@PolygonSlayer: Just want to point out to those that don't know, its not that Bethesda can't code, look at the renderer, they coded that its fantastic.But game logic is handled by GameBryo(which powered Morrowind). Its just not a good product.

Hopefully Zenimax will allow them some time off (waay extended dev cycle for next game) to build an actual engine or just use ID Tech 5.

@Animasta: @laserbolts: It definitely dosent play better or look better, it definitely has more bugs. Perhaps it has a better plot and is more interesting than Deus Ex. It is not a better game.

@AhmadMetallic: plays far, far better with 360 controller. The keybindings for M + KB, by default, are a vomit soaked abortion.

@MikeFightNight: Only change I want also.

This.

The intensity of yelling for it to be GOTY, and largely for those reasons (correct or not) puts the lie to that.

Almost no Morrowind fan has anything but contempt for Oblivion at this point in time. This has been your: fanatical Morrowind attitudinal update.

as @twigger89 said Its something that exposes a lot of why Morrowind was great in a wonderfully accessible package. It does fall far short of Morrowind though.Specifically in number of ruins. Ruin running for artefacts is one of my favourite parts of Morrowind.

The amount of data that it would require to have a massively multiplayer FPS with physics on one shard(one server i.e the way Eve online works) means that it is impossible in the short term at least. Probably 15 years away if possible at all.

Also maintaining determinism in a game engine (every time a input is received, the engine produces the same output) is difficult enough in a straight multiplayer game add physics into that and you're in a world of hurt. Determinism is useful for many things, replays/being able to wind back time is one. As you've collected all the inputs and the state at a paticular time you can just apply the inputs to that state and have a perfect replay without having to save video. See I paid attention in class, I've got a Bsc (Hons) in Game Development.

@Zolkowski: I agree with the sentiment kinda, but treating a position that is based on mountains and mountains of evidence (albeit which do not give a complete picture of Life, The Universe and Everything) the same as a position which is based on no evidence at all is silly.

Being the time that it is : "That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence"

@Jumanji: Because if they don't put up with it, there will be no flow of new players and the game will suffer a severe natural decrease. Simple really.
