I never understood why they put the dice roll system in the first one. The only reason that system was even greated by Gary Gygax (sp?) was to accurately depict a fight that takes place only in peoples minds. In terms of D&D-esque gameplay, without the dice system, people could argue all they want about whether they hit and how much damage they did, because just like two 5 year olds playing cowboys and Native-Americans (yes dammit) they are bound to disagree and have their own biases. But for a video game, all that could be calculated by the game's engine and accurately (relatively) depicted via a moniter so we can't disagree with it, unlike D&D where it would take place in our minds.

No.. I was just being kind, I guess it was taken down now.. Sigh, nevermind <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
EDIT: I also have some scans from another magazine of a Oblivion preview with several nice pictures. Posting them, however, might be against the rules. Anything against posting images scanned from a magazine? They're sexy. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Looks superb, by the way.

I'll get more excited about it when more solid information starts appearing.
Goddammit, is that issue out? I haven't gotten mine yet!
