The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

[RizZy]

Just got it in the post this morning, update to follow I guess.

1st impression is that its pretty good, the game plays fairly easy to get into with the RPG & Questing elements there but not to intense so its no to overwelming for the normal gamers like me out there, the gfx are nice & the control system is simple so that you only have to remember a few keys ( most fpsers will be use to them allready ) & everything else you need to know or find out is through a menu system.

So far I'm fairly impressed, if you like your swords & sorcery & fancy a new game to play, give it a go.

Yeah i like it also.

Normally i don't play these kind of games long but this one will be pld much

Any estimate on how it'll perform on a 2.4GHz comp with a 9800pro and 512Mb RAM?

PC zone gave it 93% said it would have scored 96% if it wasn't for the rubbish npc chatting - ie repetitive and non-sensical

Aye, I read that, they did make it sound good fun though, the open ended life type thing sounds different.

[Jamoe]

Yeah, they where raving about it actually, saying how open ended it is, and nice that fighting, etc is down to your skill not a dice roll.

made me, um, buy it. It should have arrived today...

(as a side note, I'm getting a few more CM2006 games done, so I'll update that soon as well)

Played Morrowind for quite a while. Felt quite alone w/o the online ability... Guess I would do the same with this.

[Benny]

Well, I played my way out of the first dungeon.

A bit undecided. Combat is different, a bit thief like with the arra's, but it seemed a bit week in the graphics department. (I've got it on full). The story unfolds well however and the Tom Baker voice does make a difference.

Leaving the sewer it opens into the world and is *MUCH* nicer looking. Didn't get much chance to go further. Looking forward to getting to a town and having a nose around. Don't like the fact it doesn't auto equip better items, don't like how you drop things.

Do like the fact that inventory pauses the game so you can knock up a potion etc. I've made a concious effort to try something other than my usual run and gun. So have gone for......the same as everyone else....an assassin. Mainly due to the PC Gamer review.

More to follow.

Any more news Benninio as I'm thinking of buying it?

[RizZy]

I'd say buy it, well worth it imho.

As a side note I've also bought Oblivion, still waiting for those FM upates though mate  :whistle:

I got it on release and I love it, looks are stunning, I got really into it actully helped me kick the WoW habbit.

The AI is not great but it is a really ingrossing game.  I would suggest you get on with the first quest cause you get a horse and you can spend days just running it is soo huge.  

Tchrin did write a review of it. Review of Oblivion

I had to stop to get some practice in for LAN and studying but once I pass I will return to the world of OBLIVION....(oh great here we go again)
