That is the mod that I find most appealing. I would just be happy if they would take the constant “loading” indicator out of the 360 version. That is the mod that I find most appealing.

So, what's so not true about this statement? 16 square miles are 4 across, and cinsidering running speeds in Oblivion, I reckon you can easily do those in 30min.

Seriously, I will address the issue of plugin/additional content soon. I promise. Then instead of fighting with each other, you can all yell at me, instead. Can’t we all just get along!

You were the one that wondered why someone would "troll" for more content, remember? All of which is perfectly reasonable if that’s the way you like it.

I don't really care about a rich and detailed system for role-playing mercantile transactions -- I am perfectly capable of going to a real life store and buying stuff on my own, and my credit card companies just love it when I level up that way. If you really want to focus on that, be me guest; I'm perfectly content running around caves, shooting lightning, and whacking people with swords.

This trumps the minor design problems that might be fixed with mods. I just like to play the game on my 50 inch TV with a wireless controller.

You don't have to go "trolling" for more content -- perhaps you are sick of the fact that Bethsoft simply forgot to allow you to delete spells, or perhaps you're not satisfied with the "let's homogenise the entire world so everything is the same level". Perhaps it bugs you that petty roadside bandits sit by the roadside at lvl 15 with their glass armour worth 1000s, ready to rob you of 20 septims. Or you want to adjust the character levelling scheme that offers the pretense of roleplaying with options like Mercantile skills but the poorly-designed mechanics feed that into combat levels if you choose it as a major skill.

I've also scratched maybe 1/20th of the content available, if that. Why on earth would I then want to go trolling around the internets looking for mods and MORE content? I learned with Neverwinter Nights and countless other games that just because anyone can make a mod does not mean that they SHOULD. Frankly, the 360 version is worth it specifically so that I don't have to deal with installing anything or updating software or drivers or hardware. I've only had one glitch so far in those 70 hours, and it was pretty minor. I have a notoriously short attention span, but I’m already at SEVENTY hours in Oblivion and am not bored yet.
