An Unfavourable Review of Oblivion

[LlamaGod]

I wanna see these people who had a hard time finding Caius and the Puzzlebox try to play Ultima 4

I really love apathy. In real life, I’m trying to reach the next level of existence though apathy alone.

I'm trying to propogate thru' osmosis, but that apathy thing sounds great - if only I could be bothe... :wink:

I just realized this; With the Xbox Live achievements thingie they'll have actual numbers this time around.

If there is the Oblivion equivalent of a Caius (Reynald Jemane?) and they set an achievement point for finding him, presumably Microsoft can provide them -actual- statistics on the number of players that find him. A dev can also see the relative popularity of, say, the guilds based on how many players sign up and then gauge how compelling/difficult they are based on how many stay on to become guild heads. I wonder, can the average Joe log in and see the total number of Oblivion players and what achievements have been achieved?

Wouldn't answer Override's question of -why- players aren't "finding" Caius, still would be interesting data to pour over.

And, of course, it would be Xbox data, and thus inherently flawed.

The Horror! TES 5: One main quest, two guilds, bows 'n swords, five skills, one city and only main characters who are quest related - BUT! they will have: Dual wielding, mounted combat and a yellow brick road that leads to your next assignment.

Oh yea, you won't be able to climb over knee high walls. Possibly.

you forgot a "3"?

 

[kingcomrade]

Why does it need a three? Were there other TES 5: Fallouts?

Yes, 2 of them.

Please tell me you're just pretending to be retarded.

Heh.

Doesn't mean they -have- to cut everything unpopular tho. Well, Bethesda prolly would. I would think raw data like this could be very interesting for a game designer. . . .

If they just expand on there Oblivion assets, keep the art, engine, AI, gaming systems. They could easily add more content and offer a better experience creating a new game/story.

They have the Graphics in a good place, all they'd have to do is add gobs of content.

Horse Combat, Spears, Crossbows, Throwing weapons, Climbing, Levetation, Short and long blade skills, Axe and blunt skill, Language skills, Huge dungeons, random generated content, more, etc.

Sounds good to me.

DF was the last good ES game. I can't believe anyone would buy into MW and OB being better then DF.

that's because you are brainwashed by all the negative posters over here.

No. I found this site after seeing all the garbage Todd and his merry little men were releasing about OB. My opinion was not formed by this site, rather reinforced.

I am looking for the day when OB will be behind us and Codex can engage other games worthy of attention.

I wanna see these people who had a hard time finding Caius and the Puzzlebox try to play Ultima 4

If they would have spawned in front of Britain, would they have found Lord British?

It would be even more fun if they spawned at Skara Brae, there isn't too much there and seeing come to grips with moongates for the first time is fun, especially if it dumps them in Magincia as their first place.

[hiciacit]

Fallout is not part of the TES series. Get it now??

The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Fallout

Explore the desert wastelands of Hammerfall as an evil wizard enslaves the nation with necromancy, ruining trade and turning people into mutated undead abominations.

You will take up the task to retrieve the magic glove and destroy the wizard and his evil tower in the middle of the land, as an ex-prisoner adventuer with a relation to a Chosen One, except your amensia seems to make you forget that.

The game features the latest Fancy-Pants(tm) Technology and 20% more Monty Python easter eggs than Fallout 2.

The game also tries to retain the Dark Humor of Fallout 2, such as having NPCs set rats on fire or hit them with a crowbar.

See old faces once again as all your favorite characters from Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel make solid comebacks and cameo appearances in your quest to kill the wizard.
