While I'm going to miss Levitation, I'm hoping the new instant travel system will make up for it by leaps and bounds.

All in all, I'm very excited to boot this up on Launch day.

Note to self: In next Elder Scrolls, don't try to make an uberly powerful character. They might just put in a difficulty slider right away though.

I wish this was online, it would be like guildwars on crack (with instanced environments).

Is there ANY kind of crafting in Oblivion?
No

I wonder if that includes alchemy. I thought I rembered the player picking up plants and stuff in those E3 videos.

I certainly hope they know what they're doing :|

- Alchemy is definately still in, and it works the way it did in Morrowind. : ]aratex[
- No crafting in the sense that you cannot construct your own weapons/armour : Drewus
