I heard that
PE runs on the morrowind engine.
i belive this is true, cos it uses alot of memory and the crashes also used to happen in morrowind when your memory was to full. the creators of the engine sayd that there is nothing they could do about it.
BACK ON TOPIC:
They could maby upgrade to the new engine thats gonna be use for Oblivion (new elders scroll game).
The idea Azrael have there is kinda like the whole concept behind STEAM (if u play half-life, u would know it)
The idea of that rox.
MA would then have moddelers/programmers they dont really have to pay. It would be players that wanna create something for the game they love. (maby not programmers)
