Starfield Will Update One of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion’s Mechanics
A new Starfield dev diary revealed that the Oblivion persuasion minigame has been updated and included in Starfield’s dialogue systems.
“We sat down and it was funny [because] we didn’t start with “let’s look back at the old Oblivion system”, but there are a couple of hits there. You should be thinking, “What is my risk here? Which one do I want to choose? We didn’t want it to be a system where you could definitely say the right thing.”
“It looks like you’re having a conversation where you’re actually trying to convince someone of something,” said game director Todd Howard. “In terms of the new system dialogue, I think it’s definitely one of the most successful we’ve had.”
