I got a feeling there might be flying mounts in this game.

Would certainly be a perfect fit for this setting

One of my favorite things to do in Morrowind was to fly all over the place, with constant effect Levitation and constant effect Invisibility. I used this to get around and explore, but didn't exploit it much otherwise, to keep things interesting. I really missed being able to do this in Oblivion, and hope to see a return to open cities and flying in the next release. I'm not holding my breath, but it would be cool in my book.

Nothing like flying right up to hovering cliff racers after enchanting the necessary items, and having them completely oblivious to me. I must admit, after all the torment they put me through up to that point, I did enjoy taking them out when they couldn't see me or strike back.

Exactly the thing I did...except rather than using invisibility, I had a Daedric Tower Shield enchanted with 45pts of Sanctuary, which made it near impossible for them to hit me. I'd LMAO when flying up in the Red Mountain area where they seem to be the worst, and let six or eight of them collect around me before I started killing them...better than chasing them down individually.

I've always thought that the devs should have made it a quest...seeing as how there are a bazillion of them, anyways, to hunt down the local cliff racers nests...perhaps have a queen ala Aliens. It'd give a good outlet for all those millions of Morrowind players who love to hate those damn things.

The closed up cities in Oblivion were a bid to keep the game more stable. But it was possible to have constant effect 100% chameleon. And go around killing and stealing at will.

@ReluctantSamurai: I loved that about Morrowind--it was so open and full of possibilities that you could be very creative in how you dealt with various challenges. The replay value was great in this respect.

It's the flying I really miss. I've read several articles on why the developers chose to contain the cities for reasons of stability. Just recently I read that there is a mod that allows for open cities, but I have not tried it.

When I first discovered 100% Chameleon I used it for a short while, but it ruined the fun as nothing but inanimate traps could detect and therefore react to me. Now when I fire up Oblivion to have a run, I don't use Chameleon at all, limiting myself to Sneak and occasionally, short Invisibility spells (<= 15 seconds). I've found it to be a lot more fun.

I'd like to see them revive flying while maintaining stability, and eliminate things like the near invulnerability that 100% Chameleon provides, but that's just me. I will most likely find ways to enjoy the game no matter what they deliver.
