Tired Of Seeing Idiotic Reviews From Players With Bad Pcs

[Ancalagon]

I've ranted several times (more than people would probably like to hear) about Oblivion and Morrowind. Essentially, I'm going to say "I agree" to everything Marxist, Peregrine, and Theta pointed out. Does that mean I won't play Oblivion? No, I spent money on the damn game and on upgrades so I could play it. What irks me is that graphically it is LESS better looking than Half-Life 2, and yet pre-ATI X850Pro I could run HL2 just fine with minimal fps problems. My biggest gripes are the lack of dialogue that's interesting, originality of dungeons, caves, etc. and the RAI which is only good for feeding guards poisoned apples (watching the npc's devour them is like watching a train-wreck in slo-mo, what? I'm sick like that). I'd say that the only really uber positive thing Oblivion has going for it, is the modding potential, because Bethseda gave the modders a HUGE reason NOT to keep the game vanilla.

I barely had any CTD's, and most of the times I did have them was because I was playing around with the console. A very few crashes playing the game normally.

 

The CS does crash a million times, even at the smallest and most normal things, but that's got nothing to do with the game itself.

Ok at risk of rehashing other comments... Oblivion isn't a masterpiece. It is a reasonable and immersive RPG and there seem too few of those about. It has problems, using a one size fits all skeleton-animation and mesh is cheap and nasty. I want cats and Argonians to have paws and look 'biped animal' not 'human in funny mask'! Personally it has nevered bugged on me except on exit and plays ok even in heated battle on my recommended spec p.c.

 

I think in the fullness of time the modders will make a silk purse out of this sows ear. Bethesda in charging extra for things like the Orrory are going to lose player loyalty in my opinion as these should have just been patch components to finish off the Uni, not dip a players pocket!
