Here's an interesting thread that summed up the list of PR 'exaggerations' Bethesda have gone through to hype Oblivion:

When you look at it that way you see some pretty blatant lies have been told.
I think the angle you focus most on Oblivion in this forum is that Oblviion isn't an RPG/Bethesda devs are prostitutes/the gaming audience is becoming younger and more moronic.
What if Bethesda's goal is not even to make a good game but simply to scam people out of money. That they're not dumb or selling out - they are good at what they do which is what professional 'criminals' do (even if it's hard to prove that they broke any laws).
Criticizing Bethesda for messing up TES is like attacking Monsanto for not caring about farmers. OK, maybe that's not a good analogy...
What do you think?
