    It sounds like Hurricane and Ring of Protection rolled into one ability, could be interesting!

    The bear is the ultimate.
    The bear is the ultimate of the animal companion tree. Sleet Storm looks like an ultimate too, must be the one from the Frost tree.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    The bear is only one of the three skill line's ultimates. There are still two more.

    Yes, but having the Bear active and then activating a second Ultimate... that would be very OP. There has to be some restrictions with being able to have two ultimates active at the same time.

    I imagine it was done together just for the trailer. I doubt the Warden will be able to have two active ultimates at the same time.

    How did even that fat merchant-like dunmer became a Morag Tong Grandmaster? Just look at him, he cowardly running away after seeing a single assassin. Isn't Morag Tong a high-class assassins guild or what?

    I agree. Plus, I wouldn't doubt that the Bear Ultimate will have to be slotted on both bars (just as pets are for Sorcs), which would force players to choose between 'pet build' or other ultimates.

    Or he was at one time a good, dangerous one. Than grew lazy when he had became the grandmaster :) And runing because he know he don't stand much of a chance against a more fit, active assassin, perhaps also wanting to choose the field of the fight himself

    And your english were just fine, no worries there :)

    I don't think so, that would be an extremly boring approach from Zos.

    Think you'll be able to use another ult while the bear is active, since you can kill the bear and force the warden to spend ulti on casting it again, doesn't seem unbalance to me.

    It's in interesting question tho.

    I'm going to guess that the Bear ultimate that auto-respawns will be fairly weak. Good for flavor and solo players; a little like the sorc Clanfear and is maybe more "on demand" than most ultimates -- a bit like Overload.

    The bear that doesn't respawn will, I hope, be strong enough to justify it's single life.

    Minor pet peeve here but notice how the warden's hand placement on his greatsword is close together? Back during one of the first gameplay trailers, we saw a nord with the same hand placement on his greatsword. The problem is that in game, the player's hand placement is spaced out along the hilt. What gives? Is there an issue with differentiating great axe and hammers from the greatsword - animation wise?

    I just want my nightblade to have close-hand placement when he holds his claymore! D:

    Animating playable 3d models and CGI movies are different sides of a coin, and could be two (or more) different animators working cinematic vs the game, and you also have complete control over how things work in a CGI movie, as opposed to moveable/posable/playable 3d models that players have a knack for breaking/doing unexpected things with: this is most likely why you see differences.

    When it comes to swords vs hammers and axes, yes. They would be swung differently in real life and as such, real life sets the bar for what would appear to look normal in the game. Adjustments would be made so that they could re-use the animation but keep a bit of the feel of normalcy, and intended animation.

    I'd like some confirmation that Naryu is, in-fact, of House Redoran. The bone armour appears to confirm it.

    And that perfidious Grand-Master is obviously House Hlaalu.
