I hope Oblivion will have lots of quests like looking for the awesome mage guild members that play pranks on the guild head by casting Invisible on themselves or hunting down lions that have been hiding in people's basements and killing people's rats. I mean, how are those *not* genius?

Not necessarily a bad thing.

I haven't been much of a fan of ID games. Like alanschu, I enjoyed HL2 a lot more, and might even pick up Episode 1. For multiplayer, I'd also play the UT series than, say, the Quake series. The gamemodes (assault and onslaught, particularly) really make a difference. And the vehicles, oh the vehicles

MM9 is a classic

No, just hairy.

This is how QW will allow for large outdoor areas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MegaTexture

Doom3 engine is being used to make the new ET, Quake Wars. Sounds good, actually, if you're into that kind of gameplay.

Then Magical Volo will buy it and pretend to hate it.

Yeah, my main gripe with the game so far would probably be that they're bastardizing a known franchise. I don't particularly care, since I've never really played a MM game, but to those fans, this is probably similar to the FO/FOPOS fiasco. At least, they're not naming it MM10.

Aye, I've pretty much outgrown 'standard FPS games' (much like I have 'standard RTS'). Deathmatchy run-&-gun can be fun, I guess, but I'm into realistic FPS nowadays. Tactical teamplay > twitch. Red Orchestra and Armed Assault/Operation Flashpoint 2 are pretty much the only games in the genre I'm looking forward to.

Yeah, but you're not completely self-centered.

Meta, seen any footage? In one of the clips, the PC casts an ice spell on the ground, around the corner of some pretty tall tower. An orc chasing the PC comes around the corner, then slips off the tower, ragdoll-style. Very cool.

Yeah, because Fallout sucks.

Whatever Bethesda does won't really affect FO3's quality. FO3 will suck because FO sucks.

Hmm, after reading the rest of the interview, combat sounds like it has potential. Prominent use of physics is a good thing. Aiming at various body parts, body awareness, all sounds good. Too bad they didn't speak about multiplayer.

Because your inherent biases matter.

I didn't steal it

As an RPG, probably. I was looking forward to it more as an action game. We'll see how they pull off melee combat.

Give it up, alanschu. You'll never win! Never!

Developers can come up with awesome game ideas like FOPOS! We love devs

Lies and innuendo, right?

Speaking of ambitious features the only one I am curious about is the stealth model that's being incorporated into the game. What little I read of it seems to suggest it's actually good and quite a step up from past Elder Scrolls games. It's being developed by Emil Pagliarulo who worked on Thief: Deadly Shadows. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I haven't read much about it, just that shadows have been removed.

You're right. It's an ambitious feature.

No, I'm one of those "The whole thing is terrifying, actually. Would you mind staying around for a while? Just to keep me company?" "Why would I stay in this dump?" "There's no reason to be rude! You can leave now if you want!" "I'm only kidding, my friend." "Oh, silly me. I should have known you were only teasing. Please, come on upstairs with me." people.
