I didn't mind the game trying to adjust itself to make it a bit more difficult during late game, but when even the lowliest bandits have godlike armor and weapons, it is just ridiculous. I loved Oblivion and Morrowind alike, but it when it came to the transition from Morrowind to Oblivion, they seemed to dumb the series down a bit. Of course getting murdered by cliff racers in early game Morrowind was annoying, but after awhile it was nice to feel like a demigod capable of annihilating most common enemies. I really hope they don't make Elder Scrolls V simple or easy, but I'm guessing that from the financial success of Oblivion, this is unlikely. They seem to have a general trend to make games simpler and more accesible for the general populace, but for those who actually know how to play games, this kind of sucks.
Eh, regardless of what it turns out to be, I will almost certainly buying this game when it comes out. I am too much of an elder scrolls junkie to notI really hope there i'm not busy when this comes out, because I am betting that I will pretty much be playing this game nonstop when it comes out.
I was an Elder Scrolls Junkie until Oblivion came out and basically ignored/rewrote most of the lore. Turning Cyrodiil from a rainforest into generic middle earth wannabe land just for the sake of making it more generic. That and the hundreds of other individual issues which added up to make Oblivion pretty much the worst game ever to be widely popular.
Why is it that Peter Molyneux can say a bunch of really cool stuff and not deliver and then everyone things he's insane, but Todd Howard can say a bunch of really cool stuff, and not deliver, and everyone just pretends he did?
