Man, I can't wait. This is probably going to be the first RPG I delve into in quite a while (unless I pick up Mario & Luigi 2 by then).
I can't wait too. By the time this comes out (I assume March/April) I will have my pc upgrade parts lined up so I should have more than enough horsepower to run Oblivion nice and smooth.
little bit of news somewhat official, as it comes from a pm from pete heinze. supposedly there will be pay official mods. people are freking out about it, but handled right, i think it might be awesome. they say theya re going to put more resources into maing of the official mods, and that work necessetates taht it will cost(both x-box marketplace and pc are mentioned) now, rather than waiting several months for one or 2 official expansions, i can see us getting pieces of these mods in small 5-10 dollar bits that add jsut the content we want(though who are we kidding, i doubt ill pass on too many of them on the pc) plus, this is the best hope for polearms/spears to be put back in. ill admit that paying for something that should have been put in the game sucks, but i can see why they want to wrap up the "core" game first and then allow the more specific elemts of the fanbase to get real professional quality expansions to tailor to their gaming experience. Still not officialy official, but then again, the devs havent shot it down, and given that its credited directly to a pm from pete himself, i cant see him letting false news get posted with his name. what a long strange trip it will be.
if its anything like the last game it wont matter what you have under the hood. itll still run like ass until 5 years after the game is out and we've had a couple more generations of gpu's ;)Quote:

Hopefully the copy protection in Oblivion won't be as intrusive as the one in Morrowind.
As for that paying for official mods..I don't know about that. I mean if these are full fledged mods with LOTS of content then fine but if they think I'm gonna pay money for some weapons pack, sound pack or some other crap like that then'll I'll leave it all up to the modders to make up a good pack/mod. Morrowind had GREAT user mod support..so much content available! I'm sure Oblivion will have plenty of great mods too.
I can see them charging for it over Xbox Live, which in turn probably means they want to charge the PC world too, so we're getting fucked over a little bit here. Expansion packs you have to pay for are great things to pirate.Quote:

That second shot is beautiful.
Hopefully, it will be out on launch for me (march 2nd now).
I enjoy the first one more.
I cannot wait for this game.
This is the most excited I've been for a game in years.
