The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

That's actually the best news I've heard all day.. I mean, besides GFF coming back 'n all.

I too hope this doesn't release with as many bugs as it's predecessor. Though, I think the folks at Bethesda learned there lesson with Morrowind and put much more care into this project.

My first character is going to be a thief/ranger and I intend on taking him throughout the main quests. My second will be an evil mage/summoner, whom I'll use to fully explore the giant world.

I'm definitely getting this for the Xbox 360 so I can experience Oblivion in High -Def!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I had a loooong, heated debate with my brother about whether or not to get this for my Xbox 360 or our PC. I was trying to explain to him that our computer would choke, fizzle, then EXPLODE if it tried to run Oblivion. However, I also told him I fully plan on logging 200+ hours in the game, a comment he didn't take too lightly.

The PC requirements are obviously hefty, but I think the overwhelming support the PC community provides will more than make up for any shortcomings.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

How is everyone doing?

Exploring the world of Oblivion with my Redguard thief/assassin has been nothing but a joy. As an acrobat I'm leveling pretty quickly, considering all I do is jump from rooftop to rooftop picking the town clean. I just hit level 20 last night and I have done zero quests along the main storyline.

I was wondering what you all felt about vampirism in the game. I just recently accepted the Dark Gift and I'm enjoying the bonuses thus far. For now I'm keeping myself well-fed, so I can still explore during the day and do various quests. However, eventually I plan on starving myself for blood to increase my vampiric abilities and slowly succumb to the monster within. At that point I'll go about the world leaving havoc and terror in my wake!

Have any of you thought about taking this route?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Wish I had time to play more of this game, but a full time job and now further study ontop of that doesn't do me much good

I've had 31 hours of playtime so far. I have a full time job as well, not to mention school after work everyday. I pretty much just spend as much (or as little) of my freetime playing Oblivion which usually means I play long into the nights.

And like I said before, I have barely even touched the main storyline. I spend probably 90% of my time just exploring, dungeon-crawling, or robbing cities! Between all of these activities my level has been steadily increasing with little signs of slowing down.

How ya doing, buddy?
