The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Interview

Game Chronicles Magazine has conducted an interview with Bethesda’s Todd Howard, in which the lead designer answers quite a few questions about the fourth highly anticipated Elder Scrolls installment. Check it out:

Q: Are you planning on including features that were found in Daggerfall but left out of Morrowind, like banks, mounts, wagons, or the ability to climb or buy/own a ship or a house?

A: We’ve added a lot of new features, including some you mention. We’ve brought back the fast travel map to allow you to instantly travel to any location you already know about, and there are mounts you can buy and use for traveling (on foot) more quickly. Yes, there will be houses you can buy in each major town where you can keep all of your stuff. At the same time, we spent a lot of time and energy on (features) that people do and experience all the time in our games: talking to people, killing stuff, NPC AI, etc. We wanted to do some new things in these areas to make the overall experience more enjoyable. More time having fun and less (down time.)
