Will Oblivion include multiplayer?
No, Oblivion is a single-player game only. Rather than split our focus between two different types of gameplay, we'd rather focus on one and make it the best single-player experience possible.

Both. The game is meant to be played first person. However, you can toggle the view with the press of a button/key. Both views are available throughout the entire game.

The TES CS will be available to download for the PC version. It will not be available for the Xbox 360.

Does the story in Oblivion pick up where Morrowind ended?
No, each chapter of the Elder Scrolls series is a different story unto itself and isn't directly connected to any of the other storylines. All of it adds to the lore and history of The Elder Scrolls, but you don't have to play previous games to know what's going on in this one.

I have lots of ideas and questions, where do I send them?
We encourage you to register on our official forums and post your ideas and questions in the Oblivion section, where our fans and developers share and discuss ideas and answer questions about the game and what they'd like to see.

All the screenshots are 100% authentic screenshots taken while playing the game.

Where can I get more information on the game?
Continually visit our website and check our previews and interviews sections. Information will slowly be revealed on the game until it is released.

Of course this just happens to be an extremely busy week for me, so I guess I'll be playing it only next weekend <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

It should be avaible right now, but i guess that everyone who has bought the game is currently playing it. For me, i just have to wait on my new computer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

You are not alone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Haven't played Morrowind yet, for the same reason. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
