Bethesda: Making your characters moonwalk when they strafe sideways since 2005.

Have they fixed that yet?

Why would they have to fix it?

Have you ever tried strafing in 3rd person while you run forward in Oblivion / Fallout 3 / Fallout NW?

[Penguin FTW]

Those games aren't mean to be played in 3rd person, I'm not entirely sure why that option exists

Pfft, Bethesda. Yet another inflated, boring world with stiff npcs, tons of walking, boring discoveries, 0 feeling, 0 immersion, 0 stuff to look forward to, heavily corrupted by retarded consolism BUT awesome graphics.

Meh, I'll buy it if I got nothing else to play at that time.

because some people prefer third person, some prefer first and by offering a choice then the game appeals to fans of both?
personally I much prefer third person and only switch to first if I need to get a closer look at something

The Skyrim 3rd person seems legit, I withdraw my previous statement

And on that note, the skyrim demo bit they previewed looks amaaaazing

After seeing the new gameplay video its a second 1 purchase. Getting at midnight!

Right now I'm torn between 360 and PC

360:
Gorgeous HD TV to play on
I prefer the controller, triggers and all that

PC:
more content

I usually prefer the console versions, il get the PC version for modding later on when the price goes down. Because you know some service like Steam will offer a huge discount at some point

[Penguin FTW]

That's a good point, I'll prolly do that

Lmao.
Go to jail.
Pay the fine.
Resist arrest.

Connect your computer to your TV and use your 360 controller on the PC

Good to see they did fix the awkward third person running and movement.

[Penguin FTW]

Nah that's not an option for me

You guys... Someone on the internet admited that they were wrong. GET THIS MAN A CROWN!

I played both Morrowind and Oblivion...but could never make it through the whole games. Not sure I can quite put my finger on what's wrong with them. Oblivion had the issue of being far, far too repetitive though. And the mobs leveling up with you really turned me off. I fought them off when I was low level, why am I being bothered with them again? It's analogous to continually being dazed by random mobs when all you want to do is ride by.

For Skyrim it will depend on what else I have to play at the time. If there is nothing else then I'll buy it to occupy me when WoW is boring me to death. If there IS something else then I'll probably wait til it's packaged with some expansions. That way there will be more content, the major bugs and balancing will be out of the way, and maybe on sale.

I don't think I ever finished Morrowind, but the game world was just so amazing

I prefer this trailer -

Minus all the funny nasally commentary, he can really sing well.

Very well indeed

Never played Morrowing or prior games, but I HATED Oblivion. Details were nice, but movement, combat, and overall gameplay were pretty dreadful I thought.

BUT! I have hope for Skyrim if I play it on PC. Since I only got to pay Oblivion on Xbox.
