I'm rather confused as to what you are trying to say. I guess that I'm a mainstream gamer, but I've played indie games before and loved them. I didn't really like Oblivion that much because of the enemies leveling with you (as I said, I like progression), but the combat system was decent.
I really wanted to know how much DKS addressed the issues that faced the original. I'm strongly leaning towards buying it, but I can't find any good reviews for it that address the gameplay changes.
