snalin:
Also looks like I fucked something up, cause it crashes a lot. I'll mess around a bit more with the load order.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/924363-the-elder-scrolls-iv-oblivion/48544847 is the site I used.

Look, I think Oblivion is a solid game. I really dig the whole do what you want character creation, it's fantastic that I can have mage-race (Breton) character and train in stealth and augment my physical abilities with a wide assortment of spells from several schools. I'm also one of those gamers who never has an unread codex entry so all the books scattered throughout the provinces of Cyrodiil have been like manna from heaven. The Lore is fascinating and rich in contradictions so trying to sort reality, perceived reality and fiction is an enjoyable sport.

Unfortunately, this game can be a little problematic if not out right lazy. I'm fine now with the whole "you gotta go here at some point but feel free to do whatever" but when you have huge game world filled with 1-D NPC's and repeating dungeons with maybe a small note but near generic indiscernible character I get left feeling rudderless. I have virtually no incentive to explore the random dungeons and caves unless I have a (quest related) reason to go near them.

And another thing, the VA is the most distracting piece of shit I've ever encountered in a current gen, AAA Western RPG. There are all but 5 actors by my reckoning all with very obvious accents and affectations for their character types. It gets bizarre when a random guard starts talking to me with the voice of a major NPC. It gets even weirder when I'm talking to someone and their voice just outright changes in conversation seemingly at random, like all the beggars who it seems are maybe just down on their luck nobles who adopt an irritating voice to get money but forget that's what they're meant to be doing.

I get that a lot of these things have been tweaked and fixed for Skyrim, which is still looking like a zero-day/pre-order purchase for me, but Oblivion even with mods seems hugely sub-par for such a well respected company.

look out! Ninjas!:
Yeah, Bethesda have this knack for building really great worlds and giving you lots of little things to tinker with but then pretty much calling that a day.

except the dungeons kinda blew. Cut and paste stuff. They say they've hired a dungeons team for V though.

Katherine:
I bought Oblivion when it first came out and the laptop I had at the time couldn't handle it so I gave up and went back to WoW.  I just bought a new laptop after my PC died and decided to give Oblivion another shot.  I feel like I am going to repeat this same storyline come November, sans the WoW relapse.

JD:
Oblivion had all of one person creating the dungeons. I would cut and paste a bit if I had that job too.
