    I really hope this doesn't mean that Elderscrolls IV will be "dumbed down" for the masses. : (

    I don't have a lot of faith in mega media companies.

      well.. iirc elderscrolls III was published by ubisoft.

      at least now they have a shot of avoiding ubi-bug-of-death.

      morrowind rocks though.. i hope they manage to make elderscrolls IV as good as it..

      hey, wait a second - i really hope that they fail, i got some work to do and should be sleeping already!

  2. In other news... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny

    Electronic Arts (EA) announced today that it has been in talks with Gandalf, Merlin, and Harry Potter to secure the exclusive rights to use magic or any other arcane-related spellcasting in videogames. This would deal a big blow to Take-Two, who recently signed on to publish Bethesda's Elder Scrolls IV game, which relies heavily on the use of magic in its game design.

      Microsoft bought exclusive rights to use of "Damn Dirty Bastards". This could be a severe blow to (SCO|EA|Canopy Group) as a large deal of their business...

    If you mispronounce his name, which takes a double jointed jaw along with at least two tongues to pronounce correctly, he'll come up and destroy us all.

    That, or he'll have Uwe Boll make a movie about these games too.

  4. Publisher != Developer by obeythefist · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Although quite often publishers have made some bad decisions with regards to games, in this case the Developer is a very strong one with an excellent record.

    Bethesda have made some great, but very under-rated games, from Terminator 2029 through to Elder Scrolls and so on. I have high expectations from these up and coming games.
