Povuholo Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 There was this embargo, which meant that nobody could post information about what they saw and did in the event before it was over. The embargo ends today. They did it so one country wouldn't have an advantage over an other, just because Bethesda visited them earlier. But there are some interviews, including written text about the experiences of some players.. There are podcasts.. But watch it, there are some spoilers about how the emperor gets assasinated in some of the interviews and podcasts, or so i've heared. You have been warned... The articles got new screenshots as well, and if i'm right some gameplay videos too. I haven't seen everything yet, and i don't know if ALL the interviews and videos and whatever are included in here, and there will be more, so i guess you check the official forums as well. 2:58 am CST update: Voodoo Extremehttp://ve3d.ign.com/articles/691/691326p1.html GamingTrendhttp://www.gamingtrend.com/News/news.php?NewsID=5025 GamerAndyhttp://www.gamerandy.com/archives/2006/02/...ndycom_ob.shtml NewGamingRadio:http://files.filefront.com/ngrcom_podcast_...;/fileinfo.html TeamXbox preview:http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1282...IV-Oblivion/p1/ Video footage:http://xboxmovies.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/29...cenery-Footage/ http://xboxmovies.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/29...meplay-Collage/ GamePlasma:http://www.gameplasma.com/previews,id,750,previewid,192.html GameSpot:http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/theeld...tml?sid=6144925 IGN:http://media.pc.ign.com/media/702/702491/vids_1.html http://pc.ign.com/articles/691/691594p1.html http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/691/691449p1.html2:00 am CST update: http://www.gamingnexus.com/Default.aspx?Se...=Article&I=1008 11:55 pm CST update: http://www.gamerswithjobs.com/node/22390 http://egm.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3148321&did=2(i believe this one is a little "old", but...)the content embargo will be lifting within the next few hours... heres a list of sites that will most likely post content just after midnight PST...

VaanicOne Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Jesus christ... ...I'm not even sure if I want to touch this stuff, I want to have at least some surprises for when I buy the game. I think I'm going to have to think really hard as to how to announce this as a newspiece...help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Holy... crumpets. o_O Er, I don't have much idea how to do this as a news post, either. Perhaps just link to this thread? Oh man... as much as I drool at the prospect of all that info... this just makes the stupidly long list of developer comment sources even longer... I'll have to update it incrementally, or something. ~.~; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Ok, things worth commenting on... "The player is given two attacks, a normal swing, and a power-swing, which you charge up before hopefully delivering a solid shot to your opponent that will inflict extra damage, or stun them if they were blocking." NO. This means we don't even have Morrowind's shallow combat options of slash/stab/chop with different damages. "as some players will prefer the quick slashes of a short sword to the lumbering swings of a HALBERD or great sword. " Interesting, polearms aren't so out and impossible to add?And if you can get your skill up enough, you can also melee with two weapons at once. Meaning duel-weilding damage fun. Well THAT's a surprise... dual wielding is IN, assuming this quote is correct.Weapons of course now have the ability to block (by taking extra damage to your weapon itself which ultimately makes it less effective) Yay. Which means my first mod will be the rapier/dagger pair for my character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I was surprised to see the comment in the review, and why I asked Dark0ne to confirm or deny it. The official statement was that it's not included, but one of the reviewers claimed it was. There is a tiny chance that things changed and it was included later, and I'd like to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I also read a preview to the game, quite recent (25th feb). He then later corrected it after someone on the bethesda team (im guessing) confirmed it wouldnt be included, kinda got my hopes up :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
