New Boomtown Gavin Carter Interview
Thu, 23 Feb 2006 08:24:16 +0000

by Wester
Boomtown have lurched up their recently conducted interview with Gavin Carter of Bethesda Softworks, regarding Oblivion, naturally, and things pertaining to it, such as changes to the enchantment system, and so on. Here's a snippet:
"The system for enchantments is going to be less complex as far as we know. Was the system in Morrowind just too complex, and what does this mean in terms of gameplay?"

"We’ve removed enchanting as a player skill, but I wouldn’t say it’s less complex. Enchanting is now a perk for those who have maintained a certain rank in the Mages Guild. Once you gain access to the Arcane University in the Imperial City, you can use their enchanting station to transfer souls that you’ve captured into your weapons and armour. You pick the spell effect you want, the magnitude, area, and duration, and the item confers those benefits to you when it’s used, either when worn or when a weapon strikes an enemy. We’ve tweaked the system to address exploits, as well as put more control on what enchantments one can create. No more boots that cast fireballs or anything completely non-sensical like that."
