Elder Scrolls 5. DO WANT NOW.

This worries me... "One thing I can say is that from when you first hear about it to when it's out will be the shortest it's been for us..." Does this mean that they're still sticking with the same ancient engine? Please... for the love of all that is digital... ditch the old and busted and bring in the new hotness.

 

[qu3becker]

I just hope they use a new graphical engine... And better not be a MMORPG.

20 of those 90 employee's are rumored to already be working on the many patches needed to fix the game after it's released.

Same here about the game engine. I really hope they have been building a new engine this whole time and don't just use the upgraded engine that Fallout 3 has been using. I can't wait for ES:V though and I hope it is a direct sequel to Oblivion. Oblivion had such a fantastic and epic story. I definitely want to see what happens to the empire in the aftermath.

 

[Pyroflea]

Good thing it's never coming out *Weeps Openly*

 

[nforce4max]

something that I have been waiting for ages! I don't care if it used the same engine so long the bugs are few and the game play is good.

 

[scione]

I just hope they fixed the character models, god they were ugly.

 

[Guest]

i'm more concerned about them dumbing it down for fallout players and the massive list of bugs that will surely plague it. and besides, fallout new vegas didn't look terrible

if anything please a new engine! I hate that one they used for morrowind/oblivion

If its out on consoles I can't see it being massively overhauled. Possible that they might tweak it a bit more from fallout which was a big improvement from Oblivion but fallout was sometimes graphically buggy which was a shame (More than I remember Oblivion being). Also fallout had some nice mechanics which would be nice to see. Hope they completely redo the levelling system too. I guess using the same engine is why they're doing a direct sequel rather than a total new game. TBH I'm slightly disappointed at that, Cyrodiil was unimpressive compared Morrowind. Morrowind felt like it had far more unique locations.

Not buying any more games from Bethesda, even that I love Fallout series. But that engine is full of bugs

 

[NuclearShadow]

The combat in Oblivion without mods was just awful in my opinion. Especially the level scaling aspect of it. This is what I hope they fix the most.

 

[theshonen8899]

LIKE! SUPER LIKE!

 

[iam2thecrowe]

even with the level scaling, it was still a good game, although i did not enjoy it as much as morrowind. I just want to know WHEN! WHEN CAN I BUY IT! I will upgrade my machine for the sole purpose of playing this game! It would be good if it was designed to run on pc first, then stripped down ported to consoles rather than the other way round.

Makes me wanna go back and play TES IV: oblivion. I logged 200+hours in that game doing side quests and dlc sidequests but never went back to clear the main storyline. I liked my summoner class because I called her panzi and just made my summons do all the work while i hid with invisibility/cloak LOL.

The one thing I hope they bring into TES V that TES IV had was the little colllectible in-game book series that you could collect and read. There were so many sets of books you could find and collect just to get a bit of history on cyrodil and in some instances morrowwind. The in-game lore stories were a treat to read. I wonder if the previous TES games had that too.

Oh well guess I gotta add another game(TES V) to the "waiting" list.

 

[ecmjr]

That's cool. Hopefully it'll be out for release when I'm done with Oblivion... Yes, I am still casually working on the game. Didn't realize how big Oblivion is of a game.

I wish they were, Bethesda has a terrible track record of buggy games.

 

[Albyint]

It will probably be on the same out and outdated game engine from the last installments as well.

 

[Darkv1]

Hopefully the new game is set in a province other than Cyrodill. Regardless I hope the new game is more like Morrowind than Oblivion...at least as far as the game UI is concerned.

 

[eric_son]

If it's a direct sequel.... maybe I can still use my current character!

Time to dig out my backup files. I stopped playing oblivion after completing the main quest and the guild quests. Even if I can resurrect my old character, I'd still be rusty.

But still, if it IS a direct sequel, then they MUST allow the player to continue the storyline using their old character.

Heh I live near Bethesda game studios and ran into a bunch of the developers at Chipotle back in the spring. I asked em how the new Elder Scrolls is comin along, and they went a little white in the face before one eventually replied "I have no idea what your talking about"

 

[killerclick]

Yaaaay! Elder Scrolls V! It better not be a MMO, though! If it is I'm not buying it... just like I'm skipping The Old Republic. I don't like watching movies in the theaters because there are other people around, imagine if I had to interact with them in order to see the movie.

Next time just grab one of them and beat him until he spills the beans.

Yeah and quit whining about the engine, it's going to be as good as they can manage. Oblivion looked great, Fallout looked great, TESV is going to look great too.
