Blue Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_mf_w00t2.gifElder Scrolls IV Oblivion If you enjoyed Morrowind, then you owe it to yourselves to check out Bethesda's new game. One catch, you'll need a really high end comp to run this game or an xbox 360 (my gf4800 won't even run it, its not supported at all) At least a 6800 + vid card and 1gig of ram. Check out some of the videos on the website, some of the stuff looks pretty crazy unreal. I've been following the development for over a year now and I'll be picking up my preorder monday or tuesday whenever it ships. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Played for a lil bit last night, first impressions... http://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_mf_w00t2.gifhttp://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_mf_w00t2.gifhttp://www.fnfclan.com/uploads/uploads/emoticons/default_mf_w00t2.gif . Its as good as they said it would be, I'm not thouroughly(sp?) immersed in the world they have created. I see many many many hours to be spent in the future on this game.

etru_scan Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 lil update on my end here.. I played last night for about 4 hours. Snap judgement : Love it. Im barely past the 'first impressions' stage, but i have done and experienced the following : Created my characted, Combat, Spellcasting, Exploring, Completing quests. All these parts scored equally well imo - Starting from the top, Character creation was pretty fun. The 'create a character' was crrrrazzzy ! SoOOoo many options, you can make ur dude look SO weird if you want, or so creepily real it makes it a game within itself. Definately liking that. Combat is *great* ! You can really dance around, dodging and blocking incoming magic missiles and arrows and attacks of all sorts. You strike in a relistic manner, with quick slashes, bigger ' power swings ' and even get disoriented when you get smoked. I really enjoy it so far, and spellcasting is just a matter of hitting the 'c' key to invoke whatever you have presently selected in your inventory. tres cool. Spellsword FTW ! Exploring, both underground and above is really fucking cool. Moving around above ground is where you'll get the most lag, and experience the most graphical glitches. On my righteous beast of a machine i haev to run my resolution at 1280x1024 (with everythign turned full, including AA which i have to do out of game to override the no bloom-and-ff-at-the-same-time limitation the game has ) cause if i try and run it any higher things start getting laggy. This is too bad, but i expected it. This game really, really demands the most out of even the best PC out there. You'll notice the foliage fading in a little too close, but mostly when you're running 'uphill' and can see the 'line' at which the draw distance takes effect. Im a little saddened that it's so close, even with it set to 'far' in the options.. but.. what can u do. Its an effect that u kindof dont notice after a couple hours anyways, so its in no way going to ruin the game for you. On a slower system though.. i dunno.. i think we might hates it. Another thing i found a bit hard to get used to was the walk/run speed. Run speed is fine, but the walk speed is s-l-o-w. SLOW slow. And the real fuck of it is, that when you go from walk to run, its like stomping the accelerator on your car. Dude just RUNS ! right away, and it's a bit annoying. I bet it's just a polish thing, but the walk either has to be faster, or ther transition between the two more 'usefull' I dont think there's a sprint, which would be sweet, but you can jump pretty far. Also, the horse is the same. The speed is either SLOW as fuck, or Fast, but not-fast-enough. Which is kinda lame. Once the horse gets going, thats about it. You CAN jump with the horsey, but you just dont go no faster once u get to top speed. This should be fixed IMO - different horses should have different speeds, and the top speed definately being more impressive than what u get. As far as completing quests is concerned, this seems pretty straightforward. You get ur quests, u get a 'waypoint' on your compass, and away you go. Easy. Again, im barely getting into it so ill have to give a better opinion on things later, once i know more about how they all link together. So far, it's very linear in that regard. Anyhooey, love to hear your guy's thoughts on the whole thing. GL ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
