    yeah as far as I have heard, they have listened to a lot of the critic with morrowind, an have for instance tried to create better npc. instead of search engines, these guys should have some kind of agenda and personal goals and so on.

    There will also be a little more focus on the main story and they will put a travel map in, so you are spared all that walking from one town to another (thank god for that). they have also focused a lot more on the combat part, so it's going to be a little more interesting, then just point'n'click.

    So all in all, I'm looking forward to this game, it sounds so far, like it's going to be all that morrowind should have bin.

    Won't be buying it no matter how good it looks if there is no story carrying the game forward and no good NPC's -or players in co-op (that would be something). The sounds would need to be a whole load better too, since IIRC they were rather bland in the previous part.

    All in all, they really need to do a lot of development if they wish it to be success.

    It looks very pretty and if they change the parts of Morrowind that brought it down a little, then this should be far superior.

    Anyone else notice a guy on a horse in one of the screenshots... :)

    They are apparently revising the combat so its more involving than just generally aiming and click and increasing the power of magic.... should make the game much more playable for rp'ers.

    Now that is something. It will eat plenty of space from our hard-drives.
    That is if they truly intend to keep that promise.

    I recently got into elderscroll III and I love it so far. At first it feels bland and the same and a lot of travelling. But after a while you realise there is so much to do in those bland looking places.

    Screens look good, this will be a hardware upgrade I'm afraid.

    @ WiZ

    Think again. Spoken dialogs cost money, so if everything is spoken the only way to save money is by limiting the amount of dialog there is... Well, you get the idea. ;)
