Hello,
Does anybody (especially striker) know if there will be a CS in Elderscrolls 4: oblivion?
Stealthlord
P.S. if this is secret information I understand. :angel:

Answer: Yes of course. That is if CS means construction set.

Guess who got Game Informer?
Ryushi got Game Informer!
[SPOILER]The TES IV CS will have many new features. It makes the current CS look like nothing more than a baby's toy. Some features include:
NPC's will be given an age. When changed, their features will also change.
They will also have schedules which they will 'live' by. I assume you can also change the schedules of an NPC.
A set of parameters can be given to automatically create a world inside a cell. It will place plants, rocks and beasties for you.
There will (apparently) be only free-flowing conversations, nothing at all like the text-driven conversation in Morrowind. I can't even script dialogues as they are!
[/SPOILER]
I can't remember anything else about the CS, but if I do, I'll be sure to tell you. All in a spoiler tag, of course. Don't want to ruin anything.

Oh and you forgot
[SPOILER]Quests will feature mainly outdoors rather than in interiors like MW
Each character will have some (if not all) unique dialogue
And I think there was going to be less NPCs
[/SPOILER]
I can't get the magizine in NZ but that doesn't mean I haven't read it already :rolleyes:

[SPOILER]There are about 1,000 unique NPCs in Oblivion.[/SPOILER]
Can someone find me the number of NPCs found in Morrowind? I'm afraid I don't have it installed on this computer, otherwise I'd check myself!

2700 give or take.

Well obviously Cyrondil is less populated than Morrowind :P

Yay, something I can post without spoilers. After finishing daggerfall, bethseda mentioned that each sqeual will encompass a smaller area. I don't know if they remember this plan but I will try to get you the qoute....nope...

The time schedule seems cool. Especially if they build in some sort of AI that makes it easy to set a time schedule.
Something like: "findWork("farming"), findPub("Tassel's Tavern"), findBed(Tassel's Inn Room 4") etc.
I loved that about some RPGs, time schedules for the npcs.

Gothic. And Gothic 2. Schedules were one of the reasons they have been the most immersive RPGs made to date.
I read on a MW trivia sheet somewhere that there were 3244 NPCs. The 1000 npc level of Oblivion is a bit of a worry. It suggests that the game world will be about a third the size of MWs. And if it is going to be more 'lively' - ie less sparsely populated than MW, which it needs to be, it may well be quite a bit smaller....
