From everything I've read, modding will be easier but still not very good. That really sucks cause Morrowind had so many hardcoded things that couldn't change. Oblivion sounds to have similar problems.

I already posted this on the off-topic forum, but the other games forum is more appropriate 
I bought the october issue of Xbox magazine, basically for hands-on preview of Oblivion and the demos.
Character-generation is pretty much like it was in Morrowind. You can customize your player's face using a slider system similar to Tiger Woods' Gameface utility.
About combat:
quote:
Pulling the R trigger swings, holding it down does a power swing, and moving in a direction while holding R trigger does a devastating lunge attack (though be careful in big battles as it drains your slow-to-recharge fatigue level). Holding L trigger blocks. |
About the wilderness:
quote:
And though the wilderness areas are so luscious (with randomly generated foliage and ancient shrines nestled therein - you'd be hard-pressed to find any more beautiful in a game) that you'll want to linger, once you've visited each area you can opt to quickly travel to any of them by selecting it on your map (buying a horse is another option for rapid transit).

About the cities:
quote:
(...) you must visit its nine sprawling cities. Each one is incredibly unique; every city's architecture, citizens, and weather all set it apart from the rest. Any building you see, you can enter - none are off limits. In the capital metropolis of Imperial City, for instance, Greco-Roman columns and bright white walls mark its buildings (...) |
A quirky quest:
quote:
While browsing through a town shop, the owner mentions the disappearance of Rythe Lythandas, her husband and the town's most famous painter. Explaining that he went into his studio and never came out, you agree to look for him. Inside his studio, you touch his unfinished painting. Surprise, surprise - apparently the painting was created with a magic brush (...), and you're suddenly transported into a "dungeon" - one that looks like an interactive watercolor painting...

Four guilds are in: Fighter's, Mage's, Thieve's, and Dark Brotherhood.
Some statistics:
quote:
400+ books scattered around the world
200+ total dungeons
200 approximate hours it takes to see and do everything
150+ total quests |
Vampires:
quote:
You can become a vampire in Oblivion, and if you don't feed to keep it in check, you'll start sizzling in the sun and NPCs will run at the very sight of you. |
Trading spaces:
quote:
You can buy your own house(s) and furnish it in Oblivion. This will be handy for storing all your goods, whether they're legally acquired or not. |
