i don't beleive the story.

he didnt' remeber the devs name.

all the info he stated could have been taken from released vids or interviews.

he said he hadn't played morrowind and then said "birthsigns are in AGAIN." like he new they were in before.  And he said "the game feels like it has been more streamlined."  more streamlined than what, if he hasnt played morrowind than what was oblivion more streamlined of.

how come everyone who gets to play has never played TES before?

I mean you'd think they would pick some fans of the series and not total strangers to it... its synonymous with getting someone who lived in the 1800's to review the movie Star Wars for a bunch of Star Wars fans...

The devs have said "hundreds".

Believe it :)

Tell me I'm not the only one who has a very hard time believing this whole thing? I've written about this before, and still feel the same way.

The best evidence if you don't feel the same way i do is to just read the post.

For one, their is absolutely nothing new. Not one thing that any one of us couldn't have either gotten from an official site or just made up.

Other things are way more suspect, such as the facial system having about 100 sliders? Are you kidding me? Tiger Woods gold had a super facial system and it only had 20-30 sliders at most.

What I'd like to know most of all is why no information about the outdoors? I've read a few posts now from people claiming they were at this miracle session and none of them could provide any information about the outdoor areas. Why do you think that is? He says he had two hours with the game. That's a LONG TIME TO SPEND WITHOUT GETTING OUTDOORS. I think most of you will agree the first dungeon won't take that long. So why this discrepancy?

It's also suspicious that a Elder Scrolls new commer would remember so much about the different races in the game, but forget the name of the dev who he says he talked with. Also, he says "birth signs are here again" How would know again if you've never played an elder scrolls game before?
I'm not trying to be a downer, but this is just too strange to be true. You be the judge. IMO, at best he's telling the truth, in which case he hasn't let us know anything new (facial shaders), and at worse it's a great prank.
ps, no disrespect, but surly their must be some kind of better proof you can give us? Plain ticket stub? Pictures? You must have taken some...What did the Dev look like? Just give me something to say "ahh, I stand corrected" You don't have to, but why not?

That's your choice. The rest of us are free to believe or disbelieve the story.

Believe that once again we have another piece of information publicly available? That was my whole point, nothing new.

Look, I'm not trying to rain down here, but for cryin' out loud, take a look at your email bulk folder. This wouldn't be the first time someone's pulled a stunt like this.

When people start making claims like "their are no spears, I know that for sure, I was their", and wrap it around some miracle story about being whisked away to NYC for some dream vacation...Like i said at first, am I the only one who finds this suspect????

OMFG!! NO SPEARS!?!?! I'M NOT BUYING IT!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Yeah but if it's too difficult, that could be really frusturating ... I hate it when you absolutely can't get past part of any game just because they make it too hard.

Why would the devs remove a large portion of the weapons just because they wheren't "popular"? Their entire line of thinking is seriously ****ed up. Spears and all the other pole weapons they most likely removed are important for role playing games. It adds more variety to the weapons and allows you to role play more characters. You can all call removing a ton of weapons and marging a lot of important skills "balancing" or "an improvment", or whatever you want to say to defend the devs, but I call it dumbing down. I'm really disappointed in Bethesda. I'll probably still buy it, but no feature they added makes up for the stuff they messed up. I'd take the weapons and old skills over havok and improved graphics any day. The combat system doesn't sound all that much better either. You can manually block now and it has more cosmetic sword animations. Big freaking deal. Thats not "building a new system from the ground up" like they said they did. They might as well take the beast races out as well, because theres little point to them when the weapons that go with them are removed. And whats this crap about not being able to have facial hair and beards? What the hell?

Only thing i found suspect, was the no instant kill stealth.
