heh, you forgot Iceland?

None of the mods have the best thing about Morrowind - the load/start screne theme. Do you remember how it starts with that measured drum beat - wonderful music - and a fine intro too.

Thing is that Morrowind was and is an open game. Same for Daggerfall. And Arena had that rep. By contrast (I understand) Oblivion has a closed quest structure or at least it is very controlled. That does not appeal to me in the same way.

I understand about the upgraded fight action and graphics are no doubt wonderful in some respects, but Morrowind was wonderful enough for me. Also people keep coming out with stuff about the Lore - that suggests that Oblivion does not have the same understanding of humanity that Morrowind did.

This is not to say that I am against the creation of new stuff - love it if it is special - just that I have not been bitten by the Oblivion bug as I was by Morrowind. And there is one further reason why. Where it may be great fun to play, as any console game can be, what was vital about Cyrodiil was that it is the Center of The Empire - and that means politics, industry and the metropolitan experience = sophistication. I have never read anything that indicates to me that was part of Oblivion.

By comparison Morrowind was and is politically fascinating.
