Damn it. Du stjal tråden før meg :p

 

Du burde jo nesten ha den, så flink på førsteposter som du er :p

 

 

Men ønskene mine om et nytt TES-spill ble oppfylt. Todd Howard tok scenen, viste en kul trailer og avslørte at spillets kontinent ville være Skyrim. Bedre blir det ikke.

 

Jeg ble veldig fornøyd selv, bedre nyheter kunne ikke ha kommet på så kort tid. En liten gameplayvideo iløpet av morgendagen, og dette blir den beste helgen på lenge.

Litt mer detaljer rundt teaeren.

 

Scene 1: a carved stone wall. In the bottom center, a mage/priest figure with a long beard is holding his arms up, in his right is some sort of scepter. To his left is a warrior in heavy armor, to his right is another warrior with what appears to be long hair. The background has many other figures, though the 3 take central importance. Most of the wall is taken up by a colossal, coiled dragon.

VO, black ground: "You should have acted."

 

Scene 2: close up of the left section of sn1, including what was previously off-camera. Shows several dragons spewing fire onto the cliffs while tiny people run away. Cliffs appear to have buildings carved into them, and a large rectangular structure with 4 half-arches (temple?) is also featured. Zoom into this structure.

 

Scene 3: close up of two dragons from previous scene, panning towards top-right. cliff-buildings clearly visible.

VO: "They're already here. The Elder Scrolls told of their return."

 

Scene 4: close up of secondary figures on wall - people running, cowering, looking upwards. Some are on horses. Panning right.

 

Scene 5: Close up of 3 primary figures, panning out an up.

VO: "Their defeat was merely a delay."

 

Scene 6: Another wall detail - helmeted warrior on the left, stylized Oblivion gate on the right. Slow zoom towards the gate.

VO: "Their defeat was merely delay. Til the time after Oblivion opened. "

 

Scene 7: close up of right side of stella. Armored men fighting. The people on the right wear pretty solid armor, slit skirt things, and horned helmets. Those on the left have shorted, full skirts with slits and segmented armor, appearing more Imperial. Area below is segmented (some sort of platform?) and littered with what appear to be bodies. Slashing swords heard in background.

VO: "When the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood. But no-one wanted to believe."

 

Scene 8: Same stone as the stella, but more relief. Slow pan down, revealing claw, wing, and eventually face of dragon, coming alive from within the stone. Dragon opens eye dramatically.

VO: "Believe they even existed.And when the truth finally dawns: It dawns in fire."

 

Scene 9: Dragon comes alive, fully 3D, out of a cliff. Apparently not part of the stella. It stretches and breathes stylized stone 'fire' onto the stella. Little skeletal men are seen burning (think medieval manuscript illustrations of hell). Slow pan to an armored hand.

VO: "But..."

 

Scene 10: Armored leg, pan up.

VO: "There's one they fear."

 

Scene 11: Torso of an armored figure, standing in profile, a sword in his right hand and his left held in a fist in front of his head. He has a long mustache. His armor appears to be Lorical Segmentata, suggesting Imperial origin. It is very similar to the Oblivion Blades armor. The fire wavers in front of him, not touching his person.

VO: "In their tongue, he's [Novakeem/ Novak'leen]" (exact transcription cannot be determined)

 

Scene 12: Zoom in on guy's face.

VO: "Dragon Born!"

 

Scene 13: Skyrim logo, on black. The traditional TES theme (head in both MW and OB) plays in the background, this time with a male chanting choir.

 

 

Who are "they?"

Most obviously, dragons. However, this is not exactly a satisfactory explanation. The Tamrielic dragons, like Nafalilaargus in Redguard, were not defeated and nothing in lore suggests that they would be coming back in a dramatic, dangerous fashion. We also have no historical record of them ever terrorizing Tamriel. If they really are just strait up dragons, it could be a retcon or a gap in our lore knowledge. Other possibilities include the more metaphorical:

 

Tsaesci/Akaviri - they have been defeated in the past, and their coming back would be dangerous and dramatic. Dragons are also said to originate from Akavir. However, Akavir is not exactly near Skyrim. I am also unsure as to why the Akaviri (well acquainted with Dragons, Immortal Vampire Snakemen, and God-Tiger-Dragons) would be afraid of the Dragonborn. Their existence is not exactly disputed, either.

 

Akatosh - the Dragon Lord of Time, and Nordic Alduin, that is "World Eater." He is the destroyer of worlds, and perhaps the Nord's biggest 'enemy' (as much as a Shiva-like god can be an enemy). "They" being multiple makes this less plausible, though it could refer to his multitude of underlings (including the Jills, or time-mending lady dragons). I doubt that the Nords don't believe he existed.

 

The Empire - dragons are their symbol, and they were defeated, and are set to come back. The sheer amount of gravitas granted to this event makes this an unlikely explanation. Again, their existence is not disputed. However, the nature of their divine right to rule (their dragon status) probably is.

 

It could of course be some sort of combination of these, like an Akaviri Emperor who is mantling Talos. Or It could be someone we've never heard of before.

 

Who is the Dragon Born?

"Dragon Born" is used to refer to the Cyrodil Emperors, due to their being 'born' from the Alessian covenant with Akatosh. While the Septim empire has fallen, we know that at least one (that of Titus Mede) has taken its place since. The Imperial armor on the man makes Imperial origin almost certain. Dragons are also associated with Akavir and with time, so "Dragon Born" could could be Akaviri or an avatar/embodiment/child of Akatosh (like a Shezarine, but with Akatosh).

 

Tiber Septim (anon Talos, anon Ysmir) is the emperor most often associated with the dragon sigil. He is also the patron of empire and conquest.

 

His being shown strongly suggests that the player will once again take a supporting role in TESV, since the hero (the Dragon Born) is established as male and mustachio'd.

Det kan forøvrig være for å oppdatere siden med nytt layout og masse fancy logoer, tør ikke håpe på gameplay enda. Men det hadde vært fantastisk gøy med en liten presentasjon hvor vi får se/høre om noen "main features", og om vi får en kikk på spillmotoren (som jeg regner med at de har oppdatert).

Utrolig hvor kunskapsrike og observante mange i TES miljøet er. Sier noe om hvor bra fans spillet har og hvor dypt og rikt Tamriel universet er.

Endelig! Ser fram til gameplay og slikt. Lurer på hvilken spillmotor som brukes - håper ikke det er Gamebryo (med mindre den er kraftig modifisert og forbedret fra Oblivion).

 

Jeg er egentlig ikke bekymret over location. Jeg regner med at Bethesda klarer å gjøre noe bra ut av det uansett.

Ser ut som at Skyrim ikke er fullt så stort som Cyrodiil. Det jeg er litt redd for er at det kan bli litt lite variasjon i terrenget. Det blir vel for det meste fjell og snø?

Du ser på det kartet at Morrowind (rettere sagt Vvardenfell, den øyen man spiller på) er enda mindre enn Skyrim igjen, og jeg følte på ingen måte at Morrowind var for lite.
