Yeah, I have to systematically go through all the old content items and fix up their formatting and image links.

Must be some kind of script or something you can use for most of it

Anyway I like this old review but I think he was way too kind on the combat and dungeon crawling. I couldn't see all these positives when I played

Oblivion's dungeons are somewhere in between, and overall, superbly done. They are well designed, very atmospheric, with levers, buttons, and secret doors, and everything else you might expect from a good dungeon. After a while you may notice a repeating pattern, but it never bothered me.

:hero:

Please prioritize this one.

Why did you necro this now? It seemed such a nice day, too, with the forums exploding into generally positive discussions on the new Shadowrun game, but now you bring up this blandly mediocre game. Were you afraid that a full 24 hours of happy Codexers would spark the Rapture?

Since this review always bring a smile to my face, the coming of the end times might actually have been hastened. Unless of course it's case of me being too easily entertained, but come on, look at this:

I think it's fair to say that a game involving a demonic horde invasion qualifies as a dark game.

:lol:

I reviewed Fallout 3 and New Vegas for NMA; Lionheart, Space Rangers 2, Gothic 3, Mask of the Betrayer, Mysteries of Westgate, Depth of Peril, Dragon Age 1 & 2 for the Codex.

I don't know, it's weird. Oblivion and Fallout 3 are now nostalgia-material to the gaymer public, yet to the codex it feels like a recent wound. It's like when you overhear the conversation of those old men on the bench at the park and find out they're still angry about that war that happened 90 years ago.
