So how do you keep the more random quests, found by exploring, interesting despite the fact that only a few players may stumble across them?

In Morrowind, it was sometimes hard to stay with the quest you were on as you were trying to do it, much less if you took a right turn in the middle of nowhere to check out a dungeon. I actually think more people got into the freeform aspect in Oblivion rather than Morrowind, because the quests are so much easier to get back to and keep track of. You have a main quest and faction quests and all these other quests you know you can come back to and they're easy to pick up where you left off, so you're more comfortable with going to wander for a bit and see what's out there. I actually think the strong narrative and core story play a vital role in that. From a design point of view how do you marry this sense of freedom with a strong narrative and a core story? One of the joys of Oblivion (and Morrowind) is wandering off the beaten track, seeing what is over that hill or round the corner. There should be no question to anyone whether you're playing the original game or the expansion, there's never any confusion which is which.

Given that it's the realm of the daedric prince of madness, it's pretty easy to go a bit 'crazy' with the visuals and still have it feel like it should. More than anything it was an effort to make something that felt very new and fresh. Was this a conscious effort to go back to the more way-out look of Morrowind? The environment seems a lot more outlandish than Oblivion. It's a fair comment, but the challenge is to try to make a game that allows you to go wherever you want and do whatever you want while also making sure that you can actually do something there. We only level up boss creatures in certain cases, so it's not something that happens all the time. You do see different creatures based on what level you are, but they don't level to your level.

What are your thoughts on this and why was this designed into the game? Talking of leveling, there has been some criticism about the leveling structure in Oblivion, with some players annoyed that their enemies level when they do. So a new character could jump straight in, though perhaps have a slightly tougher go of it. Well, it's designed for folks that have been playing Oblivion, but it's not a requirement. Shivering Isles has tons of new content, new world, new main quest, items, creatures, etc.Ĭan new characters jump straight in or is this high-level characters only? I guess you could call that splitting hairs, but we view them very differently.

It really isn't downloadable content, it's a full expansion for Oblivion that happens to be availableas a download.
