I don't think it pays to get too worked up over a game, it'll all end in tears usually 
I'm sure it will be a good solid game but I remember Morrowind and the hype before that got released....the game itself just couldn't live up to it. Oblivion is supposedly better in some respects (combat, etc) but compromises have been made in other areas. The 3D engine they use in particular is also suspect, considering the 4 month delay to get this thing out was blamed on optimisation probs for the most part.
When a game company gets in too deep and starts cutting back on 'features', well.....
Anyway, we'll see. I'm not going to buy this one until there is a lot of 'ordinary' feedback out there from 'ordinary gamers'.
As with any game, I won't be taking any real notice of high profile game site reviews.....too many of them are already bought & sold, so to speak.
