I can't believe they took an engine with such potential and then made such a MINDNUMBING main quest! Why do I have to close all these oblivion gates! They are all the same! The guild quests are fun. Even most of the main quests are fun. But why so many gates! Even if I have to do like 8 of them, did I really have to do them one after the other? Couldn't they have been spread out? Jesis!

I can't believe I am subjecting myself to this again for achievement points (Played it on pc pre-xbox get).


Wait yes I can.

[wackodave]

I don't remember ever having to close a lot gates in a row in the main quest. When is it you have to do this?

[Waffen]

I've got about 50 hours logged on this game and I've only closed like 2 or 3 gates.

just do all the other shit there's to do.
I mean you can beat Oblivion like a mario bros. game but its not really the point :/

i "reviewed" this game the other day lol

Everyone who plays Oblivion on the 360 for any reason other than being forced to is an idiot and their opinion on video games is irrelevent. On the PC, if you spend a lot of time, you can fix enough so that it is playable. The 360 version is just a meritless waste of your finite time on earth.

i played oblivion for aboutb an hour at a friends house once. he really loved it, and it was hard to tell him how unbelievably awful the game appeared to be to me

jeezus christ guys.... I can't imagine most of you even own a 360 so that alone has to jade your impression of this game.

its one of the best the console has to offer.

you CAN'T fast travel to a place you haven't been yet.
half the game you'll be riding your horse to where you're trying to go then the other half you'll be fast travelling to it.
and it IS a huge game so after awhile the fast travelling IS A GOOD THING.
only in Oblivion can you see a misty mountain waaaaay off in the distance and actually ride your horse to it. thats bad ass.
and the combat is cool and very challenging when you start to get into higher levels.
the whole appeal of this game is that its basically never ending with all the side quests and expansion packs.
name one game on a console that has more depth and offers a longer quest and looks prettier doing it.
I love it and I'm a huge fan and theres not just wolves in the woods... jeezus.

I like the realistic approach. lets me know I'm playing a WRPG.
I mean don't get me wrong, I love the character design of WoW and Blue Dragon and all that but I also really like Oblivion's "close to life" look including the ugly ass medieval villagers. reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons.

I mean, as realistic as Oblivion gates and Daedric knights and shit can be ya know.

I never played Morrowind three years ago because even then I thought it looked like ass and it was only until I downloaded a gameplay trailer for Oblivion and watched it on my HDTV did I realize it was a perfect candidate to get some use out of my TV. riding a horse through mountain meadows and pausing to watch the breeze sway stalks of wheat was exactly what I was looking for.
I was literally at the game store 10 minutes after watching the trailer and after an hour of making my character look like the most hideous, inbred human being to ever walk the earth I was in the game.

natural weather mod does wonders for blue sky, at any rate.

DAIS, you don't think a game shouldn't have to be modded to be made playable?

[gooktime]

If we're still comparing it to Twilight Princess, that game also features lots of brown and sewage green... it's also 9999 hours long!

[Dark Age Iron Savior]

[Zebadayus]

Those are good points, DAIS.

[oneEIGHTkevin]

The game would have been good if there was more than like 4 different types of dungeons. I mean there were caves, sewers, oblivion gates, and ancient ruins. Then just litter generic dungeons like these all throughout the land you have the DEEPEST MOST DYNAMIC LIVING BREATHING WORLD IN A COMPUTER GAME!

You could take some awesoe scenic screenshots though. Also there are a lot more creatures in the world then just wolves, rats, etc. Problem is they only appear as you gain levels so in the beginning of the game there is wolves, and rats. Then later in the game it's boars, minotaurs, and tigers.

I beat the game btw and put 70 hours into my game. I will also probably end up playing the expansion.

As a huge fan of Morrowind, Oblivion is about the biggest insult to my intellegence I've ever experienced. M was not without its problems, but instead of fixing them, they decided to change just about everything that did work well into this generic, 'mexican food for the elderly' mess. I expect Fallout 3 to be much the same.
