The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

I built my new PC a couple months ago specifically so I could play this game on full tilt.

AMD64 Athlon 4000+ (single core)
GeForce 7800GT 256mb PCI-e
2gb OCZ dual-channel RAM

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Best. Game. Ever. See sig for screenshots (lipid domain banner)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Defaulted to ultra-high, i turned some sliders up from the default values in game though. Runs from 20fps (outside with grass and all the fun shadows of doom + 4xAA) to 160fps. Hooray for bethesda and randomness

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

I get a crash maybe once every 5 hours, and it doesnt seem to like alt-tabbing... other than that I've had no problems.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The screenshots appear darker than they look in game, and there's also a gamma slider. Not to mention a host of Light spells

I was speaking idiomatically.

<shrug> I can see it fine. Non-LCD monitors ftw.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I dont have any CTD problems that make the game in any sense unplayable. When I alt-tab, it gets screwey sometimes, but thats usually it. Maybe once every 3-5 hours will i CTD. And that's fine by me

FELIPE NO

You only level up if you advance your major skills a certain amount of times. I think 10, cumulative.

My character is level 7 and im not sure how far into the story i even am, atm. I'd check the guide but i refuse to ruin anything.

Spoiler:

I've already closed 3 Oblivion gates, though. the 1 at Kvatch and a couple more that were out to the n,nw of Skingrad. The other 2 werent part of any quests though, just happened to find them while doing the Skingrad Mage Guild reccomendation task

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
