Today, we're introducing the lord of vermin, the master of pestilence: the Daedra Prince Peryite. Check him out in the library page

Two updates today:

- Alexander has added a new chapter of the story of Trey, as well as the story of Gaenor by Shrax

- I've added Darkwing's latest work, a really terrifying zombie right out of the depth of the Crypt of Hearts

Enjoy

Today's update consists of three new screenshots and a new team diary link. Check it out

And for all those living in Germany, be sure to grab the new issue of the Gamestar magazine on wednesday the 23rd: from what I've read, it's packed to the brim with Oblivion goodness!

Ok, just added a new Daedra Prince intro feature with Hircine, go check it out

Ive added the first chapter of Sudhendra Vahl to the site and a nice short story the Knight and the Lady by General Edor Crespin

I've just added a summary of the GameStar article. I think it's most exciting, containing many new details about the game and all. So check it out

This week's featured Daedra Prince is Mehrunes Dagon, the Daedric Prince of Destruction. Since he's very likely gonna be in TES4: Oblivion, you should definitely check him out

It's the first of the month again, and that means the developer quotes get updated: Dracan sent in 18 new quotes, and I just added them. Enjoy

As promised earlier, we have a special feature for you: Morganthefay went through the GameStar's video interview and took it apart bit by bit, pixel by pixel. Then she put it back together and took it apart again. The result is a very thorough report on everything that can be seen in it. She saw a lot of things I didn't, and interesting ones, too. So I hope you enjoy it

Today, we have 7 new screenshots for you. Yes, you read right! 7. If you're an honest soul, they'll be new to you. Otherwise, you may have already seen them by googling around and getting to certain european sites, but no matter. As far as I know, only we have them with full descriptions of what you actually see on them, so you don't have to speculate if what you're seeing is Chorrol or Skingrad. Hope you enjoy them a lot even though the quality is not super.

7 new Screenshots

I've added several new stories, the entire Ahnaressu's travels so far and the newest chapters of both the Tale of Sudhendra Vahl and the Story of Trey

so have fun reading

After being on hiatus for a while, the Daedra Feature returns with an update: this week, we're introducing Meridia, Daedric Princess of Life. Not much is known about this mysterious princess, so we can claim 100% full coverage on this one! Enjoy!

On Meridia, Daedric Princess of Life

As of today, Waiting4Oblivion has had more than 100,000 page views since 12/30/2004. On behalf of the editors, contributors and moderators of W4O, I'd like to thank all of you for your interest in the site.

today I've added A new story to the site, Shades of Doom, writtin by deadyawn some time ago, and a great read.

I've also uploaded the latest chapter of the Tale of Sudhendra Vahl.

hope you have fun

Sorry about being so late this week with our Daedra feature, but we had some technical issues to sort out. But I can assure you, it was well worth the way. This week's Daedric Prince -Silann- is probably one of the most dangerous and evil Daedric Princes, and according to our sources within Bethesda Softworks, he will be in TES4: Oblivion. So make sure you read up and inform yourself about this abysmal creature!

We also have a link to an interview by Evil Avatar

And yesterday, I have updated the Fan Art and Screenshot pages.

Enjoy!

It took a little longer this time around, but we finally updated the developer quotes for the month of march. It's such an incredible amount of quotes that we had to open up a second page. Just look at how much MrSmileyFaceDude has told us, it's simply amazing!

Updated Developer Quotes

A very small update now, we've added a link to our chat channel, so if you ever feel like it, come on in:
Waiting4Oblivion Chat

This week's Daedric Prince update features Azura, Daedric Princess of Dusk and Dawn. I'm pretty sure you've heard of her, so without further ado:

Azura, Deadric Princess of Dusk and Dawn

I have to say, Darkwing once again out-performed himself. A little warning: Azura likes the fresh air on her skin, so if you're sensitive to that, just skip the picture.

Morgan's incredible new feature

A new upload to the fiction section, two new chapters of Sudhendra and one part of treydaog.

I'm hoping to upload more this weekend.

Yet another upload, this time Serene of Cyrodiil has been added to the fan fiction page

This week's featured Daedra Prince:

Sanguine, Daedric Prince of Depravity!

Enjoy!

