they're going to add spears

Maybe they'll add spears in a patch, like the new kill animations.

God I hope so.

true story: I didn't even know those new animations got added in


until I suplexed a necromancer

I guess the two are fairly similar nowadays

well yea, but I mean...

Horse Armor = DLC

Shivering Isles = Expansion Pack.

The ranged kill cams are surprisingly satisfying!

Man, I love Skyrim.

Duke 2.0

It's gonna be pretty cool going back to playing dis in 5 weeks. Especially since I didn't get a chance to try out the new killcams before I left.

I Win Swordfights

oh man this game

i reinstalled it and modded it to the x-treme

it looks incredible

here look

just around whiterun




and the one that freaks me out about how good it looks



my characters

Melding

what make pretty mods did you use?

I Win Swordfights

oh god i couldn't even tell you

like i can tell you which mods were involved but i did it all with nexus mod manager and i kept overwriting files with other files and so i have no idea what's really in it

my game is the lovechild of this massive orgy of mods

Kuribo's Shoe

oh shit that kinect patch came out today

thanks for reminding me, skyrim thread

Scooter

I dunno if it's been mentioned already but I saw mention elsewhere that people had seen dlc files in one of the patches.

Spoilers?

Crossbows and vampire animations were in there

is it too much to have this on PC

I mean, I have a mic plugged in RIGHT NOW

The kinect has a ton of voice recognition tools built into the hardware. It's possible to mod this stuff in, but a lot more work.

I'd need something pretty amazing to reinstall. Werebears for sure.

MrMonroe

I would pay a pretty substantial amount of money to get like 1/2 to 2/3 of what they did in their game jam:

Syphyre

I really need to just chug on through and finish the main questline. I've how many hours in this game? And haven't finished it.

Dichotomy

well, we've already seen a few things from that video, the ones easiest to implement in smaller updates (kill cams, kinect support)

I would not be surprised if chunks of that stuff showed up in this expansion they're doing
I mean
they already have it laying around
they just gotta polish it up for mass release

Kuribo's Shoe

The Kinect stuff is pretty good

Sorting by weight and value is sooooo nice

HugmasterGeneral

Also they're doing that Kinect for PC thing, so that's an option later probably

PaperLuigi44

I heard about the killcam patch but that wasn't enough to get me back in just yet, as awesome the Thieves Guild is.

Them implementing stuff from the GameJam has gotten me pretty excited though, I'm hoping for giant mudcrab and darker caverns. Spears would be great if they come in every style, I enjoy glass/elven, etc.

That sounds like the absolute best way to find out about it.

The DLC really has me excited, I have to start playing this more. I started a new character last month and I've gotten a few questlines done so far, but nothing major.

that DICE video is incredible

Dichotomy

too bad I ended up ditching unarmed on that character because as it stands in vanilla skyrim unarmed needs maxed enchanting to not be incredibly frustratingly slow and fuck enchanting

I was sad about that

I guess New Vegas pampered me with the ability to kill anything with my fists

alternatingAberration

When I was skyrim'ing I used a batch filed called from the console in game after every odd level to increase my unarmed damage by 1. Seemed to scale pretty well. Sure, I wasn't hitting like I could have with a massive blade of dragon bone enchanted to the nines, but that's what kept the whole 'stay dodgy and quick' feel of it.

Dichotomy

and it really sucks because unarmed has some extremely fun animations

I mean it has its own stealth animations, for fuck's sake

but it's got a backstab multiplier of x2, regardless of anything, and with the low max damage you can pull off with it, even as a khajiit with fists of steel and max enchanted gloves/ring, you're not gonna be one-shotting anything but common bandits from stealth

Hunter

The first time my sneak-thief archer went full kill cam on a single shot to some random bandit's face I was hooked again on Skyrim. I was progressing through the Dark Brotherhood quest line and during the final mission on the optional kill, I got a beautiful camera shot of my daedric arrow going right into the target's throat from side to side. The weird crescent arrow tip sticking out on the other side.

Between the poison, my upgraded legendary bow + enchant, and the 3x bonus for a sneak kill, I believe I pleased the Dark Mother and made Sithis proud. I then went invisible, looted the corpse, and killed some other Penitus Oculatus that had the audacity to still be alive within shooting range.

Crowbawt

I watched my friend's super buff khajiit with a mohawk named "Kitty " suplex Sven's old mother in Riverwood to death

it made me want to start playing again

Dichotomy

I discovered the other day that the magic kill cam on the master-level fire spell is pretty good

slo-mo slamming your hand into the ground and panning around the whooshing fire (in the middle of whiterun)

WeedLordVegeta

the unarmed animations are amazing

but an enterprising modder made some more wrestling animations

if you don't enjoy chokeslamming someone off a mountain, I dunno what to tell you

or throwing someone in a dragon sleeper

Falx

When they release a patch that makes the game not freeze every 20 minutes I'll think about picking it up again.

Dichotomy

dang, that sure is a 34 meg patch filled with hidden secrets that I am eager to see show up in DLC

Also, I've come around on the whole metaphysics thing.

Even if I still don't really care much for Vivec.

On a sliding scale from 'Oh cool they added spears' to 'Dovahkiin and Nerevarine team up to fight crime' how crazy are we talking here?

dbrock270

the latter

I killed him, stole his soul and used it to make a nice hat.

So yeah.
