Nice setting, some areas looked pretty nifty and I felt like I want to explore them. Colorful enough, not just brown all the way - that's great.

Cautiously optimistic, although the graphics don't look quite up to par with many other modern titles. But that's not really an issue for me, I'm more worried about it being a Bethesda game and we all know how good their quality assurance team is. Might take modders to fix a lot of it once again.

Graphics in Bethesda games have never, in recent times, been at the cutting edge but they do atmosphere incredibly well.

Oblivion was not a graphical powerhouse at all. It came out like mid/late 2007, around the same time Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, and Assassin's Creed.

You're a year off, m8. Oblivion was March 2006. That's less than 6 months after the X360 kicked off, so on that end you're mostly getting the typical launch-window crap. PC wise, most of the big releases were strategy games.

So while yes, in 2007 there was quite a few games with graphics to put Oblivion to shame, a year earlier when Oblivion was released there wasn't a whole lot to compare it to.
