HellGate, Elder Scrolls Hands-On 38
Hellgate: London and The Elder Scrolls IV are two hotly anticipated roleplaying titles coming at us in the upcoming year. Hands-On examinations of Hellgate are available at Gamespot, 1up.com and IGN. The Elder Scrolls is examined at Gamespot and IGN. From the 1up article: "'Since we're building an RPG, even though it's primarily played from the first-person perspective, we don't want it to be a twitch-fest,' he says. 'We're doing things that have soft-targeting, or area effects, or auto-locking, to make it where your success in the game isn't determined on your physical reflexes, or the dexterity of a fourteen year old. It's all about building up a character: your level, your stats, your skills, your equipment, your items -- it's the classic RPG in that sense.'"

I remember being up late one night trudging through the continent. It was dark, the rains set in. There I was in the middle of nowhere in the gloom all alone. It was kind of depressing. I guess on one hand it's cool that a game can envoke that type of feeling. On the other hand I would have enjoyed having a buddy or two along for the journey.

I do hope they release linux binarys for the game as the elder scrolls series are amoungst my all time favorites.
It is highly unlikely , but then there is a good chance cedega will support it soon enough.
If it can build upon the base of morrowind and fix all the little bits which drove people up the wall with morrowind then hopefully bethesda will finaly have their opus

Morrowind lacked something for me though. I am hoping this new one gets me what I thought was missing in the previous game. I'm not sure what it was, but Morrowind wasn't perfect for me.

This is not a page from Fable's book. This was in previous Elder Scroll games as well, specifically Morrowind. In fact it was a pretty crucial part of the game for many quests (provided you weren't playing as a psychopathic mass murderer)

As a casual player in Day Of Defeat, I usually score one kill for being killed 2-3 times. But it changes when I play a few evenings in a row, which I sometimes do on vacation. On these occasions, I usually catch up to the better players, with really nice rankings when the next map change comes up.
