What are your thoughts?
Well, frankly I don't really care what it's about, I just hope it good.
But I'm almost scared to see it come out. See, I'm a die hard fangirl. If ME3 utterly ruins the ME2 romances like ME2 ruined the ME ones... I'm going to be soooo upset. :( I'm praying Shepard gets to stay with his/her ME2 paramour. PRAYING
please, Bioware, please oh please don't kill the love again... the ME romances basically got thrown under a bus in ME2 and that was very very upsetting...
-
I just hope TESV:Skyrim is epic. And big.
I don't know what to expect, honestly. For us Oblivion fans... it may take getting used to..

Male Shepards voice is crappy, imo HIS voice is the one that is extremely montone. Lacks expression, emotion completely. The person (voice actor) sounds like they were just reading their lines. FemShep's actually has expression.
And how dare you all speak ill of femShepard and female gamers like we;re all "tits with some legs"? What is that supposed mean? What is wrong with you fool men.
-
Really, by looking at all the advertising, you'd never have a clue that you have the option to play as a man OR woman in the ME games...
Does anyone else find it strange that every single piece of "official" art and the trailers only show Shepard as a man? I think it's weird. femShep is feeling neglected here.
And I don't like it, either, cause frankly, I like female Shepard a lot more than male. Shepard is WAY better as a woman. <3
Plus, her voice acting is a heck of a lot better.

Awesome, thank you so much for your help!
But there's a couple more I saw that look really cool that I've never seen before, does anyone know where these skins came from too?
(nudity alert... very very sorry I couldn't find any more tasteful pictures...)

Sorry for the icky picture, but does anyone know where the skin texture on the lady came from?

what armors out there use EBE/robert's male? :pinch:

Er can anyone recommend where I can find some good facial texture replacements? Currently I've got F-INV Oblivion and Dalls Beauty Faces; it's a toss up between the two and I keep find myself swtiching back and forth... Dalls' Beauty Faces are great. For some reason I like the look of F-INV's a little better, though, but the problem is they make males look a little weird, kind of effemniate if you ask me... and you can only have one face texture per race so you can't just apply 1 to females and 1 to males...are there any that look really good on both sexes?
-
Blades also have a higher damage/offense rating. :yes:
-
Once you've murdered someone, for ever after guards will randomly greet you by saying: "You. I've seen your kind before. You've got blood on your hands. Keep your blade sheathed, you murdering bastard, or I'll put you down myself."
How would they know your a murderer if you never got caught killing anyone? Another effect of the psychic guard issue or something?
How can you possibly tell this guy is a murderer just by looking at him?

Blades are still better. Me likes blades :thumbsup:
Although occasionally I like getting out an axe to beat people up with. :laugh:

Really, it's very interesting what you can find if you go sifting through the toolset. :thumbsup:
I looked at all the love scenes in the TS, and would you believe every single one of them has your characters going at it in Morrigans tent?... (yes even the ones with Al, Leli, and Zev)
Erm, that's a little strange lol. Morrigan really doesn't seem like the type of person who would freely let the PC and their love interest use her tent as a shag pad (and it doesn't even provide any privacy whatsoever... heck in Zevran's love scene with a female PC, at one point you can even see Morrigan standing right there just a couple of feet away...). I'm more than a little confused about this one. :wacko:
-
Yeah but the problem is, if you force players to do the exact same thing over and over again, it's going to wear out and they'll get bored with nothing else to do in the game.
Besides, the whole thing was something that the DA hero character was forced into completely against their will to begin with... why is sitting back and watching everyone die not an option?
And being trapped in teeny little spaces all the time is still a big immersion and gameplay killer.

My current character is a Wood Elf named Corbin Blenwyth. He's a vampire who loves roaming around Cyrodiil and sucking stupid people dry right when they least expect it. He loves adventuring and collecting knowledge, and spends a lot of time traveling around Tamriel looking for Ayleid ruins and disused forts to explore. He's also a light-armored sneaky little thief who greatly enjoys killing rich people and then taking all their valuable crap. Also, he's a lover of one handed blades. Daggers and shortswords, and sometimes longswords. :laugh:

Good question, I'll answer from a Dragon Age hater perspective. When you have played games that have an incredible amount of freedom to move around, you tend to dislike games with invisible borders at every corner. When you've played games that allow you to swing your sword and cast spells in real time, you prefer those kinds of games. When you play games that allow you to modify it in its entirety -- that is to say landscapes, races, buildings, scripts, everything. -- you tend to stick with games like that.
Dragon age didn't appeal to me, it felt like KotOR II. I'm done with games that allow you to be skilless in order to win, like Dragon Age. It's heavily statistics, and little action. The choices are funny, and the characters are unique, but there is no freedom of movement. You're always chained to the main quest. I just can't get interested in a game with no landscape or exploration beyond the beaten path.
Once you become a slave of one of the best games in the known universe (In your own opinion, of course), you shun everything else. It's as simple as that.
This.
Oblivion's wide open sandbox world automatically wins out over the closed-spaces and small number of visitable places in Dragon Age. See, a lot of people, myself included, like doing a lot just plain old exploring in video games. So if you give players a lot of places to explore, that's a huge bonus for your game.
Also, Oblivion's construction set is amazing. A big thing that's kept the Oblivion community so alive over the years is the extraordinary amount of modularity it has. Dragon Age... well, its toolset has very limited capabilities, and once all is said and done there really isn't that much you can do with it. Its toolset is also extremely buggy which doesn't help matters at all.
Also, as has already been said, the fact that Dragon Age has a very linear, clear cut story and quest path that you're forced to follow every time is decidedly unappetizing. The great thing about Oblivion is we get variety: Lots of different quest lines with unique and interesting storylines that completely take you away from the main quest. Oblivion's side quests are amazing. Dragon Age, though, did not have too many sidequests, and those that it did have I found to be extremely bland and boring.
Then there was the graphics. For a game that is more than 3 years older (which is a lot for video games), Oblivion still surpasses DA when it comes to graphics and graphical capabilities. Dragon Age's graphics were... so-so, but rather bland and unremarkable by 2009 standards. That's why so many people were more than a little disappointed when they first loaded up the game and found everything didn't look anywhere near as good as it did in the trailers.
There's also the fact that DA's game engine was really slow and glitchy. For a game that uses such low res textures and nothing but small, closed in world spaces, it should run as fast and smooth as greased lightning, but it doesn't. Seriously, even an unpatched Oblivion was at least still playable - even with the latest patch Dragon Age still is a very unstable game and the number of game breaking bugs and crashes is astounding. I won't start going off in a tangent about the infamous memory leak bug that caused horrendously long loading times... that was just terrible. Awful.
Not that I'm saying I hate Dragon Age or anything. I actually quite like it. Oblvion is just a lot better. :yes:

I appreciate the Earth-like landscapes of Tamriel, however, the strange scenery of the Shivering Isles was a nice change, and I would like to see a world with some more surreal and fantastic environments. It's easy to forget Oblivion is in a fantasy world sometimes when it resembles the real world so closely.
Me too. I really hope we'll get to see the giant mushroom "trees" from Morrowind again...
Maybe if the Empire is broken apart in TESV, our hero will be involved with resolving political issues across Tamriel. That's my closest guess. Really, if it's 200 years after the evens of Oblivion, who knows what it will be about. I just hope it won't be about yet another stupid Daedric prince causing crap in mortal world. Those Daedra are getting highly annoying and tiresome. :down:
It would be wicked awesome if he or she could re-unite all the nations into the next Empire and become the next Emperor or Empress or something. Even though it's not going to happen. :P
The possibilities are endless... I just hope the finished result will be just as epically awesome as the last four ES games. If not even more epically awesome. <3

I've heard that either Summerset Isle or Skyrim are likely candidates for the setting of the next Elder Scrolls game, though I'm really hoping that they will branch out and give us a larger world to explore, like let us explore all of Tamriel again like back in Arena. Frankly, I hope that if an Elder Scrolls V is ever released, that at the very least it doesn't follow the book sequels, because those were terrible and I was very disappointed by them. Though, it IS heavily implied that in TESV the time of the Empire will be over... if Beth decides to go along with that, I'll be very interested to see how things play out for Tamriel.

Thank you so much for your suggestions!
Currently I'm trying very hard to get "into" Morrowind. Unfortunately, in spite of my best efforts, the lowest possible graphics settings and miniscule textures, my eMachines laptop simply cannot run Oblivion at a playable speed. It can handle Morrowind great though so I'm trying it out ;)
-
Well I didn't mean "vital" in that sense, I'm just meant it's a really good one that everyone should have if their RAM and graphics cards can handle it. Very nice for visuals and atmosphere ;)
Also I highly recommend Better Cities. IMO, compared to the cities in Morrrowind, Oblivion's are rather disappointing, in regards to both size and in design. Better Cities doesn't really enlarge Cyrodiil's cities, but it does make them a lot more beautiful, unique, and interesting to explore. The creators were extremely... creative. :)
Unique Landscapes is also another excellent one. Really spruces up the wilderness of Cyrodiil beautifully and makes for a much more interesting and visually appealing places to explore. :)
-
What are some of the best "must have" Oblivion mods in your opinion?
I don't have too many ideas atm, sorry.. .but IMO the Graphics Extender is definitely a vital one.
-
What are some "must haves" for Morrowind?
That is, if anyone still actually plays this game... I hope so.

I'm leaving on a 9 day long trip tomorrow, and I don't want to be bored to death to whole time and have been attempting for several hours to get Oblivion installed and WORKING on my laptop but so far am failing.
I keep getting the same goddamn error that says, "d3dx9_27.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or contains an error." What the f"ck is this sh*t??!?!
My home computer is XP but my laptop came shipped with Vista unfortunately and the process of downgrading to XP on it was just too complicated for me. For the life of me I do not know why I can't get OB working on it. I swear I did everything right, I tried reinstalling it several times, I tried installing DirectX 9 (both a version I found online and the one that came shipped with the game). http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/wallbash.gif

Nothing wrong with being evil, I'm just curious as to why such a large porstion of the evil population in OB is Altmeri http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/tongue.gif

So if your character is male and you get talking with Alistair about sex, he asks you if you've ever done "it" before. Regardless of your race or origin, all the answers are the same for everyone, most of them proudly stating that your character has done it tons of times.
Which I guess makes sense for humans, noble or mage, because humans are like that. Same for dwarves, noble or commoner, because that's just dwarven men for you. But elves? I'm not too sure about that. The way elf society is, among both the Dalish and the city elves, they seem like the type that kind of shy away from having sex before marriage... and IMO I suspect all elven player characters are very inexperienced when it comes to intimacy at the beginning and are totally innocent. after all both the Dalish and the city elf communities are really small and tight-knit, so I assume they would probably avoid doing stuff like that to avoid causing drama and problems. why would a male elf tell Al that he's done it "many, many times", even though it's probably not true? Does he not want to seem like a wimp of an elf?
Morrigan and...

Well Loghain seems to be able to handle it pretty well, if he knows about the child...
My Warden certainly couldn't live with something like that hanging off his heart.
