What's
the release date?
We
haven't announced a release date yet and don't plan to do so for a
while.
How
long has it been in development?
Since
Mid 2002.
What
does the name "Oblivion" mean?
Tamriel
is the world of The Elder Scrolls and Oblivion is the equivalent of Hell
in Tamriel.
Where
does Oblivion take place?
In
Cyrodiil, which is the capital province of Tamriel, as well as parts of
Oblivion itself.
What
does 'future generation consoles' mean?
It
refers to video game consoles that aren't yet available, or even
announced.
What
are the PC system requirements?
We
don't know at this time, but it will certainly look the best on the
latest hardware available when the game is released.
Can
I be a beta tester?
When
we reach the stage where we need external beta testers, we'll put out an
announcement and information on how to apply. Until then, we don't keep
names or lists, so you'll have to wait for the announcement.
Will
Oblivion include multiplayer?
No,
Oblivion is a single-player game only. Rather than split our focus
between two different types of gameplay, we'd rather focus on one and
make it the best single-player experience possible.
What
perspective do I play the game in, first or third-person?
Both.
The game is meant to be played first person. However, you can toggle the
view with the press of a button/key. Both views are available throughout
the entire game.
Will
the TES Construction Set be included again?
Yes,
the TES Construction Set will be included with the PC version. It will
not be available on a console.
Does
the story in Oblivion pick up where Morrowind ended?
No,
each chapter of the Elder Scrolls series is a different story unto
itself and isn't directly connected to any of the other storylines. All
of it adds to the lore and history of The Elder Scrolls, but you don't
have to play previous games to know what's going on in this one.
I
have lots of ideas and questions, where do I send them?
We
encourage you to register on our official
forums and post your ideas and questions in the Oblivion section,
where our fans and developers share and discuss ideas and answer
questions about the game and what they'd like to see.
Are
those real screenshots or are they renders?
All
the screenshots are 100% authentic screenshots taken while playing the
game.
Where
can I get more information on the game?
Continually
visit our website and look for many previews that are coming across all
gaming publications. Information will slowly be revealed on the game
until it is released.
