Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

With expectations for the subsequent game experience of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", Song Ren followed Larov along the mountain road.

The expectations for Song Ren in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" can be said to be high, especially after experiencing the plot of the big black dragon attacking Helgen Fortress.

Nebula Games has actually made a lot of fantasy games, such as "Dark Souls", "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" and so on.

But although the former is full of epic feeling, it is not an open world. Although the map design is quite clever, and various shortcuts extend in all directions, giving players a sense of freedom, it still lacks a bit of flavor compared to the open world. .

As for "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", although it is an open world, the main plot revolves around the white wolf looking for his daughter, and it is inadvertently involved in the battle between the northern kingdom and the southern empire. It has more of a feeling of temple hegemony, including The invasion of Ain El tribe does not have too shocking visual scenes.

But "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is different. From the introduction of the game background, it can be said that the demon god Merunes Dagon and the Dragonborn Emperor are simply full.

Coupled with the attack of the black dragon in the prologue at the beginning, and the resistance to the magic and bows of the imperial soldiers, Song Ren saw some elements in the game, that is, there may be a dragon-slaying battle scene in the future.

The combination of various factors can be said to make him full of expectations for the subsequent gaming experience.

While on the way, Ralof also talked about something about the Stormcloaks and the Empire.

Song Ren further learned about a background in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

Arriving halfway up the mountain, Song Ren saw three strange statues.

Under the introduction of Larov next to him, Song Ren basically understood the function of this statue.

It's almost like the field experience station in "The Witcher: Wild Hunt", which allows the chosen genre to gain experience faster.

According to his understanding, the game is basically a variety of professions, but the difference is that you can click on the skill tree at will, and the icons are somewhat similar to constellations.

"There are too many branches of this skill, right?"

Song Ren opened his skill tree and looked at various series of spells and various specializations.

I felt a little confused for a moment.

How are these professions divided?

Is it possible for a mage to go up and slay a dragon with a broadsword?

If we talk about before, Song Ren felt more about the magnificence of the scenery in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

Now looking at the skill tree in the game, I feel something special for the first time.

Because he found that there seemed to be no professions in the strict sense in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

You can add as much as you want, and it’s not clear how to learn this skill.

It is completely different from other games that basically have a profession by default and then directly click on skills.

After a little research, I still don’t know the settings.

But the only thing that is certain is that it is an open world game.

The gameplay of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" should be quite free.

There are no restrictions on which professions can be killed, and there are no restrictions on which professions and equipment should be used.

It gives Song Ren a feeling like Dark Souls.

Why can mages only wear cloth armor and not heavy armor with guns and shields?

Why can't the Berserker hide in the back row with his staff to deal damage, instead of going up to kill people?

Priests can also learn to sneak and then apply poison on the dagger!

While Song Ren was thinking about it, a voice prompt suddenly popped up. Through the voice chat function of the platform, Zhang Yi called him.

"What are you doing?" Song Ren, who was still thinking about how to add more, asked curiously.

"Lao Song, what race did you choose, and what genre are you planning to play?" Zhang Yi on the other end was obviously also suffering from a difficulty in choosing.

"You still can't figure it out, can you?"

"I don't know. By the way, Lao Song, why don't we compete to see who has figured out the best school?" Zhang Yi thought of something.

"How does this compare? This game doesn't seem to have online functions, so it can't PVP!" Song Ren was a little confused.

"When the time comes, we will unify the equipment and levels, find the same monster and see who can kill it faster." Zhang Yi said.

Listening to Zhang Yi's words and looking at the skill tree in front of him that overloaded his brain, Song Ren decisively refused: "I won't compete with you because I have already decided what genre I want to play."

"What school?" Zhang Yi was a little curious.

"The loser! Experience the feeling of regret for being ignorant and incompetent when you encounter an invincible enemy; you can lift a sword but can't kill anyone, you can fireball but can't kill people, and you spend all your time opening locks. , explore, go shopping, and then save the world under such circumstances." Song Ren combined his own skills to beautify as much as possible the scenes he may encounter in the game in the future.

Zhang Yi: “…………”

After chatting with Lao Zhang for a while, Song Ren casually added a combat point to himself, and then explored in the direction of Ximu Town.

And Song Ren found that it was different from the open world of "Red Dead Redemption".

"The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" is more open like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".

Although there is a main plot mission, there are no restrictions and you can walk freely.

After walking on the mountain trail for more than ten seconds, Song Ren saw a small town.

