I stated it already, modders can NOT add new objects etc into the game like they could in morrowind. They didn't give the modders the 3d exporter tool like they did in morrowind. If you look all the mods are tweeks of whats already in the game, but modders can no build a new zone or city or house or face like they could in Morrowind.
IF Bethesda releases that then ok, Oblivion will have some great mods. If they don't then Oblivion will only have a few game play tweek mods like those that are out there. Now there is one major graphics improvement mod out there for Oblivion, but thats because the textures were allready in the game, but Bethesda disabled them for some reason. Modders turned them back on.
Now if you were Bethesda, would you give modders the ability to COMPETE with you for free, or would you keep releasing stuff $2 at a time and not worry about them?
Finally the new 'mod' from Bethesda is already IN your game, but the door is locked and you can't get in no matter what. Yes they did it before the game was released and you will get to pay to access the orrery after you pay your money.
(oh and UberTuber this WILL make your character more powerful)
This model is god awful really, as it will encourage developers to say 'hey thats a great feature, lets put it out after release and make them pay for it!' instead of just putting it in the game.
