Tell me about it With the full FCOM Convergence experience, even the initial sewers are filled with new enemies and overall baddies population

Some of the dungeons become a bit too tough though, due to the no level scaling. Especially the Light of Dawn quest of OOO which pits you against the lord of all Vampires. He's a Level 50 bad-ass vampire with 8 Level 30 elite vampires surrounding him >_<

Dammit, I need this FCOM convergence thingy. It was quite a long time since I played OOO anyway. Time to start fresh.

But I have no time. So many other games I have to play.

Do you remember what version of OOO did you play? Because 1.33 added almost twice the content that version 1.31 and 1.32 had.

It's a shame that 1.34 got left in beta, since Jorge Oscuro went to work with Bethesda on Fallout New Vegas.

It was 1.33.

Oh. I always wondered when/if that guy would join the industry! Cool.

Yup, that's what got me massively interested on Fallout New Vegas. Hardcore mode in that game looks almost like it's his inspiration (the precepts of that mode are pretty similar to it's OOO concept in oblivion).

I hope that Bethesda keeps him around in case they decide to make ESV

I love open world games and WRPGS so I cant wait to hear more about this.

However, I do not like these trailers. They make me cringe.

But I am looking forward to this.

That's awesome!

The battle part of the video looked a lot like the opening scene of Demon's Souls though

This looks really exciting; a lot of interesting people getting involved. Hopefully it can live up to it's early hype; Rolston promised Oblivion but better, which is obviously a big ask.

And for the record, Dragon Age > Mass Effect :)

Did Rolston really say that? Maybe he meant the Big Huge Games RPG project which was canceled when they were aquired by 38 studios.

Then of course he still probably brought his vision over to 38 studios' Reckoning, but do you remember him saying that?

And yes, Dragon Age was fantastic. My GOTY 2009.

I'm sure I read him saying pretty much that in an interview shortly after Amalur was officially announced, probably a week or so ago. I think it was an IGN preview; he promised to take everything good from Oblivion and add it into everything else they're doing, especially combat improvements. Curt Shilling said to Joystiq they're looking to meld God of War with Oblivion. So...yeah, big promises!

Looks good, I'll add it to my wishlist, where open (or "open enough", at least) worlds rank quite high.
