Mouth Joined: 10-December 10 From: Flyin', Flyin' in the sky!	That news both makes me happy and skeptical. I'm happy because Bethesda is finally ditching NetImmerse/Gamebryo (or rather, the Frankensteinien hack-job they used for Oblivion and Fallout 3/NV), but Bethesda has a bit of a track record with poor coding, especially on the main TES releases. Morrowind had a number of coding flaws (some were serious), Oblivion is extremely twitchy and inefficient, and both of those plus Daggerfall (which incidentally also ran on an engine Bethsoft made in-house: Xngine) have problems with savegame corruption. I really don't know what to make of that announcement. I'm mostly just hoping that they put as much emphasis on stability and debugging as they did on improved rendering capabilities.
