Didn't you people learn from Fable 2? Really though, how can a magical kingdom really advance in 200 years? Come now, can 2009 really be that different from 1809?
Rumor: Next Elder Scrolls Game to be set 200 Years After Oblivion

Hmmm, well it occurs to me that "The Empire" is loosely based on Rome which ruled for a VERY long time. With the fall of Rome arguably comes the Dark Ages, from which Western civilization (as we know it) arose. Now granted, things ARE a bit differant given that they have been using a mish-mash of differant technologies and such... BUT I could very well see 200 years later being at the end of a Dark Age and your character helping to bring it to an end.
It's also noteworthy that despite the fall of The Emperor, the FIRST Emperor actually exists as a god (he makes a minor apperance in Morrowwind). I've been of the opinion that there might still be hope for the imperial dynasty after all.

Yeah, but 1800-present day was basically a really sudden jump ahead in world technology, Dark Ages were called Dark for a reason, a two-century gap during the Dark Ages would most likely have seen little to no improvement in technology.HK_01 said:
Well, I hope they've learned something from all the mods that were released for Oblivion. No, not the nude ones, nor the lightsaber ones. I mean the ones that expand the melee combat system (which was incredibly lacking in Oblivion, Attack, Block, Attack, Spell, Power Attack, Block), the ones that open up the cities to be a part of the world, instead of their own enclosed cell, the ones that create massive variation between NPC's, and between different monster spawns.
I was also pissed at how all the helmets that blocked the face of the user looked rather stupid. what about Sallets? what about the Bergonet style? even the Sugarloaf? And shields. Why do we only have round-shields? what about kite shields? And why is Daemonic armor the only endgame for the heavy-armor user, surely there has to be some worldly equivalent?
It is to my endless shame that I have not played Morrowind, however.

Well, this is good news. Looks like we'll be seeing Elder Scrolls V closer than we thought. I just hope that they fix the difficulty issues for the sequel. Elder Scrolls IV was amazing and sucked up hundreds of hours of my life, but it was too damn easy, and if I tried to change that, it became too damn hard.
Also, they might want to think about better cross-class management. Late-game, my Khajiit Mage was able to rip through Mooks with either an Umbra sword OR fireballs.
You can basically eventually do anything in the game as long as your class can use magic. You can level up your sword/bow skills over time, and pick locks with the best of them, despite your class's stereotypical 'fragile wizard' nature.

Sounds like it might be interesting I just hope they balance it better but I find with most Bethesda games that never happens and you can level stuff up fairly easily so you end with no archtypes of characters.
Although in Fallout 3 this didn't happen and you made kinda game changing too early which kinda ruined it slightly if you f*cked up but that is part and parcel of all WRPGs to be honest and part of the fun.

2011? Hah, 2012+ I'd say, plus I'll go for the console version most probably because I won't buy a new PC for quite a few years. I really enjoyed Oblivion on my 360, and I never really bother with mods anyway so I'll be fine.Sevre90210 said:
If it's how I hope it will be it sounds great. Most societies are falling to anarchy and their are even more bandits than before. Gunpowder is being imported in massive qualities in hope of it's use as a weapon. However they don't really have any use for it besides arson and trade. Different kingdoms are trying to claim Cyrodil for their own and are sending in troops to occupy as much land as possible. Overuse of farmland and constant struggle leaves a wasteland behind with the majority of the original population hiding from conflict instead of confronting it. To avoid all out conflict groups of marauders and mercenaries are paid to do the fighting for them. Finally the term land pirate can be uttered!
...and if there aren't fedoras than heads will roll...

Never played oblivion but i will look into the new elder scrolls game.I wonder if i should get GOTY edition for that $20.Well it's elder scrolls and i'm still having fun in morrowind so why not try it?It looks pretty good just hope this rustbucket i'm using as a pc will even handle it.
It might be able too, but it will look ugly on low settings. On top of that the map is much smaller, it isn't as engaging or imersive, and levitation doesn't exist. Guess what? That was all to accommodate the awesome graphics that you won't be able to enjoy.seventy7l said:
