Remind me not to get this over steam, because steam really hampers the TES modding community.
I imagine it'll be like both morrowind AND oblivion, taking cues on what works and what doesn't.

Very true, one of my gripes with steam is that
Besides, I like having a game case on my shelf
Havent played much morrowind but heard from die hard fans that its a great rpg compared to oblivion which is more action orientated (hitting a rat doesnt mean you actually hit it!). Interesting to see what they'll do (besides add in spears and crossbows! )
I actually prefer steam, but for TES products it's not very good.
Personally I thought Oblivion was good, at least as good as morrowind anyway. But call me an oldbie, I still remember Daggerfall, which was better than either

Daggerfall was awesome.
Too bad it was atrociously buggy. I don't think I could complete the game back in the day due to how buggy it was.
Although I find it rather strange that Bethsoft decided to use one of Vvardenfell's less unique locations yet again (this was one of the complaints that I had with Oblivion), I can't say I'm not excited for 11.11.11.
Oh, how I wish this was set on Summerset Isle, or in The Black Marsh. Nordic culture has already had plenty of reference within the Elder Scrolls series, with things like Bloodmoon and Northern Tamriel. I want a unique culture to sink my teeth into.
On a side note, this was probably one of the worst teaser trailers I've ever seen.

What do you mean?
If you've played Bethesda games before you should know how much of a mess it is going to be.
What are you talking about, I love their games. They are very fun to play and you can get into them really well. Morrowind got me into the fantasy setting as well.

Never had a Bethesda game crash on me.
Maybe im just lucky.
Heh, my oblivion on the 360 hated me for months in certain dungeons (never was able to fight Umbra)
Fallout 3 was pretty hellish at times and I always got bored in about 2 hours of running through the stupid wasteland. Then GECK mods came and it was more enjoyable until I killed my game with too many mods
I have plenty of gripes with beth games (sometimes bad voice acting, horrible main quests, empty space for no reasons, game levels with you after morrowind)

Been playing TES games since Arena. I'll buy ANYTHING with that label and a Bethesda stamp. Although Morrowind was very fun, folks tend to forget that you basically became godmode with melee after a while. For powergaming casters were fairly useless, or I'm just a complete noob! They've all been solid games that I MORE than got my money's worth out of, and Oblivion was gorgeous in comparisson to the others. With a sandbox game graphics can actually be a very very important thing....look at the screenie from Arena for an example.
I'd also like to note that I played on a PC up through Morrowind. I eventually got the Xbox version of it and ran into FAR less bugs and game crashes than on a PC. I played Oblivion exclusively on Xbox and have never once had a glitch or game crash. Bethesda stuff seems far more stable on a console. <shrug> Their older computer releases were awesome, but bug ridden in the extreme.
I hope they tinker with the leveling to make it less dull. The worst part about Oblivion was grinding skills. The second worst was not having anything interesting to fight with after you'd capped- just the same few enemies over and over.

Yah, cause it ruled one shotting vampires naked with a silver dagger in Morrowind? I always found the game less enjoyable the more uber I got. On the edge is where you find the most enjoyment.

+1, more generalized depth in the world and strange random stuff would be fantastic.
One of my favorite moments in Oblivion was when I ran from some monster and stumbled across a crazy shrine with Molag Baal worshipers when I was level 3. Was a 16+ quest and it kicked around in the back of my mind for a long time before I made 16. I don't play frequently anymore...mostly LoL these days.
Well ok, god mod is also bad but dont have it that all encounters are in level with you. Kind of annoying to run into some random bandit armed with daedric armor and glass weapons

What is LoL?
Also, one of my fondest moments was fething around in Morrowind, and stumbling on a dwaven ruin in the ocean. I explored it to find the strongest chestplate in the game.
IIRC, the only 'artifact' like thing you can find in Oblivion is Fin Gleam.
