I was an active Morrowind Player when it was released on the X-Box, and recently became enamored with it all over again when I picked up the GoTY edition. I have a few questions for Oblivion players, in reference to the changes made between the two:
- I recall reading an article claiming that the combat system - a sore spot for a lot of gamers - would be completely revamped for Oblivion. Has the combat system been revamped? And if so, is there much of a difference - are there still three randomly chosen slash/jab/etc actions? Does it still feel 'rough' and more mathematical than other RPG combat?
<>
- Are there more indoor enviroments, more outdoor enviroments, or about the same ratio? In other words, is it still a 'trek far across the land to get to point X, then open door and load dungeon/interior' and perform task?
<>
- The potion drinking limit been commented on in this thread, but what about potion creation? In Morrowind one of the 'cheapest' tricks to the game was buying massive quantities of herbs, making potions, and then selling them to the Creeper in Caldera. I'm guessing the references to being a flower picker means ingredients must be found more than bought, is that correct?
<>
- Are any of the classes or skills radically different than they were in Morrowind?
<>
- And finally - How are the load times?<>

I know its a rather long list, but if anyone wouldn't mind posting an answer here or there, it would be immensely appreciated :)
