    A good story and a world that doesn't level up with you.

    @Gargantuan: Agree. I kinda like that their might be places that are too hard for me to go through and I need to level up.  
     
    I really hope they do some fascinating things to the engine.

    If its a new engine, you'll probably have to wait until day 2.

    Must have.  I could not contain my excitement while watching the trailer and gave out a little yell. I hope they fix the gameplay and iron out some of the jank but hot damn if I didn't love Morrowind and Oblivion.

    Oh please. It's a new god damn Elder Scrolls game. We're all going to nerd out over it regardless of what is and isn't in there. Not to mention it's Bethesda, so it's gonna be AWESOME! 
     
    Seriously though, I hope that they also made a new engine along side this game. After two games with the same one, it's time for a new one.

    I thought this was kind of weird too. Snow, caves, mountains...I suppose there are a few ways they could make that work.

    One thing I'd like to see, which I actually submitted to Bethesda's suggestions process, is the ability to create your own weapons/armor.  The idea was basically to have a system akin to a character creator for items, with an online component similar to what Forza 3 has (I think, I've never played it) for paint jobs, where you can purchase other people's work.  It could make the mercantile skill a more viable way to play through the game.
     
    Other than that, I'd like to see some more interesting magic options.  Throwing fireballs got a little old after around 400 hours.

    Take the good things from Morrowind and remove the bad ones, do the same for Oblivion and then add a bunch of new great stuff. Then I will be happy.
     
    Also I was hoping for Elsewyr, but Skyrim seems great :D

    When Half-Life 3/Episode 3 gets announced for 2012 I will know why the world is ending.  Because there is nothing left worth playing.

    What we all want, what we need, what we require and what we demand out of Bethesda is a new game engine.
     
    If it's a new engine then I hope it's more Morrowind than Oblivion to me. Morrowind despite the cliff racers is something I can enjoy even today (would probably VLP it if I had more HD space, and a crew).

    100% behind this. But just keep the charm, the humour and the "OMG I'VE GOT SO MUCH SHIT TO DO" feel of Oblivion and I'll be happy.

    In celebration of this I want to finish Oblivion, i've started it 3 times and never finished it.  Is it more fun on PC than consoles?  Thinking I will probably get it on PC.

    As long as they clean up the character animation and combat system, I am on board. It's almost 2011, it shouldn't take me 5 -10 swings of my sword to kill a rat.

    I dunno if it's MORE fun.. I bought the PC version after finishing the 360 version twice, though simply because I wanted to toy with mods.. 
    I'd say it's worth it if you're gonna do that, otherwise if you've got it on the 360 I'd just keep going with that.

    Yeah it's gotta be a new engine, I don't think they would release two Elder Scrolls games on the same engine (right?). But seeing as it's a direct sequel I wouldn't put it past them to try and squeeze some more out of Gamebryo.
