Ok, So I splashed out on oblivion... Well not exactly splashed, more like, sprayed a little water. I got it for $31 bucks from EB, They had it as a christmas special, but I also got staff discount, saving myself $19 bucks. Woohoo.
So even though this game came out in about 2005 with the release of the 360 it is still an awesome game. I got a good 60 hours of gaming time out of it. I finished the main quest after about 35 hours. I was about half way through, collecting all the daedric artifacts when all of the monsters suddenly decided to become balanced to my character, so all of a sudden the game was hard again, I had to go do some side quests for a while so I could actually stand a chance. I decided to be a knight. BAD IDEA, I didnt realize hand to hand was one of my major skills. HOW OFTEN DO YOU USE HAND TO HAND??? Never. What a useless skill.
Some people prefer Morrowind because it hasnt been dumbed down for the console people but I still prefer oblivion. I couldnt really get into Morrowind, something about it just didnt grab me. Maybe it was the fact the journal didnt do all the work for you like it does in oblivion, and how you also had to find a giant fle to be able to fast travel anywhere. A few skills have been taken away in oblivion, but you dont notice anyway. I DO find it annoying how you cant find master alchemy gear straight off like you could in Morrowind. Now it seems it doesnt become available in stores till your skills reachs that point.
The major flaw with this game is that when you reach the end of the main quest, chances are youl have pretty much the awesomest stuff its possible to get. After daedric armour (And glass for light armour people) theres nothing left. Stuff is just to easy to find cause EVERYONE starts wearing it.
Anicdotes about oblivion:
Izak: OMG, Two zombies! I can't kill those yet!" *dives through the falling guilotien traps and runs out of the ruins.* thank god, safe now.
matt: Im pretty sure enemies can go through doors now...
Izak: What? Really? Whatever! *Looks at door to ruins. Two zombies materialize in front of it*
"SHIT FUCK SHIT!" *Runs for miles, quickly pursued by the two zombies and whatever other monster is bored enough to tag along.*
Oblivions just like real life: Ok so I decided to go shoot some arrows out in the field just for fun. *shoots arrow, it lands in a bush* Fuck, I lost Matthews arrow.
Two hardened warriors fight each other on a windswept desolate mountain, with one last swoop of the clamore the smallest of the two goes flying. He lands on the ground and before his aponent can loot his corpse he goes sliding unserimoniously and as quickly down the hill like a newly waxed taboggen. His foe shouts down to him "You could have at least not biffed your sword and shield into the foliage!! I CANT FIND IT."
A painter slowly paints a picture of the great white towers. He slowly drops his paint brush beside him to gape in awe at its majestic hights. He looks down at his paint brush which still hovers beside him, as if it has no gravity "HOLY SHIT!"
