In keeping with the Elder Scrolls tradition, players will have the option to experience the main quest at their own pace, and there will be plenty of opportunities to explore the vast world and make your own way. Numerous factions can be joined, such as the thieves or mages guilds, and each contains its own complete storyline and the chance to rise to the head of the faction and reap further rewards.

IGN:

In Oblivion you'll have access to all the races, birth signs, and skills you were able to select from in Morrowind, but some things will work a little differently now. While in Morrowind you were able to select five major skills and four minor skills, in Oblivion you'll only be selecting seven major skills and no minor skills. Once a skill is designated as major it gets a boost and is able to increase faster than other skills.

Like in Morrowind you increase your skills by using them. For instance, you'll increase your blade skill by slicing your enemies with it. As you use a skill, a small progress bar will start to move from left to right in the skills menu that you can check at any time. Once the progress bar is filled, the skill increases a point and you're given a notice in the top left corner of your screen.

There are five skill thresholds you'll need to reach in order to access the higher level benefits skill specialization yields. While your skill may start at five or 15 depending on what you've assigned yourself, it needs to reach 20 to access the next tier of skill benefits. The tier names are novice, apprentice, journeyman, expert, and master. As an example, if you're able to increase your armorer skill the master level, you can repair items beyond 100 percent, whereas at lower levels you may only be able to restore it to 50 percent and be restricted from repairing magical items. At the highest levels of the mercantile skill you're even able to invest in stores and turn a profit.

Rassen

Orc

These sophisticated barbarian beast peoples of the Wrothgarian and Dragontail Mountains are noted for their unshakeable courage in war and their unflinching endurance of hardships. In the past, Orcs have been widely feared and hated by the other nations and races of Tamriel, but they have slowly won acceptance in the Empire, in particular for their distinguished service in the Emperor's Legions. Orcish armorers are prized for their craftsmanship, and Orc warriors in heavy armor are among the finest front-line troops in the Empire. Most Imperial citizens regard Orc society as rough and cruel, but there is much to admire in their fierce tribal loyalties and generous equality of rank and respect among the sexes.

Breton

Passionate and eccentric, poetic and flamboyant, intelligent and willful, the Bretons feel an inborn, instinctive bond with the mercurial forces of magic and the supernatural. Many great sorcerers have come out of their home province of High Rock, and in addition to their quick and perceptive grasp of spellcraft, enchantment, and alchemy, even the humblest of Bretons can boast a high resistance to destructive and dominating magical energies.

Imperial

Natives of the civilized, cosmopolitan province of Cyrodiil, the Imperials are well-educated and well-spoken. Imperials are also known for the discipline and training of their citizen armies. Though physically less imposing than the other races, the Imperials have proved to be shrewd diplomats and traders, and these traits, along with their remarkable skill and training as light infantry, have enabled them to subdue all the other nations and races, and to have erected the monument to peace and prosperity that comprises the Glorious Empire.

Redguard

The most naturally talented warriors in Tamriel, the dark-skinned, wiry-haired Redguards of Hammerfell seem born to battle, though their pride and fierce independence of spirit makes them more suitable as scouts or skirmishers, or as free-ranging heroes and adventurers, than as rank-and-file soldiers. In addition to their cultural affinities for many weapon and armor styles, Redguards are also physically blessed with hardy constitutions and quickness of foot.

Nord

The citizens of Skyrim are a tall and fair-haired people, aggressive and fearless in war, industrious and enterprising in trade and exploration. Skilled sailors, Nords can be found in seaports and settlements along all the coasts and rivers of Tamriel. Strong, stubborn, and hardy, Nords are famous for their resistance to cold, even magical frost. Violence is an accepted and comfortable aspect of Nord culture; Nords of all classes are skilled with a variety of weapon and armor styles, and they cheerfully face battle with an ecstatic ferocity that shocks and appalls their enemies.

