Omfg i can't wait!!!

I loooved the Morrowind games (Blood Moon + Tribunal), they were so open and beautiful (at times).

This next installment looks to keep many of us locked away in our homes for some time

Looks really good. I hope this takes care of a couple character model issues I had, most notably that the characters have anorexia. They're too skinny. I'm not saying make 'em fat, I'm saying fill them out a bit, make them look human. And the Imperials were all fat in ES3, change that too. ES3 was an awesome game, and I have no doubt that this game will live up to it.

Too bad its gonna be a short game. From what I read in an article its gonna be smaller and shorter then Morrorind by alot because they think peple only like short small games. I was actually hoping for something even bigger then Morrowind but looks like I wont be getting that.

Edit-Hmmm from what I'm reading here it says its bigger yet the magazine I read said smaller.

They didnt say smaller...

"Technically speaking, the world of Oblivion is actually larger than Morrowind, but as Howard himself pointed out, Bethesda doesn't want "hundreds of hours of gameplay" to consist of a few minutes of fun punctuated by hours of boring traveling. Instead, the game will include a revised fast travel map that will hopefully eliminate a great deal of the annoying repetitive travel over long distances" -Todd Howard, Bethseda.
