------- Thank you for looking at this page. I accept NO credit for all this, I saw it on http://www.cyrodiil.net/html/facts.html. Assuming that people will be looking for what to expect in this game, I thought I could post it all here... I'M SO SORRY IF I BROKE A RULE ON THIS FORUM.

As I said above, I am unsure of the rules/ regulations of this place. Sorry.

Yep! Looks like Bethesda learned a great deal from the modders out there! (Many of those features can be found in the various mods people have made for Morrowwind.) But; hey; that's WHY they are able to put out a product with ENORMOUS market appeal! They're smart enough to listen to and learn from their customers!

I don't think you broke a rule

Very usefull list and thanks for sharing it with us = pleased you found it

• Realistic clothing movement

Sorry, thats out.

Oh. I'm glad people like this .

Wow that list is amazing thanx leviathan man

What about:

? Real drunk effect (when you have too much brandy)
? Real spell effect (vision slurred or sharpness)
? uh... achieving god-like powers?

-Patrick Stewart voice (i think from star trek) for character
- hoods, non hoods

i like those and that the character has a voice now

-new/more diaoge

most of the realistic stuff,

thnx for getting the GREAT list

Thank you everyone! These supportive replies make me feel welcome here.

Again, Thank you for replying in the first place.

He/she doesn't.

What?

The character doesn't talk.

that sux, why cant and wont they do that?, i thikn they should have a voice so that u can know more about the character u want to make, not the speechless thing of your imagination

Wolfie: it doesn't "sux". The idea of role-playing is imagining what your cahratcer does and says even if he/she doesn't do it in game.

NOTE: I can't type today :S

well, i guess that adds to the role playing part, but i wouldnt mind if u were able to have a voice in the game, other then the ussual grunt, lol,
