Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Preview

MyGamer has put together a short preview of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, based on what is known about Bethesda’s Xbox 360/PC RPG up to this point. Check it out:

There are no experience points in this Elder Scrolls, so once again it all depends on what you do. If you use magic a lot you’re experience will grow in magic, if you use weapons your fighting skills will increase. If you want food you can grow it, buy it, or even steel it. Thieves benefit from an almost entirely different set of skills altogether. If you choose this class of character you can set better traps and hide in the shadows more effectively. When you sneak around in the dark, an eye shows up onscreen to let you know when no one else can see you. This adds a nice bit of refreshing gameplay for fans of stealth games like Ubisoft’s excellent Splinter Cell series. The new physics engine will also play a huge role in the game for players who will choose the path of stealth.
