I can't say much about Oblivion yet, but I like Morrowinds game enviroment and rich story lines. Oblivions graphics are one thing, I know to be of epic preportions. I like where Bethesda's goals are with game designs.
There is a trend in game development that follows similar lines as all modern technology- Advanced gadgets come and go, faster than ever before and game designers seem to fix things that did not need fixing, in a quest to advance the design of the game.
Morrowind had a nice A.I. and some mods were quite helpful with NPC dialogue, which was already very rich in content. Add the complex story lines, endless books and hooks of Morrowind with the advanced graphic enviroment of Oblivion,... and you might have gotten a more enjoyable game out of it.
Bethesda took out the elements that made the Elder Scrolls Series great, when they developed Oblivion.
As I said however, I am not completely familiar with Oblivion yet, but plan to purchase Oblivion this week and see how it fares on my Vista Laptop.
