you guys are making me want to play more tonight. :(
I really wish they made this game (and many others) with a cooperative multiplayer feature. That would really make me play it more.
but wouldnt it be like WOW then? [disclaimer] never played a single second of WOW[/disclaimer]
Well, WoW isn't really a game because it's not fun, lol. Oblivion is significantly different from WoW, and I'm thinking more like a multiplayer mode of at most four people playing the same game. I dunno. I just don't like the whole competitive multiplayer aspect of games. I don't enjoy it very much.
It would be like an advanced version of WoW. Personally, I like WoW more. Its not nearly as realistic or as aesthetically stunning, but its just fun. In some areas WoW is actually more advanced than Oblivion. Like the ability to make your own armor or weapons, or the sheer variety of everything. The list goes on and on, WoW is intensely immersive, much more than even Oblivion. Thats why I was sucked into it for.. jeez. I don't even know. Multiple years of playing at least 10 hours a week and sometimes 10 hours a day. WoW isn't just a game, its a change of lifestyle for many. I'm glad I stopped playing and finally got bored of it, I was going no where fast. WoW Crack indeed. lolQuote:

But they would have to make the game MUCH bigger to accommodate people. WoW is probably 50 times bigger than Oblivion. lol
I see.
An MMO would be interesting... but I was thinking more of smaller network or online games for people that prefer cooperative over crazy-ass kill-each-other chaos, lol.
They are making an Oblivion MMO supposedly....I remember hearing about it a year or 2 back they were working on it, no idea if they still are and too lazy to google right now ;p
Yea there are a few rumors going around. The MMO is supposed to be called Destiny's End and there is another rumor that says there will be an Elder Scrolls 5 called Shadow Realm. I think its all basically vaporware though. But then again, I wouldn't be surprised by an Elder Scrolls 5. It just takes a long time to develop games like these.Quote:

Personally I'm holding out hope that eventually Bethesda will make an ES MMO covering the entire continent of Tamriel. The lore is already there, they just need to make the stupidly huge game :D
@Oneslowz28:
The first time in jail really isn't bad, you get a small hit to some of your stats, but it's not as big a problem on the lower levels. The thing you have to worry about more is if you have any stolen stuff, you won't get it back when you get out.
Alternatively, I forget which, it's either the Thieves Guild or the Assassin's Guild, has agents who can get rid of your bounty for a fee.
If you do go to jail, you get to keep one lockpick, so if you're good enough you can actually break out, sneak up, grab your stuff, and sneak out. To get past the guard at the very end though, you have to either have an insanely high sneak skill or have an invisibility ring or spell.
btw, incase anyone else was having the issue with Oblivion crashing, I found out that it was the Xonar control panel thing. I uninstalled that, then loaded the Xonar driver manually, and it's working just fine now.
Are there any mods that open up the surrounding lands? Man it sucks to be traveling around and then have a message say you can't go any further. Whats the point of having these huge lands on the map when you can't even travel to them? lol
There was this awesome project that converted Morrowind's data to where it works for Oblivion, but Bethesda shut it down. For some reason they really don't want people making content from other games to work in with current ones, or something. I really didn't understand their reasoning behind it.
Maybe they plan on doing it themselves? That would the AWESOME. Everything re-done to oblivion standards would be insane. Although if it takes about 4 years for each game... that's about... a lot. lol
It would take forever to get anywhere too, but hey, no different than WoW.
.....................
Just watched the original Morrowind trailer. L.O.L. Man we've come a long way. Still pretty impressive though, especially for its time.

Bethesda always creates the most insanely moving and impressive sound tracks too.
I don't know if this was already posted in the thread and didn't feel like going back and reading all the pages but elderscrolls 2 daggerfall is a free download now:

I have been fighting in the arena. Moved up 5 ranks so far. Its an easy way to make $$.
Probably a good way to level too.
Lvl 3 and only about 7 hours playing time
If they follow the trend that they did with Arena, and that I think I remember seeing them stating at some point, at the 10-year anniversary of each game it becomes free.Quote:

Fallout 3 was actually made by the same studio, using the same engines, so yeah, it probably is rather similar. I got Fallout 3 last week, but haven't gotten around to playing it yet; it was crashing, so I decided to play Oblivion instead, then it was crashing too...obviously... :facepalm: and by the time I fixed the problem, I was hooked on Oblivion again....I spent about 12 hours straight playing it yesterday....stupid BethSoft, making too awesome games... maybe it's a good thing that they haven't made an MMO yet :PQuote:

I have managed to play oblivion every day of the week since I bought it, still keep up with my duties on here and finish editing the back log of photos I had piled up. WOW players must be completely unable to multi task. Well the ones who lose their Jobs, get divorces because of the game anyway.
You also can't pause WoW..... :whistler:
...or load a save because you messed up and spent gold you shouldn't have. :rolleyes:
or because you underestimated a monster....
Nor can you go into the console, click on the guy that's harassing you, type "kill" and be done with the entity that happens to be killing you over and over and over.
I'm assuming this is a glitch. I loaded my last save and all my stuff was gone. Then I noticed I was invisible. So then I loaded from a previous save and all was fine, except I was a level less than I was before. ...and then I went inside a building, and attempted to leave the building and my computer decided to BSOD. Only game I know that can cause a BSOD for no real reason.
There was a glitch that I had trouble with when I had my 8500GT where it would completely black out the screen if I looked in a certain direction on interior levels. It was quite odd.
I'm having that same problem with my GTX260. I think it's a bug with the driver not reading the environment light sources correctly, because when I switch to 3rd person mode it sometimes fixes it, and when I pull out a torch it always fixes it...only problem is that most of the time when it happens I really do not want to be pulling out a torch...Quote:

Running it on a 7300GS and no problems so far. will be running it on a 8800 gts by next week Then again I only get 1-2 bsod a year from xp and only 1 ever from vista
Woot! Level 7 and now I own a castle, some other weird place that I haven't been to yet and a place where the original worshipers of sithis resided, even before the black hand. Its as southern as you can go on the map. And it comes with my very own minion! Sweet!
:facepalm: ...and...I just realized that I don't know Cyrodiil anywhere near as well as I knew Vvardenfell... because I didn't even know I could get a castle :*(Quote:

I keep forgetting to check the land/place I inherited too. That quest popped up right after the castle quest. Same with the black hand-ish place way way far down south at the brink of ocean and land. Can't remember what its called.
I spent the last hour fighting the last series of fights in the arena. I am now grand champion. Now to complete some more quest.
What all do you get from doing that? Any good items or just gold or?Quote:

Well I have my difficulty turned up a notch or two, so hopefully it won't be too easy. lol no fun if its too easy. :p
I have my difficulty turned up a bit too.
Man, I actually had to turn my difficulty down a tad. It would probably help if I knew where to get more health potions or a better health spell, I can't keep up now without getting hacked to death. But I got past the twins and then a bit later the dark elf. Hit the third ranking, whatever thats called and leveled two times so far. That's worth its wait in gold alone! Pretty good for an hours work.
what weapon are you using?
I have been using a Steel Sword and will usually hit my opponent 4 or 5 times with a fire ball before attacking with the sword.
I need a decent quest to do now. Any suggestions?
