  • This is an excerpt from Todd Howard's 40-minute talk at DICE 2012 about Bethesda's development process and miscellaneous Skyrim trivia.
    I found the whole thing quite interesting - you can watch it here on Gamespot's channel:
    • (Skyrim) Todd Howard D...
    Anyway, this video just shows a few minutes from the middle - the aftermath of the "Game Jam". Awesome stuff!
    Of course, since then we've already received a lot of these features through patches - ranged/magic killcams and underwater effects, for example. Dawnguard also adds flying vampire lords, perk trees for vampirism and lycanthropy, and crossbows (among other things).
    Note that the features shown in this video were developed AFTER Skyrim's release, so you can't claim they "left them out" because of greediness or anything.
    UPDATE: I thought I might as well link to features added in by modders (that aren't already added through DLC or patches), so here we go: (if you know any other great mods that do these things then feel free to post me a link)
    KEY: () - unimplemented; (x) - implemented by Bethesda in patches or DLC; (m) - implemented by modders
    • () Seasonal foliage
    • (m) Flow based water shader - the "WATER" mod is probably the best for this (skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13268) - it includes a "get wet" effect and wet rocks as well as rivers flowing in the correct directions
    • () Spears as weapons with a new animation system
    • (x) Kill cams for ranged combat and magic - added by patches
    • (m) New stealth options like water arrows and assassinations - water arrows: skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22234
    • () Guards relight areas
    • (m) Paralysis runes - included with Midas Magic: skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3413
    • () Moving platforms and hanging structures in dungeons - there are moving structures in Apocrypha in Dragonborn DLC
    • (x) Water currents in dungeons - included with Dawnguard
    • (m) Dark dungeons - sooo many of these - try "Realistic Lighting" or an ENB profile; though you might have difficulty getting dark dungeons without getting pitch-black nights as well
    • () New companion options
    • (x) Build your own home from scratch - included with Hearthfire
    • (x) Adopt children - included with Hearthfire
    • () Skeletal butler - Dremora Butler with Dragonborn DLC
    • (m) Combine magic to create new attacks - well... I recommend the awesome Apocalypse Spell Package , which provides so many unique and interesting spells you're bound to find some epic combos: skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16225
    • (x) Goblin enemies - with Dragonborn DLC (Rieklings)
    • (x) 'Way Gate' fast travel - included with Dawnguard
    • (x) Epic mounts like a flaming horse - (arguably) included with Dawnguard
    • (x) Mounted combat on horses - added by patches
    • (x) Dragon mounts - with Dragonborn DLC
    • () 'Soul bug' familiar
    • (x) Kinect-enabled 'shouts' - added by patches, or by mods for PC (I recommend skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5626/ with skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/32821/)
    • (x) Screen space ambient occlusion - available through Nvidia graphics profiles
    • (x) Enhanced underwater visuals - added by patches
    • (m) Footprints in the snow - The only footprints mod you'll ever need: skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22745/
    • () Verlet surfaces for non-rigid objects
    • (m) Ice and fire arrows - could try Arrows of Magicka: skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/9799
    • (x) Werebears! - with Dragonborn DLC
    • (x) Lycanthropy-specific (werewolf) skill tree - included with Dawnguard
    • (x) Become a flying Vampire Lord - included with Dawnguard
    • () New Vampire imp minions
    • () Mudcrab animation tweaks
    • () Giant Mudcrab enemy - one day...
    Cheers to Joystiq for the original feature list.

      Stop lying alchestbrooch, the seasonal foliage was never released.
      The reason why seasonal foliage isn't a mod, and never will be a mod, is because we don't have the fucking skyrim source code. Bethesda's modding tools are a joke.

      Greendragon H I think I remember todd howard saying something like "all these people want variety and more skills I just want to see what skills can be mixed together"(no one I know agrees with this) spears not being one-handed or two handed weapons would have to have theyre own skill so I guess they didn't want that.

    • @zerogbot23
      @zerogbot23 9 лет назад +105

      ***** I hate the fact that the weapon skills have been mashed up together. If you have training with a one-handed sword it doesn't mean you can pick up a mace and be like ''WOW it's just like swinging a sword but slower''. In real life if you were a swordsman you wouldn't have a clue how to use a mace. That's why i liked Morrowinds skills.

    I think the idea of "dark dungeons" was that in addition to the regular dungeons, you'd have some really dark ones specifically designed to be explored with spells/torches, allowing for some unique puzzles and situations. Unlike ENB profiles that just make all existing dungeons darker.

      Well actually, they kind of did. A lot was left out due to time restrictions. The PC market doesn't really do these kind of things, unless it's a console port mostly because it doesn't matter. With Steam they can force an update on you the next day, if there's a problem. Dark dungeons is also a nod to casual gamers, who don't want to carry a torch or use a spell which made both the spell and the torch useless. Not to mention night eye. It's obvious they assumed that darkness was going to be a thing, then added more ambient light at some point.

