After doing a bit more research i rember reading about 1 new class which was a necromancer so that should be fun rising ppl from graves

"Necromancer" is actually an existing class in MW - but it's turned off for play. If you have the PC version you can turn on all the "hidden" classes, like "Farmer", "Enforcer" etc. But the necro isn't very interesting to play I'm afraid.

nope i'm sure that's whats been recomended

Min was 2 ghz cpu and 128mb graphics card iirc.

So if I was to play Morrowind again, what are the essential mods that make the graphics look better?

From what I can tell "Better Bodies" and "Better Heads"?

What are the best texture ones?

I had hoped it was all a mistake but..

Thank you for the following order placed with GAME.

As you may already be aware, the UK release date for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has changed to 12-May-2006.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh.

MAY!!!!

jesus, this is getting silly.

i was hoping this would come out last november for the winter, I hate it when games like this come out in the summer, typical

speeduk · 7 Feb 2006 at 19:58

May lol thats stupid. I thought it was only delayed to tweak a few graphical bugs and now its delayed even longer. Getting a bit like HL2.

Hmmm :mad:

Tommer · 7 Feb 2006 at 20:06

i heard a while back (but like every its probably a rumour) that the pc version was finished before xmas and it was just the 360 version that needed tweaking and going over.

sachinbadiani · 7 Feb 2006 at 20:07

I hope all nasty bugs are sorted out at this stage. There was a problem with the shadowing system, maybe they are going to rectify that???

Morrowind does look good with all the retexture packs but I still wish they would find a way to remove the fog, I can't stand the fog

I've just ordered the Gold edition, now to look for some mods!

WHAT!!! said:
My self I think i'll go for the 360 verson although im sure the PC may have its advantages over the 360 with keyboard & mouse functionality.

Definitely the Xbox360, this is the kind of game that will benefit from being able to slump on a big couch and play on a 42" screen. Plus, I won't have to faff with any settings to get it looking awesome.

Oh for **** sake, MAY!!!????

This is turning into a joke....

Can PC's not be hooked up to big screen TV's :confused:

Genuine question. I always thought they could be

Hmm I just cancelled my order because the status changed from in stock to 2-6 weeks!

Looking around the Gold edition had become rare! Defeats the whole point in playing again if it will be out AFTER Oblivion.

They can do very easily but it would be a pain in the butt to sit back on the couch with a mouse and keyboard.

Found this which says its going gold in the next 2 weeks. Also mentions Press Demo's in Germany which suggests a euro release shouldn't be far behind the US if at all?

Could all be a load of crap but I thought it was worth posting incase its true

Hostile_18 · 8 Feb 2006 at 14:04

TBH A month or two isn't the end of the world next to the STALKER and DNF delays lol.

This game will be worth the wait, though it is a bit annoying if the PC version has been ready since Christmas.
