Another Oblivion Thread

[Tintin]

Fuck this, I'm not buying Oblivion.

I'd like to believe that

Want to alienate you're long and trusting userbase for a bunch of console shitheads?

I wouldn't actually consider you or other Codexers as "long and trusting userbase"..

 

[Twinfalls]

Yeah more like the 'long and thrusting' userbase.

 

[Chefe]

I'd like to believe that

Believe it, sister.

I wouldn't actually consider you or other Codexers as "long and trusting userbase"..

You fucking idiot. Anyone with half a fucking brain would know I mean everyone who has been fans of TES since it's early DOS days. Why the fuck would I just mean the people who post on the Codex?

Perhaps cause you're the only one who is contemplating suicide over it?

Might also have something to do with this:

I've got
every time I
I'm not
I HATE
I buy

There's a difference between being "pissed off" and "contemplating suicide". Of course, being the emo fuck you are, you probably think they go hand in hand with each other. That's not how it works in the real world though.

Yea, ME. I described how I felt. What the fuck are you trying to say? If you haven't noticed, I joined this year. Now, I haven't been playing ES games only this year, oh no, I've been playing them for a long time.

You're an idiot. I swear. This only goes to further prove the point. Listen kid, THE CODEX ISN'T A COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUS.

because you know, every single one of us is the same.

 

[Twinfalls]

We're doomed. Fuck you Bethesda, now I KNOW you're dumbing down for the consoles. What's wrong, don't like PC gamers anymore? Want to alienate you're long and trusting userbase for a bunch of console shitheads? Now not only do we lose features because of these consoles, but we also have to gain their shitty AI? Seriously, THAT LIST SUCKS. I've got to scroll that fucking thing every time I want to get items? Bullshit. Bull fucking shit. Fuck this, I'm not buying Oblivion. I HATE shitty UIs. Next RPG I buy: Witcher.

Way to fucking go!

Well, one fact has now been conclusively established....

Chefe's gonna buy Oblivion.

Admitting it is the first step to recovery

 

[Tetragrammaton]

I HAVE SEEN THE VIDEO.

It's clear from the descriptions of the E3 demo that this is the exact same content, recorded and narrated.

I won't say how I got it, but I'd be glad to answer any questions about anything it contains.

 

[Vault Dweller]

I won't say how I got it...

What's with the drama?

The reaction of fans is amusing. What, no spear? Where are teh axes? Oh, it's not the official list then, we should wait for the official list, which, undoubtedly, would have spears and axes. lol. I like the official explanation:

It was intended to help educate store managers and employees at their annual meeting. We're aware fans want to see it too. We do plan to release it on the web as well as through other avenues.

We did not plan to release it now, nor will we move up our timeframe because someone ripped and posted it. It's not up for debate.

Don't post links to where to get the DVD or screenshots of it. This was not done with our permission. You guys should know we don't allow that sort of thing for articles, screenshots, or anything else.

 

[MrSmileyFaceDude]

I'm not buying Oblivion.

Ha, as if you'd have bought it anyway.

 

[Tintin]

angler, since you're not going to buy Oblivion, I guess there's not going to be any more bitching about it from you?

@ MSFD:

Any chance that the PC version won't feature that horrible inventory interface? Btw, who was the genius behind it? Who was the first who said "hey, let's make a really shitty interface - no, I mean REALLY shitty - and see what happens"?

What the fuck is wrong with that interface. It looks nice and oldschool - stat-heavy to me - Shouldn't you guys LIKE that? I think you are all grasping for anything to hate about this game, I keep laughing my socks of everytime you guys desperately try to beat each others to the most negative reply.

So tell me guys - WHY is that interfaces so fucking unforgivingly doomsday horrible?
:D

[Naked_Lunch]

Yeah, I played that game.

Ok, tell me honestly, Steve, do you think this interface is good and friendly and, like, totally awesome or maybe, just maybe, it could have been much, much better. Also, do you think that the console focus could have been less obvious? Just curious.

 

[Twinfalls]

A pink heart for the durability of a weapon?

Who's been on the gay?

Way to steal my thunder.

If TES forums got word of this, they'd go craaaazy.

Are you blind, by any chance? Have you played console games exclusively and have never seen a decent PC interface? What "stat-heavy" are you talking about? 2 lousy stats = stat-heavy? You've gotta be kidding me.

Anyway, to answer your question, the interface is cumbersome, you can see only 5-6 items vs an entire stock as in prev games, the stats spreadsheet is unfriendly, the icons are childish (well, consolish) - a heart? a fucking heart? give me a break, and the window is too small.

 

[MrSmileyFaceDude]

It's like GhanBuriGhan said -- it's a stats-heavy interface, much more so than Morrowind's. It's easy and fast to use, and gives you a lot of information at a glance. There are also information rollouts that appear when you highlight certain kinds of items that provide more information, such as the skill associated with a weapon, or the magical effects on an enchanted item, potion or ingredient. Unless you're simply offended by the large text, or maybe the color scheme, I'm not really sure what the problem is.
