Elder Scrolls V: Oblivion Part 2?

Didn't Oblivion come with a nice paper map as standard? That's the least I expect.

Yeah and Skyrim will still have one too. Though I prefer the Morrowind map TBH, much more colourful. And hey a cloth map will be awesome

I'm always interested in bonus material, real maps and other paraphernalia, but I'm sure as Oblivion itself not coughing up over £120 for a statue I'm not interested in. If that's their latest strategy to make money, I'll wait for the non-collectors' edition.

Actually it is pretty common to make a super expensive version of the game where you're paying 60 bucks for some art and a statue.

Argonian's finally! And it's a lady, man!

Proving once again that the Escapist is a step ahead of every other forum

And yes, that orc does look like a human. Never fear, it's a player generated one, not an NPC. Here's a real orc.

Of course they reposted the pictures faster, the escapist is a gaming website, this is a subsection of a game-specific site The rest of their forum is pretty low quality though.

Anyway, good pictures, the races are looking good!

This Nord looks amazing!

I might even play a male viking-o-nord this time! Looking promising...

The game is Skyrim, for Boethiah's sake! If they can't do beards, plaits and snow properly, they're on the highway to hell!

 

[Double A]

Looks like a beard to me. A whussy beard, but still a beard.

I want to create a character who can't walk without tripping over his own beard!

 

[Maniacal]

There'll be a mod for that. And if not, request it or make it yourself

I kind of feel like choosing a Nord will be the most common choice for Skyrim characters, but I'm going to do it anyway (and then make more next year once some good mods are finished).

 

[Double A]

Also because it will probably be easier to kill the dragons with a greataxe than a dagger or destruction magic.

 

[Maniacal]

Magic is looking a lot better in Skyrim, and I'm certainly going to learn a bit of it. Never used daggers, mostly swords and bows.

 

[Double A]

I never understood why you would use a dagger when you could use a sword. 6x sneak attack damage works a lot better when the number you're multiplying isn't a zero.

 

[mechaerik]

Daggers are swung faster, but i mostly used swords for close combat.

 

[Double A]

Oooh. Faster. Because that matters so much when you can one shot everyone with a sword.

Or it would if it weren't for stupid level scaling enemies everywhere.

 

[sophie]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm it's called roleplaying? Maybe you've heard of it?

I remember creating a monster dagger in Oblivion, one I enchanted myself. The magical power was small but I could land so many blows.

 

[Mustakrakish]

Not sure if I remember right how enchanting worked in Oblivion... Didn't you need a soul gem + weapon and a special altar?

 

[Double A]

Yeah, and the only ones in the game were in the Mage's Guild in Imperial City and in Frostcrag Spire.
