You tell them, bro!Another thread where we can have the same exact discussion over and over again. How exciting!
This reads like a series of Trump tweets.YES!!! It's about time someone posted something negative on Oblivion! Ok, good, I'm ready!!!!!!!!! I've been saving this joke for 6 years since it came out:
The best part of the game is uninstall.com!!!!!!
That game literally gave everyone cancer... of the ASS!!!
Everything about it sucked. It was decline. What was Patrick Swayze thinking doing the voice of Uriel Septum!? (Well, he's dead now so I won't go there. I'll admit he got robbed of the Oscar for his work in Roadhouse, if that's not a bannable offense.)
LEVELSCALING!!! WHAT?!!!! Who else didn't like that? Huh?! How about that!
Four Voice Actors!!! Nice job, Bethesda - probably worked those poor folks to death! I played the game and I could hear the NPC's get hoarser and hoarser as I went along, til at the end they all barely spoke in a whisper! They probably will never work again, they probably blew out their vocal chords! In the expansion pack, I don't think anyone said anything - they couldn't!!!
Personality wheel thingamabob?! What's that all about?! Don't think that's how it works in real life!
That corpophilia chick who wants to actually have intercourse with dead people?! Sick! No place in gaming! Stopped playing here!
Horse ARMOR!! ARGH! What is this world coming to? People paid for that stuff! I paid $5.99 and it barely worked!!! Think they patched it later, so I guess in the end it was $6 well spent!
Those damn Oblivion gates! Annoying!
Everyone has glass armor and only two hours ago, they had ebony or whatever armor!! What is there, some MAGIC armorsmith in the forest that makes things? Not likely!!!
The Ending! Can't comment on that because I've never seen it! Probably sucks liked the 200 hours it took me to get there!
Sorry, I only enjoy the finest Elder Scrolls experience there is.

I'm pretty sure this is better than the real deal.
These poor souls now just play as 1 or 2 characters in the later games.Four Voice Actors!!! Nice job, Bethesda - probably worked those poor folks to death!

Bethesda games may be what they are, but they sure do give lasting memories of fun emergent gameplay or just amusing quests/worldbuilding, especially if you wereyoungera LARPer when you played them.
Fixed.
I'd say the best way to remember Oblivion, is simply to listen to the soundtrack
As demonstrated here, the key character quality of a LARPer is perpetual denial.
I've tried starting Skyrim several times. Folks are crazy about Skyrim so I thought I'd give it a try. I even have the HD edition or whatever. As boring as Oblivion was, Skyrim somehow made things duller. Once you get past the graphics, the game feels barren. At least Oblivion had those those Daedra statues, some (semi-) original quests in tone and approach (the guy stuck in the painting, the guy stuck in a dream), and "Halt! Criminal Scum!" Other than "FUS RUH DAH", I can't think of anything memorable about Skyrim.Is it correct to call Skyrim a hiking simulator when there's no exploration and no "smelling of the roses", but instead is follow the Quest Compass by Fast Travel? Or at least that's my impression, not having played it.
As evidenced by the guy shilling his ASCII shooter for 99 cents.
Oblivion
Why is it people always talk about these two quests when praising Oblivion's quest design?(the guy stuck in the painting, the guy stuck in a dream)
Probably because they are the only two vaguely interesting/memorable quests and you'd like to think even the worst of games have at least one redeeming quality. Honestly had more fun with the broken mess that is Arena than any of Bethesda's recent titles.Why is it people always talk about these two quests when praising Oblivion's quest design?(the guy stuck in the painting, the guy stuck in a dream)
That's because you're thinking half-orcs' opinions are worth much when it comes to american video games made for children.![]()
Even your avatar disapproves of you playing Oblivion.
