I'd like to play Skyrim, but with a busted 360, I'd have to buy the PS3 version, and the framerate issues give me pause.

I tried Oblivion, but just couldn't get into it. The combat was just poor by any standard.

I found Oblivion kind of boring, but I'm really enjoying Skyrim.

But yeah, I can't say I recommend the PS3 version too much. I mean if you really want to and there is no other way, you might as well, but it's not great. I haven't quite gotten to the point where it is unplayable, but occasionally the framerate drops to "Well this is awkward" levels (I've played for around 50 hours.)
 
I think Oblivion had better faction quest lines. The ones in Skyrim seemed pretty bland. However the random sidequests were definitely superior.
 
Pffft, Morrowind is where it's at.

Not really, Skyrim is my favorite Elder Scrolls game. I love Morrowind, but it's a bit...flawed.

Well from what I've tried I like Irish car bombs?, pinapple flavored stuff, whiskey, and generally anything fruity. Haven't tried much in the way of beer since all of the ones I've tried taste horrible to me.

Irish car bombs? Jesus Christ, I'm not easily offended...but wow. Completely unknown in Ireland too, would say there are more than a few places you'd get a smack if you ordered that.

To be fair to skyrim I've never encountered a game that really gave off a sense of 'life.'

I'd say that Earthbound does a good job of that. The animations, although simple, feel much more natural than nearly every other game out there. Everyone moves as you'd expect a person to, just really simplified. The wonderful sense of scale really helps with immersion as well.

I can think of a few games that have felt "alive" to me, although what can immerse one player could easily do nothing for another.

Well my friends usually order my drinks for me since I'm pretty oblivious to names and whats good.
 
My alcohol tolerance varies wildly.

With vodka or rum, I never end up seeing my "too drunk" limit coming and just go frighteningly quickly past it.

With beers or cider, I'm able to see it coming and get a bit drunk, enough to let the inhibitions by the wayside and actually do stuff like dance, and keep myself at that level easily enough.

Plus I think it looks cooler to be holding a beer than a cup of orange juice and vodka. >_>

Yes, but it looks much cooler to be holding a White Russian.

How were you playing it "wrong"? ._.

I hadn't played Oblivion, but had played both 3D Fallout games, which I figured it would be like. I started out sneaking around and doing everything with a bow and having a hell of a time whenever I encountered groups of enemies.

Then I played a mission where all my gear got taken from me and I forgot to stash a bow where I was supposed to, so all I had was a kitchen knife I found that worked as a dagger. Turns out dagger kills are both incredibly fun, silent, and awesome to watch.

*heh*

I've actually never had one, something about putting milk in an alcoholic beverage makes me think it'll be gross.

One is fine, two is getting a bit much, three creates a portal to hell from which you cannot escape.

To be fair, I wasn't even the one buying them. People kept buying them for me. Sometimes I'm too polite to say no...

Real way to play: Get gloves of the pugilist. Punch people in the face.

Gameplay in Morrowind was shit but god the atmosphere and different regions/architecture shits all over Oblivion. Oblivion was okay, I mostly cave dived in it and got fucking annoyed at the repetitive gate bullshit. Wow I'm quite vulgar today.

Who the hell puts dairy in liquor? Even if I wasn't lactose intolerant, I'm pretty sure that would make me sick. Especially with that amount of sweetness.

Besides, brandy snifters are way cooler looking.

So far I've just been blasting everything with spells. I've really been wanting to actually try using real weapons though. Well, I keep thinking that, and then just find I'm too lazy to actually equip a weapon. Ah well.

That was the most disappointing thing going from Morrowind to Oblivion. I remember being interested in almost every piece of scenery from the moment I jumped off the boat in Morrowind. Oblivion just seemed less interesting, even though everything was obviously rendered in wonderful detail.

Now we're getting classy.

Ya, like I said I haven't even tried a White Russian.

I mostly just stick to wine. *snoooooty*
 
When I was a kid I put a few temazepams in my beer. I woke up in my bed, fully clothed, not knowing how the fuck I got there. lol

Fuck me man, talk about losing your memory.

The cream takes off a lot of the edge. Also if you use vanilla vodka instead of just straight vodka you're better off.

Whipped Cream Vodka is apparently the new big thing, they just started pushing it pretty hard here in Pennsylvania liquor stores.

Which is cool cause it's a great mixer.

I meant with all the talk about sickly sweet alcohol.

Baileys? BLEGH
Click to expand...

Baileys is alright. I like Baileys.

I'm generally not sick on beer any more. It was more a kid thing. Buying lots of cheap cider and getting completely and utterly rat-arsed. I stopped though. I didn't see the point when there were other things that provided a better buzz.

Not that I do a lot of those substances anymore. I was just a bit of a wild youth I guess.
