I just saw a list of games that Bethesda previewed at E3. They are
releasing two games set in the Elder Scrolls world. Neither of them are
RPGs. One is an adventure and the other is an Action/Rpg. This is a joke. They hit big with a CRPG, so instead of working on a sequel to Daggerfall, they go adventure/action on us!
Sir-tech is even a bigger joke. They have a huge line up of games coming
out and none of the are CRPGS. Some of these titles are really laughable as well.They claim that WIZ 8 wont be ready till the fourth quarter of 1998. Considering that Wizardry built that company, you think that it would be a higher priority.

Funny, I think of Oblivion and Skyrim much ore action-adventure games than rpgs.

Bethesda is not abdonding RPGs. TES3 is coming..it's just a long way
off. REDGUARD may not be an RPG, but I garuantee it will have loads of features that you'll want to see in future TES'. Full 3D characters,
with real personalities and things they do. Hand crafted landscapes with
real things to go out and find. No random, wish you were really doing something important, wish people would say "hi" world in REDGUARD. And
it's not a pure "adventure". It is a complete hybrid. It's actually structured a lot like an Ultima and is very very open. What does a real fantasy town feel like and what is it like to run right out of it and
climb into the mountains and stumble upon some dwarven ruins? You'll see
in REDGUARD. This is one experience that Daggerfall (imho) was missing.

Just from thisTod's reply we can see that already in mid-to-late 90s Pathesda lost interested in making CRPGs with STORIES and LORE and actual ROLE PLAYING. All they really want is to make open world theme parks where you "run out" and immediately
stumble into some location. God forbid the player has to spend more than 5 minutes walking or doing something else. I wish they'd stopped making games after Daggerfall. They completely rui9one their legacy.
