Right. There's a little thread on the official Oblivion board that sprang up with yet another poll. This one is interesting - it asks whether people approve of the fact Oblivion is the first TES game to keep track of idiotic stats, like 'number of Daedra killed, number of jokes told', shit like that.
In that thread, MSFD makes this little comment:
Holy fucking shit. Do you get the import of this? I knew every game was mandated to have 'downloadable content' by MS or it wont get release on the platform, which is bad enough. But this is an open declaration that MS is dictating content.
It reminds me of the scene in the movie 'Office Space' where Jennifer Aniston (the only good thing she's been in) is told she has to wear at least five 'pieces of Flair' on her clothes to keep working at the diner. Its MS making game developers their total, utter bitches, not to mention gamers themselves.
Guess what, fuckers - Fallout 3 will have 'Achievements' too.

I'm pretty sure that EVERY Xbox 360 game has to have Achievements you can earn. Oblivion is no exception. You'll have to wait to find out what Oblivion's Achievements are, though.
