oooh, don't get me started on middle-earth online. it's been suggested that the tolkien fascists unite, and form a player-killer team specifically to murder leet-speaking bunnies who masscre tolkien's vision. I'm tempted. oh, so tempted.
sadly, no chance of a memod for Oblivion, all the same licensing legalities that killed memod would crop up again. If the art assets are released, it'll be as a set, (probably for modders, rather than as a mod in itself) without any LOTR references left over.
I'm slightly tempted to try something a less serious, and make a Discworld mod if we can get terry pratchett's permission, in person with a definate face-to-face permission. We've been joking about making a parody of Oblivion's storyline, revolving around Mustrum Ridcully, the Unseen Univeristy, and the Dungeon Dimensions. "serious" fantasy is so po-faced that a vicious parody rather appeals - especially after the anally-retentive detail that was memod. Theta's rather tickled by that, and Kahenraz might have time, and that's the old core of memod all working together.
Otherwise, we're looking at finding a nicely deserted corner of the map, and making a homage to HP Lovecraft's "the Shadow over innsmouth" in a sleepy coastal village.
course, on the opposite end of the modding spectrum, I still want to build a team and make an Eve-Online inspired mod for unreal tournament - all that lovely backstory, and visuals. I'd just kill for an UT assault mode of a boarding party battling through the interior of a caracal or thorax, to reach the bridge and jettison/disengage the pod 
so many ideas, so little time.

I bought it last night and started playing around 7pm EST.
I think I went to bed around 6aM EST.
It is now 3:20 ESt, and I've just started again.
P.S. Those katanas the Blades use are freakin SWEET. As is putting an arrow in someone's head, and watching them drop like a pile of bricks.
Custom class:
Combat
Strength/agility
Blades, block, armorer, athletics, marksman, sneak, light armor.
I have to play with anti-aliasing off though, because my raedon 9800 has some sort of issue with the wavey effects of certain spells and the oblivion gates.
/me things about taking over his brother's new dual core 4700 with 512meg video card...

How the hell do I cure that vampirism disease? I seem to have picked it up while exploring a cave I passed by on my way to ...prove I had what it takes to be an assassin...
Anyone else taking the darker route? My first murder involved alot of chasing, and use of my bow (***** wouldnt stand still).
Eventually got her trapped by a locked door, and i shoot her down. I felt like such a gate camper.

My joy was crushed right after i installed it, because apparently my X850XT-PE doesnt support SM3.0 and therefore i cant use HDR and have to use Bloom /sigh. But other than great game, due to my evil ways im now a member of the Dark Brotherhood

HDR is a sm2.0 function, not 3.0... At least, in most cases. Oblivion seems to be an exception... And Far Cry aswell, on that matter.

Anyone euros thinking of getting it from direct2drive don't do it. Their site is broken and half of their downloads don't work. I've been through 2 broken dls and am now on my third. At this rate by the time I get it the game will be released.
Actually I'm podding *****farmer if the dl isn't done by the 24th.

High Dynamic Rendering - imitates how the human eye reacts to light.
Something like if you're inside everything outside seems really bright, but when you step outside everything is normally lit and the inside seems really dark etc.

My raedeon 9800 can't do HDR either, and for soem reason Anti-aliasing completely kills my FPS when i look at 'blur-effect' things like oblivion gates., but no biggie. I plan to upgrade my nearly 2year old PC within the next month or so.
what I don't understand is, how do you toggle the 3d bitmapping? For me it's turned off, and I can't find anything to turn it on with. Would suck if my video card simply doesn't support it.

Actually I think thats a bug, theres been some discussion on the bethsoft forums about it. Also theres meant to be a memory leak in there somewhere too.

If it's a bug, then its px2.0, which would be nice :D
Now, how to get bethesda to fix it :P

Dont try fsaa/anisotropic on older cards with newer games. Those functions are done by the GPU, which will be way too busy rendering the game in the first place.
HDR does work on a radeon 9800, just not in Oblivion, which uses a px3 version, proably. Source can use it just fine, and there's a test program to test HDR with (rthdribl, google it) to see if it works, which it does.
3d bitmapping? You mean 3d bumpmapping probably (parallax mapping in Oblivion, displacement mapping in Unreal Engine 3), which is also a px3 (pixel shader 3) feature, which only the geforce 6600+ and radeon 1000+ have.

I'm actually really disapointed with it. There's no point playing a thief because you can't sell stolen items. Hopefully someone will make a mod to fix it.

Game is clearly designed for the consoles.
The graphics are not delivering on the demands they make on the hardware. The animations are laggy and plain gross.
What it does, it does good as always - the extreme openness and big world.
But otherwise it feels like a step 4-5 years back, gameplay and especially interface wise.

Not sure what you mean by the graphics not delivering on the demands they make on the hardware. If you have a crappy system it looks like crap, if you have a great system the game looks great.
I have a great system and the game is absolute STUNNING.
I agree on the animations, gameplay and the interface though. Especially the interface. Sometimes i wonder if developers actually play their own games because it only takes 5 minutes to see how unintuitive and confusing the interface is...
