Epic Skyrim trailer dissection Options

[RagingMudcrab]

That's right friend of my mother, the first gameplay trailer for Skyrim is out, and holy compassion is it amazing. Harry Partridge levels of excitement are totally natural. I mean, this trailer is great. And who else but me is going to go frame-by-frame and cut this umbrella seller open? Let's kick it.




Wow. The new engine looks awesome. I mean, we'd seen the great graphics before in the Game Informer screens, but in action it looks jaw dropping. And this is just some landscape. We get a lot more all throughout this trailer.



Looks like here is that sprinting mechanic in action. The Duvahkiin has to make good time.



This image gives us a look at the effects of spells on the landscape around you. It also shows the Dragonborn being really intense. I'd like a wallpaper of that.



Thuum time baby!



UH, take that shout punka** dragon!



The scale of this game is really huge. Compare those buildings to those people. That's big, and apparently most cities in Skyrim are like that. Those buildings are the size of the Imperial City's! Awesome.



HORSES CONFIRMED, HORSE ARMOR PACK DLC IS TOTALLY ON THE WAY, OMFG SO HAPPY!



Some people are claiming that this is a ship. While we all know that the Nords are a great seafaring race, I'm pretty sure that thing in the hazy sea is just a reflection of the buildings on the above cliff in the water. I really hope there are ships though. Holy compassion, I want to be a captain.



Giants are going to be fun to fight. These dudes are big. Their footfalls shake the ground. I wonder if they'll fight like Super Mutant Behemoths from Fallout.



Hunting is one of the best parts of Oblivion. It feels like you're actually in the world, just living. Great for immersion. Stuff like that is what makes The Elder Scrolls my favorite RPG.

Oh and a tip: when posting alot of pictures in a thread. Link them rather than inserting them in your posts. Makes the page load quicker and look smaller

I was considering doing that, which I actually did do in this article, but it was really late and I was too tired to go back and change the code. I'll probably do it next time though, especially now that I know that this site has a limit to how many pictures you can have in a post, making me post multiple times. And I'm ardently against double-posting.

I'm seriously confused as to how My Little Pony has infected almost all of the internet. I mean, I've heard it's got good writing, but WTF!? MLP is everywhere these days. Good mash-up though. Surprisingly well edited.
