I was kind of hoping that for Oblivion they would get away from the

no, they are just as bad. Last night my mage found a 25 pound
cutlass (not any weird metal, either). Good grief! I have a 6 foot
steel pry bar that doesn't weigh nearly that much! Most real one
handed swords are 3 pounds or less and even two handed swords rarely
were more than twice that. The armor weights seem reasonable at
least.

Well, if you'll notice, the loads most characters can handle are
ridiculously high, too, when compared with the "real world". My high elf
mage, a relative weakling, can still carry 150 pounds around, a weight that
would bring just about all but the strongest real world strongmen down in
short order.

I just take it that wherever the Elder Scrolls world is that they're a
crapload stronger than we are and forget about it. :-)


My figher-mage is approaching 500 with the help of augmented strength
and a certain alteration spell (Pack Mule, I think it's called. Quite
appropriate :)
