How so? Oblivion was the most anticipated game of 2006.
When they did start to show off the tech, Havok physics, facial animations, Speedtree, expansive environments, etc.; no one was expecting that, particularly those who were expecting Morrwind part 2 (like many are predicting this will be Oblivion part 2).
I hope they make TES5 more expansive in the way Morrowind seemed to be limitless in the amount of new discoveries and hidden things to find.
