The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Today it was officialy announced the game would be in shops on 20 March for both PC and Xbox 360. I'm a happy man, one day before my birthday =3 Who else is excited over this title? Do you think it'll be the RPG of the year?

Link.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I hope it doesn't come with the thousand bugs Morrowind came with, that was a horror. Even with the patches it was still full of them.

Most amazing jew boots

I think it won't be that bad if you disable AA and HDR. That's what makes it all look so fancy. Also, disable the high-details (grass comes to mind) and it might run fine.

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

The "main" cities in Morrowind only had a handful of NPCs walking the streets and for such "big" cities that were centers for trade, I didn't get a sense of even being in a city. They felt more like ghost towns. I hope Oblivion is different.

It's not very realistic when you find NPCs wandering around in dungeons, is it?

Also, a "handful" of NPCs? The cities were pretty crowded.

You can buy a house, this time. Of course you can the money from stealing

I was speaking idiomatically.

Something just crossed my mind. Do you guys think there is someone crazy enough to re-make Morrowind? It wouldn't surprise me =p

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Here is another preview.

FELIPE NO

More.

How ya doing, buddy?

No idea, didn't read it myself. =p

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yea, I love the arrows they use against the Tauren (yea... Tauren!), and the fight with the goblin looks amazing too.

Did anyone notice that most recent screenshots and video's are all taken around the city with the big tower?

How ya doing, buddy?

The problem with Vivec wasn't how big it was, but how annoying it was to navigate through.

Also, doesn anyone know if the "cell-loading" thing still exists in Oblivion?

I still know when I bought a 1 GHz CPU and it was brand new, and state-of-the-art. It could play Max Payne!

How ya doing, buddy?

Lies.

Are you kidding? The minimum is 2.0 Ghz, 512MB RAM and a Radeon 9500.

I'm pretty sure it'll do just fine. I'll play it in 1.8 Ghz, 512MB RAM and a Radeon 9700. The CPU-speed is 0.2 Ghz below the minimum requirements, but the rest is good enough. I'm sure it'll work.

How ya doing, buddy?

Someone has it out there:



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

I know the webmaster of planetelderscrolls.com didn't, and that's a pretty big community.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It seems like I'll get the CE version, which is something I love. Too bad I'll have to wait around a week for it

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hey, this is not the request forum! >=O

And no idea =\ I think the protection is somewhat funky (new Securom from what I've heard).

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

It deserves a download while I wait for my game to be shipped

I wouldn't be surprised if they blacklisted the common tools as CureROM, Anti-Blaxx, Daemon-Tools and Alcohol 120%. If it's so easy to play, then why didn't anyone release it yet?

How ya doing, buddy?

Did you even read what I just said?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

My point is, so far there can't be a version that's been rebuilt yet, since the last build was on 19 March. If Oblivion (= Securom 7) blacklists CureROM, or at least has a way to annoy CureROM, it first has to be fixed before any release can be made.

FELIPE NO

They claim the French release has been around since yesterday, yet where is it then? No torrent, no screenshots, no nothing.

People aren't getting this from the internet, as it's simply not out yet.

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

Don't worry, it most likely will. As you can see for yourself, your videocard can handle all the things it needs:

Quote:

Video RAM: Required - 128 MB , You have - 128.0 MB
Video Card 3D Acceleration: Required - Yes , You have - Yes
Video HW Transform & Lighting: Required - Yes , You have - Yes
Vertex Shader Ver.: Required - 2.0 , You have - 1.1
Pixel Shader Ver.: Required - 2.0 , You have - 1.3

edit: wait, I didn't read it properly ._. You better download it it first before trying.

How ya doing, buddy?
