I don't know if they hired new writers and designers or what, but the difference between this and Oblivion is freaking mind-boggling.
I think they've learned the lesson - first by pushing to Oblivion with lasers, then outsourcing New Vegas, and so now we got New Vegas without lasers.

We got a great game. It's what Oblivion could have been. Should have been.
And I don't agree that TW2 and DX:HR stand no chance vs Skyrim. Each ot them is great in a different way. If any of these three RPGs makes GOTY it will be well deserved. And I bet noone will object. Except some trolls bored with the life itself.
