Anyone else get it i just started and its pretty amazing. The character creation could have been better but the graphics are amazing.

 

yeah I played it for a bit over at my buddies house earlier today on his bro's HDTV at 1080i, and it definitely looks great. The character models faces could have been better, and the horses could use some more polygons. There was quite a bit of popup on foliage when riding the horse, but it does look really good.

the loading is usually pretty fast too, except for the occasional 5 minute load

awesome draw distance and 90% of the time the transition from low detail models to high detail is perfect.

 

I didnt see it at best buy today.

Still fucking around with GRAW anyway.

 

Yeah when you go to different areas or towns is does take a while to load but hey its a big game. Hmm best buy didnt have it? I bought it from gamestop. Good game I suggest people with 360 should pick it up soon.

 

Well.. lets start off with me saying that I have been playing these since the First Elder Scrolls game, Arena in 1994. So yes, I got my Collector's Edition last night

I'm VERY happy with the game. It runs GREAT on my PC on high detail settings.

My rig:

Athlon XP X2 4400+ (overclocked)
2 gigs of RAM
ATI x1600 XT


Oblivion is meant for dual core processors.. so it really moves. The loading times are almost non-existent for me.


Gameplay is amazing, its both an easy to use/learn game with some serious depth. Combat was never a strong suit of the previous games, instead plot and character development were. But now combat/magic and stealth are vastly improved.. I love it. Its great swinging a sword into a goblin and watch the physics knock him into a wall.

If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask

 

Nice cept my computer cant handle that so I got for 360. How far are you?

 

Well, I'm THE Listener in the Dark Brotherhood Thats the highest rank..

I am in charge of recruiting/training new members and I get paid 200 gold coins a week for salary

I'm a level 10 "adventurer" since I always choose my skills. I've got my sneak skill at 90 already

Oh and I just bought my first house.. cost me 15,000 gold. No furniture or paintings yet, so its quite spartan.

 

Sweet you can buy houses. Im in oblivion right now about to break the siege of Kvatch. Im a lvl 1 Nordic Pilgrim.

 

if you are experiencing long load times...

GI JOE IS A NERD!!!!!!

And I respect you even more because of it

 

is this an mmorpg or something more like fable...damn i wish they made a new fable...that game kicked ass

 

Got it yesterday on my 360. I'm loving the game so far. I somewhat liked Morrowind, but the combat was terrible, but this is MUCH improved. Graphics look great as expected and there is just SO much to do. I've barely even scratched the surface even after playing 3+ hours. I definitely can't wait to play more.

 

Ever played Ultima Underworld? Morrowind?

Its a Massive Single Player RPG.

:fanboybias: I wont be surprised if it scores Game of the Year

 

I've been a gaming nerd since King's Quest I

 

Lol^. Pilgrims suck so i made a crusader got through the oblivion gate and got martin to the blades temple in less then a hr.

 

Umm i need some help. What do you do when you have all 4 books about tha daderic cult? I spoke to the lady at arcane university she said read them so I did and nothing has happened. Also has anyone joined the mages guild? Where is Faelars living quarters I cant find the recomendation I need to get into arcane university. And also where do I find the dark brotherhood I wanna join up.

 

1) Did you get the clue about the sun, noon time and the tower? You need to head over to the Imperial Palace I think. There are some graves and tombs near the entrance.. and there is a crypt. On the outer wall of that crypt is a map that only shines around noontime. It'll automatically put the location of their meeting place on your personal map.

2) No, havent joined yet. sorry

3) The dark brotherhood? Kill an innocent person and you'll find out soon enough

 

How do I kill an innocent person without getting caught? And also where is daelothora garden I want to join the thieves guild I need money badly.

 

im trying to 'find' a copy of this game...hopefully it will help cure my wow addiction

 

Sneak into someone's home while they are asleep.. and hopefully kill them with one hit. No cry for help

The garden is in the waterfront district of the imperial city. Go there after midnight

 

O sweet well right now im getting some tears of this knight to sell to this dude for some money. This is game is so addicting I hope it doesnt kill me academically.

 

I just wanted to bump this thread to say that Oblivion is one of the best experiences I've had with a video game in a LONG time. I'm totally addicted (too bad I actually have to work as I could see myself playing this all day) and the game really draws you inside it's universe.

If you have a 360 or a powerful gaming rig, definitely pick this up. Definite GOTY condender.

What all do I have to do first in order for Brother Martin to follow me? They won't leave the freakin church.. And where do I find the key for the church basement doors?

 

Dont tell me that...I'm still trying to get used to Ghost Recon, when I find the time to play it.

 

Ken, SRK85 help please..

^

 

You have to tell the captain in kvatch to go the the church. You have to clear everything from the gate to the church. Then the captain comes in and you talk to martin and then you take martin to the cloud ruined temple.

 

Ok, I cleared the guys and even went into that crazy area and had the portal closed down.. That was nuts.. Should I help the guys at the front of the gate now or should I tell them to wait? They asked for help but I didn't know if I was missing something.

Where is the cloud ruined temple?

The only tough part about the game is there's like a million different missions going on at once.. I think I owe like 3-4 people help..

 

If you cleared the Oblvion gate go talk the people outside the city. Remeber keep checking your quest log for information. You need to take a bunch of Kvatch guards through the town and to the chapel. After you clear the way to the chapel go talk to Martin and you take him to cloud ruined temple but also need to find Jauffre back at weynon priory too and tell him you found martin.

 

Where's the quest log?

Also, I'm still confused on the magic and shit.. Can I create my own magic?

 

Does this partake of Xbox Live, too?

 

I'm definetely picking this up soon. I just hope my computer can handle it at a decent res. I loved Morrowind and hear this is much better so should be a blast.

 

What are you playing oblivion in 360 or the computer. If its 360 you hit b then hit R till the quest log appears.

 

 

I think not my friend. I heard that its a SINGLE PLAYER ONLY, in this case good for you since you dont have LIVE.

 

here is a bump for this game, to which I am hopelessly addicted

 

do the fighter guild quests get any better? because they have been terribly boring compared to the Dark Brotherhood quests

 

They suck IMO. Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild > *

 

I picked it up for 360 a few days ago and I wish I would have got the PC version.

Anyways, Where do I find Ectoplasm? A ghost I assume, but where are they?

 

Lol i got addicted to but since its the end of the semester for me i dont have that much time to play. But this game is amazing bumpity bump bump.