Today, we open a new part of our Library section: the Bestiary. There, we will present and describe all monsters, animals and creatures that you will encounter in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. While all descriptions are being researched and written by Sinder Velvin, Ambberfox provides the illustrations. We hope you enjoy this new section of Waiting4Oblivion.com, and we'll start it all off with an old "friend":

Elder Scrolls Bestiary: the Giant Rat

Time for another update to our Daedra Prince feature: This week, we bring you the bloodthirsty and vicious Mephala, Daedric Prince of Murder. Enjoy!

Mephala, Daedric Prince of Murder

Our second Elder Scrolls Bestiary entry is the troll. Now, just like the troll you find on forums, this kind also does keep coming back. But they're not unbeatable. Learn how to fight and defeat them! Enjoy!

Elder Scrolls Bestiary: the Troll

Alright, today, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) starts, and today, Bethesda will probably release their Elder Scrolls: Oblivion trailer - the good version, not that horrible handycam recording seen elsewhere.

As you know, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion will be demoed on the E3, so we decided we had to be there to cover it for you and to return with as much info and footage as we can get away with. Now, we won't be allowed to record any in-game material, but we can and will report on what we think of the demo, as well as ask the developers a lot of questions.

All of this will be covered on Waiting4Oblivion as well as on the Morrowind Summit. The following link will be updated at least once a day with reports of what we have seen. Expect pictures and/or videos when we return next week.

Exclusive E3 Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Coverage

a new update to the site, I've just added a FAQ, written by our moderator Rane here. it's a great one

http://www.waiting4oblivion.com/faq.html

now we have the interviews taken at the E3 as well

can be found here:
http://www.waiting4oblivion.com/feature_e3...interviews.html

It's been a while since we last updated the developer quotes, mostly due to the fact that we had our hands full with other matters. But we have not forgotten them! So here's the latest batch as gathered and catalogued of Dracan and Epyon. Enjoy!

TES:Oblivion Developer Quotes April 2005

Our third Elder Scrolls Bestiary entry is the minotaur. Half man, half bull, this creature scared many an adventurer in Elder Scrolls: Arena with it's meat cleaver and it's dark, deep howl. We do not have a lot of information on the creature, but at least we got a beautiful picture! Enjoy!

Elder Scrolls Bestiary: the Minotaur

Stargelman has just uploaded the E3 pics I made.

check them out here:
http://www.waiting4oblivion.com/feature_e3...005_photos.html

This week, we present many an adventurer's old friend: a deadly creature that has killed many promising young adventurers: the Giant Spider. Enjoy!

Elder Scrolls Bestiary: the Giant Spider

This week, we present to you Namira, Daedric Prince of Ancient Darkness. Her sphere doesn't seem so pleasant, seeing how she is associated with repulsive creatures... Enjoy!

Namira, Daedric Prince of Ancient Darkness

We're proud to report that from now on, Waiting4Oblivion.com will run on it's very own webserver with it's very own 10mbit uplink. The main site has been moved, and the new Invision board has been activated. There should not be any of the problems we had the last time, as those were caused by faulty hardware on another server. If anything does go wrong or isn't working, we'll appreciate it if you let us know. Otherwise.... enjoy!

We've finally updated our Mod Projects page with three The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion modding projects which -naturally- are all currently in their planning stages. As new projects emerge, they will be added to this page which shall become a comprehensive directory. Hopefully, this will provide these projects with additional volunteers and wo/man-power. Enjoy!

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Mod Projects

This week, we present to you Clavicus Vile, the Daedric Prince of the Granting of Powers and Wishes. Experience from Daggerfall and Redguard teaches us to be suspicious of his gifts, for they have a tendency to betray their owners... Darkwing has really outperformed himself this time illustrating this Daedra, so enjoy!

Clavicus Vile, Daedric Prince of the Granting of Powers and Wishes

We've just updated our Elder Scrolls: Oblivion screenshots. Not all of the screenshots added are new, but the ones that aren't are higher-res versions of those that're on the official site, so they're still worth checking out. Enjoy!

At long last, another batch of quotes have found their way into our archives of developer posts by way of the gathering and catalouging work started by Dracan. Behold, the splendor that is words of the "creators" sharing with us their informed views on what we await - Oblivion! These last few months have been good on the fans on this front, and it doesn't stop here. For now, enjoy the latest batch of quotes, stretching from May to July.

