"Housing coming post-launch. It won’t make the release day, but the devs were sure to remind us that it will come after launch and is a priority of theirs."
woot woot, now this is news! I can hardly contain my excitement, think I'll pre-order the CE now!
Also of special interest is:
Soul Gems are back, and will take a significant role in the form of crafting and enhancing items. They were usable in our build, but we were told they were still very much Work in Progress.
Crafting materials are everywhere and you’ll find them in barrels, shelves, boxes, and so forth just as you would in any TES game. You can steal from homes, and possibly even NPCs. Which leads us to…
The “Morality” system is targeted for launch, but might come after with the “Thieves Guild”.
Combat is very much akin to recent TES games (Oblivion, Morrowind). There are normal and power attacks, blocking, and you will need to aim at your target to hit them.
Skills level up too. On that same note, every class skill or spell has its own leveling path too, and gets better with use. At a certain point you can choose between two “morphs” of that skill, effectively changing what it does. And when you want to switch to the other form of a skill, you can as long as you’re out of combat.
I have to say it's looking very good from my point of view, much better than I anticipated.
