" I really hope that the grass in the game doesn't generate in front of you like in Oblivion. That's one of the things that I didn't like about Oblivion; as you were exploring, everything in the distance was a blurry mess and slowly got covered in grass as you approached. It was weird. "

" @Marz:  It's not the animation department that was the issue with the older Gamebryo games. It's the way the engine itself handles and blends animations. This new engine is sure to fix those issues. "

" Their engine for Oblivion sounded awesome as well. "

11/11/2011 can't come soon enough. I am so excited for this game I just don't know if I can wait that long for this sure to be epic masterpiece.

" Shitty slow-ass trees confirmed!  Guess I'll wait for somebody to mod in SpeedTree®. "

" They probably dumped speedtree because of liscenseing fees.  if you check out the demos for speed tree, they are fully editable trees with physics and collisions as well as destruction. dumping speedtree is just a move to save some money.(also putting more pressure on the modeling team)  in the end there will probably be alot of trees that look the same.

Wait, what? What's your logic on that? "

I really like how the new engine is looking though of course Bethesda makes a lot of promises about  there tech.  Behavior will be a huge improvement ( I don't think they have bad animators but that they limit themselves so that they can process that many animations at once with a nice framerate for consoles, thats why its easy for modders to fix them on the PC with no noticeable impact) but the physic's implementation seems light, it would have been cool to see Euphoria implemented to have more realistic animations when the characters get tired while fighting. I doubt Speedtree will be missed that much because even with it most trees looked the same and if it is in house tech they have more control over what they can do. I do wonder how much this is going to effect the construction set

I kinda hope they fix the floaty legs/ feet animation.. (do a circular motion with the left thumbstick in 3rd person view..for those who don't know what I mean)

I always found it hilarious in Oblivion that I'd have a higher skill level than some of the trainers, but could still try to purchase training from them. Also, that none of them wanted training from me.
