Speevy said:
Are there swords in this game?

:p

Yes! Including my favorite sword that I can't talk about! In fact I didn't even know it was in the game until today when I ran across one so I made it my mission to go steal all of them in the world.

Mmmm sidetracked.
 
THIS IS FUCKING KILLING MEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I don't want an X360 but Oblivion OH MIGHTY Oblivion is making things waay to hard.

Any chance of PS3 getting Oblivion?? The devs once they wanted the game to hit all plataforms possible...

Vark? Just tell me should I keep my hopes for a PS3 version later next year or just get a X360???

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I really, desperately want Oblivion but I don't want to pay launch price for the 360, and I dislike playing games for too many hours on PC (and I'd have to upgrade anyway)...ffs.

Couches are awesome you whiney little bitch.
 
Hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hop... I will still give this one a shot on the PC. I don't know why I;m gonna bother. After a week, I'll uninstall it after reaching lvl 50 in athletics and still being a lvl 2 in Stealing. :( Why do the gods of the TES universe mock me so?

Any idea if attributes are gonna need to be leveled up in quantities of 4 or something to get the special multipliers? It was the only thing that kept me from hopping absolutely everywhere on the map. I'd rather skills increase independantly, or that you get special bonuses every X levels gained. PEACE.
 
Prays for PS3 release... god it's going to be a hard wait and then an even harder dissapointment when they never do announce a port. :(

will this game be playable in 3rd person? i hate first person RPGs. :(

yes, but don't get the wrong impression. If it's anything like morrowind the third person option is more just to see how your model looks... The gameplay is definitly tweaked for first person. 3rd person felt sort of clunky in morrowind, and the character animations where not up to par for a third person game... the 20 minute video that leaked a few days ago showed the third person mode, and it looked slightly better than morrowinds, but still did not look optimal.

I don't quite udnerstand some peoples hate for first person rpg's. it's the most immersive view point and really allows you to sink into your character.
 
After watching the recent 20min video from Blim's site, seeing these new screens and reading the info, I've pretty much succumbed to buying a 360 w/ Oblivion at launch. Damn you Bethesda...

How many First person RPG's have you played?

Anyway, these games are so much better in the first person. It just adds to the immersion and atmosphere.

same here and it sort of sucks, because really the ps3 is looking more impressive at the moment, and i don't want to buy both. i just hope i can find the money somewhere... i got all kinds of crap i need to buy.

Just get the superior PC version

edit: to quote someone working at Bethesda "It's so flexible, one of my concerns right now is that we're not using it to its fullest potential. I expect modders to create some amazing things."
 
I usually play in 3rd person when I'm exploring or in melee combat (and ALWAYS when I'm on horseback), and first person when I'm looking at stuff, talking to people, or in ranged combat (bows or spells). On the PC you can zoom out from first person to third and away from the character, and then back in closer until you're in first person again, using the mouse wheel :)
 
I agree. Next-gen is just too expensive for me to own all three consoles again, plus buy an HDTV on top of all of that. Dizzamn!
But if you were to buy a console just for one game, Oblivion would be that game. :)
 
Stevemeister:

I've joked about this before, but I actually have a serious question pertaining to the way your character progresses.

In the Xbox 360 version of Oblivion, there are no game-breaking means of hyper-leveling yourself into God Mode, right?

Three?
 
I'd defintely buy a 360 for this if it weren't coming out on PC as well. Gotta love all the mods people make for the Elder Scrolls game. That and patches to fix the inevitable bugs these massively open games end up having.

We're aware of the exploits that were in Morrowind and have taken steps to remove them. We've also been playtesting Oblivion like crazy and are working to make sure any exploits found are fixed.

So will there end up being exploits? It's possible -- it's a huge game, and even with as many people as we have testing, it's possible one could slip through the cracks -- but hopefully we'll catch them all.
 
I'm totally anticipating the PC version, if only because i've played the previous elder scroll games all on PC (havent played the XBox Morrowind). If I have to get a new video card to enjoy this beauty on my box, so be it, but it'll be worth it.

If someone did drop an XBox360 in my lap, i'd get the console version, but for now, I really really want the PC version (that TES construction kit also is a big reason for it too).
 
siege said:
Steve, do you have any idea what the minimum specs will be for the PC version? Atleast an estimate?

Not yet. We're still optimizing, and until we reach the point where we just can't get the game running any faster, we can't really make an accurate assessment of the minimum specs. Moving target & all. But the game is pretty configurable -- there's a lot of stuff you can turn off or scale according to your PC's specs.

Yes thats my biggest fear. I don't want an X360 this is the only game that makes me wanna go out and buy it and yes I have the money right NOW to get one but I don't want to. I wanna get a PS3.

But these games is much better than everything Ive seen on PS3 (I havent seen MGS4 :lol ) but PS3 has my favoroite franchises.

The devs keep saying "other console announcements woulod come at a later date" and in the GI article it was said "Wihtout a shadow of a doubt its coming to PS3, unless theres some exclusivity deal from here to the release" or something like that. I wonder if MS did that even though theres no poing I mean all X360 games released now are at least 6 months exclusive so no need to pay.

Vark or Stevemeister,can you at least tell us if we should just give up hopes of a PS3 release next year and just get a X360?
 
inthezone,

Pick up a 360 and Oblivion and play the crap out of it until the PS3 comes out and then trade it in. Since the PS3 is comming out in abour 6 months, you will probally only be out a $100 or so, and you could rent a few other titles you found interesting in that time.
 
Steve, How much have the visuals improved from the E3 vid may I ask? Particularly the Xbox 360 version. Are you happy with the new next gen hardware from MS? Thanks in advance.

Can I just walk around looking at waterfalls and stabbing shit?

Or do I have to talk to elves?

Just steal their pillows.

Then spy on then as they uncomfortably go to sleep.
 
So either, Xbox haters are on Eastern Time, the X05 showing ended up being pretty good, or I get drunk on two Negro Modelas.

I think Oblivion is just about the only title I've seen here completely safe from trolling.

I'd say X05 was quite good for MS. The new games from BioWare and Silicon Knights look really great. Most media looks really good.

I have only 3 disappointments:
- PD0 - it looks good sometimes, then others it looks awful
- No Top Spin 2 media - DAMN YOU 2KSPORTS!
- No launch lineup announcement. Stop this 'launch window' nonsense.

Haha, oops. I'll fix.

No wait. YOU FIX. MAKE IT 60, SHIT.

This made me laugh too much at this time of night.

Soooooo....... since it's so close to release, how 'bout them 200 ft. dragons? ;) ;) ;) ;) (^_^) ;)
