I'm not talking about being a pacifist... I'm talking about them actaully being able to say 'wide open gaming experience' without the caveat of 'unless you're on a quest'... in which case the game is as linear as they get.

Action rollplaying games force you to fight... real roleplaying games give you options and let you choose how best to solve a puzzle. Oblivion COULD have been more than an ARPG, all the fundamentals are there. Oblivion is good, not great, and the closer you get to having something great the more you're going to hear it when you fail. People complain because they want the problem FIXED and they think it's worth letting the manufacturer know about it. It's when people don't complain that you know you've got a total dog.
