Bah, we all know you were just OB1's alt account, no matter how much you can try to deny it now... :P
Seriously though, sure perhaps you argued at that Asian cinema forum or whatever the other forum you went to was, but here? Ah, not much. You were always his biggest defender in arguments, or at least that's what my memory tells me, so it very often seemed like it was me arguing with the two of you. Also I wouldn't be surprised if your post count rate dropped more than anyone elses' after he left (though everyones' did, so perhaps not, I'm not sure), etc. So sure, we argued. This thread does show some examples of that, doesn't it. :)
And I played Morrowind for like 5-8 hours and Oblivion for... uh, a couple of hours maybe? Bethesda's games just never could hold my interest for long. :)
I don't know, the music is good, the graphics decent, but despite how much I sort of like them, RPGs aren't my favorite genre really. I get bored by the repetitive combat of many of them, for instance -- if I'm going to be playing the epic game, why is the combat so simplistic and repetitive and simple? Bethesda also doesn't have the greatest writers or artists, to say the least. I'm sure if I really wanted to though, I could play a lot of a Bethesda game and perhaps enjoy it... but with so many other options out there, it's hard to focus on any one thing, particularly any one thing that doesn't interest me that much. "Why should I be playing this when I could be playing something more fun, like Guild Wars"... I admit, I haven't given Oblivion that much of a chance. I just haven't wanted to play it enough to do that, compared to other games.
But yeah, things like my complaints about depth are part of why I love strategy games so much. Why I've beaten Fire Emblem games (which of course I list as strategy games) as many times as I have all traditional (non-action-RPG) JRPGs combined.
The real problem, probably, though, is that I'm indecisive and have way too many games to choose between. Not a good combination really. :)

Quote:Morrowind is 6 square miles, Oblivion is about 16.
It's hard to go back to Morrowind, even with all the mods. I could say the same thing for Oblivion though, I just put so much time into them back when they first came out that I really don't want to play them much anymore.
