Out of respect and returning the favour to JDR13 this is going to be my last post about Oblivion in this thread. After all there is another thread about the topic in this site, reading which you may be surprised to see that my critique of Oblivion is not all that different than many of the regulars' here, many of them also being unable to play the game past a few hours. Unless they come from the Codex too.

Regarding the Oblivion 'mountains' I think Dhruin has already explained it quite well.

Apologies accepted.
