If you have a decent rig - crank up the AI and make them smarter - its built in, just that it can bog lower end system.

I had one fight that lasted about 30 mintues against a goblin caster - used smart tactics to keep me away from her, and ran away and put conjured obstacle sin my path - that is pretty good AI.

I think finally someone noticed the emperor has no clothes ..

A quote from this review:

Even with this major shortcoming, Oblivion has much to show (as an action-adventure game, of course, as it is nowhere near the RPG genre, what did you think?). Coming to think of it, with all my rough criticism, I cannot find any excuse for the fact I have finished every single quest available in the game – a thing that took me about one hundred hours. This shows – beyond any doubt – the gameplay value of Oblivion. To date, I have never shown so much interest in a game. Even Gothic, its arch-contender, wasn’t able to ensnare me so effectively.
I have his same problem!

PS. Sorry you didn't like it. Its the openness that is what attracts me. You can do whatever. Most games these days, you are nothing more than a rat in a tiny box. Here, you can go where you want, decorate your houses (I have 10 houses now), etc.

That is tough news to take. I will have to purchase it, of course (loved NWN and I think I have all of the doo-dad add-ons) but my budget will scream.:D
