Anyone heard of these games?
They were a set of RPGs released by a German company and despite the flaws in the series, they were IMO pretty good. The combat is restricted to one button like Oblivion, but flows much smoother and has the option to jump back from attacks. Other than that there are swords wreathed in fire, interesting magic and a few other things that other games of the genre haven't touched.
In particular I noticed they have a spell for shapechanging into animals you target and a set of portable teleport stones hidden around the map in place of fast travel (both something Oblivion could have done with). I haven't managed to get the latest one yet (Gothic 4), but I'm curious to see what the developers have done with it.
