  1. This is how Todd responds to the complaints of the fans

    Eh. I find it kinda funny. It's the sort of thing I'd put in my game.
  2. Intelligent dungeon design

    Getting back to the topic at hand... I'd really like to have dungeons where monsters know how to come at me. If there's giant spiders, they shouldn't be happily wandering around the cave, oblivious to all. They should crawl out of a crack in the ceiling after I've passed under it and come...
  3. Review Oblivion Review

    Please read.
  4. Review Oblivion Review

    This is consistently overblown. Guards regularly die to daedra that I can defeat. This is also overblown (except in the Arena, I grant). To really notice this, you have to be actively trying to break the system. The early levels go by quickly due to the math used in skill increases. My mage...
  5. Review Oblivion Review

    This is still arguing about something nonexistant, at least where Oblivion is concerned. I was still fighting rats and wolves at level 12 -- just in addition to other things, too. People, most of whom haven't played it at all or played it very little, have blown this issue way out of...
  6. Review Oblivion Review

    Only the small one-room side towers, although it is true that the main towers are quite similar. Er. The random Oblivion gates only appear if you're doing the main quest. I would reply with "that's not what I meant," but I'm pretty sure you are aware and were getting in a minor zing.
  7. Review Oblivion Review

    My problem with the review was mostly its structure. I haven't done a vast number of quests. However, thus far, two of them had obvious, explicit choices presented to me. One of them was the Pale Pass quest, which VD presented. Another allowed me to choose two methods of dealing with a...
  8. Your take on mods?

    Like anything else, some mods are great, many mods are worthless. The value of each is based on taste. Personally, I'm already using around 15 Oblivion mods. Some add depth, such as a requirement for eating / sleeping (which makes dungeon runs an often hectic race against the clock). Others...
  9. Review Oblivion Review

    This isn't a review so much as a message board post in a debate thread against the game creators. It didn't seem to be anything more than finding neat ways (often exceptions) to prove random dev comments wrong (an easy task in any game of this scale).
  10. You have to PAY FOR OBLIVION MODS? OMG, WTF? FUBAR!

    Yeah, this whole thing sucks. I'd hope this little venture fails completely. Shit like horse armor should be in patches.
  11. Review SA trashes Oblivion Radiant AI

    The Wait feature doesn't work the same as time passing normally. It really only seems to trigger actions based on specific times, like closing up shop.
  12. Your Oblivion screenshots

    Hmm. Well, someone released a higher-quality set of face textures on the mod forum. I applied it and everyone was instantly better-looking. They weren't as bad as that right there before, though. Still, it might be worth looking into.
  13. The real importance of the story for you?

    I don't care about story specifically; I just care about motivation. Story is often a great vehicle for it, but it can also really get in the way, depending on execution. There are also other things that can function as better motivators. For example, what I've been wanting to see for a...
  14. Your Oblivion screenshots

    Do your characters actually look like that in-game, Drain? That's really messed up. I'm seeing a lot more attractive characters (and I've met her specifically). Did you cut the jpg quality way down?
  15. The difficulty in Oblivion.

    I just let them die.
