Bethesda Talks About The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Multiplayer

 

Many Elder Scrolls fans are eagerly awaiting the end of the year, when Bethesda releases Skyrim, the fifth installment in the series, which will introduce not only a new story, but also an all-new engine that promises to dispatch of the hilarious yet frustrating bugs from previous Elder Scrolls games or from the Fallout ones.

 

Howard, the director of Skyrim has now shared a few details about two of the most requested features, and how some may not make it to the final game.

 

"The two most requested features we get are dragons and multiplayer. We got one of them this time," he said to IGN. "We always look into multiplayer, put lots of ideas on the whiteboard and it always loses. It's not that we don't like it. I can think of ways it would be a lot of fun. At the end of the day, that dev time is going to take away from doing the best single-player game we can, and that's where our hearts are."

 

Even if there won't be a multiplayer mode, Skyrim will have "about the same amount of geography and content" as its predecessor, Oblivion.

 

The geography will be different than in the last game, as Bethesda has implement new areas like mountains, which change up the exploration part of the gameplay.

 

Last but not least, the main character of the game, who is a descendant of actual dragons, will be able to shout different words in his native language, which result in powerful magic attacks that take down enemies.

 

"You learn these throughout the game by finding the words on ancient wall carvings or being taught them...It's all part of the ancient Nordic culture in Skyrim. Each shout is formed with up to three dragon words. Some are crucial to progressing through the game, while others just provide you with more power or interesting things to do."

 

Even if The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim won't have a multiplayer mode, it seems Bethesda is focused on delivering a quality role-playing experience, albeit only with just a single-player campaign.

Skyrim small install size for PC, Bethesda bragging rights

 

Yesterday we told you all about Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s minimum and recommend requirements, at the time we listed 6GB of hard drive space as one of these necessities, we thought that this was very low, however it turns out that this is in fact accurate.

 

Recently it hasn’t been unusual for games to require 15GB+ of hard drive space, therefore we thought that such an expansive game like Skyrim would be similar, but as it turns out Bethesda Softworks’ upcoming game for PC needs just 6GB of free space, that’s nothing.

 

Like us, many gamers were sceptical about this, however Bethesda’s VP of PR and Marketing has been clearing things up about the relatively small install size, we can’t help but think he is taking a stab at other developers with the following tweet:

 

Content doesn’t take lots more space if you know how to build an open world game, which we do.

 

=====================================

 

tweets from Pete Hines, Vice President of PR and Marketing at Bethesda

 

Because content doesn’t take lots more space if you know how to build an open world game, which we do.

 

Oblivion was, what, 4 (Gb) something? Did it have more content than these games being mentioned that have 2x or 3x the install?

 

6 gigs: New engine and we’re much better at compression (art/voice/data). It’s huge yet more optimized than we’ve had before. And faster.

all this talk of 'better compression' is a smokescreen for shittastic texture quality. they've either got crap textures or they reused high quality ones a lot. not even sure which of these is worse :\

Let Afty decide that :naughty:

 

Who is reviewing it?

cmon plz say its you know who

Thats the biggest issue with such games. but if th e world is detailed and beautiful enough and has enough depth, then that 160hours of bleh can become enjoyable.

Hope so it happens, cos I feel like getting this . never played Elder Scrolls before.

 

Oblivion wasn't like that. Lots of grass in the open areas. And the Oblivion gates were awful. I still get a sick feeling when I think of all that red molten and everything there is red red red. Ugh.
