The school of Mysticism has been removed entirely from the magic system, with its spells being redistributed to other magic schools.
For example, Soul Trap has been distributed to Conjuration , while detection spells now belong to Alteration. From the school of Alteration, the open lock , burden , and feather have been removed entirely. Skyrim makes use of the radiant artificial intelligence system created for Oblivion , which has been updated to allow characters to "do what they want under extra parameters.
Player marriage has been implemented; through a brief courtship process, the player may marry select characters of either gender, offering a housemate as well as a range of spouse-exclusive benefits. Players can recruit followers in the game, they can be found in taverns or some stores or by gaining a title in a certain hold.
When the player becomes the Thane of a certain hold they automatically get a companion to assist them. There are eighteen skills in all, six for each style of play Magic , Combat , and Stealth.
They are as follows:. Acrobatics and Athletics have been entirely removed from the game. Fall damage scales with distances and players may run more quickly by using the newly implemented sprinting function both in and out of combat. The leveling mechanic in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is similar to previous titles, with the player leveling up after enough skills have, themselves, been leveled up through use.
Game director Todd Howard stated that the game's "mathematical" level cap is 70; [4] however, the Prima Official Game Guide states the level cap is "around A significant new feature to The Elder Scrolls series is the addition of a total of perks , one granted each level, which allow for further specialization. Each skill is presented as a constellation, built up of node stars representing the perk tree, within a firmament.
For example, a player using one-handed weapons could specialize in maces with a perk that ignores opponents' armor, select a perk granting swords an increased chance of landing a critical hit or prioritize axes by choosing a perk that makes enemies bleed, causing damage over time. Character visual customization has been further refined from previous Elder Scrolls games, introducing new customization options such as pre-built beards and faces, war paint and scars, and otherwise enhanced facial construction.
Body size is also now an editable feature, along with different presets for nearly all facial features. Guardian Stones replace the need for birthsigns. Also new to the Elder Scrolls series are the Guardian Stones : large, carved obelisks scattered throughout the game world found singly or in a single group of 3 near the game start area.
By activating the stone of your choice, your character is granted one or more bonuses or powers; a new stone may be selected later, but only one stone can be active at a time. There are thirteen Guardian Stones, corresponding to—and replacing—the thirteen birthsigns of previous games.
Unlike the prior Elder Scrolls games, which featured eight attributes that could be increased through leveling, Skyrim has only three values to increase, one of which can be selected each level: Health , Magicka , or Stamina. This was done for the dual purposes of simplifying the leveling process and reducing unnecessary statistics, as the 8 attributes were considered to be simply a means of increasing the three above values.
Nords , the natives of Skyrim, are a playable race. Each race is characterized by a specific power and passive bonus, as well as starting with a few skills at slightly higher levels. For example, High Elves begin the game with 50 extra magicka, the ability to drastically increase their magicka regeneration rate for 60 seconds once per day, and five extra points in several of the magic skills.
Combat has undergone a significant overhaul from previous installments of the series; damage is proportionally higher than in the past and the pace of melee combat has been significantly slowed from Oblivion.
Special spell effects and an increase in the utility of bows through the revised skill of Archery make for often more dangerous—and consequently more tactical—combat.
A major new aspect of combat, as well as significant plot device in the game, is the presence of Dragon Shouts or Thu'um as referred to in-game, which use the language of dragons to manifest the Shout-users' vital power as "Thu'um," which can have various powerful effects—these include fire breath , a sort of "force" push , and a demoralizing roar , among other effects.
The shouts can be used intermittently and may be longer or shorter if more than one word of each Shout's three constituent words is known. Stealth-based combat has also been improved with the presence of a cinematic "assassination" kill move that involves the player silently reaching up and slitting a character's throat if the damage of the sneak attack is sufficiently high. Additionally, stealth detection and sneak attack damage bonuses are governed by perks that can turn a skillful sneak into a fearsome opponent, even giving the ability to turn briefly invisible in the midst of combat by sneaking.
Various daggers in Skyrim. One-handed weapons include swords , war axes , maces , and daggers ; while two-handed weapons include greatswords , battle-axes , and warhammers. Bows and Staves feature as the game's only distanced weaponry.
Weapons follow a material progression similar to that of Oblivion , starting at iron weapons and ending with Daedric weapons. Due to the highly criticized leveling system of Oblivion , enemy leveling is handled in Skyrim using a method similar to Fallout 3 ; some locations are set independently of the player's level and will not be reasonable for the player to attempt to take on at a lower level, whereas other areas will have enemies and loot set according to player level at the time of the player's first entry into the location.
In the second case, the enemies will stay at that level determined by the player's first entry, meaning that a player returning to a location visited early in the game will be able to clear the location of foes with greater ease.
Armor has been condensed somewhat further from Oblivion ; rather than independently present cuirasses and greaves, the game features "armor," which unifies the two into a single piece of equipment. Helmets, gauntlets, and boots remain unchanged from Oblivion. Equipment weight has generally been re-scaled, making even the heaviest of heavy armors more realistic in weight; this is due in part to the significantly greater limits on the maximum inventory carry weight the player can achieve in Skyrim.
Heavy and light armors remain as the two available categories, and each follows a somewhat different material progression, with light armor favoring hides, furs, and leathers until high levels, while heavy armor favors metal throughout its course. Additionally, armor and weaponry no longer degrade with use and thus do not require any manner of upkeep. Instead, weapons and armor can be improved at a grindstone or workbench, respectively.
Skyrim uses a new engine developed in-house by Bethesda, called the Creation Engine. The CE was designed with advanced graphics, long draw distances, and variable environments in mind, and is capable of implementing features such as uneven weather effects, more realistic weather simulation based upon altitude and geographic region, more realistically flowing water, and environmental effects like rain and snow having realistic interaction with obstacles.
The game does not currently support a aspect ratio screen. Many menus and text are cut off the screen when this feature is attempted. With the new system, developers may assign characters a wide variety of tasks and characteristics, giving each of them actions that complement his or her unique personality and thus deepening player interaction with the characters of Skyrim.
