Regarding the content of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", although it only released an official website and some simple text and picture information.
But for players, it feels like the Chinese New Year, with major communities and forums discussing the content of this game.
Most of the topics focus on one point, and that is what direction the game "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is leaning towards.
After all, with "Red Dead Redemption" and "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", as well as major industry players such as Zeus getting involved in the open world, this genre has basically been divided into three parts.
The first one is an open world with a strong plot and background like "Red Dead Redemption" and "The Witcher: Wild Hunt".
The second part is like the open world of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" with strong exploration.
And at present, it is the formula that many game manufacturers will choose. The large scene map is combined with multiple strongholds and multiple branches to create a so-called open feeling.
Although it has been criticized by many players, it has to be said that there is still a market for it. As long as the content of "Swiss-Shua-Shu" and "Gan-Gan-Gan" are not too outrageous, coupled with excellent art and scene creation, many players will choose to buy it.
The content is also easier than the previous two, so for most game manufacturers, this formulaic open world is the first choice.
When it comes to Nebula Games, many players have never thought that this game called "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" will be a formulaic open world.
After all, in terms of publicity, Chen Xu directly disclosed the type of open world. If it is this kind of formulaic open world, it will obviously be a big blow to the reputation of Nebula Games.
For the current Nebula Games, the benefits gained from damaging reputation and false publicity are completely out of proportion to the losses.
But here comes the problem. With "Red Dead Redemption", "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" ahead of them, this game called "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" can still Can’t reach the heights of the former
There is a lot of hype among players on the Internet. They believe that "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" will not be a general open world player. There are players who keep calm and lower their expectations, and there are also players who are optimistic about the future.
However, compared to the hot discussion and research on "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" on the Internet.
Chen Xu and his team within Nebula Games did not pay too much attention.
Because the entire team is working hard to develop a content for "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".
"Mr. Chen, this chicken?"
Within the team, Qin Yi, who was reviewing the calibration, looked at a numerical setting with some confusion.
"The scene design of Ximu Town, this chicken will trigger the bounty, but according to the plot, there are no guards in Ximu Town."
Qin Yi said to Chen Xu.
"This is mainly to increase the player's sense of immersion. In the world of Skyrim, if you commit a crime, you must pay the due price, and don't the villagers make a cameo?"
Seeing what Qin Yi pointed out, Chen Xu said with a smile.
Of course, this is one reason, and the other reason is that Chen Xu feels that it would be a pity to miss this chicken.
In the previous life of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", there was a well-known joke among players.
Even this meme goes beyond the game "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" itself.
That is the great Chicken God of Ximu Town.
It is well known that residents of Skyrim Province, in addition to daily worshiping the fickle demon gods, also secretly worship the "Chicken God", and gods cannot be blasphemed, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
Among them, the clones of the 'Chicken God' are located in various places in Tianji Province.
But one of the most well-known clones is undoubtedly Ximu Town.
People here worship the Chicken God crazily. Once anyone makes any disrespectful act, they will be hunted to the ends of the earth.
Well, of course this joke is a joke.
Just like Qin Yi said.
In fact, the origin of this joke is mainly due to a scene design flaw in the previous life "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".
It's not a bug as players imagined, it's mainly an omission in the map scene.
Because in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", killing an NPC or stealing their belongings will result in a certain sin value.
The crime value of each region exists independently. For example, if you commit a crime in city A, you will be considered a hero again in city B because it is not under the jurisdiction of the same city lord.
If you want to wash away your guilt points, you have to either go to jail or pay a fine to the local guard.
Ximu Town is a small town affiliated with Xueman City, and it is also the first novice village that players are likely to encounter after coming out.
But in this novice village, I don’t know whether it was intentional by the production team or a mistake.
That is, there are no guards in this town, although it makes sense according to the plot.
That is because Ximu Town is close to the Falkreath area, and he was afraid that Nanya, the general manager of Falkreath, would think too much, so Balgufu did not send guards to Ximu Town until news of the giant dragon appeared.
The plot is the same, but the map design is different, because if the player commits a crime during this period, there is no way to pay a fine for atonement or go to jail.
The key is that at the gate of Ximu Town, there is a big rooster pacing back and forth.
It is so conspicuous, and its pace is so arrogant.
So much so that when many players see this chicken, they can't help but kill it with their hands.
And this can lead to a big mess.
Having obtained the sin points, but having no way to atone for their sins, the players have to face a swarm of angry villagers.
The first death of many players was not at the hands of giants, demons, or dragons.
But because a seemingly harmless chicken gave the first life.
So although most of the content in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" has been modified, there are still some flaws to be filled.
But Chen Xu still retained the setting of the 'Chicken God' in Ximu Town.
Of course, it definitely cannot be retained as crudely as in the previous life, after all, it will make the player look confused.
Chen Xu also gave a set of procedures here. When the accompanying Larov invites the Dragonborn to Ximu Town, he will remind him through dialogue, and will also give a friendly reminder when he arrives at the entrance of Ximu Town.
At this time, if the player stubbornly attacks, the villagers in the game will come out to play guard duty and pay compensation to the Dragonborn for killing the chicken.
The compensation will not be too heavy. After all, players will also collect some coins during their previous escape trip to Helgen Fortress.
Of course, if you don't have it or are reluctant to do so, then players will have to enjoy the iron fist of the country villagers.
If a dragonborn has never died because of a chicken, then this dragonborn's life will be a regretful life and cannot be called a legend.
