I thought Oblivion was coming out in January, but the release date is still TBA. They've been working on this since '02. Anyone else know if there's a date set somewhere? This game had better be worth the wait...

January 2006 more likely... It's only been annouced for 3 months.

That's an odd thing to say, is it causing you anxiety already? It was never going to be coming out in January. Better to just forget about it, and when it does eventually come out you'll be happily surprised :)

Apparently, Bethesda are initially slating it for Winter 2005, but I expect that will change (read: extend) as it almost inevitably does with games like this. It looks like they've really taken on-board the lessons from Morrowind, though. Sounds great.

I expect it will be one of the early titles for the next generation of consoles and the PC version will coincide with that.

Yes, they are using the words "next Generation" a lot on the Elder Scrolls Web site.

It's already been announced that it'll be coming out for the Xbox2 and possibly the PS3.

Moved to the Morrowind Forums, because although we stubbornly refuse to rename them, they're the best place for this type of question.
Domo hai!

How very true, the same happened with me and HL2.

10.) A developer recently stated, on the forums, that sneaking was going to get some 'tender-loving-care'. Is there anything you would be willing to share with us about these changes at this time?
That part of the game is working great, really good stuff we've been spending more time on recently.
Emil Pagliarulo, who worked on the Thief series, has been working on that, and it's much more realistic, using light and shadow and how you are moving. It's always been tricky for us because you have physical things affecting sneaking, and then abstract things, like your character's skills, so I think we're getting a better balance of how that plays out and giving the player feedback on if they can be seen, and NPCs searching for you and you can hear them say things like "I know you're here somewhere" kind of stuff.
With a stealth engine like that in thief, and ragdoll physics, what more could you want? :)
