Status: offline 		Lifelike graphics and physics are one of the hype points, yes. (And the graphics really are astounding.) The basic engine seems to be the same as Morrowind. They changed the UI a lot but it is handling the same basic info about character stats, inventory, mapping and journal. I haven't played enough to say for sure, but from my glimpse and what I'm hearing the game seems to be basically the same kind as previous Elder Scrolls titles. Use of skills raises them, raise enough skills and your level goes up, a central "main" storyline with lots of side quests and factions to join, a huge game world that you can wander around in freely.

Oblivion feels a lot less alien than Morrowind did. The improved graphics are part of it, but they also did some other cosmetic stuff that I like better. The landscape is grassland and woods that look like real world grass and trees instead of the weird super mushroom things growing in a volcanic wasteland. The animals are deer, wolves and the like instead of Alits, Guars and Kagoutis. The city names are more like what you'd see in Europe instead of Europa (Chorrol and Bravil instead of Tel Aruhn and Ald'ruhn) and the road signs are in English instead of some bizarre made-up script, so you can actually read them instead of having to hover your mouse over them to get a translation.

Like I said, I haven't played Oblivion for more than a few hours yet so there may be more under the hood that I haven't found out about yet but my first impression is basically a slightly improved Morrowind with massively better graphics in a more familiar setting.

What do you think is happening that is impure? This is where WiTP players kill time while waiting for the next patch. We're killing time.

Status: offline 		Afternoon Tithe, and I'm strangely torn between bubbling with joy and being incandescent with rage.

My mother isn't sick. Her private practice doctor diagnosed her with emphysema, and then sent her to the hospital for more testing to see how far progressed the sickness was.

Thanks to the waiting list, said testing was only completed this week (nearly three months after the initial "diagnosis"), and bloodwork, x-rays, lung function tests and whatever else they did to her show ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING RESEMBLING EMPHYSEMA. In fact, my mother is in near perfect health for a woman of 71.

I'm very happy that she's not been sentenced to a slow gasping death by suffocation, but my Thread, I'm angry with her (now former) doctor. Three months of misery and anguish, and all for nothing!
