OXM gets the scoop on Skyrim

17 September 2011

It’s nice to know that when Bethesda isn’t filing petty lawsuits, they still have time to focus on the important things, like giving us juicy details of their highly anticipated 5th installment in the Elder Scrolls franchise.

A ton of these details have been packed into the latest issue of OXM, or Xbox Live Magazine. Aside from the comprehensive article, the magazine also features some yet to be seen images of the game.

Here’s a summary of some of the more intriguing details, courtesy of Gamingeverything.com:

When the author was fighting a group of 3 bandits after defeating the first 2 the third tried to run away.

Necromancers can resurrect chickens and harvest their eggs.

He also states that while fighting a necromancer “he summons a khajiit warrior.” He does not say whether he is resurrecting this warrior or if he actually conjured him?

When you level up you get 10 points to add to health, magicka, or stamina.

Stolen horses run away.

Spriggans can heal themselves after you think they are dead (fetal position).

A town guard stops the player at a gate of a town and makes him pay for the horse he stole earlier.

Bandits roll a boulder at the player from a bridge.

It all sounds great, and certainly shows an exciting amount of attention to detail. Looks like Skyrim may be every bit as good as we all expect it to be.
