Agreed. But this looks like both. The only possible way that Link on that horse riding through the hills to a distant castle would NOT be that big is if they did something terrifying. That is to say, not let you CLIMB those hills there. By the way, immersion has been murdered in Oblivion this day. I travelled a great distance and encountered the end of the world. It wasn't a natural land mark like a wall or a chasm that would kill me if I jumped it, but rather a message saying "You can't go any further". Who said that? Some talking boat? Killed the moment for me! If I want to go further, make the game physics stop me, not a "message"! Aside from that, it's been awesome.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
