Disappointed!, levitation appear to be out - confirmed Options

[Neela]

I don't want this to become a rant thread, but I must admit I am extremely disappointed that levitation has been removed from this installment of the elder scrolls. It has apparently been confirmed by Pete that this is the case, however I couldnt find the exact quote that stated it. I was hoping that it was just further speculation about a misprint in some article. I didn't mind them removing a few weapons or streamlining the skills further. To me that just made this game just a tad different than its predecessors. However, finding that levitation is not going to available... was the first really negative thing to hit me about the game. Most of my characters used levitate from time to time. I never really used it to exploit the game... since alot of combat took place indoors anyway. I am a big explorer at heart and I like to get into places that were hard to find or access. Levitation was necessary for alot of this or just to get out of a rock or tree that I accidently got stuck inside. Anyway.... I am just bummed a bit about it right now. I know I will still get the game and hopefully... *crosses fingers* hopefully.. it is something that can be modded. I still trust Bethesda to make a great game, but for me this was a big shock.

In the opening scene of the first Video, it shows the character picking up and tossing around a ribcage,... if thats how Telekinesis will function,

I don't think that is Telekinesis, since that scene is the beginning of the game, unless you meant that is how it will work from far away. I'm hoping they leave the spell available to use in the TESCS and merely didn't put it in the game.

The player not only will breach the map edges with levitation (although they could put that invisible wall up), but there is also the towns, which I believe someone else mentioned here already. You could levitate right into the low detail versions of the buildings (no NPC's, no clutter, etc.) and have to walk out of the town to get back in it.

You can see over city walls from the outside. There are numerous locations, on high mountain peaks for example, where you can see distant cities and what's inside their walls. There are low-detail versions of all of the buildings inside. The high detail versions of the buildings, along with all the other details -- signs, plants, clutter, crates, and of course NPCs, are only loaded in when you go through a city gate.

Yeah, Telekinesis will just be a ranged version of normal interaction... But with maybe a bit more strength when it comes to tipping a bookcase or something... Maybe... Hopefully...

And yeah, someone will use the Havok to make a flying machine mod or something, or someone may make a "noclip" mod.
