Oblivion has the most horrible level scaling EVER.

No wonder the very first mods where mods who changed that.

ow while this is admittedly a little extreme, I still think that it was a bad idea not to have some long, final stage on which these skills could be used. In place of, say, the escort mission?

The academy and Antidiluvian vault weren't enough mindless hack & slash for you? I applaud them not to use the oh-so-boring Flying Fortress principle in FoV... instead giving an actual challenge instead of boring tedium...
