Took me a while to figure out what you were saying, but I got it... tongue.gif
PodCasts are Short Videos or Audio for iPods which you can stream and download, I believe...
Correct me if I'm wrong, or if that wasn't what you were asking...

And the PodCast itself is fantasic. If you read the Reviews of sites such as Game Nexus, etc. who also had the 4 hour pop at Oblivion, it really opens it up...
There's a list of links in the recent news on the official Elder Scrolls site.

Also, I saw for the first time a truly in-depth look at the character creation... usually, you're shown a shot of the initial list, with Name, Gender, Race, etc... This had about 7 options for the lips alone, including inflation, size, vertical location on the face and whether it's happy or sad... I was in awe!

Some of the stuff they talked about inspired the old excitement I used to get from morrowind. An example being the thing about the Grey Fox.

Wjenever in a game I see something subtle that doesn't seem to matter (especially when there are 400 books and millions of tiny little details to see) that becomes significant later, it completely immerses me in the story.

That's what I can't wait, for those who didn't hear it, Andy was talking about seeing a random poster on the wall in town and reading it, it was a wanted poster about this "Grey Fox" character. Later he got arrested for stealing an apple and sent to jail. When he got out, a dark elf was standing there with a note, which he handed to Andy's character, and said nothing walking away.

Andy read the note, and it was an invitation by the thieve's guild to meet a certain character at the docks, the Grey Fox.

Stuff like that is what really makes it worth it to have 400 books around. I can't wait for little details that I barely notice to become significat, to hear about the legends before I meet them.

I can't wait for the little things in the game like this... I, too, am getting really excited! biggrin.gif
When asked if it's possible for the player's character to get found on a wanted poster, Pete Hines replied: "Maybe. I don't want to say!" followed by a grin. If you couldn't, wouldn't he have just said a blunt "No" like usual?

I also finally understand what they meant when they said every guild was a story in itself. See, old guilds were basically time wasters, things to do to give your character more stuff and experience but there wasn't any plot involved in them.

The guilds, from what I can tell, involve a tremendous amount of plot this time around, with immerisive storylines that will overshadow the main storylines of other games.

ah yes thank you very much, sorry about how it was before but I was in a zany kind of mood, and I describe it that way because I don't know how to describe the mood and I don't acctually understand what zany is. LOL. I might have known about those if I knew anyone who owned an iPod, lol, which I don't. I can only imagine the possibilities. Wish I could see that char. creation
