I haven't read much about it, just that shadows have been removed.

 

When you put it like that, it sounds so much worse than it actually is.

Lies and innuendo, right?

No shadows? No horsies? :'(

The reduced some shadows for some things. They didn't remove shadows entirely from the game.

Do the horsies have shadows?

That is so cool.

It has some shadow casting soil erosions.

Even better.

And does soil erosion affect the growth of in-game crops?

On shadows, there are talks that it is rather simplified - mainly, that enemies either see you, or... don't. Although that might simply mean that unlike thief you don't have critters stopping to look around, and yell out random statements that specify their current level of suspicion a la Thief. That would probably have been too much to expect anyway, the only thing that really matters is if the range of vision / shadows / aural hints depending on armour/surface/etc are done properly.

 

And since I march into this game expectant of style-retardant dialogue, I might come out happy.

If you play classical music for crops, they grow even faster while casting shadows.

Depends if they have been altered or not at the cellular level.

I'm looking forward to what people have to say about this one.

Why?!

Because your inherent biases matter.

Because it's not just a game. It's an indicator for FO3

 

And what I saw of it pre 360 release was er... not good (being diplomatic) but since they have had another 3-4 months who knows.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing my computer cry for mercy whem I turn up the viewing distance and resolution..

 

Bethesda has succeeded before (Daggerfall) and failed before (Morrowind) so this time I'll wait for the reviews.. MYSELF )

 

Apparently I'm getting the review copy of this one! WOO ME!
