    Does anyone actually like oblivion?

    I thought it was okay, but It is wayyyy hard. I don't even know what I'm doing. Graphics are great though. Your thoughts?

    It's good, but not better than Morrowind. Sure, it has some neat features and pretty graphics, but, in my opinion, the story isn't very interesting and the world doesn't really seem fleshed out at all.

    Oblivion is great for awhile. It starts off very hard, and then becomes stupidly easy. Environmental and character graphics are great...the gameplay becomes extremely repetitive and the story is highly derivative. It was pretty good when it was first released, its also fun if you have the TIME for it. Its disturbingly time consuming. So if you don't care about your free time, have fun with it.

    I will never play that game again!

    Yep I like it and I got morrowind to, but I was put of that bigtime because I had anoterh game at the same time called Wizardry 8 and it sucked mighty big balls and morrowind had the same feel to it so I didnt even get past the first quest. With Oblivion though its such a free road game, and it looks so good that I was hooked and its one of my all time fav PC games. Well that was after I added in a few mods to liven things up a bit

    Morrowind is pretty much exactly like Oblivion but last-last gen graphics, though there is now a community made mod to vamp up the graphics quite a lot

    Well, I like it a lot more than Morrowind. I bought Morrowind a few months/weeks (not sure) before Oblivion came out to see what I've missed but it didn't stay on my PC for too long... I just didn't like it. But Oblivion, I've wasted a "few" hours there.

    Hard? You seriously need to play Morrowind if you want to know what hard is. You can't kill anything for a long time during the beginning because your not strong enough, you have to utilize every power you can posibly gain, and on top of that, there's no toggling the difficulty like Oblivion has.

    the only thing, and i mean the only thing i dont like about oblivion is the fact that everything levels up with you.

    Morrowind has a difficulty scaler.

    I despise the leveling system.

    Overall it felt like they dumbed it down for mainstream appeal, something I never like.

    The only thing that remotely makes Oblivion redeemable for me are the mods. But even then...it's very easy to ☺☺☺☺ your data folder up with incompatible mods so you need to back up that data folder every time you install something new; it's a pain in the balls.

    I played through Oblivion once, and I got to the top rank of every faction in the game. The assassin guild was my favorite out of all of em.

    There's something about the feel of the controls and character movement that put me off. Like if you hold A and W to walk front and left, your character can easily just glide in that direction and it looks off. That one thing really kills immersion for me...kinda blows.

    I'll never not have Morrowind installed on my PC. The mods for it are better than oblivion's imo and the world is far more enjoyable to explore...
    just my two cents.

    i played for a few hours. And felt like i wasted my money.

    it was beautifull. But just... blah. The game itself didn't draw me in at all. it felt weak and uninspired. maybe i'll give it a try again now i've finished bioshock. But the game just didn't grab my balls like i was expecting to. the story progressed in the time i played so slowly that i could finish reading anovel before it was done.

    The leveling system pissed me off. There's no sense of achievement. You level up and so do the guys you see in the first dungeon. Thats not fun. if i spend hours making myself some big tough ass mofo. I want to be able to go back and kick the asses of the people who orignally gave me trouble. Now everyone is always hard.

    I liked it, it didnt make a massive imprint on me. I found the story better than the actual gameplay. Dont get me wrong, the gameplay was fun but i found that when charged with protecting people they would be too aggressive and keep running into my fire/sword and then turn on me through their own stupidity. I know thats not gameplay per se, its more the AI, but it affected the gameplay and in the end pissed me off.

    I actually reLLally like Oblivion. The main thing I like about it is how many quest options you have. There are several side quests not including Guild Faction Quests. I think it is a solid game with tons of playable quests.

    Please don't bump threads that are over three years old. There's a forum that's been created for talking about video games since this thread's creation, it would probably be better to go there.

    Also, please don't backseat moderate. Just report posts rather than spamming bumped threads. Thanks.