‘Ximu Town, this is the village where my sister lives. However, because it is close to the Falkreath area, Xueman City did not send soldiers to guard it. ’

‘For people in the village, livestock is very important, especially chickens, after all they can lay eggs. ’

When approaching Ximu Town, Larov started chatting with the character played by Song Ren.

When he arrived at the gate of Ximu Town, a prompt appeared in front of Song Ren, reminding him that he had discovered Ximu Town.

"The great dragonborn is about to embark on a journey to save the world. Let's take a tour of this town first." Song Ren watched Larov sneak into the village next to him and went directly to her sister Goldo, not in a hurry. He followed and took a closer look at the village.

The NPCs around are very friendly, and we can actually communicate with them.

Snowman City, as well as Helgen's dragon, Song Ren got a lot of interesting information by communicating with the surrounding NPCs in the town.

After all, a large part of the fun of open world games comes from exploring the world in the game.

"This chicken is so big and fat!"

After having a friendly exchange with several NPCs at the entrance of the town, Song Ren, who was about to go find Larov, suddenly noticed a big fat chicken walking back and forth in the middle of the road in front of a giant tavern at the entrance of the village with an arrogant look. The pace is simply too conspicuous.

"Escaped from Helgen Fortress and ended his status as a prisoner."

"Stepping into Ximu Town officially begins the legendary life of Dragonborn, but Lord Dragonborn hasn't eaten yet, so I'll let you be my meal."

Although many NPCs mentioned the keyword chicken in previous conversations, Song Ren himself didn't pay much attention to it.

Coupled with the fact that he had just clicked a skill point and the chicken was a bit arrogant and conspicuous, Song Ren instinctively drew out the imperial sword and looked at the big fat chicken in front of him, walked up to him and raised the sword with his hand.

‘Ximu Town’s hatred towards you has increased! ’

Accompanied by the screams and whines of the fat chicken, a message popped up right above Song Ren's screen.

"What's going on? Why has Ximu Town's hatred towards me increased!?"

Looking at the fat chicken that died tragically on the ground, before he could react, there was a cry in his ears.

'What are you doing! ’

'Damn guy! ’

'You must pay for what you have done! ’

"Pay up! Is your chicken made of gold or silver?" Song Ren was shocked when he saw the villagers walking up to him and the options of paying money or going to jail.

Co-author this chicken or private property?

"Facing the great Dragonborn, can't you pretend that this is nothing?" Song Ren looked at the money in his backpack and felt a little reluctant to part with it. He hesitated and chose to refuse.

After making the selection, just as he exited the chat interface the next second, an arrow shot from nowhere and hit Song Ren in the chest.

The field of vision in the game suddenly turned red, and the UI health bar directly below it was reduced by a quarter.

The villagers who had been chatting harmoniously with him at the entrance of the village all had angry looks on their faces.

He rushed forward with daggers, axes and knives in his hands.

"what's the situation?"

"Didn't I just kill one of your fat chickens? Don't fight, don't fight, I was wrong! Pay! I'll pay, don't fight!"

Seeing the swarm of villagers rushing over, Song Ren was stunned.

What did he do?

Didn't he just kill the fat cock in front of the Giant Tavern?

Why are you so angry?

You were obviously very friendly to me before, so why do you seem to have sworn hatred now?

And Larov, where did you go?

Come and help!

Looking at the villagers in front of him, Song Ren had not thought about fighting back.

But he discovered a problem very embarrassingly, that is, he couldn't defeat this villager.

Different from "Dark Souls" and "Bloodborne", as long as the skills are good enough, you can kill Xinwang and Ancient God at level one.

As for "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", although it is a game with open world elements.

But it still has RPG elements in it.

In RPG games, numerical values ​​are the most critical element.

If the value is high enough, the enemy can abuse it at will.

If the same numerical value is not enough, no matter how awesome your technique is, it will still be scraping.

As for "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", although the attack and defense attributes are the same as those of games like Dark Souls.

It mainly comes from the bonus of equipment, but he just came out of Helgen Fortress, and he has a hammer equipment.

Facing the attack from the villagers, Song Ren used the long sword in his hand to resist.

Then someone slashed his energy bar by two-thirds.

Play with a hammer!

"Forget it, forget it, stop resisting, take me away quickly."

Seeing the villagers of Ximu Town chasing him for eight streets, Song Ren sighed and stood there helpless.

I can't fight but can't, and I can't escape. So what can I do?

As the protagonist in the game wailed and watched the body lying in a pool of blood, Song Ren felt bad.

He promised to be the legendary dragonborn, and what about the 'Duwa Kein' promised to 'grab the root treasure'?

Why did you kill a fat chicken and end up like this?
