saw this already but it's better when it doesn't have hundreds of screaming people in the background.

I wish I didn't completely pay this off. It makes it so much harder to wait for it, especially with a cock-tease like this.

I'm playing through Oblivion for the first time and I can not stop playing. I put in 10 hours into the pc version then made a new character on my ps3 version and played for probably another 8 hours. So addictive. I also tried the pc version of Morrowind but I wasn't feeling it as much because of the combat. Also the things that give you rides (forget the name) look like overlords from starcraft in Morrowind.

While this looks great, I just can't handle first-person melee combat.

The more I see, the more optimistic I am about this game. The interior spaces look really good. There's lots of little things that look like they work really well to make the game more immersive; the way you breath when you're shooting (although they could probably make that less obnoxiously loud), the way you seem to awaken enemies rather than simply come across enemies placed in the area, bats actually just being bats instead of low-level enemies, and the way the HUD is really elegant and non-obtrusive. Consider me sold.

They're bringing that back? That looked awkward as shit in the previous game. I really want to play it in first-person but it just doesn't work for me (and looks almost as awkward as the third-person view in the Elder Scrolls game). But man, this sure does look very good.

@Marz: Agreed, although I dont like how this video has been edited. I'd rather it just be a straight, uncut section of the game like the Quakecon demo.

It also kinda sucks how the music(not all the audio) isnt in sync with the video, it makes it feel more like a trailer than a demonstration. But enough bitching, this game owns all editing aside.. November 11th cant come soon enough ;)

Check out that AI.

*Buddy gets taken out by an arrow*

*Stand still looking at him*

Also I really really hope the menu's are different on PC, because those look worse than Fallout3's to use with a mouse. I doubt it though.

I hope this game is as good in third person as it is in first person. Third person sucked in both Fallouts and Oblivion. It looks really good in this video, so I hope it's a viable option. Don't really dig the first person combat in fantasy games, I like to see my geared out warrior chopping the mobs.

I hate when they add dual wielding to a game because that means I just *have* to play a dual weapon character to try it out.  
 
Man, the animation looks just about as stiff, and the graphics an incremental increase over Oblivion. Don't get me wrong though, I'm still super excited to play it.

@j_meyer_13:

I originally agreed, but apparently the explanation within the Elder Scrolls game is that it is volcanic glass like ebony, but highly modified and enchanted by elven smiths.

I was thinking the same thing. Combat and dead bodies flailing around still look incredibly stiff, but the rest of the game looks amazing.
