i was excited at first the the news about the fighting system and dagger stealth kills but i am fairly upset at the removal of the 8 attributes, athletics and acrobatics. i suppose i wouldn't be as much if the news articles would explain if the stamina attribute or something affects run speed and jumping distance. not every person should run and jump at the same skill level and i always enjoyed being a fast and agile character. i found the tumble ability for the acrobatics skill useful for dodging traps and jumping off water was hilarious.
i'm sure it will be an awesome game. i was hoping it would be developed closer to morrowind standards than oblivion. morrowind had a bigger feel of fantasy to it than oblivion did
