It is an adventure RPG.
Look it up...it looks cool.
Recent articles at IGN.com have the developers quoted as saying that its roughtly 25% bigger than Oblivion (more dungeons, weapons, even attack types, a bigger world with bigger cities and multiple settlements, etc.). The article backs that up with some interesting tidbits of information.
It's got a lot of potential. I just hope they can deliver.
I think I'm one of the few people excited for this game. I'm gonna buy it regardless of the reviews.
Bigger isn't always better. I'll probably rent before buying to see if the gameplay is at least good enough to make me spend my precious little free time in the game. Though this is definitely a title I'm keeping my eye on.
One thing to note: though magic combat has a lock-on feature, melee combat does not (I think I read this at IGN, but don't quote me on that).
This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Why do it for one and not for the other?
Oblivion doesn't have "lock-on" for either melee or magic, and I think it's a feature that's highly unnecessary anyway.
On another note, I've watched a few more vids on this game, and it's looking very appealing. I like the motion-capture they've done for the melee attacks. I always thought the Elder Scrolls series was a little lacking in that department.
