“As the Dragonborn at some point you can all out a dragon to aid you” fuck that, I want to become a dragon! Oh well, will wait for a mod that does that, after the thousand or so mods that change character’s boobs and hair and whatnot.
15 days to go!

Being a dragon would make it difficult to go dungeon delving.
Don’t be silly, I mean transforming into one then back into human form! :D
They already made that game, it is called Divinity 2.
How about a very small dragon? Say, poodle-sized?

Man, too many good games coming out now.
Yeah well… Divinity isn’t TES… imagine the fun of flying up to those peaks then fly down and jump on some enemy breathing fire…

Should have played Horizons. You could have played as a dragon, and fought deadly prey like maggots, in that game.

From that video there was a bit about leveling up. It seemed to say you gain skill points you must spend and when you spend enough, you level up. So that would mean if you pick up a sword and beat down 100 monsters with it, you gain nothing in swords (or whatever weapon skills they have) until you spend points in your swords tree? You could also buff a skill which you never use by this method. Is this correct? I am not sure I like this system.
No, he worded it really weird.
It still works in whatever skill you use advances from using that skill (which we’ve seen in countless videos), when you “skill-up” enough (I know that higher skills contribute more to leveling up than low skills), you gain a level. When you gain a level, you get a bit more Health, Magicka, and Stamina and are able to further bump one of those three up as well, plus you gain a perk, which you can save for later or spend immediately.
Also, leveling is supposed to be a bit faster, though around level 50 there is a soft cap whereby leveling slows way down, though there is no mathematical level cap, from what I understand.
I imagine most players will beat the game in the 40’s or so, is my guess. With around 280 perks (including ranks, some perks have ranks) each play through will definately have a different feeling character type, which is cool and new to the series, from what I understand. You might have Illusion up in the 90’s in two different play throughs, but the character that you sunk 20 perks into the Illusion tree will definately feel much different than the other one you funnled most of your perks into other trees, for example.

Funnily enough, Horizons(or Istaria as it’s called now) is still up. It’s free to play now, too. I nostalgia’d hard when I saw it - I was in the beta.
Anyone know if you’ll be able to import your face into the game with the Kinect/Vision camera like you could with Oblivion?
You could do that with Oblivion? Wow, I didn’t think that was a new enough game for that. If Oblivion could do it, I’d be surprised if Skyrim didn’t. What happens if you pick like an Orc or something? I would have said no way, but if Oblivion did it, they must have a solution that works.
Ah shit, I forgot that it was a separate program that did it. My bad. You would scan in your face and then it would tell you what slider settings you needed.
I know I did it with a Dark Elf because I remember my brother cracking up when he saw my face plastered onto that body.

Saldy for me, I’d be restricted to Orc.

I was in the open beta, if that counts for anything, and played it up until release. I ended up using the beta as a demo, and found the game to be pretty terrible at release so I never bought it.
I think the CGW review of Horizons was pretty awesome in the mocking sense, but it would take me a week to find that in the stack of magazines in the basement.

I don’t know … You could have dragons as party members in Might & Magic VIII.

Thanks a bunch guys, I just preordered the collectors strategy guide now…
I have one for Oblivion and the nice one for Fallout New Vegas, so continuing a tradition I guess!
