I really hope not....Oblivion/Elder Scrolls is the only one of its kind in the SP universe...as of now. I think it should stay that way. #theelderscrolls

Don't get me wrong... most people hate the game. Its like UO but fps and extremely harsh. Full loot ect...
But actually having to arc arrows depending on the distance of your target and aim fireballs like Oblivion has created the most fun pvp I've ever had.
I'll never tab 1-2-3 again.
So if they could actually take the Oblivion experience and make it the same in an mmo... I would be the happiest gamer alive. #theelderscrolls

Could be a brillo way to write the main quest line - side with whichever faction you wish, do the guild quest lines to get the guilds on your side and eventually conquer the land, with the ultimate aim being to stabilize the region and put an end to the slaughter.

At least that island looks better and much, much more interesting than Tamriel. aka GENERIC MEDIEVAL SETTING. #theelderscrolls

ES series should open up to party-play!
Not MMORPG necessarily but 4ish player coop would be superbly sweet! #theelderscrolls

I'm sure it'll sell gangbusters, but still be considered inferior to Morrowind, just like Oblivion was.
Also, no Sheogorath, no buy. His section was the only part of Oblivion that didn't bore me to tears.

Frankly, you're an idiot if you think anyone besides a very, very select few want to play another Morrowind. Great game for the time, but it's dated. #theelderscrolls

Shivering Isles was great. The rest of the game was just dull though.
10/23/09
The Dark Brotherhood was pretty good too, but the other questlines are seriously lacking. #theelderscrolls

Developers move on from the old mechanics, and want to develop new technology. That's what makes next generation such a huge part of gamers vocabulary. It's also what makes us yearn for the olden days of last gen.
I often think this generation of gamers will be tomorrows Conservatives. We absolutely despise change, cannot deal with any sort of criticism, and have very little imagination or tolerance for the unknown. #theelderscrolls

Its one of those games that doesn't need confirming as we all know its coming.
Especially as I'm sure they said they would be working on the next TES after FO3 was finished, and its been finished for a fair bit now, including DLC.
Off-Topic- Anyone else not getting replies? Bunedoggle stopped yesterday. And now I'm sure I've stopped getting replies for anything. As MW2 I have 4 replies, but no notifications. Couldn't Gawker of just hired the guy that runs Bunedoggle rather than implement their own crap and breaking his as a back up at the same time.

Can't wait for the next Oblivion (still not even half way on the first one) . I'd check out the book but then I'll just compare the book to the game and end up ranting like a lunatic about nothing. #theelderscrolls

YOU can see my little problem there...
10/14/09
You know I'm thinking now of reinstalling Oblivion and attempting to plod through the impossible task on a personal level, repository or no repository. The papers I'm supposed to be writing do not thank you!

...which is to say, dang, I'd prefer to spread my glee out over the long grim November, not get it all at once.

"The sun began to set over the Jerall Mountains, its beautiful gleam radiating over the valleys of northern Cyrodiil.
Our hero's waning enthusiasm was restored by the glory of the sunset, and his legs felt as though they had all the energy of youth.
Our hero began jumping through the valley. He jumped on rocks, he jumped over rivers, he jumped through bushes, he jumped across the open fields, he jumped across more rocks, he jumped up a hill, and for good measure he jumped on more rocks.
Our hero suddenly felt a new strength ... and an irrational desire to find a bed."

I never got into TES's plot, but I liked that semi-sci-fi aspect of it. (The Gods are really aliens, yadda yadda yadda...)

Because it was the closest thing to a real RPG that Square Enix has done in a long time.

Honestly, I'll take any scrap of ES material that is out there at this point. To say I'm a Scroll Junkie is an understatement. But is it just me?

I know someone who collected all of the books in Morrowind and arranged them alphabetically in his in-game house.
It is definitely not just you. I can not wait for the next TES game.

That tiny bit of info sounds better than Oblivion as a whole. That makes me sad. :(

I thought Oblivion's genius was in its side quests. I liked the characters and situations more than the ones from Morrowind (I loved how one of the initial Fighter's Guild quests, for example, took the standard "kill-rats" RPG trope and completely inverted it several times over), even if I thought the main storyline suffered as a result from being so de-emphasized.
Video game novel fans are going to have lots of choices, because I think the Halo: Evolutions novel comes out the same day this does.

But the cover is also great :/ I don't know what to think any more!

I think, though, beyond that, it's difficult to think whether the foundational concept behind LBP (it's not just a game, but a social network of level builders and players) would have appeared in the PS2 era. Time has seen many improvements not just to consoles but to social networking strategy and internet technologies, and with these new core technologies, game developers have branched out to interweave new design with new technology and theory.
