"Yes, there are sheep in the game, and they’re quite malleable. Watching a sheep’s body ragdoll down a hill is truly a delight."

"Ultimately it makes them feel more real, something we thought we could do much better than we've done before. How they feel about the player does affect what they do and how they treat you, but it doesn't alter their goals, just how they may complete them. If an NPC wants to obtain something, like food, and they hate you - they very well may attack you to steal your food, depending on how aggressive their character type is (i.e., how prone are they to violence)."

"All the standard Elder Scrolls races are back. As with our other games, you also start out as a prisoner who is swept away by larger events. There is no downtime -- no casual stroll on the deck of a peaceful ship, no doddering old man reciting morale platitudes while you sift through a character menu -- events unfold immediately and you’ll find yourself playing the game right away without having to wade through spreadsheets of numbers before the fun starts."
