    Okay, so wolves still have the same behavior as in Oblivion and Fallout, the kill cam from Fallout is there, and the horse mechanics and physics are still the same. Hopefully not too much cause for concern...

    Watching those dragons eat people and lift them up off the ground then throw them is easily the high point of my day. I need this game more than I need oxygen.

    I was born to play this game. After years of using junkyArd drAgonslAyer as the character name of every character I've ever made, including Fifa, Madden, and any game you can think of, my character name will actually make sense for once!

    Video was just cut down version of the video for E3, nothing new to see here. Not that I need to see anything new from this game to convince me to buy it.

    Mostly I think I was more impressed with this uncut gameplay than the edited WOO MUSIC AND VOICE OVER YES cut they had at E3.

    I'm worried a lot about the voice acting. In this clip, it sounds very American, which isn't good. I know this is an American forum full of Americans and I'll probably get my arse handed to me on a plate but I just think that the voice acting in Morrowind was superb, the different races all sounded unique. Oblivion was still okay but they started re-using a lot of actors for the same races and it ruined it somewhat. Skyrim sounds like it could be even worse - it just doesn't sound right!

    Mattaeopteryx I have no idea where your from, but with your use of “arse” and “superb” my guess would be some where in the British Commonwealth. Not Canada though, you just don’t sound Canadian. Anyway that’s neither here nor there. Personally I think you are being far to generous to the voice acting in Oblivion, there where less than twenty voice actors and two of them only did one character each. One beggar in Skingrad had a fake Irish brogue, and two other badly done voices, all in the same conversation. I’ve heard that this is something Bethesda has fixed in Skyrim with more actors. Let’s hope they get it right. I hope I wasn’t to hard on you.

    Not at all! I'm just glad that a) someone else noticed it and b) someone else has agreed that it's something that needs addressing. There are a lot of people who would just think "yeah... so what" but for me it's something which potentially ruins the immersion factor for the game.

    The American comment was... more me thinking along the lines that the I enjoyed the voice acting in games like the Fable series and the diversity offered in Morrowind. Nords have always, to me, sounded north-American (I'll be honest I can't really tell US/Canada apart - sorry about that) but with things like Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings etc being set in a fantasy setting and with the accents in these being typically more regional British sounding, it has become the "right-sounding" sort of accent to affiliate with this type of game. Does that make sense?

    Of course I would never suggest that I dislike the American accent, all I'm saying here is in context to the fantasy genre - for example there was no issue with Fallout because that was set in the US. It IS only a tiny clip, it IS in Skyrim which will be full of Nords like Morrowind was full of Dunmer - and the Nords WILL sound American, it's just that if the vast majority of people dossing around sound like that then I'm not sure it'll be as endearing as the previous games, to me at least.

    I'm from the UK, very superb of you to guess where my arse comes from ;)

    I never thought of the word "superb" as being one which would make me sound English. Bizarre.

    “Superb” isn’t a word bandied about here in the US, having a more formal or higher class tone here. Also the use of the word “clip” isn’t standard in the US either, even though we understand what you mean, we tend to say “video.”

    I use the word arse and i'm as American as they come. But anyways back to the topic. They added alot of great graphics but it makes you wonder what they all cut out to make it pretty.

    This was made with an entirely new engine. So I don’t think they cut anything to get better graphics.
