I wouldn't mind an upgraded version of Boots of Springheel Jack either. +100 agility or something would be nice. I always liked keeping the pair and think of alternative ways to survive the drop in the Thieve's guild final quest.Onyx Oblivion said:
These improvements seem like they are going to improve the game. Sounds good so far.

I had a feeling they'd be end up blending some fallout stuff in as I really think somewhere between the 2 lies a great system. Classes were so pointless in oblivion that I can easily see why they got rid of them and as for perks I wonder if they replace the apprentice, journeyman etc perks that they already had or these are a new addition. The change to enemies scaling is a welcome addition as having to fight every 2nd bandit in full ebony plate when you were high enough was simply draining. Finally thank god for the leveling system revamp, the whole "majors are minors" so you could have a small edge over the leveling enemies was annoying.
edit: oh I don't think it said which skills are getting cut but if anything I'd think it'd be some of the spell skills that didn't have much use beyond 1 or 2 spells (looking at you alteration shields and feather!)or maybe athletics/acrobatics got merged or something inbetween.
edit2: ah ha! Mysticism bites the dust.

Only in the Elder Scrolls XXVII Bethesda will succeed in creating climbable ladders.-Samurai- said:
Dual wielding, at last. In addition the old level scaling system will not be missed, I mean, it made the game more balanced but less fun.
Well, looking forward to it.

Haha... whereas I did almost none of the main quest but maxed my levels doing all the side missions and stuff and still felt like I had finished the game and gotten my money's worth.RobCoxxy said:
I can't wait for this... it looks amazing. Though I remember people criticizing Fallout 3 as Oblivion with guns... will this trigger the hordes complaining about Fallout in fantasy world?
Bethesda, please take a page from Condemned and make melee feel like it has impact.
That will improve your melee combat drastically.
"No classes"
OH PLEASE, there might as well have been no classes to begin with!
All they did was determine your starting skills, where it went from there was entirely up to you. You didn't change a bloody thing.
"Leveling up is more like Fallout 3"
Well, that part I can agree with..if only because Oblivion's leveling system was completely broken.
So, I wonder if bows will suck tremendous amounts of ass since there's now no real reason to use them.
What's better? An easily dodged arrow, or dual-wielded fireball spells?
Knowing Bethesda, they'll just import the bow system from Oblivion verbatim to make the other combat options look better in comparison.
Oh, and because of how magic works, we're already guaranteed that it will be the same boring nonsense as before.
"Fire Touch. Ice Touch. Lightning Touch. Poison Touch."
"Fire Hadoken. Ice Hadoken. Lightning Hadoken. Poison Hadoken."
"Fire Grenade. Ice Grenade. Lightning Grenade. Poison Grenade."
All with possible "burn durations".
Without additional effects or types, combat magic quickly becomes little more than a self-recharging elemental crossbow.

Theoretically, yes, as you should be able to carry anything in either hand...War-hamster said:Yes you can, it said so in the magazinelacktheknack said:

Epic tank, here I come!
The dual wielding addition is nice... Especially the idea of dual spells, or spell&shield.
But, I tend to inherently play sneaky classes. What I hated was having to mod in alternate entrances into the cities of Oblivion. A tunnel here, a ladder there... Once I had those, I almost never used the front gate again, even if I didn't have any heat from the crime-seeking-radar equipped guards. Gimme this, and I'll be happy as a raccoon in a pantry.
