The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

[George]

I was in the dungeon right near the sewers at the beginning, the one with the bandits and zombies in the tomb, when I sneak up to a guy standing at the top of the stairs whispering to himself about "hearing something." The poor bitch had a hatchet in his face (4x hit critical due to sneak!) before he knew it and rag dolled all the way to the bottom of the stairs.

I really like the combat in this game -- I switch between 3rd and 1st person a lot and it kinda feels like the Jedi Knight games. The physics in the game are really outstanding. I killed a guy and knocked his corpse onto a ledge above a lava pit before I had a chance to loot. I find out later that guy had a key I needed to proceed and I didnt have a recent save game so I had to jump down to the ledge.

Yeah, I was sneaking around, took out a handfull, then somebody saw me and I was like FUCK GET OUT THE AXE BITCHES!

It didn't turn out too well.

I hate it when I accidentally grab stuff when I want to talk to people and the stupid guards always know. The game is fucking awesome though.

Protip: Save the game right before leaving the sewers--you can rename and recustomize your guy and never have to go through the tutorial level ever again.

Cecilia played this for a few hours last night, I just started a wood elf on my lunch break. You can really make some terribly deformed characters with the customization tools. I think I should have randomed : /

I can't take it anymore, I'm going to buy this right now.

another thing, what happened to the shortcut keys? 'j' for journal 'm' for map and what not. Missing that is just lazy.

I was trying the drag and drop method last night to drop some shit and it didn't seem to work. I'll fool with it i guess. They have to fix this shittyness in the menu. Hopefully the complaints are all over the Bethesda boards already. Other than that the game rocks. Can't wait to get a horse.

The first guy I came up to outside the sewers (aside from some bandits I dispatched) was a guard -- I pressed "A" and instead of talking to him, I jumped on his horse. It was self-defense after that...I swear it. And yeah, the game is fucking awesome. Nitpicks aside (and I don't really even have any of those), Bethesda seems to have delivered big time.

It seemed unlikley, but I now have more A - AAA 360 titles than I have time to play. And now I hear Blazing Angels is really good, too. Back to Fry's on Thursday?

Smart move.

I randomed an imperial, then tweaked him to my liking.

I love this. So far I haven't touched a quest, just been messing about with npcs in the cities.

The stealth damage multiplyer makes for some pretty cool deaths - Owned

hooker killer huh
I bet the guards will catch you eventually

man this game looks good, I bought the Collectors Edition & have my 360, but I don't wanna open either untill I buy a HDTV

there is a great new line of Sharp Aquos coming out early next month, but I don't know if I'll last that long

It should be super obvious to you that this is an Xbox 360 port.

This is the sort of shit that ruined Invisible War.

I'm not with the rest of the hype train on this one. It's fucking awesome and I'll play it for hours, but it's just a normal sequel like any other game. It's Morrowind with a pretty graphics engine and some necessary tweaks.
