Massive Battles

Post » Thu Sep 29, 2011 7:23 pm

I'm wondering, is there any confirmed information on how big battles can get?
In Oblivion, biggest battle we had was one in front of Bruma (which wasn't that big actually).
So, can we expect something more epic or are we still going to see battles no bigger than 10-15 NPCs/creatures at the same time?

The battle for Bruma was lame. 15 guards or so, Martin, Jauffre, Baurus and yourself agains like 30 Daedra coming little after little.
It was epic.

What I was thinking about some day, if you play in one specific way in the MQ the civil war will escalate to major skirmishes. Walking up the last mountain to face Alduin, you can see a massive battle around it. That battle is in another cell of course and so far away so they can use just some kind of video that play in the background. No need to render behavior for 2000 NPCs if they are just small models like the Total War ons.

A massive battle would be a dream, the 'climatic battle' at the end of Oblivion was a serious letdown, so I hope Bethesda adds this in.
