QUOTE(stargelman @ Feb 6 2008, 04:09 PM)  Mods can't fix what I think is wrong with Oblivion. It's an ok computer game, but my point is that it is a lousy TES game, measured by the standards created by the previous games. The story is bleh, there is barely any background story, no politics of any kind, no faction conflicts aside from that one FG questline, the lore's been mistreated so bad it'll never fly again and the world is bland and quite boring. I won't even mention dialog. There are a lot of other things that are wrong with this game, but I don't really feel like going into them again as I have had this discussion countless times before and I just don't care for this series anymore - that is for any new installments. I still love the old games.
I agree, from what I played of Oblivion they not only butchered the game by removing several of my favorite skills and abilities but they didn't really add anything new and exciting. The lore and story were obviously neglected as well as many of the quests. Even with the flaws it has its okay for an action game but piss poor for an RPG in my opinion. I was able to enjoy Morrowind on an entirely different level and also for a much greater period of time...hell I played it for years and didn't get bored...I couldn't ever really get into Oblivion enough to bring myself to play for more than a few hours at a time.
