I haven't tried it -- I get by with... eh, I don't remember what, but I've got a mod somewhere in my list that adds sprinting, and IIRC both Dragon Soul Relinquishment and the Achievement-adding mod allow you to buy increases to your base movement speed.

Well, probably mentioned somewhere on this thread. I'll just say again if it has already.

Looks like Bethesda is going to E3 this year

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/news/12429/?

They never have gone before. Some people think they are going to announce BOTH Elder Scrolls 6 AND Fallout 4...which would be the first time they'd work on two games at once. Personally, I think it will just be Fallout 4 and it will be a HUGE announcement of some kind...seeing that they are going to E3 it will probably be bigger than any game before it.

Either that or its Elder Scrolls 6 and its gonna be some kind of epic ass game. Maybe it will have co-op and kill that crappy ESO MMO and I know the only reason they'd include co-op is to do just that. Since Bethesda (not Zenimax) actually refused an Elder Scrolls MMO, but Zenimax did it anyway.

But, this I doubt as that would mean Fallout is skipped entirely for another sequel.

But if it is a ES 6 with co-op, I'll laugh so hard. Would be a HUGE defeat to Zenimax backstabbing Bethesda with an MMO they did not want made. Not to say ESO is bad, but the inventory system in ESO is the worst inventory system I've ever seen in an MMO. That sole reason made me rage quit lol...

Then again, dunno what is up with Zenimax/Bethesda as I thought they were the same and one was made to be a publisher. Unless things are going behind the scenes most don't know about.

Probably just Fallout 4 and its gonna be the biggest game Bethesda ever. Or both FO4/ES6 and maybe add co-op to one/both. Can't think of too many other reasons to go to E3, except to announce something HUGE.

I highly doubt Bethesda would make a TES (or even fallout) with coop. It is more likely for there to be a spin-off in the vein of Battlespire featuring multiplayer than a game from the main series having it.

They may also be announcing something other than Fallout 4/TES6. Though Fallout 4 is pretty much guaranteed.

[nenjin]

Whatever they are announcing, I'm hoping the delay between the last ES/FO games is because they were too busy incorporating all the bad ass shit modders have made over the years.

Of course, I hope for that every year and am usually regularly disappointed that the core games are continually more casual offerings. It would be nice if they woke up to the fact people like survival and immersion in their games and start developing game mechanics around it. I love how they give us these big open worlds, but they've continually sucked at creating the tools and feature so it's a fun place to live in.

You'll know the world is ending when you're playing a ES/FO game tuned to your exact preferences with fewer than two dozen mods.

Isn't the average time between release of the recent Elder Scrolls games 5 years?

'94: Arena
'96: Daggerfall
'02: Morrowind
'06: Oblivion
'11: Skyrim

A bit closer to 4, if you don't count DLC or shit like ESO and Battlespire. It's not like those are spaced evenly, though, the mean is thrown off by Arena and Daggerfall. It'd also be a lot lower if you counted Redguard and Travels.

2 years between Arena and Daggerfall, 6 years between Daggerfall and Morrowind, 4 years between Morrowind and Oblivion, and 5 years between Oblivion and Skyrim... I'd say we're probably due for another one. Though Fallout will probably have priority. I'm guessing they'll base it off of a re-tooled Skyrim engine.

[Sensei]

Let's see- it goes:
-Morrowind (2002), apparently started work in 1996 but probably wasn't worked on in earnest until 1998's Redguard was released
-Oblivion (2006), a four year delay
-Skyrim (2011), and it's been closer to three years and three months since that released, remember it came out in November.

So, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they announced a major game (ES or FO) mid 2016. Mind that Skyrim was announced 15 months before its release.

Edit: Dammit ninjas!

[Teneb]

Keep in mind they make games other than the main series. Counting fallout 3 (and spin-offs in parenthesis):

1994: Arena
1996: Daggerfall - The 2-year gap can be explained by how buggy Daggerfall ended up, as well as all the procedural areas.
(1997: Battlespire)
(1998: Redguard)
2002: Morrowind - As stated, there were Battlespire and Redguard, as well as the canceled Eye of Argonia. Morrowind was also nearly entirely hand-crafted, with minimal procedural content (in the main game, I don't think there was a single generic bandit like in pretty much every other games of the series).
(2003: Dawnstar)
(2004: Stormhold and Shadowkey)
2006: Oblivion - Don't know if Bethesda actually made the Travels games, still four years.
2008: Fallout 3 - Only two years. Pretty fast, considering that it was pretty different in certain aspects from Oblivion.
2011: Skyrim - Three years again. It's been 3 years and a few months, as Sensei pointed out. If Fallout 4 comes out this year, we'd have a mostly 2/3 year pattern from Oblivion onwards.

[Sensei]

I'd still be surprised if they announced a game less than a year before release. Or, how long was it from announce to release on FO3?

[Rex_Nex]

Four years.

1. The majority of people don't like that stuff, or at least they don't really care about it very much. Yes, those type of mods are popular... but only a small fraction of the total people who play use them. For example skyrim sold just fine on consoles and they don't get mods at all.

2. Why should they bother when the community always does that stuff for them for free anyway?

Probably fallout 4, wasn't there some sort of teaser or ARG or something a while back? or did that turn out to be a hoax?

[NullForceOmega]

Considering how badly Bethesda fucked up Fallout 3, I'd much rather they stick to Elder Scrolls games.  Now if the announcement is that Obsidian is making a new Fallout, I'm all in.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Said it once, I'll say it again. Take the atmosphere of FO3, which I must admit I have a guilty pleasure for, and everything else from NV, and mush it together.
I would love that.
