Title: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Post by: SS on April 24, 2006, 02:34:47 PM Is a great game... I think. :unsure:
I got it at the weekend and it runs awfully slow on my system - even at 640x480 with everything on low quality it's not really playable; but enough to tell me that it should live up to the hype I've heard about it. (Once I get my MBP up and running, the 256MB Radeon X1600 and DDR2/5300 RAM should fare far better than my measly 128MB GeForce FX5200 and DDR/3200.) So, anyone else here played Oblivion and got any thoughts? Title: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Post by: smi256 on May 07, 2006, 05:38:51 AM I don't think my comp will play it... ;)
But I do know that I've crashed it for some of my friends LOL all I did was IM them :( :ph34r: Title: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Post by: SS on May 09, 2006, 06:25:17 PM Oblivion plays beautifully on my MacBook, with most of the settings on top/high quality. :D
And it is a good game. I do have one complaint - you can't do anything (fight, cast spells, etc) when riding horses - so if you're riding along and a wolf starts chasing you, your only real option is to stop, climb down, kill it, climb up, and start riding again. Why can't they have a Mount&Blade style mounted combat system? :( Here, have a picture of my character trying on some trousers...

I have Morrowind, although I haven't played it much yet. Does anyone else here have it? Title: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Post by: smi256 on June 03, 2006, 10:25:24 PM I haven't been playing games in I don't know how many months :(
This will change when I get my job.. I think ;) /me SW QA Game Tester :grass: Title: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Post by: Hornet on June 04, 2006, 12:34:10 AM Heh. You know not what you're in for... (http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2005/06/dont-work-as-games-tester.html) Title: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Post by: Rug on June 04, 2006, 01:02:28 AM DO work as a games tester, so the hideous abominations that were Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines (which, in the pre-patch out of the box version, cannot be completed without cheats) and Knights of the Old Republic 2 (which was just mind-destroyingly annoying with all it's bugs) never happen again.
Of course, these were both Atari games. Maybe their portakabin is especially smelly? Title: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Post by: DDM on June 04, 2006, 01:32:30 AM Oblivion works on my semi-god forsaken machine, although it gets jerkier as time goes on :(
