Why does everything jump into the air and burst into flame when it dies? Like... everything, whether he's hitting it with his sword or shooting arrows at stuff. I'm not familiar with TES universe, is it safe to assume all his weapons are enchanted with 'jump into air and burst into flame' spells?

Oh and seriously, could the minotaurs' heads be any bigger? They look like guys wearing big bulky bull mask.. and then wearing even bigger bull masks on top of those.

The environments are totally amazing, the art direction for the characters and monsters is kind of a turn off though.

Yeah that slow down effect when creatures die looks pretty lame. A little too "matrixy" for my tastes. Oh well.

After watching this video on fileshack, and this video a friend of mine linked me too, I'm now preordering. Holy shit this looks awesome, especially the devilish/demon looking bad guy with the flaming portal behind him.

I've never been a fan of hand to hand or sword fighting in 1st person. It just feel contrived and I always want to aim at the balls of the guys except you can't really aim even though you're in 1st person. So I'd rather be in third person view..
That and the fov looks too tight to me. Can we change this?

Also, can you see your feet?

Not sure if I'm pointing out something really obvious here, but in those two Books of the Mysterium Xarxes, if you read the first letter of each paragraph it spells something.

Book One: spells GREEN EMPEROR

Book Two: spells WAY WHERE

any ideas?

These count down videos are killing me. I went near ebgames today, almost totally positive I was going to put a hold on this. Then I bailed out because I thought between WoW and my other unfinished 360 games I have no time to even think about this game. BUT If they release a video like this every day I'm totally screwed.

Why does each crature seem to be holding the same weapon? All the skeletons have the same skeleton weapon. All the minotaurs have the same minotaur weapon.

And if anybody wants to gripe about people griping about Oblivion, relax. When it finally arrives nobody will have anything to gripe about anymore, so we have to get it all out of our systems now, before then. See?
