Not quite as expected...

Well since i cant actually find that much information on mass effect 3 I've decided to move onto another good developer. Treyarc...had you worried there didn't I?. Elder scrolls : Skyrim is set to be released in mid November of this year. Bethesda has promised a rather interesting regeneration of the previous oblivion model including some features that had me quite excited. For a start you can now dual wield spells so for instance if you had a fireball and a whirlwind in each hand you could combine them to create a flaming whirlwind which would cause a lot of havoc.
They have also entirely redesigned the story and dialogue aspect of the previous game. One small change is that when speaking to NPC's the world around you continues to move and npcs will still walk past you (and presumably attack you if your in combat). However you can now also initiate dialogue with people you are fighting which presumably will add some interesting room for negotiation.
Personally i think this shows a refreshing change in Bethesda's plans as opposed to bringing out the same old rehashed games like some companies. Feel free to post on what you think the latest elder scrolls will be like and whether you preferred morrowind over oblivion.

  1. Sounds like they're making games more realistic by the day. I wonder if there would be a point that you're confused about whether you are playing a game or witnessing some real event? (like in ExistenZ)

  2. I can imagine it will happen when they create a realstic virtual reality program of sorts (some are in development at the moment i believe).

  3. Oblivion is one of the finest games I've ever played. Here's hoping they don't change the formula too much...
