Only thing that worries me about the new engine.

If it will still be a first/third person type game.

I hope that if there is a construction set, that it is a lot easier to navigate throughout the world and that it doesn't crash so often (like it does on my computer).

That doesn't have anything to do with the engine. Think of it is this way, you can move around in the game, so the camera can move around too. If the camera can move around it can also be moved to where your head would be for 1st persion or it can move somewhere else to make it 3th person.

Then considering that all Elderscrolls games aside from Redgaurd have been first person I don't think you'll have to worry much. Redgaurd was third person because it had allot of jumping-on-platforms which is easier to in a third person perspective.

This is the least of things I'd worry about when it comes to this. I don't think what's become such a big part about TES will have to be taken out just like that.

Hope this stays the same. Can't see why it wouldn't, but there's no way I'd buy a game that forced me to play in first person.

If they keep 3rd person, it would be nice if they actually gave the 3rd person mode true 3rd person controls.

No strafing or backing up. Left/right = actually running in that direction. Back = running towards the camera. That's how all your God of War/Devil May Cry/etc. action games handle 3rd person controls, and it's always going to feel clunky so long as 3rd person still controls like a 1st person game.

...not that I can that much, as I usually play 100% in 1st person, but it would be nice if the mode was at least a little less broken.

They will keep it the same. This is the kind of thing that takes a dev less than a week to do if he has a couple of buddies with him testing out the differant angles for combat sequences. Seeing which one is the best and most fun. It is not a hard thing to do. They probably spent about an hour on Morrowinds :lol:

I'm not sure what you are worried about here. What other viewpoint could you possibly want? TES has always been designed with a first person perspective in mind, and since Morrowind a third person perspective has always been an option. Do you want a Resident Evil style fixed viewpoint? A top-down view ala Baldur's Gate? Maybe they should just turn it into a text adventure?

I don't know why they put it on computers. Couldn't we just have dice, guides, pencils, and graph paper? It'd be soooo much better.

Why bother with that? Let's just use our imagination!

Can't have that. We'd all be complaining to Bethesda for making the game too complicated and alien. And expensive.

Not to mention too many people would complain their rigs couldn't handle it at optimal settings

Modders could just 'tell' folks what they see. Think of the time and effort savings. Hell BGS could just ship empty boxes.

Indeed, I'm sure that with the Gamebryo engine, a turn-based, isometric game could be made just as easily, but since the Elder Scrolls series has always been first person, I see no reason to worry about this changing. Really, the main concern I have about the new engine is how moddable it would be. It is safe to assume that the new engine will bring many technical improvements to graphics, sound and physics, that is as inevitable is night passing into day, but we have no assurances on how well it will handle mods. I also hope the new engine will be more stable and efficient than the Gamebryo engine has been, but I'm not getting my hopes too high, Bethesda has never been known for making well optimized, stable games.

Um since morrowind you could switch from 3rd and first person view. I don't see how this is a problem. Or you worded your concern in an odd way for me.

They always have been. It's part of the series. And it will probably never change.

Makes for a more immersive(sp?) experience.

So you'd rather be restricted to just 1st person or just 3rd person?

What is the sense in that?

I wasn't even aware that the ability to switch POV was a bad thing for TES and the new FO games. :blink:
