Im running Oblivion at 800x600 on my 9800XT 3000+ @ 2.3 with maxed out settings. Game is stunning.

Can you imagine what the modders are going to do with it?!

there are talks of horse armour on the official boards but I think that Bethseda want you to pay for some of their mods.

I honestly cannot confirm this however

2*aa + bloom lowest fps seen 27 is that bad?

How does oblivion cope on the 6600gt. Im hoping the game will look pretty good as I promised i'd only upgrade when UT2007 comes out

See my post here with a 6800NU, whcih will be a little bit faster (20%?) than a 6600GT

Not all of it is supposed to be like in those screenies, i do not know which parts of oblivion are in the game but from what i know of TES there are different parts of oblivion.

OK installing

Quite interested to know how my X850 XT PE will cope.

Well this game has been great fun so far, time flys when your playing it.
I did some quests and explorerd about a bit, I managed to get a horse and was on my horsey in the woods at night in a strange place, kacking my pants hehe

I jumped over a which I thought was some rocks but was actually the side of a cliff, poor horse died but I survived. He died on impact and his body slide down the slope poor thing lol

Btw how do you take screenshots, I edited the ini file and print screen still dosnt do anything ?

A bit weird its disabled by default.

Phalanx · 23 Mar 2006 at 00:15

most people probably use a program called FRAPS to take screenshots. It also displays your FPS and records video which is rather handy at times

My mum is hopefully going to pick it up from GAME tomorrow so I'll have it by the evening.

Can't wait to see what Glass and Ebony armour look like

This game is not for me, after about 4hrs Ive given up, its so dull. Impressive, maybe I would have loved playing it 10 years ago, but I dont have the same attitude anymore towards games. Nothing in it so far has amazed me or made we want to continue playing, its still the same old RPG thing - kill things, get items, replace old items with better items, kill more things, sort out your pack, bla bla bla.. But its all too slow and the combat is unexciting.

Hi,

How do you drop items from you inventory?

Left click and hold for a second then drag outside the inventory panel.

Viral · 23 Mar 2006 at 00:38

Or you could hold down shift and left click on the item to remove it, thats what its says in the instructions too.

Chaos · 23 Mar 2006 at 00:39

Think you can shft click to drop to.

Edit: pah to slow

You have to edit two files. One in the game folder and the other in my documents.

You can also drop items by holding down left shift and then clicking on the item.

Has anyone had any problems with the screen going black? Using the 84.25 drivers on a 7800gt ee. It goes along fine then all of a sudden goes black apart from the icons at the bottom and the only cure is to exit completely and restart.

Hey,

Well I have played for an hour and all in all its pretty good. However, I am not entirely impressed with the performance (having a X850 XT PE). The loading times are fantastic. I have 2GB and it takes around 15 seconds to load a map.

James J · 23 Mar 2006 at 01:56

Gameplay said they'd post mine today at around 11am this morning - checked it all day and it said picking and I just got the confirmation email at 12 mins to midnight that its on its way to me lol :\

No early game for me

Friday hopefully

Yewen · 23 Mar 2006 at 01:59

Already said earlier in the thread that Gameplay emails on today should mean you get your game tommorrow.

I went with someone else, as it was £5 cheaper at the time, so I am hoping that it comes tommorrow, if not it will be friday

nikebee · 23 Mar 2006 at 02:28

my collectors edition was posted today from Oi! No Competitors!... should *hopefully* be with me by friday
