ES:V please!
And seeing that the engine's modified with more animations and whatnot... I'm psyched!

I like the idea of the modified F3 engine (which was built on the Obsidian engine). It'll save time from making a new complicated graphics engine and allow them to focus on making the game part of the game. Isn't that we used to do in the days of the Quake 2 and Unreal engine? Just keep tweaking an original system until we maxed it out so we wouldn't waste development time and money making new shiny engines for one game?
I think a mindset like that would only lower the expectations for games like Oblivion and Fallout. If I'm going to play for hours like Bethesda wants me to, why not give me a story halfway decent? I don't expect the work of Tolkien or Lovecraft, but something at least mildly interesting is something I would enjoy. Oblivion especially falls into the "soggy dog feces" bin as far as story goes. It was boring and I hated it--almost as if when the developers got tired of making the first Oblivion gate they decided they would copy and paste an equally uninteresting scenery in the other ones we'd have to take down. It felt like I was playing through a very bad novel that ended with me standing by and watching some flaming dragon of fiery flame take on the baddie. Since the rest of the storyline put my mind into hibernate mode it was really just a "What the fuck?" moment for me, since there had been no indication of any dragon, that Martin was a character from Eragon or that it would end that way.r_Chance said:
Quests are fun for me if there's some sort of objective I'm heading for and if they're well-written--if I feel more immersed into the game. If I get some cool item at the end of the quest, or some new spell or ability, and if the quest itself makes me interested. For example, the Dark Brotherhood quests or the one concerning Hackdirt. But for a large number of other ones, it was, for me at least just the generic "Walk here kill this, talk to my cousin Douglas and come back to me,". The same stuff I stopped playing World of Warcraft for.
You know, I have yet to buy FO3. I'm going to get it in a month or so,(GotY edition, naturally) and the comparison between it and Oblivion will be interesting to see.
I hope this new project is a brand new IP, but that never happens as much as I would like it to.

Better be TES V or I think I will bloody rage. Morrowind and Oblivion, flaws aside, stood out like no other fantasy game for me. I love how they play like their own world and I don't get that "Lord of the Rings 'inspired'" feeling. I also love how approachable it is, offering a deep world and lore that you do not necessarily have to delve into in order to figure out what is going on and have some fun.
I don't know much about Wet, just saw the Zero Punctuation. It sounded like a typical assassin game, woo hoo [note heavy cynicism].

Its nice they admitted the animation up to this point was utter dogshit. Apart from that, it'd be nice if they actually developed some sort of gameplay/progression system that didn't completely shatter after the slightest amount of scrutiny.
Not to mention, the idea they're making two games at once, when they barely manage a game worth playing (dlc/mods not counting in a game's favor) when its their sole priority, doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

At this point I'm pretty leary of anything Bethesda makes. Just because they are master's of world building, does not mean they are master's of making a good game.
