So I got Oblivion, super excited to play it. Started out normal enough, never having played and ES game before. I was having a good time doing some quests and just going on my merry way. I was running from city to city trying to look for new quests to make up enough money so i could buy a horse to make the traveling easier. Well this is about 8-10 hours into the game that I'm just going around saving money and WALKING back and forth between towns to try and get a horse.

Well eventually I saved up enough money and bought myself a gosh-darned horse! I felt like my labor was gonna pay off now that I can travel more effectively. Well after I bought my horse i was doing a quest that I needed to steal something, silly me I went and got caught. So I got captured by the guards and thrown in jail. I decided to wait it out and all of a sudden I had freedom and I was ready to rock and roll! I spot what looks like my horse and jump on to go for a ride. The guards didn't take too kindly to this behavior and chased after me because I guess I must have stolen one of their horses!

The guards then end up killing me, I already had nothing and was super pissed because I would have to start from scratch to buy another f'in horse, however, during the load time after I died the game conveniently decides to tell me I can FAST TRAVEL between cities I've been to.. I threw the controller down and returned the game that day. 10 hours wasted walking and trying to buy a horse so I can go places faster.. all wasted.

I knew how your story would end after the first few sentences. I never played Oblivion or any TES game, but I've come across Morrowind fans that complained about fast travel making Oblivion less epic or something like that.

Why not? You dont like bethesda or you dont have ps3/360?
