You should know, you played the demo didn't you? :biggrin: But yes I do think that the whole radiant system will allow for things like that.

I doubt that'll happen. The AI's not that smart.

 

Nor would Bethsoft take the time to implement something like that.

 

 

And Luthiel, enough with the font/color thing. It doesn't work. And it's annoying. So please stop. Just some friendly advice. :laugh:

I don't see why not, some of the things that have already been implemented would require more intelligence than that, though Betsoft hasn't actually confirmed that as a feature.

You're walking through a seedy part of a town in Western Cyrodiil. People mill about, some engaged in conversation, others minding their own business, out on their own errands. Suddenly, an ugly man decides he doesn't like you. Maybe he's drunk, maybe he's just a bully, maybe he's just showing off in front of his friends -- but for whatever reason, he has taken your measure and decided he can best you.

 

He comes charging at you, with a nasty looking mace in his hand and a look of hatred on his face. Onlookers move back to make room for what should be an entertaining fight.

 

Quickly drawing your sword and shield, you wheel around to face him. He's upon you pretty quickly though, and you barely have time to raise your shield (hold right mouse button) before his first blow thunders down upon you.

 

But you block well, and as he recoils from the collision, you quickly perform left & right slashes with your sword (left click, pause, left click). The bully realizes this isn't going to be easy.

 

He backs off a bit, and starts dodging around you. First to the left, then to the right. You maneuver to keep him in view, looking for an opening. Suddenly he steps back, raises his mace in both hands, and steps forward, bringing the mace towards your head in a crushing blow!

 

But you're quick -- you step to the side as he attacks. As he passes by, you execute a spinning maneuver and slash him in the side (hold left mouse button and left maneuver key). The hit is solid, and your foe staggers from the blow.

 

But it's not over yet. The bully swings his mace wildly -- his first swing misses, but the next one connects for a blow that sends you staggering. Pressing his advantage, the bully bears down on you with a power attack of his own. OUCH. This isn't going well. You take a glance at your health meter, it's getting a bit low. You quickly back up out of the bully's reach and raise your shield (hold right mouse button).

 

He's hurting, too. You circle each other for a time, looking for an opening, trying to recover some fatigue. Finally the bully charges forward with a devastating overhead blow, perhaps hoping to break your shield. But the shield holds and the recoil send him staggering back. This is your chance! You perform a mighty forward power attack (hold the left mouse button, press forward) and connect solidly. The blow staggers your foe once again, and you perform 3 slashing attacks in rapid succession (left mouse button, pause, left mouse button, pause, left mouse button), and finally the bully collapses to the ground, defeated.

 

The crowd disperses, going back to their own business.

 

Due to that description of combat by an Oblivion developer, I expect a game I will be completely unable to play.

I assume you mean due to it being rated "M." One: because this is a developer description, it is likely an artistic exaggeration. Two: there's no mention of blood. This, in 99% of cases, leads to a game being rated "T." Three: BethSoft won't make it "M," unless by some extreme circumstance, as MW was "T" as well.

 

If that's not what you're talking about, than I have no idea.

I mean that I'm old, arthritic, and have virtually no reflexes left. That's the beauty of what, IMO, is a true RPG.... they're accessible to all. The character's skill in each action, rather than the player's skill at punching buttons, decides the outcomes.

Because it will now require all those combinations of button hitting and complicated reflex actions, I won't be able to play it.
