Just got to play it for a few hours on my brother's rig while he was out. HUGE sense of deja-vu from when I first played Morrowind; I suppose that's a good thing, actually. 
And no, contrary to what some might think I did not pick Khajit as my race... :lol:
But yes, the game. It really does have the exact same feel as Morrowind. My brother's computer can just handle it, so it has to be on low graphic settings, so maybe that's what's giving me the whole morrowind vibe.
The conversation system is tons of fun, seriously, I could spend hours at that if I could FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OUT OF IT... Really, the only way I could find was to keep saying things they hated until it stopped for me. How the hell do you quit while you're ahead? :lol:
Combat's okay, nothing special there, though I do admit, blade weapons make a VERY satisfying meaty slice sound when you strike something fleshy.
I'll have to play it more to continue, really. Overall it's excellent, very enjoyable thus far, even if it doesn't match Half-Life 2 in overall atmosphere... Seriously, HL2 has oblivion beat into the ground as far as human character models and natural movement/lipsynching goes. I'm not talking about polycount or whatever fancy effects, either... It just seems like nothing can beat HL2 for natural and, well, good looking movement and appearance. Though, I have yet to play Oblivion on the highest settings, so we'll see.
