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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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. )

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.

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.
