Thank goodness!  I thought it was just me!
After seeing all the magazines simply drool over this game, and then 
hearing some good reports, I thought Arena was going to be great.  I *did*
think it was great, until I got to about the third piece of the staff, and
started realizing, say, haven't I been here before...

Totally repetitive, no plot, no originality.  Nothing.
Decent engine, but combat and such are a breeze; no strategy required.
What a shame.  I sincerely hope "Daggerfall" is better - and by "better",
I mean that they actually put some *effort* into the gameplay.  Otherwise,
Bethesda is going to be seriously disappointed.
