Default OT: Elder Scrolls: IV

The E3 trailer, or most of it, has been released. www.elderscrolls.com.

Best get it before the servers get clogged.

And just let me say: Coooool.

This game is the reason I upgraded my system the last time (ES III: Morrowind) and why I upgraded my system this time.

Morrowind on the Xbox is just huge and awesome... Got the Game of the Year edition, I'd swear there is 2000+ hours of georgous gaming and man those Oblivion screenshots are really, really impressive.

But the story? The hordes of hell are unleashed, yet again??? Whats up with that recurring story in Sci Fi games? You'd think the gates of Hell were not spec'ed out very well, they seem to snap, unleashing hellish minions every few months now into every other Sci Fi game...

What, you expected innovation? Not from this industry, my friend!

Fyron, stop being so pessimistic. Without us, the gaming industry would die. I'm sure that the Elder Scrolls IV will be yet another fine addition to the series, offering award-winning gameplay as well as spectacular graphics.

There's limits as to what you can do with the story for the type of game you are after - if you want to have the player going up against hordes of opponents with a reasonable semblance of a moral high ground, you need: Hordes from Hell, Evil Conquerers, Rampaging Mutants, or the like; there's a fairly sharply limited list of things to choose from for that style of game.

Also, with the number of games, books, and the like out there, EVERYTHING (or nearly so) has been done pretty much to death at some point or another.

Yeah, even in SE5... didn't Aaron say in one of the chats that there would be Sithrak that could be unleashed from a parallel dimension or something... he even hinted at "ancient Malfadorians" controlling them, though he may have been kidding at that point

Considering how well done the Morrowind storyline is, I'm not worried.

(Look at it this way: 'SE5? What's up with that? Conquering the universe? Havn't we seen that story before?)
