Re: announcement of Oblivion

You mean people actually complained about the large size of Morrowind?
That does surprise.
Maybe i am selective in what i digest from the ElderScrolls forums. I
remember people bemoaning the smaller landmass of MW in comparison to
DF and Arena.
That would make for an interesting poll on the forums maybe.
Of course i enjoyed Redguard very much, and that obviously was small,
and very linear.
I suppose if Oblivion ends up looking and playing more like Thief I'd
be happy enough. I say that because i've read some postings that
suggest the thieving aspects will be fleshed out more in Oblivion.
But you know, i've always felt the ElderScrolls Chapters =equal=
massive world, mostly open-ended role playing, looong games.
I might be disappointed if they were anything other.
But it's very early days yet. In fact, i can't get GameInformer in
this part of the world. Found a site with some screenpics (scans from
the magazine) and it looks good.