High Elf

In Imperial speech, the haughty, tall, golden-skinned peoples of Summerset Isle are called "High Elves," but they call themselves the "Altmer," or the "Cultured People." In the Empire, "High" is often understood to mean "tall," "proud," or "snobbish." The High Elves confidently consider themselves, with some justice, as the most civilized culture of Tamriel; the common tongue of the Empire, Tamrielic, is based on Altmer speech and writing, and most of the Empire's arts, crafts, and sciences are derived from High Elven traditions. However, the High Elf's smug self-assurance of his superiority can be hard to bear for those of other races. Deft, intelligent, and strong-willed, High Elves are often gifted in the arcane arts, and High Elves boast that their sublime physical natures make them far more resistant to disease than the "lesser races."

Dark Elf

Dark Elves are the dark-skinned Elven peoples of the Eastern Empire. "Dark" is variously understood to mean "dark-skinned," "gloomy," and "ill-favored by fate." The Dunmer and their national character embrace these various connotations with enthusiasm. In the Empire, "Dark Elves" is the common usage, but in their Morrowind homeland, and among their Aldmeri brethren, they call themselves the "Dunmer". The dark-skinned, red-eyed Dark Elves combine powerful intellect with strong and agile physiques, producing superior warriors and sorcerers. On the battlefield, Dark Elves are noted for their skilled and balanced integration of swordsmen, marksmen, and war wizards. In character, they are grim, aloof, and reserved, distrusting and disdainful of other races.

Wood Elf

The Wood Elves are the various barbarian Elven clanfolk of the Western Valenwood forests. In the Empire, they are collectively referred to as "Wood Elves," but "Bosmer," or "the Tree-Sap People," is what they call themselves. "Tree-Sap" suggests the wild vitality and youthful energy of Wood Elves, in contrast with their more dour cousins, the Altmer and Dunmer. Bosmer reject the stiff, formal traditions of Aldmeri high culture, preferring a romantic, simple existence in harmony with the land, its wild beauty and wild creatures. These country cousins of the High Elves and Dark Elves are nimble and quick in body and wit, and because of their curious natures and natural agility, Wood Elves are especially suitable as scouts, agents, and thieves. But most of all, the Wood Elves are known for their skills with bows; there are no finer archers in all of Tamriel.

Argonian

Little is known and less is understood about the reptilian denizens of Black Marsh. Years of defending their borders have made the Argonians experts in guerilla warfare, and their natural abilities make them equally at home in water and on land. They are well-suited for the treacherous swamps of their homeland, and have developed natural immunities to the diseases and poisons that have doomed many would-be explorers into the region. Their seemingly expressionless faces belie a calm intelligence, and many Argonians are well-versed in the magical arts. Others rely on stealth or steel to survive, and their natural agility makes them adept at either. They are, in general, a reserved people, slow to trust and hard to know. Yet, they are fiercely loyal, and will fight to the death for those they have named as friends.

Khajit

Khajiit hail from the province of Elsweyr and can vary in appearance from nearly Elven to the cathay-raht "jaguar men" to the great Senche-Tiger. The most common breed found in Morrowind, the suthay-raht, is intelligent, quick, and agile. Khajiit of all breeds have a weakness for sweets, especially the drug known as skooma. Many Khajiit disdain weapons in favor of their natural claws. They make excellent thieves due to their natural agility and unmatched acrobatics ability. Many Khajiit are also warriors, although this is less common among the suthay-raht.

IGN:

January 6, 2006 - Role playing games are going to play their part in filling out Xbox 360's library in the coming year, starting with Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The previous installment of the Elder Scrolls franchise on Xbox was quietly one of the more popular games on the system. For Oblivion the role-playing is still deep and comprehensive but there's a decidely more action-oriented feel this time around.

