[The Situation]

DAMNNNN I CAN'T WAIT. I heard it was going to be in Skyrim. I hope that the crappy book Infernal City is not official canon. That idiot Greg Keyes screwed up the entire Elder Scrolls world.

Set for November 11th, 2011?

Game "sounds" awesome. Trailer didn't show too much.

I really like the background choir. Awesome music.

I really like the background choir. Awesome music.

I bet you it is Jeremy Soule again. That guy is a genius. He did the music for Morrowind, Oblivion, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Guild Wars, etc.

[The Wizard of AZ]

Nords, Nords AND MORE NORDS! dsahbajnds yes!

[Metalcore1487]

YEEEEEEEEEEES!

I hope they release an anthology or something that contains all the in-game books, manuscripts and what have you. There are just way too many of them in the game for me to read on the monitor.

But I never heard any Latin lyrics from his music before, assuming it's Latin. That's why I'm kind of excited.

I don't want to wait 11 months for this, it has been to long since oblivion came out.

[The Situation]

The wait for Elder Scrolls IV was excruciating. I was checking the official website several times every day.

When it finally came out, it was a letdown. They took steps forward in terms of artificial intelligence, physics, combat system, and graphics. However, I felt it lost a step in things such as the bartering system and the world didn't seem as expansive as Morrowind or Daggerfall. Having cities in a different cell also didn't feel very open like in Morrowind. Mournhold was kind of a crappy city to be in, they should have learned from that when making the Imperial City.

What I am glad is that Todd Howard actually reads the Elder Scrolls forums and takes ideas from players.

[Try Again]

Why is it being released on Remembrance Day?

Perhaps an allegory to a war storyline of some sort. Then again 11 11 11 is a sweet number combo.

It's nearly impossible to make an expansive and deep game like Morrowind with Mass Effect graphics. One of the two has to suffer. Either you have a deep game with crappy graphics or a visually stunning game with a "shallow" feel like Oblivion or Fable. Especially if you want to port it to the Xbox and PS3. Daggerfall was such a bad game. Morrowind is definitely the clearcut "best" game of the series. If done right, Skyrim could surpass it. Because Nords are such Bad Apples

The one thing I hope they change is the "zonal" system. I thought it was perfect in Morrowind that some zones were meant for higher levels and vice versa. It made the whole griding to make a high level character worthwhile

I just hope it doesn't feel like an Expansion.

I found out about this yesterday.

So very, very stoked!

[Sanford]

Found out about this a couple of days ago as well.

Boy am I excited.... The only thing that bothers me is the setting... Since its Skyrim are we gonna just see snow snow and more snow?

I don't think so.

[G.K. Chesterton]

Awesome!

I don't know...I liked Oblivion. I wasn't a big fan of Morrowind...I'm not sure I ever finished it (though, at the time I bought it and played it I was probably too young to appreciate it). I think the loading times in Oblivion were drastically reduced compared to Morrowind and that was a huge plus. The one thing I didn't like about Oblivion was that I found all those gates/portals to that other plane or whatever tedious and boring after a while so I'd avoid them if possible.

But games like Oblivion and Fallout 3/New Vegas are great because they are so expansive and take a long time to play.

I didn't like Oblivion's scenery. Cyrodiil was supposed to be a dense jungle, they changed it for the worse in my opinion. The world was also half the size of Morrowind.
