OBLIVION

[Dark0ne]

ahem, correction, the purpose of ninza's is to assassinate and spy on people, honour means nothing to them. they were extemely dangerous people, not to be crossed with. I hate it when people misunderstand ninja's.

 

in a nutshell, they are espionage orientated.

 

LMAO @ Vaan. Humour is not your strong point.

I think if this is the last elder scrolls then they will make it the best danm elder scroll ever! .... but when you think about it, will it really be the last?

[Slaiv]

No one knows except Bethesda.

 

And I think this clearly states the truth about Ninjas:

 

Ninjas can kill anyone they want!  Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it.  These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time.  I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner.  And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town.  My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

 

 

 

And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

If you don't believe that ninjas have REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or they will chop your head off!!!  It's an easy choice, if you ask me. 

 

 

 

Ninjas are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants.  I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart.  These guys are totally awesome and that's a fact.  Ninjas are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet.  I can't wait to start yoga next year.  I love ninjas with all of my body (including my pee pee).   

 

 

Q and A:.

 

Q: Why is everyone so obsessed about ninjas?

 

A: Ninjas are the ultimate paradox. On the one hand they don't give a crap, but on the other hand, ninjas are very careful and precise.

 

 

 

Q: I heard that ninjas are always cruel or mean.  What's their problem?

 

A: Whoever told you that is a total liar.  Just like other mammals, ninjas can be mean OR totally awesome. 

 

 

 

Q: What do ninjas do when they're not cutting off heads or flipping out?

 

A: Most of their free time is spent flying, but sometime they stab.  (Ask Mark if you don't believe me.)

 

That, and what Dark0ne quoted:

 

Facts:

1.    Ninjas are mammals.

 

2.    Ninjas fight ALL the time.

 

3.    The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

I was reading On Oblivion, and found this...

In preparation for the next instalment in this series, I will be investigating two matters that have intrigued me since I began my career as a Daedra researcher.  The first is on one particular Daedroth, perhaps yet another Daedra prince, referred to in multiple articles of incunabula as Hircine.  Hircine has been called “the Huntsman of the Princes” and “the Father of Man-beasts,” but I have yet to find anyone who can summon him.  The other, and perhaps more doubtful, goal I have is to find a practical means for mortal men to pass through to Oblivion.  It has always been my philosophy that we need only fear that which we do not understand -- and with that thought in mind, I ever pursue my objective.

 

And from A Dance in Fire, Chapter 4:

A flash of white fire erupted from every crevice of the temple, and the moan of the Bosmeri prayer changed into something terrible and otherworldly. The climbing Cathay-Raht stopped and stared.

 

“Keirgo,” it gasped. “The Wild Hunt.”

 

It was as if a crack in reality had opened wide. A flood of horrific beasts, tentacled toads, insects of armor and spine, gelatinous serpents, vaporous beings with the face of gods, all poured forth from the great hollow tree, blind with fury. They tore the Khajiiti in front of the temple to pieces. All the other cats fled for the jungle, but as they did so, they began pulling on the ropes they carried. In a few seconds time, the entire village of Vindisi was boiling with the lunatic apparitions of the Wild Hunt.

 

Over the babbling, barking, howling horde, Scotti heard the Cyrodiils in hiding cry out as they were devoured. The Nord too was found and eaten, and both Bretons. The wizard had turned himself invisible, but the swarm did not rely on their sight. The tree the Cathay-Raht was in began to sway and rock from the impossible violence beneath it. Scotti looked at the Khajiiti's fear-struck eyes, and held out one of the cords of moss.

 

The cat's face showed its pitiful gratitude as it leapt for the vine. It didn't have time to entirely replace that expression when Scotti pulled back the cord, and watched it fall. The Hunt consumed it to the bone before it struck the ground.

 

Scotti's own jump up to the next outcropping of rock was immeasurably more successful. From there, he pulled himself to the top of the cliff and was able to look down into the chaos that had been the village of Vindisi. The Hunt's mass had grown and began to spill out through the pass out of the valley, pursuing the fleeing Khajiiti. It was then that the madness truly began.

 

In the moons' light, from Scotti's vantage, he could see where the Khajiiti had attached their ropes. With a thunderous boom, an avalanche of boulders poured over the pass. When the dust cleared, he saw that the valley had been sealed. The Wild Hunt had nowhere to turn but on itself.

 

Scotti turned his head, unable to bear to look at the cannibalistic orgy. The night jungle stood before him, a web of wood. He slung Reglius's satchel over his shoulder, and entered.

 

Perhaps Morian Zenas (The author of On Oblivion) finally suceeded?

^ I noticed that too, and it was very interesting.

 

Personally, I really hope this isn't the last installment of the series, but a new beginning to even greater games that make use of this amazing realistic technology. To me, the Oblivion screenies bring back that "classic" Elder Scrolls feel to them that Morrowind seemed to lack (because the Dunmer providence is essentially the oddball of the countries, I still love it to death though).

 

Hehe, over on the official forums, they act like the screenshots are skooma.

[Guest]

the screens look great

Them being even greater requires Oblivion to be great.....

 

As for me, I don't have my hopes up.

That's got to be pre-rendered graphics. Right? If not then the next Gen of consoles is going to be simply amazing! And they are developing this for the Xbox before PC? Or is there even going to be a PC version? PC gaming is hurting right now. I hope Microsoft can turn that around.

[Peregrine]

Of course there's going to be a PC version. Even if they hadn't said it yet (which they have), it would be incredibly stupid to release it console only.

 

And yes, those are ingame graphics. Better start saving money for your computer upgrade.

Computer upgrade sounds right, rather than just a processor upgrade. When is the release date for ES4? Anyone know?

 

2600+ Athlon XP 1536 Ram and 128 MB+ Vid card I can handle. That looks higher, but I could be wrong. Oh wait.... That's 64bit isn't it? Damn... i'll need a new PC powered by an Athlon 64.
