"The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is indeed on its way, and hopefully it'll hit before too long (though, needless to say, the good people at Bethesda should take all the time they need to do this one right). One look at the screenshots for the game and the scope and ambition behind the project become apparent. And that scope and ambition are tremendous. We're talking an absolutely huge, open-ended world to explore, but one that's incredibly rich with detail around every corner, and one in which there's an entire population of lifelike characters to interact with in any way you wish. The Elder Scrolls series has always been this sort of fantasy-themed sandbox, and when you get swept up in it all, it can be really amazing."
