Bethesda Softworks is no stranger to the Spike Video Game Awards, having won “Game of the Year” with Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion four years ago. How fitting is it then that they use this year’s awards ceremony to debut their next game.
Bethesda Producer Todd Howard took to the stage moments ago, preceded by a group of monks chanting, and officially announced what the world has been waiting for with the world premiere trailer of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Game Trailers has the exclusive trailer that was just revealed for the highly anticipated fifth installment to the Elder Scrolls (i.e. the best RPG) franchise. The best part of the trailer and unveiling is that with it comes the official release date of 11.11.11. Less than a year away!
What will the Skyrim do the raise the bar like Oblivion did over Morrowind. Is multiplayer a possibility? Dragons are. Will they bring back the crossbow and levitation spells of Morrowind?
So much to think about. What do you want to be able to do in Skyrim?
Skyrim takes players back to Tamriel in November 11, 2011. Check out all of the new trailers and more from the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards and follow us on Twitter @GameRant.

am i the only one who knows that we are going back to morrowind?
Skyrim invaded morrowind a second time after the oblivion crisis according to the book (i forget it’s name) that was made by a developer if im not mistaken! also; i dont want multi player, unless it is arena styled, and i REALLY dont want to fight a dragon(s?) that would ruin it!
although i wished this game would take place in elswhere, Skyrim was my third choce (Akavir being second) so it’s all good as long as im not forced to the home of the wood elves.
but dude…. Dragons… they’re so F@cking epic.. dragons.. *drool*
Elsweyr*
And i highly doubt it will take place in morrowind, as both morrowind and skyrim are gigantic and it would of been a pain to hand develop 2 different provinces with such varying enviroments, i mean even though their right next to eachother morrowind and skyrim are 2 very different places. What im hoping for (and i know im one of the minority that wants this) but i want it too be on the same engine as oblivion so for modders porting over Cyrodill and the fantastic mods of Elsweyr, Valenwood and Hammerfell to the new game. There for the modding community with bethesda will have most of the landmass of tamriel finished.
Skyrim wouldn’t've ben made to be without any other elder scrolls game, i myself think that Morrowwind, Oblivion, etc., have their own way of telling the story in different segments. it all started from the elder scrolls- arena, by the makers adding dragons into the picture of skyrim just boosts the gameplay along with the beautiful and very crisp graphics. they’ve added alot to this one to make us gamers thrilled that finally we actually get to face off dragons, the only dragon you see in any of the elder scrolls games was in Oblivion, and that’s when you complete the story-line, we should be happy with what comes into play, i think Bethesda wanted to make this one a challenge by adding dragons in the mix to anyone who plays the elder scrolls. when i first played the elder scrolls was when i first played Morrowind, i thought at first that there is no other game that allows you basically do w/e you want, then comes Oblivion which boosted my confidence cause in Morrowind you were only allowed to travel so far, Oblivion allowed you to take a bigger step further towards more landscape. i dont kno much about Skyrim, only what i’ve red. i hope everyone is thrilled about Skyrim as much as me, i cant wait to see what Bethesda has to offer for this one…peace
We need to verse dragons but i only hope its as good as the previouse elder scrolls and that its 1st person
Who ever posted any coment about this game not being good is a fool you wouldnt know cool if it raped you.This will be the coolest game to ever hit the shelves even the guy tha plays dumbole dore hes the narrator of the tailer!!!
I think I’ve just c#m in my pants. Frikkin love Elder Scrolls. Played Oblivion for over 350 hours.
i think that tey should do some cool ting with the dark brotherhood and the morag tong as skyrim are not on best terms with morrowind and the marog tong really dont like the brotherhood! we all know that the brotherhood are the best thing about oblivion.
and one other thing, NO LEVELLING MONSTERS!!
Oh dear god, been waiting on this forever!!! I can’t wait!.
I just came.
My guess is they’ll have to bring levitation back. The terrain of Skyrim is notoriously mountainous and difficult to travel through. It seems only logical that they would have levitation in such an environment as that, where much of the map is impassibly steep rock faces.
that never stopped me when playing Morrowind or Oblivion, i didnt stop playing until every inch of the map was scaled by foot… even mountains. in fallout 3 and New Vegas, it didnt matter if anything was steep, i still got to the top of any mountain, find the steepest mountain you can find and i’ll get to the top in no time, hasn’t stopped me before and fer-sure wont stop me when i get a copy of Skyrim
or they could jsut give u the ability to climb rock facews which would be awesome you know xclimbing upthere fighting a dragon and watching the loser drop a 100 feet or somthing…..hehehehe that dragons gonna drop like a stone
Do you think we will have to be a nord? I kinda liked being a dark elf in the last two elder scrolls. It would really suck if they confine us to only being a nord.
true but your not just any nord you are DRAGONBORNE with the abliitie to suck the souls out of dragons and cut the faces off of the mightiest ork and watch as even the biggest of creatures with iron will , quiver and shake with fear at the meer mention of your name sounds cool doesnt it? but still dont worry somone somwhere in the world will get annoyed create a mod and then boom they create a race choice mod or they wont who cares just aslong as your a badass does it really matter what you look like? i mean dark elves are just short humans but with a paler skin colour i dont get the fuss about it but hey they need to make the game fun for all there fans dont they? and if they really cared they would look up forums and comments to see what they could or could not put in the game
DECAPITATIONS and DISMEMBERMENTS would be awesome! also maybe a fresher combat system w counters and combos to freshen the “stiff” combat system that has been used in the past? would also like to see more guilds and factions if possible…dont really like the fact that every character ill meet will pretty much be a NORD but hey whatever i can cope.just give me all the things that made oblivion great!!! and the above of course…
I’d definitely like to see a less stiff combat system. I’d also like the ability to become a werewolf like in Daggerfall.. you know, seeing as vampires completely sucked in Oblivion.
