What? Bandits suddenly deciding to move up from the nice and cheap Steel weaponry armour that gets the job done to super expensive Daedric/Glass armour pieces and weaponry because one man has become better at running fast?

Haha, so true!

Will this be DX11?

Seems unlikely.

Not sure if it's been confirmed either way though.

I'm not trolling but is Skyrim likely to have the same console feeling to it as Oblivion and less so, Morrowind?

Well, if not then I'm sure they'll patch it in a some point. Concidering it's like a new big step and all. (unless it'll mark one of the last huge AAA titles that don't support it)

Does the large scale of the game make it harder to implement?
They patched DX11 into Shogun 2 later but that's really just specified to a limited battlefield or menu screen at any one time...

Shogun 2 was going to be a DirectX 11 game from the beginning.

This is the only reason I am waiting at the moment - and to see what the Steam version will offer

jonneymendoza · 8 Jul 2011 at 13:32

dumbing this ****ing game down from what i am hearing.

CaptainRAVE · 8 Jul 2011 at 13:35

Games have been dumbing down for the last decade, it is just something people need to accept now.

Marriage, eugh, when the developers are implementing crap like that you know the game is doomed.

Or they just want to add more features

That's exactly the problem, adding crap instead of improving core gameplay.

Fable 2 - the wife meets another wife - lulz ensue.

I see where this is going...

It's a roleplaying game, why not have that feature :confused:

We should manage our finances and have bickers about the neighbours too.

Well it's not much of a leap from buying houses is it? At least there will be someone in the house now, she can keep it clean
