The TES series sucks chomps more cock, than a fox let loose in a Pen house.

Oblivion is yet another in a long line of fuckups stretching back over 10 years.

Want the greatest RPG ever? Try Planetscape Torment and the Underworld series. These are incredible titles that whomp ass on any of the $600 GPU requiring misfits that are released today.

There are different genres of RPGs. TES is an action RPG. Always has been.Today it's too much action compared to the RPG, so there's an imbalance that I'd love to see corrected, but Arena and Daggerfall were amazing in their day and both are enjoyable.

I bet you were a fanboy of Planescape Torment once. If you had the price of early internet, you probably cried "Stop the Whinging Haters!" just like the TES fanboys. PT is a respected game that I missed while I was playing TES, Realms of Arkania, The Magic Candle series, and the Might and Magics. I missed it because it was AD&D.

I generally avoided games based on AD&D as too twinkie fanboyish unoriginal after the early Gold Box games, and I haven't finished an Ultima after Ultima IV, though I did buy the set and found the "please feed me, I'm a bit hungry now" glitch in one of the later games to be very funny.

So, my comment last week before the Codex went down that fanboys turn into the crankier sorts found here at the Codex stands. Oblivion is not enough of an RPG, but a TES game done right is every bit as much an RPG as Planescape Torment or Fallout, it's simply a different subgenre in the same way that Star Control 2 and Wing Commander were both space games with RPG and combat aspects but are quite different in style and substance.

I just got suspended on TES forums for a perfectly rational criticisation of the game that led to me telling the fan boi's to sucking their own dicks. So this is my way of letting steam off and hopefully some of those cunts will see this and chow down on some good old fashioned mug slinging.

Language that's tolerated here is not appropriate on corporate boards. I have a coworker who's gotten written up because he swears at work around supervisors and because he looked at porn years ago when he was warned not to. He lacks the social skills to know how to behave in different environments, makes me wonder how he behaves in church (he reminds us he goes every week).

I admit that Bethsoft tolerates the fanboys because they don't want junior high word of mouth to hurt sales, but they also are concerned with parents of those fanboys seeing language that doesn't have anything to do with the game, or constructive forum input.

Here, oddly enough, your language is the norm and it's constructive in a strange counter cultural way. Before you get upset, learn the difference.
