Only two months have passed since I last saw The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Bethesda, an international audience of journalists to an exquisite lodge invited in a fit of inspiration, several thousand feet above sea level in Park City, Utah. We were in the panoramic landscape of rugged mountains and the coniferous trees springende forth from the quiet and deceptively deep sheet of snow, a Majesty meant for us to remember, the Kingdom of the Skyrim even carried away. It was in this setting that I was shown an epic one-hour hands off-demo of the game. So was it difficult as the 15-minutes hands-off demo at E3 2011 in a booth with strategically placed enclosures, walkways and plastic impressed with podiums.

However, it was not all for naught. The short E3 result essentially confirmed in a single shot the experience bar on the screen, that main character Dragonborn level 34, showed, that there is no level CAP and matching until a question is easy to earn experience points. This is a sigh of relief for everyone-myself included - who loses motivation after reaching the highest character, or that the oblivion system of finds (okay, deep breath) deliberate skill building for not more or less than one + 5 modifier be earned (whew!) much too complicated for certain attributes that only to sleep. Together with the removal of the acrobatic and athletic skills, so that players are not encouraged, jump and run as rabbit on crack, the number of attributes have reduced from six to three: health, stamina and mana. It is a simple case of fine-tuned control edit location of files.


At the same time, the building remains intuitive streamlined skills. Creation often use magic and you become stronger in the creation of magic. Hit enough enemies with a long sword and get bonuses on single-handed swords. Near the road, you can also through a circle of three stones, are essentially the Mage is Warrior and rogue archetypes, and enable a these stones a bonus experience the associated these archetypes skills to gain. Modernisation and earn skills is easy; only by peering into the sky, you can use each of the eighteen skills as a constellation with each star, an ability or perk, and each line which indicate the branches of the skill tree. Not sure if a more brilliant than the interface.

The Elder Scrolls, the series has always been about position out in an indiscriminate direction to explore and the spacious environments with an open mind, but a tired eyes and Skyrim is no different. The Central story revolves around the return of the Dragon, the evil God Alduin, and how, that Dragonborn is on your character, as also the urgent need of the Kingdom recognize a new High King (whether you can fulfill this role, remains unknown), but the intention of the series is a matter, in the world of the Skyrim feel so immersed the player, which hides the specified underlying story arc in the background.


Much like an other open-world Bethesda-play series, don't be surprised to find his eight hours later not you know how you are at all wrapped in eleven incomplete quests. In a twist, some of these are created by the developers on what they "radiant" storytelling system dub, where the game of quests based created on what you have and not yet completed. If you receive a request in the city for a missing daughter, to say the game places them in a nearby Dungeon which you have not explored, scattered from among the more than hundred dungeons in Skyrim. This ensures that each play is unique, and the Player discovers new areas.

Conclusion of and more, obviously requires a sense of awareness and a steady hand in the fight. You have more than a few weapon configurations available: bow and arrow, sword and shield, two-handed sword and magic spells. You can even mix and match, magic in the right hand for balanced Setup, with a sword in the left hand and a frostbite or spell in each hand for an aggressive magic attitude where you both can hybrid for free in a deadly Spellwoven. Secretly in low light is still preferred for critical hits. On the beaten paths you can choose flowers and herbs for Alchemy, turn salmon salmon steak in addition to the fire, and you choose battles with mammoths and giant, hostile should not normally be avoided.


The same Dungeon with the Golden claw, obviously with different speeds, but as well as insightful presents both demonstrations. Apparently random to a completely planned mountain and a few of towering, stone semicircle discover doors near the ancient ruins, the Dragonborn is a fire-breathing dragon at the entrance, immediately what (how convenient) give him through the doors. It is then that they are looking for a golden claw, which could be clear of overhearing a couple of bandits, when she quickly, are killed the key to a load of treasure. This leads to a circle of protection, kill spiders, Gießen ward off skeletons to find and use the claw, and finally their Dragon priest near the end of the Dungeon golden.

In addition standard prey and learn new spells by books learn words in Dune as a devastating shouts Dragonborn, similar to the killing. Each shout can be charged depending on three different levels how many words you can find of this particular shout and how many Dragon absorb souls against your winged brothers. The default priority takes a Mana source, it only makes a short amount of time for your cries to recover if your shout is a simple deafening noise or a spell of time slows down,.

A large part of the Skyrim is still under wraps - craft systems, guilds, quest management, lock picking, speech, character generation. I saw horses such as a mount and a 3D map, which simply at any time can be accessed by Zoom, if the mount and that has left the full features, was unrevealed. But if any claim that I have what I saw not to worry. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is with 11/11/11 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC will get.
