XG: How much does Oblivion differ from past titles such as Morrowind? What has the 360 offered you compared to the Xbox?

It might be better to share with you how Oblivion is similar to Morrowind, since each time we essentially start from scratch with each new chapter in the series. We think it’s important for each title to able to stand on its own and with new technology, like the 360, we really have the opportunity to make each game completely independent. The 360 has allowed us to add features that simply weren’t possibly on the Xbox…like the ability to run procedurally generated landscapes, apply Havok physics to every single object in the game, use the Radiant AI system on over 1,000 NPCs - all of this with amazing graphics; these are just a few of the things the Xbox 360 has been able to support - things that previous generation consoles were simply incapable of.
