Hey all! Just wanted to post my story here about Oblivion...
Bought the game Sunday, 60$US (Yes I got the collectors edition, the last copy of it they had), I don't really mind paying the extra 10$ for the nicer case and stuff, but it definately isn't necessary because I plan on playing the game more than reading a leather book that isn't really more than just a story anyways...)
Anyways brought it home, plugged it in.....computer wouldn't even detect the disc. Then I realized it was a DVD rom game...DAMN! My best computer doesn't have DVD so I went and bought that the next day, 100$...brought it home. Error messages up the wazoo! Realized my graphics card sucked went out and shelled out another 220$...game runs flawlessly on low graphics settings (even though it's lowest they are still AMAZING). I only had one bug with it so far when I was trying to tweak some of the shading details in options menu, had to resort to default after that. Oh and once a rat attacked me up in the mountains I fell through a "crack" and .... reappeared at the top of the earth lol. anyways, i know you all are aware but this game KICKS SO MUCH ASS!!!!!!!!!!! I plan on wasting away for years on it, it is so HUGE, i get lost in the dungeons like crazy sometimes. Haven't really done many quests as I've only played for about 4 hours (and i spent a long time making my char lol).
I learned a "trick" i guess also, I stole a white horse from some stables and ran away. When you are at a cliff with a very steep incline, you can usually climb up it even if it's nearly vertical, the horse does not slip backwards and if you keep jumping he can actually get up to the peaks of the mountains, it was a breathtaking view of the land atop the highest peak just northeast of the town in the beginning as sunset came... *eyes tear up*, I am so addicted! Bravo Bethesda, Bravo!
