Oblivion elder scrolls IV

I fail :(

I remember the quest to cure it seemed almost impossible at the time, I cured it in the end but really dont remember how, seems so long ago but I know it was epic because certain parts stick in my mind, probably breaking into houses and robbing and murdering innocent people whilst they sleep, is that wrong?
 
It took me 3 days of fiddling about to get all the mods working properly but was well worth the grief... I have something stupid like about 11GB of mods working now! :eek:

It's downloading away now. Might look into the mods after I put it on my new pc, this one barely meets min requiements haha

In 2006 you needed a monster of a pc to run in on max.
If your current rig barely meets the minimum requirements then hold off until you have a better rig. This game likes 2gb ram and 512mb of graphics memory to crank up the settings.
 
Well worth getting Oblivion, and yes the default levelling does seem a little "wierd" at first, but some creatures have a max level of say 4 for rats, 8 for goblins, but perhaps 20 for minotaurs and ogres so you do feel like you're getting more powerful as you level up.

I'd recommend playing at least 1 character a bit on normal levelling system before experimenting with mods that alter it, as your first character will probably end up a bit "jack of all trades" unless you read up a LOT before making a character.

This is making me want to play Oblivion again, but I know if I start playing it again bang goes another ~100+ hrs of game time :p
 
thinking about this myself. Played morrowind and got lost and board very quickly. Played Fallout 3 and finnished it too quickly and cba to do side quests. For £7 might be worth a punt.
 
Its a fun game and as others have said there are gazillions of mods for it. One of the most fun are the weapon mods. One of them lets you fire arrows at the rate of a Gatling gun hahaha! And you dont have to worry about runnin outta arrows cuz you can just use a console command to replenish them.

Another arrow mod gives the arrow insane kinetic energy. So when it hits the bad guy it lifts him like 10 meters of the ground and carries him some distance ahahahaa!

These are things to do after you get to grips with the game. Enjoy it for a bit in its original form. Once youre done get modding. Some texture mods completely bling the game. Only problem once you mod....its hard to stop. But you must otherwise you get bogged down in it instead of playing.

Also its not always the big mods that are the best. For example theres a tiny one that makes you encounter wild animals more often.

It is of course showing its age but dont let that put you off. Its the *gameplay* that excels. As evidenced today by newer games that look spectacular but...hmmm....why are they in the bargain bin for £2?

:D

I always forget how to read those maths equations.. is that

Morrowind is better than Oblivion, which is better than Fallout 2, or the other way around?

:D

With the Elder Scrolls series, Morrowind's better than Oblivion.

With the Fallout series, Fallout 1 & 2 are better than Fallout 3.

Not all together, which is why I put a comma between the two series. Guess I should've separated them by a line instead. :o

I must say that Morrowind sucked me in to the world a lot more than Oblivion. I played MW solid on the flight from London->Sydney a while back :p

I'd love to play MW again but the animations and graphics are just a bit eurgh by these days standards.
 
Oblivion is still immense in its gameplay world. As others have mentioned theres TONS of mini quests all over the place...and gobs of places to explore. I love the underground dungeons with their ambient sound effects and floating firefly thingies.
 
Oblivion has Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean as voice actors.

That alone means you should buy this game and worship it's very existence.
