4. The Multiplayer

When the game was first teased, rumours were awash that it was to be an online survival game - this was confirmed by Todd Howard.

The game can be played solo, but if you play online your world will be populated by a few dozen others. From the size of the map, this means you could play in a game with other players and rarely bump into them.

Multiplayer is both PVE and PVP. Various gameplay videos show buddies teaming up to take on larger monsters, or attacking and executing another player. Other videos show what you can do in your down-time - work on workbenches, visit towns and play musical instruments.

Bethesda games are known to be buggy upon release, and online releases are often troubled anyway, meaning there will likely be a very rocky launch for the game. But here's hoping it isn't.

I'm based in the UK, looking to make a career out of writing about entertainment and culture. The only thing I like as much as watching films, playing games or listening to music is enjoying as much hummus and crisps as I can while I do so. My favourite film is Eddie the Eagle and I like any game that lets me wander around beautiful worlds (or eat hummus and crisps).
