I rather think the ideas were executed according to Bethesda's wishes, and that the game reflects Bethesda's goals. They got the game they wanted.

I just think it wasn't made for you Walt. And in the same vein, you surely won't like Oblivion either.

Then I deeply appologize in advance for liking games that are fun better then those that are not.

But some may think it's fun

What's fun is specific to everyone

I disagree about MW being a high quality game. The ideas were great and lofty, but the execution was extremely sloppy. Nothing seemed to work like it was supposed to. I thought it was a fun game despite the quality, not because of it. It was giant sandbox that was enjoyable to explore and kill stuff in (like Diablo on steroids), but it failed as a believable alternate life simulator/role-playing adventure, which is what it was supposed to be.

edit: I just realized that I'm posting in an Oblivion thread so I'm going to go cut myself or something in punishment.

Then I'll cut myself a few times. Happy?

Oi, that's more like arrogance you twit.

How is it arrogance? I'm putting the fault of me disliking a game on my shitty tastes instead of the game's quality.

My bet is it'll probably run great on the 360, but like MW on PC's...

A pity...

If you translate it to French, it's arrogant.

Would you mind telling us what do you think of the finished product, as game, and speak as a player? Do you enjoy it?

I'm more interested in what he thinks of pirate weddings.

I'm addicted to it. I find it a lot more compelling and fun than Morrowind. Even after working on it for nearly 4 years. YMMV, of course, but I think it's great.
