  1. Interview Oblivion technology interview at Beyond3D

    Yeah, I'd noticed that too. Dunno why. We're certainly developing Oblivion and marketing it as an RPG.

  2. Preview There is no dialogue in Oblivion according to 1UP

    You are mistaken.

  3. Oblivion - is it THAT bad?

    Obviously formulas that are in 3rd party libraries like Havok are out of our control. I thought that would have been self-evident.

  4. Preview There is no dialogue in Oblivion according to 1UP

    When someone says something to you, as they're speaking, the text of what they're saying appears on the screen below their face. After they're finished (or if you press the button that skips their dialog) you get a list of things you can "say" or "ask about". Sometimes this list contains...

  5. Preview There is no dialogue in Oblivion according to 1UP

    Sometimes there are topics you can click on. Sometimes there are specific questions you can ask, or responses you can make when asked questions. Their brevity or verbosity and number all vary depending upon whom you are talking to, when, their disposition towards you, and under what...

  6. Oblivion - is it THAT bad?

    None of the formulas -- and I do mean none -- have hardcoded values. They ALL use Gamesettings for the constants in the formulas. Gamesettings aren't included in the game save, that's why you can't permanently modify them via scripts. They're just saved in .esm and .esp files. It's just not...

  7. Oblivion - is it THAT bad?

    The speed at which you can swim is based on your character's speed attribute, atheltics, how much you're carrying, whether or not your weapon's drawn or sheathed, etc. The amount of time your character can hold its breath underwater is based on endurance (and there's a water breathing spell...

  8. Oblivion - is it THAT bad?

    Oh, I get it now -- everything you do in an RPG absolutely *MUST* be goverened by a SKILL. No other stats or attributes can factor in to any activity your character participates in. Skills only. Got it. :roll:

  9. Oblivion - is it THAT bad?

    What makes you think there's no swimming in the game?

  10. Interview Oblivion technology interview at Beyond3D

    My team diary had nothing to do with graphics.

  11. Interview Oblivion technology interview at Beyond3D

    There are thousands of game-related websites out there, and most of them contact us anyway, from the largest to the most obscure. Our time is limited; we aren't going to trawl the Internet trying to find someone to ask us specific questions when they're already asking us. That would be a waste...

  12. Interview Oblivion technology interview at Beyond3D

    Twinfalls, in general game developers don't ask websites to interview them -- the websites ask the game developers for interviews.

  13. Interview Oblivion technology interview at Beyond3D

    Context, Naked_Lunch, context. It's an interview asking questions primarily about graphics technology on a website devoted to graphics technology. I'm sure that Beyond3D's readers are VERY interested in the interview. I suppose you'd rather Gavin either not give the interview, or insist that...

  14. Oblivion - is it THAT bad?

    Yeah, I'm biased, and I don't expect anyone to take my word for it -- but I think Oblivion is one of the most amazing games I've ever played. I think that even the doubters are going to be surprised, though they may not admit it out of stubbornness ;-)

  15. FOR THE BETH DEVELOPERS TO READ!

    I post in the Elder Scrolls forums quite often. I also post here, and in a number of other forums. The Elder Scrolls forums are much, much more active than RPGCodex, and so I can see how it might be harder for you to find topics in which we do post in the TES forums than it is to find them here...
