From their giant flea-like appearance to the way they're controlled everything about them gives me the creeps.

Any creepy TES fauna and flora you're not a fan of?

I miss these, Morrowind was such an inspired game with such unique environments

I was legitimately angry when I first played oblivion and learned you could just teleport anywhere automatically right from the start of the game

I was mildly annoyed when I played Oblivion for the first time and learned that the parts of Tamriel other than Vvardenfell have generic woodland and fantasy creatures instead of the acid trip fever dream shit they came up with for Morrowind.

I was also pissed off when I found out they removed levitation.

The area Oblivion takes place in was supposed to be jungle. But Todd Howards gotta be as generic as possible.

Oblivion was developed during mid 2000s during/after LOTR mania. I loved the art direction but it was definitely chosen for mass market appeal over anything else
