Nobody is seeing the advantage to the way Bethesda is doing things. Instead of paying $40 for an expansion pack that has, say, ten new features and a shiny box, you can choose the parts you want. You don't want horse armour? Fine, save your two bucks. I though it looked cool and downloaded it. I hope they do many more in the future, because a) if you can afford a 360 a couple of bucks doesn't hurt, and b) it gives them an incentive to create new content for a long, long time.
And ffs, stop comparing Oblivion to Morrowind. If you want Morrowind, go play Morrowind. I've looked at the game box, it doesn't promise Morrowind. Nowhere on the internet has Bethesda ever said that Oblivion is Morrowind. The game isn't even set in Morrowind. You're not going to have the exact same experience as you would playing Morrowind. Hell, I'd wager that if Bethesda made an exact remake of Morrowind, including all the mods, using the Oblivion engine, the same people would complain that they'd be forced to pay for a game they already have. Sheesh.
