This one could turn into quite a bit of trouble, but Majestic Studios title Limbo of the Lost has been reviewed by gaming site GamePlasma, and they claim that it has stolen some of the level design structures from The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

Eric, being the avid PC gamer that he is, noticed that there were some similarities between Limbo of the Lost and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

The first example of this can be seen in the screenshots from Oblivion and Limbo of the Lost below. Notice how everything is placed in exactly the same place and almost all of the textures are identical. In fact, the only real difference is the quality of the texture and overall graphical look. Even the portrait that can be seen under the stairs is exactly the same as the one that can be found in Oblivion. Also, take note of the placement of the rug in the middle of the floor and the placement of the stairways. These similarities lead to many questions. How rampant are situations like this in games that fall under the radar of the typical gaming crowd?


 
Just look at those screenshots, it's shocking indeed. We'll be expecting a comment from Bethesda very soon.

How did they think they could get away with it? All the time gamers spend exploring levels in RPG's means we are quite familiar with the environments. Very expensive mistake...no wonder the Devs can't be reached.
