oblivion rocks!

Post Reply New Topic

oblivion is the rpg i've been searching for, for years now. ever since i got into rpgs i was trying to find one with as system like oblivion. i have enjoyed other rpgs, xenosaga for the incredible story best in a game i've ever seen, final fantasy in general for that mix of old and new and each unique story and verity of characters, a true example of a very creative mind at work. dragon age for the companion system that made the companions seem like real people instead of AI that willingly followed you regardless of actions you took or how you treated them.

but oblivion is the first rpg i play for the gameplay, the fact that you make a random character and have to build up your rep through hard work and effort, the game to me seems to be your game the way you want it to be. i'm only just starting out but i'm hooked already i don't even know what the hell is going on or why it's going on but just exploring the vast open land and seeing what is out there is cool enough. i'm a wood elf monk so far.

it took a few tries to get it running, but finally i found out since the game is made by the same guys that made fallout 3, i checked the data files, turns out it wasn't running it's own master file just all the dlc, so it wasn't even loading the game itself. if only finding a fix for fallout 3 was that easy.

Just wait a couple of weeks, then Skyrim will be out

I don't know why but I couldn't get my head around oblivion, probably me just being a derp though I think the way it begins just didn't really appeal to me and threw me off the game, however my partner LOVES Oblivion, she can spend hours on it at a time - I can watch her play through it easily enough though, it's entertaining to watch someone who actually has a clue what they're doing

Morrowind has more depth than Oblivion does. Think a good story over good graphics. Oblivion's landscapes were more generic/ bland while Morrowind's alien like landscapes were more immersing. Want a good RPG ? Play Morrowind

I prefer Fallout. The concept of Oblivion seemed good, but I got really bored right after you exit the cave for the first town.

Oblivion is fun, though on my first play through I kind of messed up with assigning stats, went up levels quickly, and was outclassed by most enemies. My second playhtrough went better as I knew what to do, Chose being a mage and wore custom high enchanted strength enhancing clothes, an invisibility spell made it rather easy.

I found that Oblivion tended to be more imersive for me than Fallout 3 and New Vegas, the character, though I hope that Sky Rim will be a hibrid, such as leveling up will not make enemies overwelm you, the enviroment will obviously be bettter,, and hopefully some good houses like there was before, the manor's secret pasage was always a favorite.

Oblivion is awesome. I love how you get to choose exactly what you do as if you were that person in that world and that you don't even have to play the main storyline if you don't want to. I can't wait for Skyrim to come out, the only downfall is that it's going to use Steam like New Vegas did.

how typical i say i like a game and about 5+ people come on and tell me [insert game here is better] for the record i have fallout 3 love it the wasteland is still something i love walking through, this game got me off of wow and i owe my life to it.

but character generation seemed to be restricted, a bit. that's not to say i don't enjoy it, it's just technical issues with the game have become a bit more then annoying, when i first ran it it played fine now it's unstable and finicky as hell, i want to play it but i need a program to crash the game with a hotkey to make half of the crashes bearable found one for dragon age [praise god] but not fallout.

but let me enjoy my game, i like technology but i love classic medieval games as well, and i hate aliens. i'm not in oblivion for story here just the freedom it gives me.

i still think harkness should have been a companion in default fallout 3 unmoded, the game sure seemed to be setting up for that.

I played oblivion first so i was kinda biased when i was comparing it to fallout while i was learning how to play it...

I ended up playing fallout 3 more then oblivion... purely because oblivion was destroyed somehow... i never found out how... it was my brothers game and he tells me it broke...

The VATS was good in fallout... like it worked like it should and it was innovative... but it felt SOOOOOOOOOOO lazy... and if you were fighting an opponent it was so rediculesly hard to kill them without VATS... or maybe im just bad at it ... Unless they were unaware of you then sometimes depending on the distance it would have been better to not use VATS... But generally it became really unsatisfying after a while... as if there really wasnt that much freedom with the character despite all that room to move if you know what i mean?

I liked oblivion better... it had a better vibe with all the lush colours and creatures... and i liked the combat better... the medieval idea was a bit cliche i thought when i first started it... but the gameplay was great... it was challenging and envolved... the quests were better i reckon and it was sick having all the guilds to complete...

I guess you either like fallout more or oblivion more... i like oblivion more... or maybe you dont like either... or genuinly like them evenly all that matters is that the new oblivion is comming soon and i want it

I heard a lot of Morrowind fans say that Oblivion was generic, but personally I like generic sometimes. I mean wouldn't it be awesome to actually live in a fantasy world inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's books? That's kind of what Oblivion does.

The only problem I have with Oblivion is the glitches, the game is severely glitched and many times will mess up on you. Some of the glitches can't even be fixed and will happen every time you play the game which can get frustirating.

But other then that I love this game. I think my favorite features in this game are being able to gather herbs and mushrooms to make potions (even though I think 90% of the potions are useless) and being able to purchase a house for your character that you can decorate with items you find and make his/hers.

Every time I've played I always made a custom witch class character, and I always played as a male Breton who I tried to make look like myself as much as possible. I really have no creative imagination.

I felt lost in oblivion, like there was too much to do and too much you had to know at the beginning.

Oblivion is a good RPG game but I prefer star wars knights of the old republic is awesome

I love Oblivion. I mostly loved the DLCs' for it (most favorite was the Shivering Isles) The voices were good too, though I miss the dark elf voice from Morrowind. I can't wait for Skyrim though I wonder how it will turn out since there is no emperor and amulet of kings. Despite those negatives Oblivion was still a good game.
