I love The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.  I think everyone here knows that.  I've been playing it almost non-stop since I picked up my Xbox 360 a few weeks back.  It's really the most beautiful game ever created.

That being said, the idea that we're going to spend $2.50 for each tiny mod is asinine at best.

Now I'm not going to berate Bethesda.  They've gotta stick their toes into the microtransaction waters like everyone else.

I am, however, going to berate anyone who would buy this nonsense.  Everyone knows that the first expansion will include all this stuff, most likely.  By the time the first expansion comes out, most people will be able to upgrade their PCs to Oblivion's level, PC hardware being what it is.  All else failing, it's not hard to imagine an Oblivion GOTY version eventually hitting the 360, like what happened with Morrowind.

In other words, you'll be able to get this content in expansion packs that you'll probably buy anyway, all without getting nickel and dimed to death.

In other words, hold the hell on.  It's not worth it.
