[QUOTE=Shadowcat;289078]I’ve never really understood the contempt that Bethesda gets from some gamers. Sure, their games tend to have a lot of bugs when compared to a much shorter game. But the sheer magnitude of them would make it really hard to catch everything.
Here are the stats for Oblivion, as I could find them.
16 square miles (above ground only, doesn’t include dungeons)
200+ total dungeons
200 approximate hours it takes to see and do everything
150+ total quests
1000+ Unique NPCs
It would be impossible to test every possible path a person could take through the world. There are bound to be issues that slip through the cracks.[/QUOTE]
Technically that might be true. As far as aesthetics and gameplay go there’s about 3 towns, 5 dungeons and 5 unique NPC’s.
