Og så lige nogle features omkring Morrowind 4:
-- Oblivion's world will be smaller for better graphics and to try to get casual gamers to get the game.
-- Your opponents will block and dodge, so taking down an enemy is entirely on the player’s shoulders
-- To make this more mainstream appealing(?) they have made most of the tedious aspects of Morrowind fun (Lock picking, mixing potions, and forging armor for example are going to be done through a mini game of sorts and)
-- Still made for the 1st person player there are options for both 3rd person and 1st person (like Morrowind), while also saying that the "combat is visceral and bloody”, and that it is designed to recall intense swordplay seen in movies like LoTR and Braveheart. Not to mention the fact that they said, “The combat will be every bit exiting as a FPS"
-- Construction Set program is stated to be included with the PC version and maybe even the Consoles if they have that sort of capability
-- All NPC's have a basic day to day schedule so they go to sleep, shop, and even if a poor guy that can’t afford food wants food enough, he will steal from some one, maybe even you
-- You can still kill anyone in sight, and Guards still come but since you are in the capital province of Tamriel (or whatever) there’s a strong difference in the way the guards react
-- The guards will pursue NPC's that have committed a crime an give them a royal ass kicking
-- Game focuses on growth of your character (you still make your own of course) and the missions can be tackled from many different ways
-- Here’s another quote "The elder scrolls games are about freedom, and oblivion takes that freedom to a whole new level ~~~ The combat is a much bigger focus than in the earlier games"
-- Characters will converse in free flowing non scripted discussions that are possible due to this new CS
-- Character animation will be among the best ever seen with facial expressions representing what they are talking about and if they hate you they will greet you with a dark scold, while if they like you you’ll get a great big smile
-- NPCS maybe even age (shows a pic of a woman, then another with a caption saying it’s the same woman but in the CS all they did is use a slider to change her age in which she looks very aged compared to the younger looking one
-- This is the most capable CS so far and runs on the havok physics engine
-- GI claims it has the most realistic lighting possible
-- Takes place in Cyrodill, here’s a quote from GI "the world of Tamriel is a beautiful place: these are, without a doubt, the most amazing graphics the console gaming world has ever seen (look better than doom from the pics I saw)
-- Oblivion will function as a "fantasy world simulator" and wants to recreate such beautiful vibrancy as LoTR, and with these graphics being the best I have ever seen I would guess they will do just that
-- Either on foot or on HORSE BACK, players can explore a huge exterior world that looks shockingly real
-- When you see the GI pics and can’t believe your eyes, don’t act like they are CGI or FMV, but all pics are in game
-- NOTE: as I said about the NPC's earlier and how they sleep, shop and so on, here is a couple of other things they mentioned that I didn’t.... Explore, Eat, Report for work, and none of this is scripted, this is supposedly the new development CS at work
-- Attacks will be mapped to right trigger block on left for Xenon (or whatever you want to call the damn thing) hitting trigger does basic swipes, while holding the trigger down and press a direction you perform a power swing, each different direction is a different attack for both basic and power swing. And there are special attack abilities
-- You can combine said magic for different effects and can create custom spells
-- Can join any/all of the following guilds, each with unique quests:
---- > Fighters Guild
---- > Mages Guild
---- > Thieves Guild
---- > The Dark Brotherhood Guild
---- > Arena Guild
---- > The Nine Divines Guild
