"XG: What types of enemies should we expect to see and how many classes?

You’ll see the full range of things. Undead like zombies and skeletons, classic fantasy creatures like goblins and trolls, different types of Daedra (demons), and so on. There are probably 40 to 50 different creatures, and lots of variations within each creature."

XG: How does stealth work in Oblivion? Has the 360 brought anything new to this aspect?

There’s nothing really specific to the Xbox 360 that has enhanced stealth gameplay. We spent a lot of time walking on it in general in terms of creating systems that allow the player to play as a thief-type character without getting out of character. So you don’t have to resort to magic or big weapons if you don’t want to. We do a lot more things with light and shadow and detection while you’re in stealth mode- how quiet you can be when in certain types of armor, or based on how fast you’re moving. At higher skill levels of Sneak you get bonuses, like successful attacks while you’re sneaking, things like that. I’ve been doing some of that stuff lately with my character, having just joined the thieves’ guild. It’s fun stuff.
