Default Elder Scrolls V in the works - direct sequel to Oblivion

Quote:
"The same source confirmed, with official game documents in hand, that this will be the chronological sequel to what happened in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which is the latest game in the now 16-years-old Elder Scrolls saga and by itself one of the better RPGs for PC and consoles.

Good, I loved TES IV.
Though I wouldn't really call it an RPG. It's more like a medieval shooter/slayer.

Out of curiosity, what you'd call an RPG then?

Neverwinter Nights, Dragon Age for example. In Oblivion you hardly had any choices to make. You hardly could be "good" or "evil" you could just be there and do the job or don't. The only relevant choices were whether you take a mission or not. Apart from that it was all pretty much straight forward. Comparable to almost any shooter.

Oh, and this of course:

Just a different way of doing things. Beth games, with that grand open world, are more focused on letting the player create his own story, providing the plot more as a backdrop.

With NWN and DA your forced down certain paths, allowing a lot more focus on telling the story.


Maybe call Beth games adventure-RPG? All I know is they have a lot more lasting apeal to me.

I had a feeling that New Vegas had been, essentially, 'outsourced' because something big was going on at Bethesda proper, and assumed that it was likely TES V. This is good news indeed. I confess to loving the company's games. TES is a magnificent RPG series and Bethesda was, in my opinion, the greatest thing to ever happen to Fallout. Looking forward to this one.

Open-RPG? Anywho, it definitely goes under RPG. Granted, like Schroeder said, eventho the world is open there isn't all that much to do in stock except exploring and doing sidequests.

But add mods and you have plenty of professions you can start "living out" from, thief, hunter etc. etc.

Bad Dowly!

On topic... I hope they either leave out the stealth or do it right this time.

Good, Morrowind and Oblivion were great (And I suppose the earlier ones too), about time they make another one.

Well.....

It wasn't hard for me to pick sides. The thing that mainly made it REALLY is for me was the Thalmore. The whole idea of elven overlords who could tell me what i could or could not believe in got my gander up. That and the whole homeland thing. If there is ONE thing worth fighting for in this world, it is HOME.

Of course this is real world feelings creeping their way into a fantasy realm, but, here i could act on them. So im currently level 34, and pushing errr, more like squashing...the Imperials out of my "homeland." (Im playing the True nord / braveheart type) Even before I joined the stormcloaks, i made it a point to kill every Thalmore I saw. The trick is,to provoke them into attacking you first. Then you can slaughter them without any bounty.

Next go around, instead of playing as a "Beowulf" type of character, maybe i'll play a "Maximus" type of character.
