These are my thoughts exactly regarding Oblivion and other games of the same ilk. This is my biggest fear for current trends of game design. I don't have to to waste playing shitty games. My second fear for games is shitty DRM. ;)
I did, however, find the videos interesting regarding their...
I hope that when/if they release the editor that someone mods the hell out of the game so that it is a more plausible sequel. What the hell is up with the crab men? The more I see, the more I don't like. Unfortunately, I fear my memories of the fallout universe must be buried with Fallout 1 & 2.

Oddly I have PC Gamer June 2007 and page 23 is "The Ultimate Starter guide" for Lords of the Rings online. I could not find anything about fallout in my mag ...
I don't really like the music it revs up too much. It starts well enough but I was hoping for more apocalyptic and less epic. The are is good however but it will be weird seeing it when we can as a first person game.
