Oblivion, Elder Scrolls IV Options

[Crushinator]

Go buy this game. I've never played anything more lush, vibrant, and alive before. Not even in an online game.



One moment I'm clearing out the monsters from a portal to hell, the next I'm avenging the death of the wife of a simple farmer at the hands of some creeps.

Then i'm fleeing from a pack of goblins only to run headlong into a couple of demons, but the demons decide they hate the goblins more than me, giving me a chance to escape as my two foes battle each other before the victor (the demons!) continues the hunt for my nooby ass.

Later on, I'm helping (!?) a schizophrenic elf figure out who is in the conspiracy to kill him (nobody is, it's all in his head, but he sure as hell doesn't know that), then I'm helping a fellow mages guild member free himself from a trapped dream dimension, where I battle inside his mind for his freedom.

And all this is just in my adventures wandering around outside, ignoring the main quest! It seems like every turn, every trail, every new person you meet opens the door to some crazy new adventure.



I've been playing pretty much every free moment since I picked this up on tuesday, and I haven't been disappointed by a single aspect of this game. Oblivion surpasses even GRAW and sets the bar for next-gen graphics, immersion, and game scope. All future single player RPGs have a hell of a lot to live up to, now.

The gameplay is much tighter than Morriwind, the combat is actually fun and tactical now, and magic use is a breeze. It even takes realistic physics into account, with enemies reeling back from where you impact them, and explosive spells sending items (and bodies!) flying away in all directions.

Crushinator 100% recommendation, you must play Oblivion!

PS: I'm playing a redguard assassin, specializing in archery and totally sweet katana moves.

PPS: All these screens are 100% accurate to how the game looks on the 360 Pretty smooth framerate throughout, considering the scope of the game, and holy shit at the draw distance.

Scope out this if you havnt, has all kinds of crash/tweak and other useful info for obliv. The nvidia ide driver caused me probs till it rashed it. I do crash every now and then, but i think that is more related to the memory leak, and ofcourse the crashes on closing.
