Bethesda: Fallout 3 Fans Will Definitely Enjoy Skyrim
Fallout 3Think the new Elder Scrolls adventure will be very similar to the last entry, Oblivion?
Well, while there will no doubt be similarities, Skyrim game director Todd Howard told PC Gamer that fans of Fallout 3 will find satisfaction and fulfillment when The Elder Scrolls V drops on November 11.
Howard made multiple comparisons to Fallout 3, saying they've taken a lot of inspiration from Bethesda's previous post-apocalyptic gem. Firstly, like Fallout 3, leveling up won't mean the weaker foes will disappear:
"[Skyrim]’s a lot more like Fallout 3, where as you level up you are going to see harder things, but the easier things stay around as well. You’ll still run into the weaker stuff and you’ll just decimate it."
Howard also confirmed that there won't be many "completely random conversations," as players will have a specific conversation with a specific person. Again, this is reminiscent of Fallout 3. Lastly, he mentioned environmental storytelling, where "you come upon a little scene" when exploring. These are the types of elements commonly found in role-playing games these days, but hardcore RPG fans will tell you there are significant differences between The Elder Scrolls and Fallout.
And it's very interesting to hear that Fallout 3 has played a very large role in the development of Skyrim.

Its not like all the monsters will stay weak, just as you adventure you may run into weaker ones.
And you get to witness small events just running around at certain places ( I assume ) that's pretty nifty. I'm also diggin the fact that there won't be random convo's, I don't want to hear people talking about jensines good as new merchandise or how ulgy mudcrabs are, I wanna hear legitimate convos from one npc to another. I feel it'll give more "life" the the npcs, at the least more of a personality of sorts.
I say, as long as bethesda keeps adding nifty little things like this, the better it'll be. It'll be more enthralling? Developed? I can't think of the word I want right now, so thosell have to work.
One more thing id love to see, is for them to fix the 3rd person view. Right now in oblivion in 1st person the right stick controls the camera ( and also the way your character turns ) which is normal for a 1st person perspective. But for those who want 3rd person, which is me when I'm riding on my horse, let's have the camera be like that of wkc's camera. Meaning in 3rd person I want the left stick to do the walking/running like normal, but I also want it to be able to make my character turn right or left and just leave the right stick in 3rd person to move the camera without turning your character.
Cause right now, in 3rd p. The right sticks makes your character turn and if you use the left stick to go left or right, its like your side stepping.
I prolly could've explained that better, but I'm sure everyone will know what I meaan.
Oh and please forgive the typos, new phone has smaller buttons that I'm not used to. I'm not digging it.
