I've already told my girlfriend I may be a bit scarce for a couple of weeks after the game comes out... she was surprisingly understanding too.

My other half is moaning about it already lol.... "I suppose I won't see you for weeks" etc etc!

My reccommendation: take her out for a nice meal on the day you finish it.

Same here. She was like "for a computer game" and I simply replied "For Oblivion!".

Please tell me you had a full suit of armour on and a sword pointing skyward when you said that to her

That's my mental image anyway....as she closes the door behind her

What does it mean when it says "You have a 2Ghz performance rated at 3.5ghz"?

I thought that 2.2ghz is 2.2ghz?

tim_enchanter · 19 Mar 2006 at 13:54

That would probably relate to an AMDs pentium equivalent rating, his 2.2ghz amd performs similar a 3.2 pentium.
Like the XP3200 rating

What's that bit of software you guys are using there?

Edit. Just noticed I mixed up the numbers on your screenies, nevermind
I have a feeling this is going to be one very slow week at work

I told mine I might not be about for a while and I got "if you'd rather be a geek and play your little computer games thats fine". At least shes ok with it

Tried to show her the videos so she could see what I was excited about, but she didn't seem very impressed... meh women...

She won't go anywhere because I own the best "Sword of Romancing (+3)" in all the land.

as Long as she doesn't have the necklace of betrayal +4

Realised just after posting, I was being an idiot, kept looking for Elders

.

*edit*

Mmm passed everything but cpu, it didnt seem to know what speed it was. It called it:

"You Have: AMD Athlon(tm)"

Its an old style amd running at 2.2ghz.

Morrowind swallowed loads of my time, but I never finished the main quest. Maybe I'll have the will to this time! My computer meets the recommended spec with no problem, my graphics card is just a 6800LE, but I think it should run in 1280x1024 on high settings.. here's hoping

Nieldo · 19 Mar 2006 at 18:18

Im leaving the main quest till last, I wanna get stuck in with the smaller quests.

Psyk · 19 Mar 2006 at 18:31

Yay my PC easily passed the recommended spec. I think I'll just go with the flow with this game. I think with morrowind i spent too much time looking at guides to see where all the quests were. With this one I'll just see what I come across. It spoils the immersion if you know what to expect.

Small spoiler here for morrowind so some might want to avoid:

Although when I played morrowind, I certainly did not expect to find a half naked man that was on a quest to get his clothes back from an evil witch

I had that guy follow me for hours! He was a great help when I got into a few fights.

Very much doubt that I'm afraid, I've heard reports that people are looking at about 15fps with eye candy on full at 1280x1024 with a 6800 ultra, and about 35 with a 1900xt, can't remember where I saw it now though.

This is the reason for me driving to stoke on friday morning to buy a new graphics card, from my 6800 ultra to a 1900xt. :/
