Galkar Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 So, this game is just over 2 weeks away, and we've gotten a few hands-on articles from various game jounralists, who here is planning on getting it? Even though I hated Morrowind, I spent about 80 hours on it, probably more than on any other game except perhaps Pokemon Blue, and I'm almost certainly going to get Oblivion, though this time for PC, not Xbox.

darkon Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'll get it once I finish high school and get a job. But yeah, I am anticipating it. Quote Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 If it's better than Morrowind, I'll get it. I wasted so many hours on that damn game. Quote Link to comment
David Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'll get it on XBox as I don't want to bother with upgrading my PC to shave off a couple seconds off the loading time. Plus it's too tempting with the PC to just pull up the console and spawn a Golden Saint. Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I really loved/hated Morrowind. Loved the idea... Hated the game itself. Quote Link to comment
Belial Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I loved/loved Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. But then again, I like RPGs where you can do whatever you want, such as Ultima VII and Fable. Quote Link to comment
Baltar Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I loved/loved Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. But then again, I like RPGs where you can do whatever you want, such as Ultima VII and Fable. I agree with that. I love non-linear RPG's, so Oblivion will be right in my backyard. Quote Link to comment
darkon Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I love non-linear games also. But the problem is I waste so much time on them. My time feels much better used in a linear. But non-linear is leaps and bounds more enjoyable... Quote Link to comment
Belial Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Oh man, I was playing some Elder Scrolls III on my X-Box earlier today. Can't wait for this game to come out, I'm going to download images so fast. Quote Link to comment

Alundra Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 That 70$ price tag for the 360 game is a bit too much no matter how you slice it. *Buys PC version* Quote Link to comment
Kreutz Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I'll get it on XBox as I don't want to bother with upgrading my PC to shave off a couple seconds off the loading time. Plus it's too tempting with the PC to just pull up the console and spawn a Golden Saint. Or to boost your stats and go around pillaging villages like a fucking viking. Sucks that the city guards scale their stats to beat yours, though. Quote Link to comment
David Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 They never got close with 100 jumping ability and a Daedric Bow. Or items enchanted for 100% chameleon. Took forever to find the command to create Daedric Arrows though. Quote Link to comment

Took forever to find the command to create Daedric Arrows though. Full chameleon was nice, but even with more than 100% some people could still see you. In the xbox version, I enchanted a set of exquisit clothes and rings to give me 120% and powerful enemies could still see me. Quote Link to comment
Baltar Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 there are about a billion screens and videos of this RPG because the graphics are amazing for a RPG. It is first person but you can switch to thrid person view as well. Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 If the battle system is completely different from Morrowind I don't really see a problem. Quote Link to comment
Belial Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 If the battle system is completely different from Morrowind I don't really see a problem. Not even completely different, but if its just much more fast paced and involved. Oh, and the Magic system could stand to get a bit of boost, since it was a little (or a lot) on the lame side.

J-Stop Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 For anyone that cares, Gamespot is running a live 12 hour gameplay marathon at the moment. They're in hour 4 at the time of posting this. Quote Link to comment

Galkar Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Then maybe I'm an idiot because it's telling me I need to subscribe. Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 You have to sign up. Fooligan. But you don't have to pay. Quote Link to comment
Galkar Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 I did. I am currently logged in with my free account and it tells me I have to "subscribe." Quote Link to comment
Alundra Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Went to Best Buy, EB, and CompUSA: "Sorry, we only have the XBOX360 version, come back later when we put out the PC version" "I have work at 2 today, can't you just give me the PC version now, what's the difference?" "I just can't, sorry" Quote Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Wow. That's really, really dumb. Quote Link to comment
