrai gali lvl keltis kartu su tavim,jie juk ne zmones. visas pointas kad jei pradzioj zaidimo tarakonas yra ten 1lvl su 100hp ,tai ir po 10 va zaidimo jis liks 1lvl su 100hp, o ne taps b* 10lvl su 1000hp kad tipo atitiktu tavo lvl. butu shh tikrai.

Tai apie ka as cia visa laika ir snekejau. Oblvionas toki priciundala turejo, tik jis ne givybes kele o kas 5lvl tavo charakterio pakeisdavo i stipresnius monstrus.
