Technically.... all of them... in the first game: Elder Scrolls: Arena.

Don't think you'll want to play it though; it's very old school (1994) and horribly unforgiving early on. The first dungeon alone is a nightmare to get through.

The game is huge though and covers all of Tamriel. I think it was too big though and they couldn't pack the game with enough content so it got a bit repetitive (going from other user comments and the devs- I haven't played it anywhere near enough).

If they ever do cover all Tamriel again, I think they'll probably try and do it as an MMO and gradually open up areas as it gains popularity. It's the only way I can think it'd work with advanced graphics.

Personally, I want them to do Akavir...the races there and the stories you read about the flora and fauna sound interesting.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Now I know bugs exist in Bethesda games (believe me.. I know..) But I have never played one that has been considered incomplete, had multiple game breaking bugs (I had 4 of them in obsidian's new vegas) Or where the beggining is so slow. In fact, I rmember KOTOR 2 and New vegas having a very similar slow beggining where I was naked because I couldn't find any good armor worth using.. Pretty much, Bethesda consistently delivers fun games. Odsidian delivers.. Buggier & worse sequels.

What I'm saying is that they ain't even in the same league.

I think you're misremembering several things.  First, and this may just be because you're really lucky, but several Bethesda games have come out with game-breaking bugs.  They've been patched over since release, but I assure you they were there at release time.  Just check the tech support forums for their games, and see what complaints folks had about their titles: they're eerily similar to what people are saying about New Vegas.

As for the rest of your post, I respectfully disagree.  I like Bethesda games just fine, and there are a few things they do better than Obsidian does, but overall Obsidian's plot, characters, and quests are all much, much more to my tastes than Bethesda's.  Obviously your mileage varies, but I feel comfortable saying that there is a large contingent of people who feel like I do. 

Finally, if you couldn't find decent weapons or armor in New Vegas within a short period, then you probably weren't looking very hard.   The excellent Reinforced Leather Armor comes to you easily after modest exploration, you can get Metal Armor from the Vipers just south of Primm, good Medium armor can be taken from Powder Gangers or NCR troops, etc.  Were you expecting to get Power Armor within the hour or something?

True, but we can't assume that they'll stick to what they've described.  After all, Cyrodiil is supposed to be endless jungle, which is NOT what we got in Oblivion.  Plus, the series has a habit of being metaphorical in some of its descriptions of past events: judging from their armor and the Akavir undead found in Oblivion, the Akavir were basically humans, not the beast folk they're described as.



im excited as hell, if it has move support il shit my pants.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Oh yeah!, that will gurantee both versions of PC and PS3 being bought by me



For sure, WRPG is one of my favorite genres.  I just recently started playing Oblivion again and have already sunk 40 hours into it without even touching the main quest line...



dunno if you're still talking about it, but GameBryo is not simply a game engine to which they add content, just because they're calling it a "brand new engine" it doesn't mean they're dropping GameBryo. and the bugs in their games may be caused by sloppy programming and not by GameBryo itself. even with UnrealEngine you have games that use the engine correctly and others, like The Last Remnant for example, which are an absolute mess.

you can also obviosuly reuse stuff that is working even with a "brand new engine", I don't really see them switching the whole engine.



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

200 hours of awesomness reserved.



Is it 11-11-11 already?

No?

Man, its taking a long time.

Show us some gameplay already.

PS - That is the first teaser trailer I truly enjoy. Max Von Sydow's narration, the moving images on the wall, the music..... CANT WAIT!!!
