Review Oblivion better than Fallout 3, better RPG than FPS

I agree, but that line surely starts with generic shades that make any and every character suddenly more charismatic.
Maybe, but at least it has some justification, even if it's far-fetched. How does a wig add to intelligence? A fedora that proves your sneaking skill? Huh? I do believe more than one line was crossed here.

The Fedora is brown. Nearly everything in the wastelands is some shade of brown. Ever hear of camouflage?

Simply brown-colored does not camouflaged fedora make, old Sarvis.
Even having a proper 'stealth suit' would be stupid, unfortunately... because it would automatically allow you to pickpocket people beter! Thanks to skills being lumped together - favourite Bethesda business.

No, not because it's brown but because it is similar to the colors of the landscape around you. Just like a green leaf pattern is only really camouflage if you're in a forest.

What about the environments that aren't shit-brown?

What, all three of them? :P

Most of the areas that aren't brownish are indoors, with poor or no lighting. The hat is dark brown so it still works.

Or if you want to get _technical_ it's a fucking game, and they didn't code anything for situational stat bonuses so it's all or nothing.