Its all turning into a f’n WOW clone:
- Dragon Age 2
- Guild Wars 2
- Dungeon Siege 3
- Elderscrolls 5
-___________- everyone needs to stop effing saying that haha. elderscrolls and dungeonsiege namely, all came out wayyyyy before wow. not to mention elderscrolls V is nothing at all like wow. especially in gameplay cuz you dont just click on something from a birds eye view to kill it or interact with it. theyre really nothin alike at all dude. haha and btw am i the only one here whose played elder scrolls all the way back to the first??? just wonderin
I’ve played Arena and Daggerfall on DOSBox
I would think, and there are hundreds, maybe thousands who agree with me, that they need MORE VOICES!!!! they have like what? 2 male, 2 female? we need like INDIVIDUAL voices, or at least a lot more so that we cant tell.
Yeah new voices defnitly. But it should really have a better combat system, like combos,counters and I think lots agrre with me that it needs A LOT tougher bosses. And more spells
:)
While I can not wait for this my self it’ is goingto be 100% mental withthe introduction of dragons maybe a levitation spell is not needed maybe there is at some point a way to ride one but unlike Divinity II: Ego Draconis when you eventualyget the dragon ability they 100% killed it it was either person and ground fighting or dragon an air combat combine them so you can do them both at once Divinity II: Ego Draconis kiled it because i was looking forward to unleahing hell on towns and farms burning everything an laughing while people flee in flames screaming as they go and they can easily introduce it by making it a comjuration spell so only for a limited time but make it one to work for so it is a top end conjuration not a get it right away..
There you go stupid jumping bits sorted levitation spell removed and an amazing replacement
Oh and i agree with the warewolf thing i never actualy survived the encounter with them which bugged me lol and also agree if vampierisem is reintroduced do more with it you could have amazing clan wars online that way mages fighters warewolves dragons vampiers im getting sexual excited here..
sorry about typos befor
good post Mike up above
I think IF they bring back vampirism they should let you feed on people who are awake,while in combat or dead. They should bring the clans back and alow to turn certain people into vampires(even if it doesn’t always work or they just kill themselves)if not turned they should die. I mean lets be honest the whole you bite them while their sleeping and they don’t notice when the wake was terrible. They should do it right or not at all.
Guys look u dont have to fight the dragons you have the choice to engage in combat simply point your bow upwards get ready to fire then pelt a dragon as it flys by then you will enter combat plus why are u guys whining about fighting dragons?? that would be so cool the whole point of the story line of skyrim is the revival of an old and powerful enemy of humans…. dragons and then theres you dragonborne who was feared by dragons but when you kill a dragon u get a reward not only the proof that you have made a powerful charactor but you take there soul giving you more power (no seriously thats in the game!!!) this unlocks more shouts and 2 things i think they should keep and 1 thing they should add they should keep the dark brotherhood (which they are going to keep since the producers love that story line) vampirism aswell but they should add lycanthropy when you lose 75% of your health and its a full moon you should transform into one also keep detect spell (where u see peoples heat signatures) those are the only things i wanted to say cheers to anyone or any producer or director who reads this and considers it
also add multiplayer (entering other peoples worlds) and make a Help tab like where you help players do a certain goal and then they give you money for it or you can just do it for fun or for the xp and the thrill of it on multiplayer like “help me slay a dragon and ill give you so and so for helping me” or “HELP i cant kill that dude on the so and so quest” or simply “come to my world so we can kill everyone in the so and so town and ill give you somthing” and make it so you can travel away from each other but you can talk to each other using mics or you can talk using keyboard so you dont have to be with them ALL the time if you want and theres is a forked path in a cave you can split up this would make the game more fun as when your with somone else it gives the game that “we just took somthing down i couldnt on my own cheers man we totally destroyed that guy” also make try and get it to be a 16 in the uk
I really hope for multiplayer it would add a whole new dynamic to gameplay imagine the many different tactics you could use with magic ranged weapons and a partner to take down a powerful dragon.
I want to have pets.
I want more destruction, more graphic eating, to be able to say more, cheaper houses, to be able to select more in the furniture you get (ex. color of bed comforter), and maybe ore exploration. Same stuff should still apply (no sex, minimal alchohol, and no nudity)
dude you need some nudity. only girls though.
How about a scalability option? That way, if a user enters their birthday and they are under 18, the game would scale out sex, use undergarments when stripped, lessen bad language, etc. Then you could have a parental control that could lessen a variety of issues.
Honestly, in Oblivion, there is a handful of bad language that keeps the game in the mature category, and it is so minimal that Bethesda could have included a scalability option so if you wanted to allow younger players, you could have that dialog simply not appear. My opinion.
hi theres one major thing that i think skyrim should have. pets/compainons i loved playing fallout 3/fallout new vegas and got to have someone die for me if it gets a lil rough or someone you can just ask for help to own a dragon. another thing is i would like a spell to conjuer at least a summon size of 4 summonings to mess stuff up if you got that lil bit of magic and in a tough fight agianst a dragon/(ect.) and want someone or thing to back you up i did like the summoning in oblivon but one thing that botherd me was that a couldnt make more than 1.my last thing is that we should have better mounts than just a horse i some suggestions are horse grphyon/ dragon or a wolf those are just some i have in my head right now but that is the most important things i think that might be tweeked with thank you and you can reach me at huntersturges@yahoo.com
