Yeah it was bad. Easy to mod though

thats the part that makes it so horrible, it was the easiest thing in the world to fix and clear to anyone who played it for a couple of hours that it needed to be fixed but no one who was paid to make the game realized this somehow

the total conversion that turns it into a german WRPG is ok for a few hours, but then you get tired of staring at the ugly chunky clay person models, and the lovely unresponsive combat, and the gross looking plastic-rear end scenery and also realize the lovely collecta-thon nature of the conversion, and deeply regret the few hours you put into both setting up the game and then playing it to that point

so, in short, the uninstall mod

the content in the conversion is generally ok but at the end of the day youre still playing oblivion, which sucks

i got pretty pissed off when it made me sit through a ten minute in-character cutscene that they didn't bother subtitling into English because it was all audio samples and not actual character dialogue

i beat oblivion on the xbox when i was 15 and it was a lot of fun. shivering isles was way better than bland rear end cyrodill though

I got really mad when Oblivion came out because I didn't have a PC that could run it, and it wasn't available for the original xbox.

You can imagine how disappointed I was, mostly in myself, when I actually got to play it.

I got oblivion the other day and it said I should be an assassin. does the stealth system ever get better than "sneak into range, shoot an arrow at them and get a damage multiplier but then every enemy in the room now knows exactly where you are even if you ducked back around a corner"

Everything except shooting big fireballs/arrows and hacking at thousands of dudes is bad in every Elder Scrolls game. When you play a sneaky person what they really mean is 'guy who uses crit multipliers instead of flat damage'.




Oblivion was the worst because that fight with the goblin mage or w.e with a few goblin knights chilling there was exactly as challenging as every single fight after it, including fights with garbage trash mobs because scaling enemies.

You sell them to Umbacano, the titular Collector, for 500 gold apiece. I have 800,000 gold currently.

The statues will be all arranged for me when I murder Umbacano and take over his house later, which is nice.

same, I already posted a huge list of grievances somewhere else that basically boils down to "why isn't this game more like mount and blade?", and then I realize that the truth is I just don't like Elder Scrolls, at all. I played something like 40 hours of oblivion and 60 hours of skyrim just because I thought the game was something else. 100 hours of a spiral of realization that I was actually playing another game in my head while playing these games and that I'm quite possibly retarded.

So you expected that your action towards my mom would change anything but you realized that she was completely static, and you though that a good first step would be for her to have faction mechanics like she had in the past :confused:

No, I mean I eventually realized that your mother and I didn't have a long-term connection. I do still miss her though.
