GamesPlanet has sat down with Bethesda Softworks' Pete Hines for a quick chat regarding their upcoming RPG, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Here's bit on the sweet looking forests:

How did you manage to make these forest look so true to life? Didn’t it take a huge amount of time?
Well, we’ve been working on the game for over three years so, yes, it definitely took a lot of work on everyone’s part. The forests use a combination of different technologies to achieve the desired effect. This was our big graphical thing to shoot for this time. Last time, with Morrowind, it was water. This time, it was doing big, photorealistic forests. Trust me when I say forests are tougher to pull off than water.
