Similar to Morrowind would make me really happy, there was some magic in Morrowind, Oblivion was pretty mediocre.

You haven't been here for long and I can already tell you have bad video game tastes :P

Or to be ethically correct I should say that you have a very different opinion than mine.

Diplomatic, not ethically correct. I wouldn't call it bad taste, I just prefer a sequel to not take more steps back than forward and for it not to have quite possibly the worst story in a Western RPG ever.

But it's not because it takes step back that the game is mediocre.

What do you think would have been your opinion of Oblivion if you have played it before Morrowind?

Most likely pretty good I'm thinking.

So that means you should change your expectations.

Now I understand why you dislike every new FF.

When I use the term mediocre I don't mean I dislike the product, I enjoyed my time with Oblivion, but objectively compared to Morrowind and how progressive Morrowind was for its time I can't called Oblivion anything but mediocre, my experience with Morrowind was much greater. Same applies to FF10 and FF13, two games I've seen you praise on the forums, I definitely enjoyed my time with them but I can't see them anything but mediocre at the end. FF12 I just didn't enjoy though and I have many reasons. So I only outright dislike 1 of the new Final Fantasy's. Anyway there was no need to bring that into it, if you can defend oblivion, defend it, don't involve another franchise in the discussion.
