Oblivion review

New Oblivion review at Gamespot. I agree with several points, in particular:
- The quests are easier to follow than in Morrowind. The active quest feature is helpful too.
- Great attention to detail.
- The additional power moves that are achieved when you advance to journeyman, master, expert.

The reviewer is probably right that Oblivion is the best single-player RPG around. On the other hand, I don't see Oblivion as such a huge innovation over Morrowind.

One suggestion: in the PC version add some kind of tool that allows the player to make notes that are tied to quests, locations, etc. and can be searched in different ways. I sometime find myself writing down notes for later in the game, and a searchable notebook would be a good addition to the game.

Great! I always like to here objective critiques on video games. I am playing Oblivion currently and have just encountered the annoying runt of a character - “The Adoring Fan”. So I wrote a blog entry about his annoying behavior.

It details, stuff he says, the way he looks, and best of all…how to dispose of him.
