What You Still Haven't "Heard" about Oblivion: Part 1Listen to the source of all the articles you've been reading.

Every E3 article about Oblivion that you've read has had a single cannon at its source -- that being the small-theatre demo hosted by Todd Howard which was shown off hourly to lucky press-pass holders. Now, they weren't allowing cameras to roll, but my minidisc and mic got a thumbs up from Pete Hines. After reviewing it, Todd's commentary is a bit echo-ey and not as crisp as I'd like. However, I decided that in the fan's shoes, I'd be willing to turn my speakers up and strain a bit to share in the experience. I've split what I recorded into two digestible mp3's, which will come out in two parts. Below, you'll find some notes to help with the mental pictures. You can get the mp3 for Part 1
here.
0:40 - The screen at this point features a title screen that has a closer resemblance to a DVD menu screen than a typical game intro screen. Imagine a tasteful parchment-colored background hosting video of castles from the game. Throw in some graphic design and the Oblivion logo and you'll have a pretty good mental image. You also get a taste of the music that I don't think they're talking about just
yet.
2:00 - Remember the screenshot with the wooden door and the glossy, wet stone walls? We'll that's where we are. Todd's showing off the physics. Swinging a chain looks cool, but when it swings into the other chains causing them to wrap around each other and sway and come apart, a few mouths go agape.
3:40 - After walking up to the door and looking out the gated window, the King and an escort can be seen in the periphery. The guard yells at the player to back up and they all walk into the cell
5:40 - The camera zooms in to the kings face and fixes itself there. Dialogue options are listed at the bottom and resemble more of a dialogue tree than the single word or phrase responses featured in Morrowind.
6:10 - This clip ends with the king and his entourage absconding through a secret passage. The player is left to follow and when he does our demo bypasses character creation and drops us into a forest.
6:40 – Picture any of the screenshots that you've seen of a forest so far. Now imagine it moving with the breeze. Most impressing was when the character looks up and the tree canopy overhead is softly swaying.
7:40 – When Todd picks some red mushrooms off the base of a tree, a message appears at the top which says something to the effect of "mushroom successfully gathered." This opens up a lot of fun speculation about whether the alchemy skill will actually affect one's ability to gather ingredients this time around.
8:00 – The controversial compass makes its debut at this point and it reveals the differences in the minds of gamers when we think of a compass. Many games label a feature a "compass" when it's really radar that reveals the map with little blips displaying monsters and loot. This compass is more of an old-school approach and is just a simple bar that spins to show the cardinal direction the character is facing. As the bar spins, icons show up to reveal something of interest in that direction. After seeing the density of the forests, it's easy to see why this would be useful (unless you role-play a Ranger-type that has phenomenal direction-sense or a character with no direction-sense that just gets lost in the woods a lot).
That ends Part 1 of the audio demo. If you enjoyed this, you'll definitely want to come back for Part 2 where you'll get to hear all about interacting with the other characters in the world and how the Radiant AI system manages them.
Если есть желающие скоопирироваться и перевести диалоги вступление - милости прошу =)
Вот парочка фраз перевел (для быстроты без словоря, так что непонятные фразу порезал), остальное у кого есть время, переведите:
Женский голос (похоже кто-то из клинков Императора - Ж): Форес, закрой за нами дверь.
Мужской (Стражник - С1): Да, сер!
Император (И): Мои дети... они уже мертвы...
Ж: Мы в этом еще не уверены, господин. Посыльный поведал мне, что на них напали...
И: Нет,... они мертвы... я знаю
Ж: В данный момент, мой Долг это доставить Вас в безопасное месте...
И: Я знаю это место! Тюрьма?
Ж: Да, ваше величество... Здесь начинается секретный проход известный только Клинкам, никто не последует за нами сюда... что... Что здесь делает этот заключенный? Здесь никого не должно быть!
... перемотал ...
И: Ты! Я видел тебя! Дай мне взглянуть на твое лицо. Ты тот, из моих снов. Звезды были правы, это тот день... Боги, дайте мне силу. Убийцы напали на моих сыновей и я буду следующим. Мои Клинки пытаются вывести меня из города потайным путем. Мой шанс и вход на потайной ход ведет в твою камеру...
Позже на офф форуме нашел в текстовом виде.
Цитата:
Woman : Horis lock that door behind us.
Man : Yes sir !
Emperor : My sons... They're dead are'nt they.
Woman : We dont know that sire, the messenger only said they were attacked.
Emperor : No, they're dead. I know it.
Woman : My job right now is to get you to safety.
Emperor : I know this place. The prison.
Woman : Yes your Majesty. Beneath the legion compound. We are headed for a secret passage known only to the blades. No one can follow us through here. What's this prisoner doing here ? This cell is supposed to be off-limits.
Man : Usual mix up with the watch. I...
Woman : Nevermind. Stand back, prisoner. We won't hesitate to kill you if you get in our way.
Man : Prisoner, stand away from the door ! over by the window, now !
Man : No sign of pursuit, sir.
Woman : Good. Let's go, we are not alone yet.
Man : Stay put prisoner.
Emperor : You... I have seen you... Let me see your face. Your are the one from my dreams. Then the stars were right. This is the day. Gods give me strength.
Emperor : Assassins attacked my sons and I am next. My Blades are leading me out of the city on a secret excape route. By chance, the entrance from that escapement leads in your cell.
Emperor : I am your Emperor, Uriel Septim. By the bless of the Gods, I serve Tamriel as her ruler. you are a citizen of Tamriel and you too shall serve her in your own way. You will find your own path. Take care, there will be blood and death before the end.
Woman : Please sire, we must keep moving.
Woman : Do not close this one there is no way to open it from the other side.
Man : Looks like it is your lucky day. Just stay out of our way.

Хотелось бы убедиться, что это обман не только моего зрения.
