The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

[Ultima Dragoon]

All the reviews and the bethesda and stuff. When you say this is an epic world full of adventure and excitement, and then flash me images of knights and guys in armorand monsters and wizards, I immediatly think(from our cultural brainwashing) that they mean huge epic battles and long drawn out fights and all that medeival jazz. I got pretty much none of that. I still liked it though.

That's the Essence of the main Quest.

In all fairness, Oblivion is a quest game/Dungeon Crawler, not something like Battlefield or AOE where you can set up epic games.

I mean dont get me wrong, I still lvoe the game, I just had a totally different idea of what it was going to be is all. I really wish they would imrpove the combat though.....its so ughhhh.....

I found a cool little cheat for the thievs guild fencing.

You go to Burma, and during the night, go over to Olan the world weary's house. It should be unlocked. In there he has books, food, and some weapons that respawn every night. I found it pretty cool that I sold his own stuff to him

Argonians make good thieves, not warriors - but you could have a mixture of classes, thus making a rouge (or is that rogue? I always get that mixed up) warrior (warrior and thief attributes). Although, my first character was something like that. There is a difference between female and male characters -- female Argonians tend to be stealthier, and males have more HP.

Also, the Shivering Isles expansion is set to come out this Spring.

I'm wondering if there's any new guilds - seems like there might be new classes.

Not that new classes give us much, since you can make up your own at will.

I'm liking the level-up speed of my Nord with Alchemy and Heavy Armor as a main skills.

Grrr - I just saw this on another forum. Wiki link for back-up.

It looks like they brought spears back too - YAY! Also the weapons in the last frame look awesome.

I still haven't been able to find a mod that

Spoiler :

reopens the gates after you beat the game.

 

[Methos]

I recall a mod that allowed your character to open a gate whether you'd be the main quest or not. Basically your character created it and creatures could come out of it. It's been a while since I've come across it though. I'd say at least a couple of months.

Hmm, strange, on the wiki for media formats it says DVD, and not CD. That's strange, but I like it. DVDs last longer than CDs right?

 

[Ecclesiastes]

No but instead of twenty(or so) disks wele have one DVD, thats the main difference and thats also why older PS1 games with lots of CG videos had three or four disks.

I thought Oblivion was DVD-only? Mine is.

 

[Maniacal]

O_o

OH maybe it is, so is mine. Heh heh heh... YAY!

 

[Ecclesiastes]

Ya if it was on CD we would have like ten disks, its a huge game.

 

[Evie]

I hate the stupid marauders. They won't give me Ebony Gauntlets. It's all I need to complete my set

 

[Xtream_Rockstar]

so are all the expansion packs going to be M rated ?
and what about the future Games

They're M-rated because the first one was -- and only if you downloaded a certain mod before the 1.1 patch. I think there is a blood and gore setting you can turn down. (I remember Duke Nukem 3D was one of the first games to use that feature back in the 90s. )

Hey now, I remember playing that as well as Wolfenstein and I don't believe I'm too old, yet.

 

[Maniacal]

Er, there's NO gore in Oblivion, the blood isn't even very long lasting. I tried to extend it ut I couldn't find the right code.
