Q: The demos we saw at E3 show that the physics engine you're using for Oblivion is top-notch, and the things we've heard about the environment's realism is astounding. People new to the Elder Scrolls will doubtless be amazed, but what will long-time follows of the series instantly notice is different/better in this latest installment?
A: It's hard to say. We find even amongst the most hardcore fans, different people latch onto different things. It may be simple things like the journal system or the way dialogue works. Some folks may focus on the new combat system or maybe the more detail we've put into our dungeons with things like traps and so forth. With the folks I've talked to lately that played the game at X05 and here I'm talking about people who played practically every quest in Morrowind, or played it for hundreds of hours, not just any journalist the things they commented on were a little bit of everything. They like the interface better, the lighting in the dungeon/cave in the beginning, and the way combat works, etc. It's not just one thing; it's all of the improvements to different areas of the game that people notice as different/better.
