I didnt see a thread for this yet, but if there is one, just merge or delete this one.

I know the game hasnt been officially announced yet, but it appears as tho the game IS in production and will be a direct sequel to Oblivion.

According to a new report from Eurogamer Denmark, Bethesda Softworks is currently developing a fifth title in the Elder Scrolls series and that the game will be a direct sequel to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, released in 2006

An unnamed source confirmed "with official game documents in hand" that a new title is indeed coming and the voice acting for the characters is being recording in the coming weeks.

When asked for comment on the report, a Bethesda spokesperson said the company does not comment on rumor or speculation.

In an interview with IGN at Quakecon in August, Bethesda Game Director Todd Howard confirmed the developer's new, and still unannounced, title would not be using id Software's Rage engine, id Tech 5. Instead, Bethesda has created an entirely new game engine.

CE sounds amazing, but I already pre-ordered the regular edition.

40 minute Skyrim demo from QuakeCon.

It's mostly the same thing they showed at E3 with the addition of insane crowd reactions that run the gamut from fun and infectious to obnoxious and distasteful.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

LOL at the dumbass fanboys. I wish they could grab them from the room and sterilize them before they go home.

But damn is the game gorgeous.

thanks a bunch for posting! Jeremy Soule's score, from what I hear, is amazing.

 

[SouLeSS]

Oh boy, oblivion 4.0 with less customization!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

This game will be one of the greatest games ever, if you ask me.

 

[Solidus]

Dang its down, is it up anywhere else?

 

[Soapy]

I don't know about that. It could very well be, I'm just trying not to get too hyped about it honestly. But saying it has less customization is just factually incorrect.

Morrowwind had ;

Spell crafting
Item crafting
and nearly 20 equip slots.

Skyrim has
Neither
Nor
~7 slots total.

Less overall races.
Less customization stat and skill wise at the start.


Sure, you might be able to change how your character actually looks to some what of a higher degree than Oblivion or NV or FO3 or Morrowwind, but don't get your hopes up. After watching that video, there is nothing but disappointment for me.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I also read you only have one peice of whole armour, no more seperate sets.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Despite seeing that same footage since E3, it still gets me excited. I love the idea that your class evolves from your play style.

 

[SouLeSS]

I also read you only have one peice of whole armour, no more seperate sets.

It's gonna be;

Helmet
Amulet
Armor
Ring 1
Ring 2
Boots.

 

[Teelie]

Not necessarily a bad thing. When you get to ridiculous numbers of equipable items and have a large number of items to sort through not to mention make look unique it becomes a real headache for the devs and the player.

Sure it sounds good in theory but in point of fact it becomes annoying. I played WOW for years and trying to get necessary upgrades or armor that didn't look ridiculously out of place was a headache.

Some of the other missing changes like less races and craftables is disappointing but not enough to kill my enthusiasm for this game.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It would be convenient for something like the Knights of the Nine armor. Each piece started with "[armor part] of the Crusader." So you'd have to equip the boots, then scroll down for the cuirass, then for the helmet, then the gauntlets, then greaves.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I usually use a rogue/mage type build and balance out the armour appropriately. With this all armour will probably just be dedicated to a specific build with no in-between ability. It's outrageous.

Sucks to be you then.

 

[Soapy]

You know Souless, I'm tempted to call you a troll and be done with it considering how inaccurate or outright false the information you posted is, but I won't because that would be far too easy.

Morrowwind had ;
Spell crafting
Item crafting

Skyrim has
Neither

I can't say for certain if spell crafting is in the game or not, as there seems to be some conflicting information out there.

There absolutely will be item crafting in the game. Even more than previous games in fact.

Morrowwind had nearly 20 equip slots Skyrim has 7 slots total.

Yes there are fewer equipment slots. And yes Cuirass and greaves have been combined into one piece, but this has allowed Bethesda to create not only a larger a variety of armor, but it's much better looking as well. And apparently it also improves performance.

Less overall races.

All 10 races from Morrowind and Oblivion are returning. I don't know where you're getting your info, but I think you should probably double check your sources.

Less customization stat and skill wise at the start.

No, you don't get to tag skills in the beginning (which is a smart move in my opinion), but even if you disagree about that, it's hard to argue that giving each and every skill it's own talent tree isn't a more than fair, if not preferable alternative.

Sure, you might be able to change how your character actually looks to some what of a higher degree

Somewhat? Body type, hair, beard, tattoos, face paint, scars, as well as the basic face and skin options.

After watching that video, there is nothing but disappointment for me.

So I guess there's no reason for you to continue posting in this thread, misrepresenting and lying about a game you clearly have no interest in?

Then you're missing out completely.

Cool story bro.

 

[gregtestagent]

Can't wait till Werewolves and Vampires info to get leaked early, can't keep stuff like that under wraps for too long.

 

[X Knight]

all I know is.....this game looks and sounds AWESOME!! and it's definitely my most anticipated game this year.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Indeed it must.
