otherwise known as elder scrolls arena 4...but i wonder if borrowind 2
will apply as well.

i'm betting it will cripple whatever graphics card is top of the
line...it'll probably have individual grass blades that bend in the
wind, you'll be able to just get through the entire game kicking
monsters in the groin, it'll have realistic weather effects, but you
won't be able to move...at all..while its raining because your latest
gen nvidia card which was doing a relative brisk 23 fps will drop to 2
fps...but that's good though because the rain will look really really
ultra realistic...oh yeah and as an added unbonus you still won't be
able to see stilt-riders in motion or any other transportation..

i bet they'll even improve on the hyperlink conversations by the
inclusion of popup boxes that are pretty remeniescent of www popup
adds...and instead of the npcs berating you as you pass them in the
street, they'll each throw various things at you, provoking you into a
fight...if you so much as walk towards them ever guard in the town
will run you down and kill you...

yeah..i can't wait for borrowind 2. bring it on bethesda...make my
high tech hardware groan with poorly written code and make me groan
with tedious gameplay...you know we want it...

"Blahblicious" was an excellent piece of gaming humor at its time of
release.

Once one gets past the "attitude" in Blabbus' post he does make some
very good points.

Personaly I like a game that will look good 4 or 5 years from now. Ultima
has always pushed the envelope so why not Elder Scrolls? I think it is
unfair to critizie their code because they are creating a game that is on
the bleeding edge. But if they are indeed bad code jokeys perhaps you could
astound us all with some brilliant 3-d rendering that will make a world come
alive and run at 60 frames per second on a Pentium pro with a VooDoo 1 video
card.

The engine is terrible. Turn off pixel shading and the graphics look othing
special, but the engine is terribly, terribly optimised
