    I wouldn’t really call it “hype” though. He’s just saying he’s happy with its overall behavior. That doesn’t sound half as bad as promising features that simply aren’t there.

      It’s not new, it’s just significantly revamped.

      Seems like they completely reprogrammed the visuals part of it but the part responsible for gameplay looks largely the same.

        Well that’s cool I guess. Though to be honest visuals are the last thing I look at in Bethesda games. Gimme that huge sandbox world (or should I say universe) with many things to do, places to go and people to talk to, all tied up together by fun RPG mechanics
