Is there really a market for this? I feel Oblivion wound up in a strange middle ground between Morrowind diehards and those who only know Skyrim's 15 year reign of terror.
I was surprised to hear razorfist say he was looking forward to this and he doesn't like Morrowind. He blames Morrowind for dumbing down the game mechanics and removing features, yet he likes Oblivion. I don't see how Oblivion was any improvement there.
Look, I can get not liking Morrowind for being Morrowind - the game is clunky and needs to have a right mindset to play - but trying to argue that Morrowind 'dumbed down the game mechanics and removed features' is borderline 'You need to be instituted for your own good.'

wut.
Has he... lost his mind? Is he on drugs?

Well, you could argue it did compared to Daggerfall. But of course, that still wouldn't explain why he liked Oblivion.
My take is that Daggerfall was not "advanced" gameplay either. It was filled with mechanics of seeing what's thrown at the wall and see what sticks.
I like Daggerfall and Morrowind but I do think Morrowind is the genuine improvement over Daggerfall gameplay.