The limited demo we ran through at CES 2006 showed off the potential of the game and its balance between role-playing and action even if there weren't too many thrilling enemies coming our way. In our limited time with Oblivion, several spectral skeletons and an unlucky rat were quickly smitten with our character's powerful bladed weapons and fire-based spells. That's the fun of playing a demo RPG: you have to have a pretty powerful character to show off the good stuff. A new character with no XPs or cool clothes just isn't sexy.

The size of the gameworld is several square miles and it's all brought before your eyes without a hitch as you run around. The structures and natural environments are super detailed with no stitching or anything else that would spoil the look of Oblivion. Projected fire and other energy effects look spiffy enough that the game will feel like an Xbox 360 RPG.

The voice-acting of the non-playable characters is top notch. This is a nice touch not only in direct conversations with major players in the game, but when you're eavesdropping on other characters having conversations throughout the game. Some of them will be talking about nothing. Some will have some nice tidbits of information for you, so it will be worth it to pay attention at least every once in awhile.

Radiant A.I.
Oblivion boasts a new artificial intelligence system, fully developed in house by Bethesda, codenamed 'Radiant AI'. It is a major source of excitement for many of the fans of the series as it aims to counter what was believed to be one of the major flaws of the previous installment (The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind): the lack of 'life' of the NPCs in the game. Radiant AI gives every NPC a set of 'needs' (such as hunger) that they will need to fulfill, thus creating a more lifelike world.

Radiant AI works by giving NPCs a list of goals. Nothing else is scripted. They must decide how to achieve these goals by themselves based on their individual statistics. A hungry NPC might compare his current gold against his moral values to decide whether he will walk to a store and purchase food, or just steal it; a skilled archer can choose to hunt his own deer.

This has required massive testing, but has even greater long-term flexibility for future NPC AI.

The following are humorous examples of unexpected behavior discovered during early testing:

Example 1: One character was given a rake and the goal "rake leaves"; another was given a broom and the goal "sweep paths," and this worked smoothly. Then they swapped the items, so that the raker was given a broom and the sweeper was given the rake. In the end, one of them killed the other so he could get the proper item.

Example 2: Another test had an on-duty NPC guard become hungry. The guard went into the forest to hunt for food. The other guards also left to arrest the truant guard, leaving the town unprotected. The villager NPCs then looted all of the shops, due to the lack of law enforcement.

Example 3: In another test a minotaur was given a task of protecting a unicorn (there is only one unicorn in the game). However, the minotaur repeatedly tried to kill the unicorn because he was set to be an aggresive creature.

Example 4: In one Dark Brotherhood quest, the player can meet up with a shady merchant who sells skooma. During testing, the NPC would be dead when the player got to him. The reason was that NPCs from the local skooma den were trying to get their fix, didn't have any skooma, and were killing the merchant to get it.

Example 5: While testing to confirm that the physics models for a magical item known as the "Skull of Corruption," which creates an evil copy of the character/monster it is used on, were working properly, a tester dropped the item on the ground. An NPC immediately picked it up and used it on the player character, creating a copy of him that proceeded to kill every NPC in sight.

Bethesda has been hard at work to fix these issues, balancing an NPC's needs against his penchant for destruction so that the game world still functions in a usable fashion.

Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Collectors Edition

De Collectors Edition bevat (natuurlijk) een aantal extraatjes. Zo krijg je naast alles uit de normale versie ook een extra DVD met daarop concept art, een verzameling screenshots en een ‘making of’ documentaire. Ook leuk is de Septim replica, oftewel een exemplaar van een munt waarmee betaald wordt in de spelwereld van Oblivion.
Klik om te vergroten...

Daarnaast ook een ‘pocket guide’. In dit 118 pagina’s tellende boekje staat veel informatie over belangrijke historische figuren uit Oblivion en de geschiedenis van het land. Ten slotte wordt dit alles verpakt in een speciale kartonnen verpakking die in vier delen uitvouwbaar is.

