Too great.

Took me 15 mins to get it altogether. Oh well.

Anyways, what I really missed, was a glimpse of the non-man/mer races. It would indeed be very nice to see a Khajiit and an Argonian..

Too bad all that was WIP, I would have loved to see things as they are now..

if you mean the one on ign then yes i did. sadly its been taken out since it was illegal.

I'm not sure I understand the sad part there though.

i thot it was absolutely amazing
but soem of the animations were a littel quirky(especially the dog)
also the fight with the dremora in front of the portal seemed way to easy

and yes i almost cried

all of those fights were easy - but remember, every enemys health was set to nearly zero since this was for demonstration purposes only.

... and the HP / Mana / Fatigue of the main char were invulnerable

I just saw it, it's great, the dungeons, forests, towns.. everything it's amazing! Loved the trap triggering and how that zombie fell off the ledge when the char did the swing from the right direction on him. Also when the lich hit the wall from the final impact of the sword.. I can't wait for the release!

I'm about to see it this afternoon. It should be quite the treat.

Is it the trailer thing?? coz if it i seen it it was like 800mb

I just watched it. The trap man, I loved that trap.

A reminder.

This forums is not a help desk for those that have illegally downloaded the movie and are unable to play it. you shouldn't have it in the first place.

on animations: that is one thing that they tweak up until the launch day. so something that was done 5 months age has surely been tweaked.

is it just me or does the video not contain any sound?

its just you. oh and some other people couldnt get sound.... sry.

Found the problem now - the Audio-Directory inside the iso-file is empty!! well, I have to live without sound then...
So, about the video:

I think it looked great, the scenes in the dungeon and in the forest made me drool! Animation is probably still being tweaked, that's the only thing I didn't really like

The traps though, the skeletons right before they were hit... you saw that in the trailer but it looked so much better when you saw them walk up and everything. That gas chamber looked awesome too. I can imagine many a newbie not knowing how to escape. It seems like oblivion will require you to pay closer attention to your surroundings.

A friend of mine who I've put on to Oblivion recently casually mentioned that he'd seen the demo last night at roleplaying. I almost had a hernia... "What!?! You've seen the demo?!?"

Downloaded it overnight. Watched it on the train to work. I probably scared the other commuters with my insane grin and mutterings to myself... "ah, the famous bookshop!"

One thing that hasn't been mentioned in this thread... the eternal question of the skill list is answered in full in the video (assuming it hasn't changed since the video was made). When Todd does some stuff in the interface when demonstrating the stealth sub-game, he obligingly hovers his mouse pointer over each stat, and the pop-out info box lists the three skills associated with that stat.

Or has this list been announced/inferred already? If so, no point in repeating it here.

Aaaaggghhh.... I'm going insane..... I still have yet to watch it... and it's chipping away at my sanity....

A little OT, for which I apologize in advance.



If you're referring to the AUDIO_TS directory present on every DVD, that is almost always empty, except if it's an audio DVD. This is not where the sound for the movie(s) is stored. Rather, the audio is contained in the .VOB files which contain multiplexed streams. If you can't hear anything, it's not because the sound isn't there. It must be a problem with your setup.

People are tossing around ISOs of the DVD? Man, how large is that?

The .avi someone obligingly encoded (presumably from the DVD ISOs) was 120 Meg, and that's enough for me.

Hmm, something back on topic... so, what's the story with this movie? I gather it hasn't been officially release by Bethesda, but it's pretty professional, with Todd doing voiceover and starting and finishing with the Bethesda logos and all. It's also clearly been captured directly from the gameplay, not sneakily videoed from the E3 demo. So, how did it come to be, does anyone know?

Like it always comes with leaks - the wrong person was entrusted with a pre-release version.
