The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion E3 Preview

The guys at Gamehelper have posted a brief preview of Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, after receiving a demonstration of the RPG during this year’s E3. Check it out:

The stealth gameplay was also showcased as being newly revamped for this edition. The stealth gameplay seemed more fun and intuitive now, with the stealth icon being centered over the player’s crosshairs, rather than shoved down in the corner of the screen. With this new system, Howard was able to skulk around and pick off goblins with well-placed arrows to the neck. He also showed off another trap that the goblins had set near one of their campsites (complete with a rat roasting on a spit). Howard admonished the goblins’ stupidity at standing close enough to their trap that they would be caught if it got set off. And set it off he did. Three blocks of wood with spikes thrust through them swung down from the ceiling suspended by chains and caught the poor goblins by surprise. The goblins didn’t survive.
