A night club in Malaysia called “Blackmagic” has an interesting and familiar logo, one that you may have seen before, but where? Oh, that’s right, on a game called Skyrim that sold 5 or so million copies worldwide. Apparently the owners of the club never expected anyone to recognize the logo of a best-selling and widely talked about video game. Bethesda lawsuit coming in 3… 2…
The epic RPG, or, The Most Time Consuming Game Ever, a.k.a. Skyrim, has been a huge hit so far, selling millions of copies and inspiring gamers to recreate their favorite Skrim moments, objects, weapons, etc. in the real world.
Flickr user Stormbringer, an avid LEGO creator, re-created Skyrim’s village of Dawnstar, which has come under attack by a Frost Dragon. Check out more pics of the creation here.
Bethesda Softworks has been around for quite some time showing off some of the most innovative RPG titles that fall into their Elder Scrolls series. Now that Oblivion has been on the market for some time, Bethesda is looking towards the future with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
While we’ve already heard quite a bit about the game, the studio has come forth to share an interesting contest. Apparently, if you have a child who is expected to be born on November 11th, 2011 (11/11/11) of this year and decide to name them Dovahkiin, Bethesda’s own Pete Hines will give you a prize. What exactly this prize is we aren’t sure but Bethesda assures us it will never justify the potential ridicule your child will receive if you so choose to name him/her Dovahkiin.
Seeing how someone will inevitably claim this prize, let’s take a moment now and express our deepest sympathy to the child who shall forever be dubbed Dovahkiin.
After much debate and rumoring, Bethesda has confirmed that the upcoming Oblivion sequel, Skyrim, will indeed feature mod tools and mod support. An Bethesda rep stopped by the forums and said:
“We’ve always been impressed with what the community has done with our tools. Like the Elder Scrolls Construction Set for Morrowind and Oblivion, we plan to release [a] Creation Kit so you guys can mod Skyrim.”
Modding was one of the most popular aspects of Oblivion — some of the mods are played to this date. Skyrim will be out on November 11, 2011.
If you’re an RPG fan you’ve undoutedbly heard of (and most likely put countless hours into) the Elder Scrolls series. Starting with Morrowind the game took a turn for the better and introduced (for the time) amazing graphics wrapped around the same gameplay we’ve come to know and love from titles like Daggerfall. However, now that Oblivion is on the streets and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is just around the corner, Morrowind is looking quite dated.
Luckily, a dedicated developer by the name of Warwon have taken the time to produce the Morrowind 2011 mod. What does this mod do, you ask? Well, as you can see from the above video it replaces the various textures and other environmental objects making for a truly incredible scene. It will be interesting to see how this updated version of Morrowind competes with Skyrim.
Unfortunately, the mod is not yet available for download but you can follow along with its development at the official site here.
