number 7 NPC improvements with Skyrim
Bethesda has chosen to address two of
the major criticisms of their previous
games the first has to do with
animations while morrowind and Oblivion
had stunning visuals for their time
stiff unnatural character animations
hindered the overall effect bethesda
looks to improve upon this in Skyrim
with a whole new animation system that
promises natural fluidity for all its
characters the second improvement is the
conversation system in previous games
initiating a conversation resulted in a
mode that seemed to pause the world
around the player and whomever they were
speaking to in Skyrim however there will
be no conversation mode that is entered
the world will continue to function
around the player as they converse
developed by Bethesda Game Studios for
the PC ps3 and xbox360 Skyrim is the
most ambitious and thrilling entry in
the long-running series to date and sets
a new standard for the role-playing
adventure genre
