Oblivion Weather Options

[Faldwin]

Is there any information on how the weather will look in Oblivion. Like if puddles will form during rainstorms or bounce off surfaces other than water. I didn't like how in MW the went through bridges and tunnels. Also how the rain completly ignored the NPCs and you. Some screenshots would be nice.
Also what about other types of weather: snow, sleet, hail, and windstorms.

i doubt that physics will work on "raindrops" and alike ... that would be a crazy amount of calculations to be done.

i havent recently seen weather effects been done in newer games (HL2, D3,...). actually thats not true. Ive played around with the editor of FarCry, and with knowledge you could activate the built-in weather effect of rain on a custom map.

but it looked very bad - guess thats why they cut it out of the game in the end.

id say they go for some fancy shaders for the most part.
