An interesting review of Oblivion is available at GameBanshee. Although the score is 8/10, there are clearly elements the author is disappointed with:Or consider treasure leveling. In Morrowind, there was baseline treasure you’d find on bodies and in chests, with a slight chance of something showing up that was better. The lure of these better items kept you out hunting for more occupied, hitherto unknown caves and potential loot. But Bethsoft now believes all loot should be tied to character level. Their “improvement” makes certain you never see any treasure, in merchant shops or on the kill, that is inappropriate for your current character. Just finished an epic battle with three opponents that nearly took you and your summoned creature out? You can hardly wait to open that boss treasure chest…then you discover it contains nothing different from every other chest you’ve seen so far in the game, and all of it exactly what a character your level would already own. |
