If they want scary zombies, they should grab the redead from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Those were utterly terrifying.

Oh man...

Anything that tough that moves that fast and CLINGS TO YOUR FACE AND BITES YOU, would be awesome. It would be cool for bethesda to move away from the formula mosters. You know, the  I'm a troll, I regenerate and hit you with my fists. I'm an imp, I toss minor spells at you and claw in the face when you get close. I'm a wolf I inflict minor wounds with my jaws. Going Dungeons and dragons in the, you've been swallowed by a giant toad time to hack your way out sense would be pretty cool.

Jesus Christ, just not anything that clings to the player! I had the misfortune of playing The Force Unleashed 2, and it had these really annoying little droids that latch onto you and you have to wiggle the left controller stick to shake them off. With their ever tighter focus on consoles, I could totally see Bethsoft doing something like that, and that would truly be horrifying, but not in a good way.

[Draignean]

You're right, if it you had to do the whole Imma be bellerina crap to get it off that would be uncool. If you get to try and stab whatever-the-heck- on you it might work better. Actually prying a wolf's jaws from your leg would be undeniably awesome if they implemented it right though. (Single click strength test, not the my mouse is in pieces clicky crap either)

Please be careful what you wish for. This is 2011. It would wind up being quicktime event based!

Shhhh! Don't give them ideas!

I just want to say this: that Ancestor Ghost is definitely, not a Crook.

Screenshots look nice. I don't give a crap really if the graphics are better than Oblivion as long as people don't look too freakish. But as nice as pine forests and decidious forests are, would it really be so hard to have artists come up with more inventive and original landscapes? I dunno, just look at trees from around the world for weird ideas, or just come up with fantastical plants and rock formations. At least try to make it look like a place that doesn't exist on earth.

[Shadowlord]

See, now that you've said that, we're going to end up with The Elder Scrolls VI: Moonrim next, set on one both of Nirn's Moons, where you'll be able to see both Nirn and the other moon in the sky. It'll be set another 200 years in the future, and you'll be at an Akaviri lunar base with magic air shields holding the air in and magic sailing ships which sail between the moons and Nirn.

Also, half the characters will refer to Nirn as "Tamriel."

I thought Skyrim was modeled after this sort of climate? Morrowind was made to have a sort of alien environment, but the mainland has a lot more traditional monsters on it. I understand the want for weird stuff, but I kinda accepted that these areas have stuff like this.
 Hemmerfell and Black Marsh are the places to go for weird things.

That's one of the things that annoys me about most of the RPGs out there...

We've got a terrific variety of flora here on earth.  And some pretty wacky fauna, too.  But, for some reason, every wilderness winds up looking like some generic pine forest sprinkled with bears and wolves and the occasional supernatural critter.

How about some hardwood forests?  Or maybe you could model your pine trees after some real pine trees, and we could at least get some variation to the trees.  Or we could do some taiga, or some nice rolling hills, or some tundra, or some eroded badlands, or a real desert, how about a genuinely tropical rainforest, or some real swamps?

Sure...  There's some variation from one game to the next...  And, in something like an MMOG, some variation from one area to the next...  But it really seems like most of the fantasy RPGs out there are just obsessed with forests full of generically-pine-looking trees.

This would be easier to swallow if they hadn't watered down environments before to make development easier (see: Cyrodil).

and wolves. and deers. ok, you can't get werewolves without wolves. but deers... and deer hunters, how unimaginative.

we need werevowels! and some sort of economy based on something loreish, not the standard apple pies and deer pelts stuff.

[PTTG??]

I'd play Moonrim to DEATH. It'd probably be Dwemer, or magically portalized.

Masser (I think that's the large one) probably has an atmosphere. It could pretty easily be earth-sized. You could even have lunar vegitation that gives it the red hue...

Tamriel is supposed to have all sorts of weres besides werewolves. I recall a book in Daggerfall mentioning something like wereavians, among other things. You even got to actually fight wereboars.
