Anyways, the question is a faux pas because it is illogical since a) I haven't preordered it, and b) I enver said that *anyone* had.
You did say we'll be among the first to buy it. Those who are among the first to buy it are those who pre-order it. Therefore, anyone who hasn't pre-ordered it is hardly going to be among the first to buy it. Unless you're thinking a couple hundred thousand people is what counts as "first", which I'd argue leaves for a pretty big definition. Considering most game sales happen in the first month of a games release (before typically - though probably not in Oblivoin's case - the game disappears off the shelves), you seem to think everyone who buys it is "among the first".

The site nowadays is dedicated to a war between the Codex and Bethesda fanboys of how much Oblivion is gonna suck or not.
Really? Why, what threads are there about how much Oblivion as a whole will suck? I see certain aspects of the game being critiscised such as the overly large visible from space font, the lack of combat options like horseback combat, the lack of weapons in order to save on making animations, childish writing, a lack of real dialogue options and weapons being poorly categorised. There's also a bunch of retarded TES fanboys who come here to post nothing but "OMG u suk" and then 5 pages of inane chatter in response. In fact, specifically looking for comments which even just imply "Oblivion as a whole is going to suck" brings up little beyond some people responding stupidly to what are stupid posts in the first place.
So a correction: A war about how much certain aspects of the game are going to suck in terms of its "RPG-ness".

It's kind ahard tod eny that the Codex consensus is that Oblivion is gonna suck, and only retards would be interested in it.
Again, retards are attracted to it not "only retards are interested in it". No-one ever said that on the Codex. Anywhere. Ever.

Hence my comment as a poke at the Codex way of saying how much x game or company sucks then they rush out and buy more of the shitty stuff.
Really? What are your statistics on that? I haven't bought NWN, any of the Kotor's nor in fact, most other RPGs released in the past few years apart from Bloodlines and Sacred. I"m not really sure how many people here have. Again, you take one instance of one person saying one thing (such as one single person buying the game) and take that to mean "the whole of the RPG Codex". Then again, buying a game doesn't preclude it from having sore points about which one can complain, as you should surely know yourself. Further more, I can't seem to find too many people who've said they wouldn't buy it "for what it is".
Something you and just about every TES fanboy that comes here seems to fail to understand is that this is the
RPG Codex. That doesn't mean we don't play non-RPG games and enjoy them. It does however, mean we're fairly angsty when it comes to games that proclaim themselves to be RPGs, yet which fail to have any strong RPG elements. Those are the things we complain about.
