I have no idea why anyone wouldn't buy Skyrim for PC and not console.

I will happily triple dip if they remaster it for Xbone, doesn't appear to be anything in the rumour mill though.

I think (pray) we will see something of Fallout 4 at E3, even if release isn't for another 18 months after that.

A Skyrim remaster is just the thing I'm after too, but as you say, there's nary a whisper of such a thing in the pipeline. A shame. Don't really want to have to buy one of those Steam boxes to play a shiny Skyrim.

As for Fallout 4, I was anticipating an announcement at the recent Game Awards. Bethesda must have something of it to show at E3, they have to. Although there have been a few cheeky rumours that they're working on The Elder Scrolls VI, and I have to confess that that would would be the best possible thing ever. And who could blame Bethesda if they did ignore Fallout for the time being? Skyrim was a sales smash with something in the region of 20 million games sold.

Shit, that's not how lurking's meant to work.

I'm just being facetious.

There's no way in hell there's ever going to be an official remaster. If nothing else, the number of assets involved makes it unlikely to ever be worth Bethesda's time.

I've been running it on PC with max settings and 360 and can barely tell the difference anyway.

You really owe it yourself to give Morrowind another go someday.  Either mod it with a hefty PC or jump on it with the Oldbox (which is what I did back in the day)

I mean that game's artwork really knocked Skyrim into a cocked hat.

I remember someone on the dev team saying they prefer more typical looking fantasy if only because it's much easier to design. I imagine Shivering Isles gave them some headaches.

Book looks ace. Wish they did something similar for things like MGS.

I would love more games to have better making of stuff. Films too. Making ofs are unfortunately normally quite dull and don't dig deep.

Book looks great, if I had seen it mid Skyrim fever I would have picked it up.

Might have a look at the Broken Age one, not that I have played the game. Making Ofs might make a good thread actually.

Sorry to pull this thread back from the dead, but I had a thought / question:

Do you think the next Elder Scrolls game will have 'Skyrim' in the title?

After the numbers it sold I'd imagine there'd be a lot of marketing pressure to make sure it's very clear the next game is essentially the 'next Skyrim' - but traditionally they've never done this - I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's 'Skyrim 2' or 'Skyrim: Insert Word Here'

With any luck it'll have Elsweyr in the title.

Despite cats being big on the Internet,  I don't think we'll be off to the 'land of the Cat People ' anytime soon. Even if the desert setting would be a perfect foil to Skyrim.  Bethesda's marketing execs would have a fit.

I could go for another jaunt around a harsh snowy environment. Only proper harsh and snowy. Not like the half arsed stab they made with Skyrim that got fixed with the mods. 

BRRRRR!

Bethesda forum know-it-alls were saying as much to me a few years ago.  No beast nations because marketing says the won't be popular with the masses.  I say that's horse shit, personally.

Wood elves are from Valenwood, I think, which is predominantly forested and the cities are built into the branches of vast trees...which move around.

I'd rather they invested time in the social and economic systems, combat is leagues ahead of those at the moment.
