Where did you hear that? Just by reading these forums, I hear people saying how the difficulty has increased in terms of the lack of scaling, and that interactions and character builds are much better. It is hard for me to believe, just based on reading this forums, that this is even more watered down than Oblivion. | ||

Obviously, the mods make the game a lot better, but I'm worried that my laptop won't be able to run it with proper graphics... Do you guys have any idea how my laptop will be able to run this game? (Forgive me for my noobiness with specs) I have as processor i7-2670QM (2.20Ghz, 6mb cache) 8bg of 1333mhz ram Nvidia GT 555M with 2GB of vram Thanks in advance for any help! Well I'm not entirely sure how well done the pc version of the game is but from what i've seen myself on the 360 version and then a educated guess would be that you will do fine | ||

Oh no you didn't. Nonono, nonono. Oblivion can't be watered down, I would say that it's diluted to the point where it wouldn't be worth the money if it were diluted any more. Everything I've heard about Skyrim sounds wonderful, especially since they mentioned that they were trying to bring back some of the feel of Morrowind. | ||

Skyrim will be more similar to morrowind terms of questing , exploring and a leveling system more similar with fallous3 ( perks). | ||

What exactly is the leveling system like? If there's a link or something with it plainly written I'd be just as willing to look at that, I just feel kind of in the dark about the leveling system. I understand it's not like oblivion's which is nice, but in what ways it is similar to fallout, and where does it differ? | ||

Breton: quick and perceptive grasp of spellcraft, boost resistance to magic, can call upon dragonskin power to absorb spells. Dark Elf: noted for stealth and magic skills, naturally resistant to fire, can call upon their Ancestor's Wrath to surround themselves in fire High Elf: strongly gifted in arcane arts of all the races, can call upon their Highborn power to regenerate Magicka quickly Imperial: skilled with combat and magic, get more money when they find gold, can call upon the voice of the emperor to calm an enemy Khajit: intelligent, quick, agile, good theives due to natural stealthiness. can see in the dark at will and have unarmed claw attacks. Nord: resistance to cold and "famous as talent as warriors?". can use a battlecry to make opponents flee. Orc: smiths are prized for their craftsmanship, heavy armor orcs are among the finest in the empire, and are fearsome when using their berserker rage. Redguard: most naturally talented warriors, have a hardly constitution and a natural resistance to poison. They can call upon an Adrenaline Rush in combat. (we're playing as a Redguard) Wood Elf: make good scouts and thieves, no finer archers. Natural resistance to both poisons and diseases. They can control animals to fight for them. And seriously guys, this consoles vs pc talk is getting annoying. IMO, consoles are for convenience, and PCs are for customization and better performance/graphics. Playing on consoles is a very respectable decision, as not everyone has the patience and/or money to build their own PC or mod the game. If you have fun in the game, PC or console, then that's all that matters. You are a hero. I am going to model my first Skyrim character after my perception of you. Which is a complete and total badass. One question though... What race would you prefer to be? ^__^ | ||

I understand it's not like oblivion's which is nice, but in what ways it is similar to fallout, and where does it differ? oblivion is basically a copy of morrowind's leveling system. skyrim is like a cleaner version of it. just for people who haven't played either game i'll be a bit more thorough in oblivion/morrowind you could select "major skills" and "minor skills" i.e. skills you focused on and skills that you didn't focus on much, and you could manipulate leveling in minor skills to improve your overall stats (things like strength, agility, etc) before you "leveled up" which you got to do by leveling major skills. it got to be a somewhat complicated task to max out each level, and even though i'm pretty hardcore about the game i found it rather frustrating and tedious and i never bothered with it beyond making sure i didn't have a shitty level up, because you could actually end up with "leveling up" but not actually getting much stronger. focusing on minor skills can mean the difference between 1 stat point and 5 and across 20-30 levels that makes a massive difference in skyrim there are no minor and major skills, just skills, and you level up by leveling them up as you go through the game. skills have different values for your level, but they mostly have to do with your "expertise" in the skill, i.e. leveling a skill from 79 to 80 benefits your level up more than a skill being leveled from 19 to 20. that's why there's no classes anymore in skyrim, because there is no forced focus. you just do what you enjoy doing, and you can change up things on a whim. it's expected that you end up gravitating towards certain skills but you don't have to like you used to edit: forgot to add that when you level up in skyrim, you select between either boosting your magicka (which is basically mana), your hit points, or your stamina (which is used for running, strong attacks and a couple other things i might not know about). you also get to add 1 perk point to a skill of your choice. this is what makes skyrim still have pseudo-major skills and pseudo-minor skills, because if you want the sweet perks in a skill, you'll focus on leveling that, and the reason i feel it makes it a cleaner game when it comes to leveling is you don't worry about nonsense minor skills that you actually don't care about just to improve efficiently. | ||

So hardcore gamers could potentially have a perfect characters with 100 at all stats ? Or am I missing something ? | ||
