I feel like a lot of this stuff is what Todd Howard has been trying to do with Elder Scrolls.Well I certainly won't have the production value or graphics quality of those games!
A difference (at least in my mind) is that this game has less structure and is designed to be played many times. Instead of it being Skyrim with a more dynamic background, it's Civilization/grand strategy in first-person. At the moment I'm not sure if the game should have quests or story content.
