I guess I can spare a few seconds <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> from playing Oblivion
FYI these are compared mostly against their previous game called Morrowwind

Personal Cons: However small they may be <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
*can't rename or name save files(might be patched)but still can save like save 1 save 2 save 3 a way around this is to rename your files once you close Oblivion go to my documents and find your save files there
*can't wear cloths under armor(I doubt they will add new code to patch this)
*shoulder guards are made part of the chest armor(yes shoulder armor is not separate anymore)(I doubt they will add new code to patch this)
*the game is a little (not too much though just barely noticeable) picky about where you can drop items on the ground case you get over burdened(might be patched )
*you can't tell numerically how far you are to the next level before you rest(might be patched)there is just a bar
*the game is too cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />


Noticeable Pros:
*skills have been modded slightyly so now, there are sertain key levels of your skill, like master grandmaster etc, well anyway you also get certain bonuses for having high skill with these titles you get for instance, having a high block skill helps you absorb for damage (damage reduction) etc
*also almost forgot, you can use your middle mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out of 1st person mode(i assume you can config another key to do this for you but i use my mouse)
*Npcs are out and about in the many areas of the game
*npcs take action and do things, movements and so forth
*beautiful music and sound effects
*lots of voice overs for all the npcs
*Graphics are god like
*your magic now regenerates on its own like your fatigue based on your willpower
*lots of art for interface
*I love this game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
*the tutorial in the beginning of the game fits in rather smoothly and can be ignored, its face paced and doesn't take away from the fun(fits into the beginning plot)
*there is a plot and you can speed by the many cool things you can do in the game
Or follow along the main quest
*you can open up your map and travel instant(the game takes walking hours into account)by clicking on an icon of a city or fort or icon of a place
*graphics are god like
*did I mention that the opening movie doesn't even lag, I mean that’s got to be the first game that hasn't lag in the opening movie


I don't think the beginning area is horrible
But that’s just me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
