I am with you for Bioware's NPCs, but Oblivion? Oblivion had some of the
most dull, repetitive NPCs I have experienced in a long time. Diablo and
Diablo 2 even did better in that department.
Not to mention, are there even enough VIRTUAL light bulbs for an entire
Oblivion MMO worth of NPCs to swallow? (If you play the game, the NPCs
have a light source emanating from inside their throats - it is one of
the many disturbing graphical things about the game.)
