Elder Scrolls IV Q&A

I hope Bethedsa fixes some of the levelling and imbalance bugs from the original, without crippling the ability for players to excel in particular areas (eg, athletic characters should still be able to bunnyhop around the countryside to their heart's content).

Several answers in the interview seemed to suggest a commitment to making the skills balance better. This was was probably the most disappointing aspect of ES3. There came a point in the original Morrowind (approx level 15+) where enemies were no longer challenging. This made exploring lose its excitement, since it was not a life-and-death struggle ('will I venture into this dungeon or begin the long trek back to town for supplies?'). That, and the fact that it was possible, without hacks, to become a Level 125 character with 100 stats in everything.

Of course, with this covert announcement of Fallout 3 (well, this is the first I've heard of it), I'm unsure as to the game to which I'm looking forward more!

I hope they work on the characters more. Everyone was so static in Morrowind, and the dialog was just so dry, I wasn't able to finish it. I hope people have schedules and doors lock at night etc etc

More focus on story would be cool too... I like open ended, but I also like to be enticed with what happens next.

This game is going to be awesome. :)

OK!! after this Q&A I'm no longer going to look at any more new screens or Q&A's ect ect... So if anyone of you ever down the road see me post in a Elder scrolls IV comment section, you have permision to kick me in the goat nads!

One exception, the gone gold announcement :)

And with stealth, we've totally changed how we handle this, thanks to Emil Pagliarulo who joined us from the Thief series of stealth games.

holy crap! That is awesome!

" We took a lot of risks in changing our game systems to create Morrowind. Also bringing it to the Xbox was a big risk for us. Both of those paid off huge, particularly the Xbox, which is where the majority of our sales came from."

XBOX2'D! I won't be surpised if we see it on Xbox2 first, if not a simultaneous release.

lso, for some time our plan had been to use this technology in other games, and Fallout is a great fit for that.

good news for Fallout fans!

Wow, all of a sudden my company proxy is blocking gamespot. That rocks.

Q: Will this game OWN?

A: Why yes, it will.

This looks killer!