    Omg, that combination magic idea would have been very lit and would have fitted very well in both the game system and the lore.

It would also justify using a whole lot more spells.

      Dude daggerfall was fucking horse shit. And have you played Morrowind? The combat system is horrible and as soon as you hit higher levels you just one shot thing. Morrowind combat is more casual than Skyrim its legit a dice roll lol. And Oblivion puzzles and dungeouns were pretty bad honestly. They only had 1 guy working on it, Skyrim's were much better, but Morrowinds dwemer ones were really good. Skyrim fails in alot of things, and so does TES 3 and 4, but they all excel at so many things, and no one is better than the other, because Morrowind really is a niche game, Oblivion was their first really big game, considering Morrowind wasnt on the PS1, and Skyrim does have the biggest modding community ever, which is why if someone asks me which TES is the best, I say Skyrim.

    Or at the very least have the Werewolf's fur be the same-ish color as your character's haircolor.

  • @NINgameTENmasterDO
    @NINgameTENmasterDO Год назад +21

    As an avid Skyrim modder (9+ years now), this video is very, very interesting. It's intriguing to see what got into the game and was never made it, like the adoption system and building houses in Hearthfire, and the shrine teleportation in Dawnguard.
    So many of these features eventually did make it to the game through modding. I think the biggest one, to me, is environmental changes from seasons. This one is crazy. It's amazing to think that one developer (or a small team) thought about adding seasons to Skyrim like many players did and actually managed to implement it (in a way) within one week. It's unclear how robust the feature was from the small clip in the video, but it took modders 11 years after release to implement something similar that worked effectively. That's insane.
    I think the one feature I would want them to add into the game is what they shown at 3:37. "Verlet surfaces for non-ridged objects". That sounds neat, and the way they show the banner reacting to the player colliding with it is cool, but then they show the giant MOVING TREE BRANCHES BY WALKING INTO THEM. That doesn't sound impressive, but to me this is one of the biggest things they could have done to improve immersion and environment. Why? Well, there's a mod call Grass Collisions that makes grass react to the player and NPCs standing on in and moving through it. Otherwise, actors just clip through the grass, and it looks awful. Like the seasons mod, it took years for one modder to implement this feature into Skyrim, something that's taken for granted in more modern open-world games like Breath of the Wild and Red Dead Redemption 2. But Grass Collisions adds so much to the game for something so simple.
    The only issue with it, really, is that it makes you wish everything in Skyrim's environment reacted that way. Like, if you bump into a bush it doesn't react like grass in Grass Collisions. But what if it did? The clip from 3:37 implies that developers toyed with the idea of tree collisions at some point, meaning that bush collisions is actually possible as well. The biggest thing is that these collisions imply it can all be done in-engine. Grass Collisions can only be installed as a mod if you also install this modding-tool/mod called ENB. There is a prerequisite to Grass Collisions. With tree collisions, however, it doesn't look like there's a requirement at all.
    My god, this video just blows my mind.

You do NOT forsake your original fans who MADE you for less work and faster money.

      TacDyne the only reason something start on a pc first is because the game companies aren't sure people want to buy it. Pc is more like the testing ground.Console get the game when its ready for prime time.Example elder srcolls arena.They thought it would be fail.So they didn't waste money trying to put it on consoles.Arena sold well.Then daggerfall was a proof of concept.Next thing you know morrowwind is made for Xbox. And by the time skyrim came along it didn't even have controls made for a pc. It had controls made for a console.Same thing with the witcher. First one controls only made for a pc. It sold well.They said fuck the pc controls.Now it has a third person set up for a controller.I could go on and on dragon age one had a rpg traditional gameplay. It sold well now in 2 and 3 there making the controls action based.PC will never be as big as consoles.Its been like that since the first Nintendo. The pc is to complex with no industry standard.To expensive for everyone to own like a console.

      Sadly I have yet to discover a seasonal mid game texture changer. It's rather difficult.

    Wish we got spears, and the wavy banners and stuff... The seasons would have been cool, too.

    Upon inspecting the wiki (something I've not done for some time) I saw the one you're talking about. You're right about the similar moves, perhaps it served as a form of inspiration?

      You cant make new animations in skyrim, the graphic and animation mottor dosent allow it, the animations mods just replace unused animations.

    follower training is great. seasonal foliage is just a MUST HAVE. I see no downside to that. a lot of the graphical stuff like occlusion and water/underwater improvement is great as well. don't know how well it will perform though, i mean water itself dosesn't even have a shoreline. Idk where they can go with the werebear, but the new epic mounts would be awesome. dungeon enhancements i say YES. spears would be cool. the stealth enhancements are great as well, i think they're needed
