This is great and all but what about the next Elder Scrolls game? Oblivion was/is the best game of all time.

Wasn't this game only announced like a year ago? Bethesda Software really know how to release stuff quickly. Of course, the price for that are loads of bugs and no decent patches, but seemingly the people concerned with that are in the minority.

I really don't like how Bethesda Software released Oblivion in a messy state, released the mod cosntruction kit, and basically let the community fix up the game for them. I won't be buying Fallout 3, unless the quality standards in this game have significantly improved.

I'm probably going to get ripped to shreds, but the no shadows thing bugs me. In Oblivion, their excuse that it would have been taxing was okay - not entirely true, but whatever - but with this game and the hardware in the open, that excuse no longer cuts it.

This game isn't even out yet and for me, the lack of shadows make the visuals seem incredibly dated.

A good chunk of the E3 previews made it sound like a let down. As long as it is better than Oblivion, I'm happy.

WTF! 32 articles since the morning discussion. Where the hell were you when I was actually being unproductive at work earlier this week. Now that I'm actually being productive I get bombarded by Shacknews. Damn it! Not even Usain Bolt can keep up at this rate. Slow down!
