Who gives a shit about shadows anyway? I've turned them off in all FPS's in the last 5 years. For performance reasons, obviously, but it doesn't change the fact they're only eye candy. People over at RPGCodex are such graphics whores for crying 'OMG I can't be teh sneakey anymore!?'. Fuck it, man. Don't they have gameplay issues to whine about?

All in all, a good call from BethSoft, but Oblivion will still fail.

A lot of the Codex kids just get hot and bothered over any reason to bitch about Oblivion. It's like when you obsess over a really ugly girl so much that one day you catch yourself thinking about her when you masturbate.

Dynamic shadows? Useless fluff.

There will still be shadows for trees, characters, houses, rocks, and big shit, just not glasses, and useless stuff.

didn't they have to retool the game because of "too smart' AI? It was that the AI did it's own thing instead of do the qeust stuff, or something.

You don't make any sense, asshole.

Hey, I agree. After 5 minutes of playing any game I stop seeing all the high res textures, bumpmapping, realistic shadows, particle effects, and whatever else they spend millions of dollars and several years developing. Soon after getting over the giant detailed world of Morrowind I realized how much of a godawful piece of crap it was, just like Oblivion will be.

SHINY, SHINY, SHINY WRAPPING !!!!!

*shakes box*

*rattles box*

*scowls*

Oh, another desiccated turd.

*defenestrates box*

We would choose to play Russian Roulette with a muzzle loader over the suffering of Oblivion. The possibilities ! Ahahahaha.

I take back everything bad i ever said about Morrowind. I downloaded this mod for it called Morrowind Comes Alive v4.1 and now that game owns.

Here is the part of readme on that mod.

Randomly adds over 1000 types of NPCs to over 300 cells to bring Morrowind to life.
Uses leveled lists so that what NPC spawns where is random, and what they're
wearing and carrying is random. Once spawned, the NPCs then have a 20% chance of
disappearing when you leave the cell they're in, so a new NPC will appear when you
come back later. This means they are on a constant 'rotation', simulating people
traveling to and from towns, and going in and out of the inns, shops, guilds etc.
The aim of the mod is to alleviate the 'staticness' of the Morrowind world, which
is a major (and dare I say well-founded) complaint about the game.

Look for the new NPCs in the streets, in temples, taverns, shops, forts, shrines,
guildhalls, camps, and even Daedric ruins. You will also encounter a number of NPCs
in the wilderness, including parties of travelers, adventurers and bandits, hostile
and peaceful Ashlanders, traveling merchants and parties of Ordinators and Armigers
on Red Mountain. All NPCs (excepting beast races) have new heads and hair.

How . . .

Thrilling !

MORE FILLER ! HAD ENOUGH ? NO ? HAVE SOME MORE.

I have found it easy to resist The Urge.

Disconcerting.

Who knows, maybe Oblivion turns out to be OK after a couple of years of modding.

In morrowind i killed all the npcs and stole everything i could find on the island and
made walls around all the towns just because it was so exciting to play and the fact i could profoundly fuck
such an exciting main quest.
In oblivion i shall do no less to maximise my game play experience.

So what's this oblivion I keep hearing about? Is it like a mod for Ultima IX?

This game will be good. I loved Morrowind despite its problems and I do believe I'll love Oblivion.
