I could go either way on this. Loved Morrowind, one of my favourite games, but hated Oblivion. I hope its more like the former.

I didn't mind Oblivion but Morrowind was much better. It just seemed to be a more interesting gameworld to explore.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Always looked at the Elder Scrolls and though hmm this looks good. But I have never bought any. I had Dragon Age for the 360 but I sort of lost interest which is weird because I was a huge Baldurs Gate fan. How does Obvilion compare? I like how its not a 'point and click' game so that helps my attention span.

IMO Oblivion>>>>>>>>>>DA.

It is a open world. You do what you want. You can pick up forks for crying out loud. You aren't forced to play in any way. The fighting is way less MMO like.

Oblivion was released in 06 so it is pretty past it's prime and it has some things that will really frustrate you.

But given it's price and the amount of time you will get out of it I would strongly suggest getting it. I got it early last year and really enjoyed it.

I assume you've seen reviews.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Yeah seen reviews. Looks great, I think I may be over the MMO combat style.

Even if you don't enjoy the game it isn't a lot of money. Anyway IMO Skyrim is going to be WAY better anyway.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Exactly. Wouldnt be a bad idea to get some idea of the story line by playing Oblivion. Skyrim's graphics look amazing, they look to be pushing the boundaries a fair bit.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Although it isn't a direct sequel it would help to have a basic outline of the games lore which can be in depth.
If you completely hate Oblivion I'm sorry

You can get Oblivion for like $25 these days.
IMO it is heaps better than Dragon Age. Like you, I also lost interest in it.
In Oblivion there is just shit loads of things to do. You can never run out. And if you get the game of the year edition then you get the shivering isles and knights of the nine expansion with it. So a ridiculous amount of things to do in that game.

Plus if you get PC there are a ton of mods for it. I didn't get halfway through DA but I will probably pick it up again some day.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

In a way, I don't want to get this game, as it may well end my existence in the outside world. Some footage here for those that haven't seen it yet. Looks awesome

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

I spent well over 100+ hours on Oblivion. One of the best games of all time. I can not wait for this epic game.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

The gameplay looks ****ing amazing. I am so excited for this. November is still so far away.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

God I hate games like this, I mean I love it but they are an absolute nightmare for completionists like myself.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Man and i just started playing Oblivion. Can't believe the scope of these games. 25 hours in and i haven't even started the main quest. Don't think i'll go too overboard with Skyrim just around the corner. Might just finish the main quest and save my 200 hours playtime for November.

I put quite a few hours into that game. Still need to do the Dark Brotherhood guild sub-plot. Each guild plot is a pretty good story in itself.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Todd Howard has stated that for you to do everything in the game it will take 500 hours.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

Looks awesome. The Dragon fights should be alot of fun. Bring on 11.11.11.

My fav game.

Absolutely awesome.

Like WOW with better atmosphere and graphics and no monthly fees.
Oh,the music is fantabulous too.

Hope the next one is good.

I'm sure it will be.

Probably the only game I will buy this year.

A bit over FPS and sports games lol.

Getting too old.

Oblivion is so relaxing and chills me out.

Re: The Elder Scrolls 5?

It looks like a massive improvement over Oblivion, and much better than I figured it would. What I love most is the injection of some genuine Morrowind style artistry to the environments instead of the drab random generated feel that was everywhere in its predecessor.
