2) It will be live aware for Xbox 360 users.
3) It will have HD for both versions. (PC and Xbox 360)
4) It will not be multiplayer.
5) It will feature acutal trap and not just spell-traps.
6) It contains over 400 books.
7) The land-mass is larger than Morrowind's.

-It will have more than 200 dungeons
-The main quest will be approximately 30 hours
-Houses will be purchasable

-(conjecture) It will take place 26 years after Morrowind

For the basis on that last one, check out the Third Era Timeline. Uriel took the throne in 3E388. Add 65 years to that and it's 3E453 when the Emperor gives that speech in the trailer. 453-427=26.

Ahem, the mainquest will take about 30 hours if you rush through it.

So in other words, expect it to last for at least 30 hours.

[Rane]

I guess that will be possible...

Show me a quote I don't think that has been confirmed. It said in an interview there would be 5 main factions, that doesn't mean only 5 factions.

[quote]The team is also focused on creating a world that's interesting enough that the player would want to take sides. The game's factions are much more polarized this time around and they include options as diverse as the Fighters' and Mages' Guild who are generally good, the Thieves Guild, which is generally bad, and the Dark Brotherhood, which is really evil. The Nine Divines lets the player become a monk, while the Arena Guild obviously focuses on gladiatorial combat. All of these factions have their own stories and intrigues and contain enough stuff to do that by themselves they'd probably fill a whole separate game. Putting them together ensures that no matter how much time the player spends in the game, there will always be some choices passing by that they'll want to come back and try later.

Edit: And Hukai, instead of posting the list again everytime just edit the first post as Epy suggested.

No, it means that there will be downloadable content for the X-Box 360 version.

Probably meaning official mods and patches.

oh i get it..that will be a really good improvement, being able to download patches and such, hopefully the xbox360 wont have the same problem as the old one whenever the game got too many blocks (i dont think it will)

[Lucidarius]

1) Radiant AI (with NPCs remembering you and your actions when you return, and with fame rating influencing prices and quests)
2) Killing NPCs important to MQ results in forcing you to reload last save
3) Armor weakens spells
4) One (1) ending to MQ regardless of how you play

[vaanic~one]

also, long blade and short blade skills will now only be one skill. Thank God.

Crap. No more stealing. Maybe with disintegrate armor/weapon, if that spell exists in Oblivion............

[Leraje]

-- you will only be able to have a limited number of potion effects at a time depending on your alchemy skill
-- no more die roll for melee combat (thank God!!)
-- you'll be able to quick-travel to places you've been before (though I don't recommend skipping the beautiful scenery )

[Thanatos522]

The game will take place 6 years after MW.

[graygod44]

- Block is manually controlled this time
- Effective block can disarm opponent

[Thanatos522]

Magic will have it's own button so there is no more ready magic and will be casted with a free hand orr weapon hand if both hands are used.
