has word from Pete Hines of Bethesda Softworks, who says a demo for Fallout 3 is
not in the cards: When you build it as one thing, there's no way to
portion off a section and have it stand on its own without putting the whole
game in the demo, which we're just not going to do. And it doesn't really
capture the fun of a game like an Elder Scrolls or a Fallout, where you can go
where you want and do what you want. So no demo, sorry.

Thank God for Stardock. Best publisher in PC gaming. EVER. That's what I keep hearing. Hopefully someday they'll make a game that interests me, so I can see for myself.
Has Bethesda been lax in patching Oblivion? Sure. I won't defend that. Are there any remaining unresolved issues with Oblivion? Regardless, they were slow to patch the game, but in their defense it didn't seem to need much patching.
You seem to have some difficulty understanding the difference between a MOD and a TOTAL CONVERSION. I have one big problem with Vanilla Oblivion and that's its scaled levels/loot crap. While it was fine the first time through, it does make the game a bit pointless to replay, since you're just going to see the same stuff again as you did last time, no matter where you go. I have no desire to replay Oblivion even with scaling mods. Is it because it's a bad game? No - I don't get much out of replaying any RPG I can recall. Morrowind had no replay value for me, and many other games were only interesting to replay because of their stories. But even the great infinity engine games (all of them except the IWD games, which were too much of a chore when it came to the constant combat which always took a while to finish, only to face another onslaught 5 minutes later) eventually get rather boring when I replay them. Going back and repeating the mediocre sections of the game (however few they are) makes me lose interest quickly. That's just how RPGs seem to me. But do I count that against Oblivion? How can I, when I don't count it against my favorite RPGs? I got over 40 hours out of Oblivion, so I got my money's worth and I don't see any sense in bashing it. I'm confident I'll get the same value out of Fallout 3, so it's an insta-buy for me.
