Are you saying that Pete Hines would lie to me about Oblivion's great gameplay, immersive setting, and combat that doesn't suck? How dare you, sir! How dare you....

I'm sure there's a bunch of people who thought Morrowind's combat was top-notch, Hines included, so he might not actually be lying, but trying to convince you.

But of course, we both can agree that it sucked.

Make a single sticky called "Official Oblibaboon Topic LOLZOHNOEZ!" and ban any asshole who posts outside it. I really dig the place, but lately it's been worse than when Fobos was in development.

Ew, you're harsh there, MMRW. Oblision still deserve more hype than FOBOS.

I totally agree. Well, maybe not the banning part. That's not the way it works there.
But yeah, it's way annoying to have to sift through all the Oblivion threads just to find the decent ones about other games. Shit, even the hentai threads are more interesting. All the Ob talk has just drawn more ESF morons there who think that the Codex is another Elder Scrolls fan site. And it's hard to prove them wrong when you look at the topic list.

Then there's all those gazillion Oblivion newsposts where the all-knowing RPGCodex fanbois analyze the spelling of some fucking screenshot of an in-game newspaper and bitch about BethSoft torpedoing the ability to sneak, because apples cast shadows no more.

Actually, the in-game newspaper screenshots are important because we need to analyze the font that Bethesda is using. It's all quite vital to gaming as we know it.

Go back to the Codex!

*hides behind apple.

The moderating policy at RPG Codex is pretty much hands off. People can post whatever they want. And hell, if there's so many Oblivion topics that are that popular, then obviously people want to discuss it. Me, I just filed the game under "turd" in my mind, but if our readers feel like it needs more discussion, that's their thing.
