There was a great article on GamesFirst today on next-gen graphics acceleration. Specifically in Oblivion. I read throught the article and was pretty amazed at some of the effort needed to produce a realistic, responsive image of creation... I totally agree with what they are saying though, the next generation of gaming is located here.

"Hitting an enemy with your 25lb sword results in little more than their mouth popping open in pain; for all its beautiful graphics, striking an enemy in Elder Scrolls IV amounts to slashing your sword through the air and listening for the noise that indicates you hit something."

Apparently this guy didn't play the game very long, because the stronger you become, the more the game takes your more powerful attacks into count. I've knocked enemies (and been knocked by them) six ways to Sunday. I've made enemies fly sideways, backwards and just plain straight down, all with my sword.

Your sword is pretty nice. My sword doesn't matter, I just blind enemies or stun them with my beautiful hair.
