The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion E3 Preview

The Armchair Empire brings us a preview of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, after seeing a demonstration of the RPG during this year's E3. A paragraph to follow:
While the technology behind it is way beyond me Todd rattled the specs off like a machine gun I know what I like and I liked what I saw. When Todd proceeded to interact with objects in the environment, showing off a full spread physics engine by firing arrows into a suspended barrel I suddenly felt overwhelmed. If Oblivion achieves the same depth as Morrowind and looks this good. I might as well forget about any other game coming out within four months of Oblivion's release. (The estimated release date is Q4 2005 without a doubt the busiest time of year for games but with the scope of Oblivion, I'm actually hopeful the release date will be pushed back into 2006.)
