Oblivion? Worth a cog?

[Sepp Salerno]

I got this game years ago, pretty much when it came out, and at the time it didnt do it for me. I got nowhere in it, as I just didnt play on the xbox360 that much back then.

But since then I've heavily into Fallout games, in fact, FO3 is my favourite game ever. I'm pretty sure Oblivion is built the same way.....it is right?

So, what do y'all think? Should I dip into the scrolls?

[snowkatt]

it is but with out the guns or vats
if you like fall out 3 you shoudl really dip in to the scrolls and see how you like it

personally oblivion is one of my favorite games ever

[Sepp Salerno]

Good enough for me thanks pally!

Its well worth giving another go. I'm not normally all that interested in RPG's but this one consumed all my playtime when it was released. I'm 220 hours into it and still haven't completed all the optional quests and DLC.

Definately dip into the scrolls. I was never into RPGs until I played this. Flipping great game

Dive in, don`t just dip your toe in.Superb game, go for the Shivering Isle exp.as well, utter genius setting over there.

What's a 'cog'?

[Sepp Salerno]

A go

[snowkatt]

jump in
dive immerse your self
and if you have the pc version there are thousands of downloads to make a great game even greater

I wasn't sure about Oblivion as RPG's weren't my bag either. However Oblivion was and is a fantastic game, when I first set eyes on it I was hooked. I must of devoted well over 200 hours to that game! You play it in different ways too. My first play I was like a warrior, but in the second play I was an Elf and my main weapon was a bow and arrow.

As others have said, if you enjoyed Fallout 3, you should love Oblivion too. When you do play, watch out for caves containing vampires, if you become infected, you'll become one too!

Oh man! I am proper excited about this
Just ordered the game of the year edition online. I'll keep you posted as to how I get on with it, and thanks for the heads up on the caves - I'll try not to end up as one of The Lost Boys

Dive in, don`t just dip your toe in.

I agree. I've only completed the tutorial as I haven't had the time to set aside for the whole thing - but definately something I want to do. Maybe over the Christmas/New Year break...

For me, there's just no contest between the two; Oblivion takes a long protracted dump all over Fallout, with varied environments and some ace quests (although the main story is poo). You deffo need to commit to the game to get the most out of it, though.

Game of the Year edition? The Shivering Isles expansion is feckin' awesome. Awesome!

Ignore the advice about the caves, the exploration is the best part about the game - it's a totally immersive game world, even more so that Fallout 3 in my opinion and I'm a huge fan of the Fallout series. I strongly recommend playing as an archer and attacking from distance - it's immensely satisfying when you snipe an enemy from afar, just to see the ragdoll send them hurtling backwards in recoil - wonderful. In fact, I might play it again myself

[Sepp Salerno]

The more you all add, the better it gets. The thought to playing this is getting me a little too excited.
