Well, I've played through the main quest more than a few times. I've played every side quest at least once. I've explored more than my fair share of caves and temples, and I've messed with a lot of mods. It's weird that I've managed to play it so much considering I usually find 0 replay value in games that have some kind of story.
Oh man, please do not bring CS:S up. It's NOT a counter-strike game. It plays like COD.
Also, compare the prize pots for cs 1.6 (€100.000+) to those of CS:S (€10.000)
EDIT: I'm not oldskool btw. I've only been playing it for 3 years.
Well, CS:S can get really really really repetitive after a while. Death on them for not having AS_... on CS:S, which was my favorite from 1.6.
Same goes with CoD, it gets boring with that low amount of maps that expands twice a year with 15$ map packs, and then they removed my favorite game type, the cage match, nothing in that game compares to the feeling of hearing the ambient sounds while hunting a single individual hunting you.
Probably just me, got tired of WoW too after a month too.
Oblivion was one of the few games that I've enjoyed in a long time (well, since I was a kid with my SNES).[1] I think what attracted me to it was how vast the world was. I like exploring.

Have you played Fallout 3? It had enemy level scaling, but it was nowhere near as bad as Oblivion's. Bethesda has said that they will be using a system similar to that of Fallout 3 in Skyrim.
I own Fallout 3 but I really dislike it. Mostly for the fact that you need DLC to continue after you beat the main quest which is something I didn't know before I beat the main quest.
It's a good game, but the ending ruins most of it for me.
I'm not sure if you watched that entire video from the link I posted previously, but the leveling system for individual skills looks so much more badass than Oblivion or Fallout. I wonder if I could get a review copy...
Yeah, the ending was pretty terrible, but everything leading up to it was Grade A Awesome. I had no problem continuing though..since I bought the GOTA edition o_0
