Engine for Elderscrolls V

Do you guys think we need a completely new engine for ES V instead of just revamping it, similarly how we got Fallout 3 from Oblivion. I mean this engine is showing its age with poor animations, character models and very very static animations. What do you guys think will be the case for ES V, new engine or revamped.

If they could take an engine like the one in GTA 4, the next elder scrolls would instantly get better. If I shoot a bandit in the leg, I'd really like to see him stumble realistically.

I agree that the current engine looks dated.

I would love physics like Source (Valve games)or Euphoria (GTAIV, SW:Battlefront), but it may be hard to make such a huge and filled world with it.

To tell you the truth, the engine always looked dated to me, even before the games came out. I don't understand why everyone goes on about the graphics, it looks real muddy to me with bad lighting and bump mapping.

CryEngine 2. PC only. I'd be one happy dude.

Every time I chug around in the forest in Cyrodiil I think to myself, "this would look amazing in CE2."

Come to think of it, besides the fact that it's a fantastic RPG... it has one AWFUL physics engine.

I think it could make good use of the GTA IV one, yeah.

What's the alternative? I think they just need to refine it.

There are way bigger fish to fry than the graphics engine. Fix the game design first.

if they used cryengine the engine they used for crysis, it would be great. I saw a video of that and it looked amazing.
