Yeah, PS3 shots - I haven't noticed any screen tearing, and the framerate seems fairly stable, although it took a brief, but noticeable dip during one particularly tense battle where there were a load of bandits and a couple of mages using their magic at the same time.

Can't wait to see insane mods for Skyrim.
Looks like something that would be in Final Fantasy 13 or some JRPG with the metrosexual/dolled out look to it. Doesn't really fit the Oblivion world, although it is a deal better than the attrocious Oblivion faces. Thank God Skyrim actually has very nice stock faces.
Which is why i find them so repulsive.woober said:
That said there are mods that have both fanservice and fit the game.
Argh, i cannot decide what to play first in Skyrim. Warrior-type, sneaky-type or mage-type?
Dunmer archer with some magic mixed in might be what i play... but there's just too many possibilities!
I only got a few hours into Oblivion and never had a gaming PC around Morrowind's time.
So for me, this will be the first Elder Scrolls game I'll get to go all the way through and lose myself in. I played a shit ton of Fallout 3 though, and my love for that game and Todd Howard has me extremely excited for Skyrim.

There is nothing, nothing more repulsive than the original Oblivion character models...holy were they ugly...even my dad pissed himself laughing when I was playing that game
Any anime-styled character model is even more repulsive. Actually, i don't care about Oblivion character models, their main duty is to provide something to give me quest, something to buy fro and sell stuff to and something to kill. And i spent most of my time wandering around, using first person so the models are not an issue for me. Besides, clothing and armor were nice enough, leaving only faces which are bad.nelsonroyale said:

It scares me to think how many hours someone would have to spend modding Oblivion to make just this character. "download each of these mods: better faces, smoother textures, new eyes, new hairstyles, new clothing, alternate clothing patch, new clothing v. 1.2", etc.
haha, I just shivered thinking of all the patching I did with Oblivion and Morrowind. My Ob folder was like 50gig+.
Woorloog said:
I agree with you mostly, though some face mods actually looked halfway decent if they could have put in the work to add some variety to the rest of the faces.
Like Fallout 3's Project Beauty. Dracomies is my homie.

That Oblivion mod girl looks SO much better than the stock game, I didn't even know that was technically possible. Maybe I'll try it again with mods.
Ah, who am I kidding, I'll rather play Skyrim. But really, that model looks amazing.

I actually didn't mind the Oblivion models too much.
What I really had a problem with (and what was unmoddable) was that there were only like 5 voices for each gender in the whole world!
I don't want the vampire Count of Skingrad to sound like a guard from Bravil!

I was going to wait to buy Skyrim since I'll be playing COD like a madwoman but they pulled me in with the awesome dragon slaying commercial.

In any event. HYPE!

I've put 7 and a half hours in and it's entirely living up to expectations so far. The world is visually very beautiful and just begs to be explored, and the combat is a lot of fun. I love the kill animations, some of them are particularly brutal. I've mostly been spending my time doing minor side quests, exploring the area and hunting animals for pelts to make armour. Also, the dungeons really do seem quite unique so far, everyone looking visually different from the last (although I'm still early in) and with a fair amount of hidden loot to be found. It's been a ton of fun so far and I've really got that good old Elder Scrolls vibe of wanting to see and explore everything, plus any misgivings I had about stuff like the recharging health seem unfounded as the gameplay seems well balanced, with a fair amount of challenge.
Here's a few more random screenshots;

I remember a youtube of someone taking that dude up to the top of the tower in the Imperial City and then pushing him off the edge. Fucking hilarious.

Hopefully this isn't too off topic, but what mods do you recommend for Oblivion?

Ok, so my boss at work offered to put aside a Skyrim CE for me. Can't decide between PS3 version or X360. I am leaning more towards the PS3 mainly because I buy most of my games on that system, but if the game is gimped like Bayonetta, I don't know. Help me gaf

Most signs point toward the 360 being better looking.

Here's a post with a comparison.
Sounds like the game will do you fine on either console. Grab the PS3 version if you want.Heshinsi said:Ok, so my boss at work offered to put aside a Skyrim CE for me.

Judging by the Gaffers PS3 impressions, it sounds like a solid port. Before today I world have told you 360, but is impressions sound pretty damn good. I say puck it up for PS3, since that is the system you play more. I'm not sure you cam go wrong this time.Heshinsi said:Ok, so my boss at work offered to put aside a Skyrim CE for me.

OMG LMAO!! Why that is so funny to me I don't really know. I guess because I had that dude following me for quite a while in my own game. He ended up dying to some bandits wearing Glass Armor.