TES:Oblivion Developer Quotes May 1st - June 30th 2005

At long last, we've added the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion trailer to Waiting4Oblivion.com. You can download it in full quality from here now.

We also added a gallery with screenshots from the trailer to which we added a few comments, some of which you may find interesting: for example, in one of the screenshots, you can actually see an elven power crystal!

Yesterday we've updated several chapters into the fan fiction section, as well as added a new story, Poisonous Gardens,

so far we have the first chapter of that.

you can expect more to come soon.

We're pleased to announce the addition of a new section to our developer quote archives: The offsite posts!
To fully substantiate our repositories, we seek and appreciate all material in their respective values and origins - the developers at Bethesda, and we acknowledge that potentially valuable posts/information is found not only in the usual or obvious places by expanding the scope with this new page. The "offsite posts" section will be updated syncronous with the regular archives, given a substantial ammount of material. It will house all developer quotes gathered from sources beyond the official ES forums.

Although dominated by a single entity right now, we have already seen a massive ammount of interesting revelations and views in these posts, so giving them a read is highly recommended.
The current batch stretches from Febuary to the end of July.

TES:Oblivion Offsite Developer - Quotes Febuary - August 2005

We have just added two new fan-made wallpapers to our collection. Seeing how this part of Waiting4Oblivion has been very popular as of late, yet not very active, we'd like to encourage everyone to send in their contributions. Do not be alarmed if we do not answer your email immediately, as we do have our hands full at the moment.

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Fan-made Wallpapers

On a different note, I'd like to draw your attention to a quote made by Bethesda's MrSmileyFaceDude regarding forced reloading. In May, we have brought you two interviews with Bethesda Developers, in which it was revealed that players would have to reload a saved game after killing one of the main-quest relevant NPCs. This has now been relativated: it seems that even though you are indeed presented with a savegame loading screen in such circumstances, you do not have to reload. Thanks to everyone who's borught this to our attention.

RPGCodex Forums discussion regarding forced reloading with MSFD quote

Well, it is about time. Finally, someone managed to score a picture of at least parts of the user interface used in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. The Washington Post is that someone, and the picture also comes with a few background infos, mostly about company politics, yadda yadda. Anyway, You can even see the much-discussed compass - it's that little square Todd Howard is pointing at with his right index finger (not that round thing in the upper right corner!). Enjoy!

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion article in the Washington Post

Rane added this to the main page yesterday:

The Interviews and articles page has been updated to include the recently published interview with Pete Hines by The Console Wars. So make haste and visit the Interviews page to find this newest addition to the list.

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion interviews and articles

It's been a while since our last Daedra feature update, but here it finally is: Nocturnal, Daedric Prince of Night and Darkness. Read about her and learn that she's called The Unfathomable for a good reason.

Two more to go, and they're real highlights, so stay tuned and enjoy!

Nocturnal, Daedric Prince of Night and Darkness

Remember last year in November, when a group of people organized at the official TES: Oblivion forum gathered questions for their own fan interview and submitted them to Bethesda Softworks?

Well, it happened again, and let me tell you, there's no finer source of information out there! Again, fellow fans have poured unending amounts of effort into it, and again, Bethesda has honoured it by answering every question! Enjoy - I know I did!

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Fan Interview 2

2005-08-28 - Sunday Mega Update
line

Today, we have three updates for you. The first is an update to our Elder Scrolls Bestiary which has been dormant for a while now. Rest assured though that we're back on track and from now on, we pledge to update it more regularily.

The new creature for this week is an old friend we met in many an Elder Scrolls game: the Frost Atronach. Read Sinder Velvins description of those ice-cold rascals and gaze upon Ambberfox slendid rendition thereof, and enjoy!

The Elder Scrolls Bestiary: The Frost Atronach

Our second item for today is the grand opening of the website of a Elder Scrolls: Oblivion modding project hosted by Waiting4Oblivion, Faerun-TC. These guys have been working on it real hard and I think it's great. I hope their mod will turn out equally good!

The Faerun Total Conversion Mod Project for Oblivion

Finally, we have two new screenshots for you that have recently been released by the good people of Bethesda Softworks. While one of them should contain something already familiar to everyone who's seen the trailer, the second one is a real gem. Enjoy!
