Ok i just read on www.elderscrolls.com that Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion received a 9.5 out of 10 in Official X-box Magazine

I was just wondering, if i remember correctly they have little pros and cons under the rating of the games they give, what were the cons of oblvion?

Thanks

PS: im not even sure that this issue is out, if ur absolutely positive that this issue isn't out yet just post it please

? If you took a week off to play, would it be enough?

The tech issues they mention are some "framerate choppiness in large or busy areas."

Yah, I subscribe too, that's exactly what they had...Didn't they also say something about time taken to travel the landscape?

If they did mention that, I'm pretty sure they were praising the new system they have. Unlike Morrowind, now you can "fast travel" (read: teleport) to any area of the map you have already been to. From what I understand you must be kinda careful though, as if you "fast travel" while suffering some kind of condition, say poison, even though the move is instantaneous in your eyes, the game still calculates time passing. So, you may come out the other side dead

Referring to Lasher: It has been done numerous times before that game came out! like Vagrant Story and this MMO Guild Wars!

Oh I know, I'm not saying it's some new concept, but for The Elder Scrolls, it is new. In Morrowind I ended up inventing different travel spells, because the Mark/Recall and warp to nearest temple/mage guild was way too limited IMO.