Eigen Mening:

14 Februari 2006 - Nu er zoveel over deze prachtgame bekend is, kan het volgens mij niet meer mis gaan. De prachtige omgeving, bekende acteurs die hun stem verlenen, epische soundtrack en een uitgebreid skill-systeem.
De enorme wereld die je bewandeld in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion is prachtig om naar te kijken, maar nog mooier om te beleven! Binnenkort, ligt hij hopelijk in de winkels voor zowel PC als Xbox360.
Ik kan in ieder geval niet meer wachten om mijn personage te maken zoals ik wil!

15 Februari 2006 - Na heel wat gediscussier in dit topic over de releasedatum zijn we nog niks verder gekomen! De releasedatum is nog niet bekend, ondanks dat site A dit beweert. Vervolgens komt site B met weer een ander verhaal. Zo gauw er iets bekend is, ik lees het of krijg het door via iemand anders dan zal ik, of iemand anders dit bekend maken. Tot die tijd moet je gewoon nog even geduld hebben.

22 Februari 2006 - De release komt steeds dichterbij, en net als alle anderen kan ik niet wachten tot deze game uitkomt. Ik denk dat het niet meer fout kan gaan met deze game, na alle filmpjes, screens en 'Devolepment Diaries'! En nu ik alles weet over het vampier zijn in Oblivion sta ik te popelen om te veranderen in een vampier, en anderen lekker op de huid te zitten!

4 Maart 2006 - En de releasedatum is eindelijk bekend. Geen uitstel meer, dus we weten wanneer we hem binnen kunnen halen!

11 Maart 2006 - Deeltje 4 van het topic is bijna in zicht, net als Oblivion zelf. CHiL is toch wel de gene geweest die met de meeste info kwam, en die de meeste kennis heeft over The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion.
Daarom mag hij van mij The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion [Deel 4] aanmaken.
Aan iedereen, veel plezier met Oblivion!

Na kort overleg gaan we gewoon verder in dit topic en CHiL zal hoogstwaarschijnlijk een helptoic aanmaken.

En na een ander kort overleg gaan we met een nieuw topic verder!

Wie in dit topic durft te zeggen dat Oblivion hem niks lijkt wordt meteen, zonder excuus ge-executeerd. Bij wijze van spreken dan.

20 Maart 2006 - En deeltje 5 is er weer!

bulleta · 20 mrt 2006

voor de nieuwkomers koop dit spel als je een xbox 360 hebt ook al ken je er niks van .

het is smpelweg zo goed in elkaar gezet en zoveel vrijheid dat het iedereen wel aanspreekt

Aaah nice and clean

Oke, dan nog een laatste vraag want dit begint natuurlijk irritant te worden,
Kan je met magie en shit dingen gooien en laten zweven zoals mensen ala halflife 2, en kan je gewoon huizen binnen en dingen besturen behalve alleen paarden, en als je bijv iemand midden in de stad de dood in slaat, wat gebeurt er dan?
Klik om te vergroten...

Ik neem aan dat je met de nieuwe telekinesis je voorwerpen zal kunnen verplaatsen door de lucht. (de grabfunctie dient gewoon om een voorwerp te verplaatsen)
Je kan alle huizen, kastelen, whatever dat het ook mag zijn, binnen. Je kan alleen een paard besturen, voertuigen e.d. zitten er niet in.
Als je in nabije omgeving van een stad of in een stad (zelf in de huizen) iemand aanvalt of vermoord, worden de guards direct verwittigd en moet je een bounty aan hen betalen. NPC's kunnen in Oblivion ook door deuren heen lopen (in Morrowind was dat niet het geval) en kunnen ze je dus eeuwig achtervolgen. Geen nood, je mag zoveel guards doden als je maar wil, want ze respawnen om de 24 uur (in-game tijd).
Als je een bounty hebt komt de guard naar je toe gestapt om moet je kiezen tussen 'pay bounty', 'go to jail' en 'resist arrest'.
