- No real story

- Bland characters

- At best, a mentally challenged combat system

- First Person (seriously, WTF?)

- Penalties for dying/failing/being captured are a joke

- Wolves (as in, 20 million of them)

- Boring world environment

- Dungeons are only places remotely interesting

... shall I continue?

Someone of the GT staff said it is better than Mass Effect. I am quite hyped for it ^^''.

Yep just waiting for delivery.

I am getting it, but not as soon as I had hoped.

please do, because I think it was the best WRPG I played in years.

Somehow I forgot to mention scaling enemies... Ugh. Worst feature in the game.

I could rattle off 15-20 better WRPGs released in the past 10 years without even challenging my memory... Starting with every game released by Bioware.

I've been done purchased this. Keep an open mind Rocketwestermtips.

Also, Oblivion was fine. We'll see how this ends up.

Morrowind on the other hand...ugh, too complex, and no direction.

A major complaint about Oblivion is lack of immersion. I think it's the largest flaw, but overall, I think the game is good.

I was bored to hell with Oblivion.

And yet...I bought Fallout 3 a couple days ago on Steam. I dunno...looks interesting, and I need something other than an FPS...maybe to get my mind off Left 4 Dead.

I haven't played Fallout and Fallout 2 yet, so Fallout 3 is of no interested to me out the moment. But I may get them all eventually.

OK i will put my feelings to your criticisms

- No real story - or do you mean it didn't have a convoluted story that makes little sense and is impossible to follow? it had quite the classic story, realm failing, needing an hair in which there is one all be it a bastard, fights for the realm and wins. sounds like a story to me. reminds me of the farseer trilogy.

- Bland characters - Yes i consed there could have been a few more odd balls around and if you had met one KHAJIIT you had met them all.

- At best, a mentally challenged combat system - Although a little simplistic it was a lot more realistic.

- First Person (seriously, WTF?) - It worked for Deus ex and i claim it also worked for Oblivion, you didn't have to play in the first person.

- Penalties for dying/failing/being captured are a joke - Not really sure of your point as this is the way of nearly all games these days. Gone are the days of dieing and then screaming at the TV because you knew you had another 5 hours of gaming to go to get to where you were and the likely hood was that you would die again. And good riddance to them

- Wolves (as in, 20 million of them) - not any worse or better than random battles really.

- Boring world environment - Bullsh*t, that is all i can say to that.

- Dungeons are only places remotely interesting - Sure dungeons were fun as was the rest

... shall I continue? No unless you wish me too. Lets just say, Agree to disagree.
