yeah theres some news in the bethesda's forum, in case anyone hasn't seen it heres a summary:
*it will touch upon Romance, Sex, Homosexuality, Nudity, Prostitution, Slavery, Cannibalism, Children, drugs, addictions, among the lines of fallout 1. (specially upon slavery, children and drugs)
*no child-killing, no quest-related-NPC killing (like oblivion they "pass-out")
*your crimes are only known to those of the faction involved, towns count as "factions"
*power armor reduces AGILITY, there are clothes available (some modify your skills)
*No game editor at time of game release (THIS SUCKS), nothing's certain but it may be released eventually
*fast travel works like in oblivion, i.e. you instantly disappear and reappear wherever you decided to go. (I hadn't thought about this before, but it certainly sucks. The dotted line traveling across the map would've been so simple to implement... besides this means random encounters only occur when you travel by foot)
*in regards to weapons, skill affects how much it wobbles on screen and how much damage you do. gun condition affects the damage you do and how often it jams while reloading.
*traits and perks have been MERGED. and you gain them every level (lvl 20 is max level)
*at character creation you can modify your face , skin color, hair style and color, TONS of beard styles. no scars, no nuthin' else.
*party-joining NPCs will be colorful with great backstory/personality (I certainly hope so, oblivion didnt even have any companion NPCs)
*when you crouch you sneak, (I always hated this of morrowind and oblivion).
*no weather, no sandtorms no nothing. (not even a little rain)
