Oblivion is pretty aptly named.

[Trotskilicious]

I'm playing it now for the 1st times, I have been sucked in entirely.

[Order 66]

i hear its more streamlined than morrowind?

[Trotskilicious]

never played morrowind.

it's practically fallout except prettier environment, uglier people (if you can believe it) and magic.

leveling up is a different schema too but it's still very similar.

[duovamp]

Loved bof dem games.

[Trotskilicious]

my chick can jump like crazy but i'm having trouble killing stuff quickly. most of the time i just electro shock them bitches and run in a circle, dodging their attacks and stabbin them every now and again. fights with zombies usually take at least 3 mins, it's sort of sad but also kind of awesome at the same time?

i shouldn't have made mercantile one of my skills.

[duovamp]

That's one thing that bugged me - mobs will always be tricky because as you level, they get tougher everywhere. So you never put a big gap between you and even basic shit.

Max jump is fun as hell. As is maxing a telekinesis spell's range and entering places full of books.

The tower is jawesome too.

[duovamp]

Once you learn melee combat, it gets a little boring too.


Still a fun game in many wonderful ways.

[Trotskilicious]

yeah i don't like auto scale up enemies. I understand the concept but I think there should at least be parts of the game where you're like facing down like...i dunno fifty dudes you can kill with a one or two hits, you know? just to show off how much bad assery your character can manage.

SOMEONE GIVE ME CREATIVE CONTROL OVER A GAME PLZ THANX

[duovamp]

Word. I love fighting an enemy that raped me earlier in the game, and now I shatter its skull into a thousand pieces with one brutal punch.

[Trotskilicious]

makes me worry about trolls. she was nothing v. a troll. I died. Because when your strategy is smash and run a regenerating beast is going to fuck you up.

of course dumbass me forgot to use fire on the beastie.

[duovamp]

Become a vampire. I don't think that'll fix anything, but fucking do it anyway.





But don't let that shit get bad on you............. *cupcake dog stare*

[dean_r_koontz]

the time it takes to get bored of this game is directly proportional to iq. if you get bored, play morrowind instead.

[Banana]

Its so much better than the fallout games.


Morrowind was amazing too.


Can't wait for the new elder scrolls, it looks amazing.

[The Jesus]

I started playing this again a fortnight ago; uninstalled it after 6hrs.

[Trotskilicious]

not really far enough to get much of a momentum going

[cocksure]

morrowind was when i decided i was over video games

rpgs should be about stories and atmosphere and shit, not automap-porn
if you want this to count as art, take it seriously you annoying game developer nerd assholes

[SlingeroGuitaro]

I had a really hard time playing morrowind. The load times were rediculous. Even now when installed on my 360 I couldn't really get into the game.

Oblivion however is amazing. It's one of the few games where I immediately restarted it after finishing the main story

too bad you didn't play bioshock

[BumbleBeeMouth]

it was better than morrowind but they all suffer from lack of engagement with story. And as duo said it doesnt have that fun bit in throne of bhaal where all those drow dudes attack you and you cover the ground in their guts I AM THE LORD OF MURDER WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH



6:39 in

[Trotskilicious]

it's a character building game really, hack and slash and a novel approach to the leveling.

[Trotskilicious]

of course i'm starting to get pissed off at how much i die, i dunno if i'm playing it wrong or casters blow shitdicks.

[cocksure]

i really liked baldurs gate, played through both of of them like 5 times

but those were nerdier days

[Trotskilicious]

yeah you're not nerdy at all anymore.

[cocksure]

oh i totally am

we're talking degrees here

[dean_r_koontz]

cool story bro.

[dean_r_koontz]

There are some good games to play. Oblivion is not one of them.

don't become a vampire...unless you want to. because i think it is super hard to become unwampired.

this and chrono trigger are the only two rpg's i've ever really played, and boy did i get sucked in. so pumped for skyrim.

[Banana]

I forget what it was called, the blood brother secret society, or some shit. But that was the best part of oblivion. Where you killed people. I was so sad when that shit finally came to an end.

[Dead Frequency]

That game ruled. Becoming a vampire is a great idea, except you can really dick yourself with the autosave function and fast travel. Become good at making potions and get every ingredient you come across. Eat them all and you'll level it up quickly. All crap potions get sold and you have ample income. Also, steal. Steal fucking everything. Best equipment, loads of cash and it rules.

Don't eat garlic if you're a vampire.

haha, damn right about that!

no biggie though, I suggest making a spell that temporarily raises mercantile and trading with a high level trader (I think that levels you up faster)
