Not to mention that Oblivion’s interpretation of Cyrodiil is just so bland compared to Vvardenfell.
Which is only exacerbated by how weird some of the Daggerfall/Morrowind-era lore about the imperial province was.
Comment on The Silt Striders always made me feel kinda uncomfortable, anyone else?

I miss these, Morrowind was such an inspired game with such unique environments
I was legitimately angry when I first played oblivion and learned you could just teleport anywhere automatically right from the start of the game

Agreed, map exploration is Bethesda’s thing.

Dude that makes me so sad, I haven’t got it yet and I’m hesitant on picking it up now because of the reviews I’ve seen

I was mildly annoyed when I played Oblivion for the first time and learned that the parts of Tamriel other than Vvardenfell have generic woodland and fantasy creatures instead of the acid trip fever dream shit they came up with for Morrowind.
I was also pissed off when I found out they removed levitation.

The area Oblivion takes place in was supposed to be jungle. But Todd Howards gonna Howard.

Oblivion was developed during mid 2000s during/after LOTR mania. I loved the art direction but it was definitely chosen for mass market appeal over anything else
