The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Magazine Preview Tidbits

The GameInformer preview of Bethesda’s upcoming The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a big one and lots of info is spreading over the Internet, such as level scaling being back in, radiant AI making a reappearance but with a lot of polish, and the addition of once-a-level perks and “dragon shout” spells. Get a summation here. If the term “level scaling” makes you groan and roll your eyes, never fear, community manager Matt Grandstaff assures us the level scaling is similar to Fallout 3.

Since people are asking, wanted to briefly touch on level scaling. All our games have had some amount of randomness/levelling based on player level. Skyrim’s is similar to Fallout 3’s, not Oblivion’s.
