Nieuwe details Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Veel mensen kijken al lange tijd uit naar The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, maar moeten helaas nog wachten tot november totdat ze er eindelijk mee aan de slag kunnen. Gelukkig heeft ontwikkelaar Bethesda zojuist enkele nieuwe details vrijgegeven, en deze zijn veelbelovend: je kunt onder andere twee wapens tegelijk gebruiken en ook sprinten is nu eindelijk mogelijk. Check de volledige (was)lijst met details hieronder.

– 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.

– 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.”
