Holy **** that looks awesome! That huge palace is really amazing, and (did I heared that right) it's a quarter of the original game! I can't wait.

Noirgrim · Post by **Noirgrim** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 8:40 pm

Yeah, a quarter the size, impressive. I really wonder how the land itself will be set up. Like a new overworld map where you can travel around to different locations, or something more like a huge interior acting like an exterior, I hope for the former.

So, everyone noticed the part where they said they backtracked towards Morrowind? And remember when I said we were gonna do everything with Hammerfell that Bethesda dropped the ball on in Oblivion? This will be a fantastic resource for us. Not only to see if the new content will be of any use to us, but also to see how they executed they brought the higher standards of lore, creativity and immersiveness that we found in Morrowind into the Oblivion engine.

Noirgrim · Post by **Noirgrim** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 8:57 pm

My guess is that they will. Even though people have this idea that they don't listen to their customer base, everything I've seen from game to game would indicate that they do. Everything that people complained about in MW was made 10 times better in OB. But because no one complained about lore and certain kinds of emmersion in MW, it seems they toned that down in OB. With everyother post on the ESF talking about how they should revert to these things, and the obvious choice that they included that sentance in this vid, I can be certain we will see those things coming back in this expansion.

Ah, man! Finally some big mushrooms again!

Oblivion was so... empty without them.

God. That looks really pretty.
But they've promised 30 hours of new gameplay, compared to Knights of the Nines' 15 hours. And Knights of the Nine was 155 fcking mb >.>. Imagine what this size is going to be like. Big download limit, much. I'll download it when I can, because that looks seriously awesome.

Morgoth Bauglir · Post by **Morgoth Bauglir** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 3:20 pm

You can also just buy it in stores, probably (just like KotN)

Lady Nerevar · Post by **Lady Nerevar** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 3:22 pm

i think there wont be a DL version for the PC (unles you get the "special" version)

Dexter · Post by **Dexter** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 5:13 pm

Yeah, this isn't some pussy $2 downloadable crapfest. This is going to be a real expansion, like Tribunal or Bloodmoon was for Morrowind.

Macar · Post by **Macar** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 6:25 pm

I'm acutly quite exited about this too (Even though I dont have OB- so it dosent affect me). Looking forward to trying it out. I agree with Noirgrim entirely, that this is an obvious reaction to players (as was Oblivion). It looks very alien.

Does anyone know if there is going to be new music? I'm affraid there wont be- but I can dream, cant I?

Morgoth · Post by **Morgoth** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 6:25 pm

That huge city is Vivec and Mournhold style all the way. I still hope that it's a bit different, though. I need to see that they can inspire the same feelings from Morrowind, without having to include all of the same things. Those knights are badass, and Sheogorath looks great.

I'm Shivering with excitement! (Booo, hisss.)

Ayedail · Post by **Ayedail** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 6:50 pm

ZOMG!!!!! that looks sooo awesome! definatly going to buy it

hope there will be a collectors edition!

Eraser · Post by **Eraser** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 11:16 pm

Good to see they listen to players still. And I have a hunch they'll make the golden saints NPCs, so the idiots whining for new races get something, without us lore suscribers dying and rolling over in our graves.

They definitely hired artists from the myst games...the wilderness shots are pure myst surrealism.

The only problem I can see is...
Who the <censored> is Jugaleg? Never heard of this guy. Otherwise, after watching the video, I had to take an hour long shower just to get rid of the drool. (There's something about big, imposing architecture that I like.

)

Jyggalag is the missing Daedra Lord, simply put. He was listed amongst them once but has never been mentioned since.

Silverwood · Post by **Silverwood** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 5:57 pm

Wern't we going to use Sheogoraths realm for Hammerfell? If they are using all of it what are we going to do?

Noirgrim · Post by **Noirgrim** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 6:03 pm

Close, Vermina's.

Morgoth Bauglir · Post by **Morgoth Bauglir** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 6:35 pm

Players might get tired of all those daedric realms... I will never get tired of oblivion though =) (360 hours now, still not finished

)

Masters Kirkbride, Kuhlman, and Peterson are not involved in this project.

Morgoth Bauglir · Post by **Morgoth Bauglir** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 7:24 pm

??? you where gone, right? or did I missed something?

Post by **Gnomey** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 7:26 pm

Sload only stepped down from his position of Head of Quests, he's still an active modder for TR.

Morgoth Bauglir · Post by **Morgoth Bauglir** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 7:37 pm

Oooh, I thought I read that he left this project. And all those messages like, 'hope to see you again' '(...) come back here' etc. Seem to suggest he would be gone...

I still not get what he wrote though =)

Post by **Gnomey** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 8:08 pm

It seems that a lot of people made the same mistake as you did, me included.

And I don't either...

Heheheh. The ninja mummy made me laugh.

That looks like it'll be awesome.

[url=http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=623431&view=findpost&p=9057104]Master Kuhlman was actually involved, according to Master Nelson.[/url] And Master Rolston, too, even if just a tiny little bit at the very beginning (seems they were working on SI since day one).

I am aware, though I wasn't when I wrote that message.

I'll remain disinterested.

The majority of my time playing Oblivion is on the 360, seeing as my computer is like, 2002. And I can't be assed with all the complicated aspects of building a computer that'll support it at full potential. That, and the bank crippling prices that are around nowadays. I don't have Live, so I have no idea how the fck I'm supposed to get it. Even with Live, it'll still be huuuuuge. It'd be nice if they released a version of Oblivion on a disk with all the expansions after this one, or the next. Like they did with GOTY. That was a smart move for Bethesda.

fanfas · Post by **fanfas** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 3:29 pm

Well i think after this release they will release 1 or 2 plug ins for it and then another expansion, then i think a GOTY edition with all of the stuff will be avaiable... maybe next christmas or so....

Morgoth Bauglir · Post by **Morgoth Bauglir** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 6:24 pm

Sounds like I'll have lots to buy

I don't even have KotN yet, *sigh*

-Saddistic_Angel- · Post by **-Saddistic_Angel-** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 12:53 pm

I haven't got any of them xDD.
I really want Wizard's Tower and Mehrunes' Razor.
Even thought Mehrunes' Razor isn't a very good dagger.

I'm really going to buy THIS! KotN was already awesome, this is going to be even better!

Pre-ordered yesterday.

xeth-ban · Post by **xeth-ban** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 1:12 pm

Atleast there is giant mushrooms : / i don't think i can be bothered to buy it though.

I would probably do it if i had ol' Fadril working again, but my Fadril save wont work because i don't have the mods i used at his days.

He is basicly dead, i can load the save but he cannot move, and he have 0 health, even though he is alive.

Kinda sad, he was an awesome character, for an Oblivion character that is.
