1. What's the latest news on the sequel to Daggerfall? What about Battlespire, Redguard, etc...
A. Ok. Let me explain how Bethesda does this. Unlike most companies, Bethesda doesn't operate a particular world in strictly one genre. The TES series is the freeform roleplaying Daggerfall is so well known for. This includes Arena, Daggerfall, and will include Morrowind and Oblivion, when they come out.
Battlespire also takes place in the same world (Empire of Tamriel), but is more of a single dungeon crawl, in the tradition of Doom, Hexen, Heretic, etc. Many complain how it's nowhere near as good as Daggerfall, but it's just plain not supposed to be. It's an entirely different game.
Redguard will be an adventure game, in the tradition of Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, the Zelda series, and other more rigid "RPG's" which include cutscenes, cinematics, etc. Like Battlespire, it's not meant as a sequel to Daggerfall, and should not be compared to it.
The most recent release date I've seen for Morrowind is late 1999, but that isn't written in stone, so don't get your hopes up. Just search the web for Morrowind, you should be able to find a little info.
