Well, that kinda sucks. I'm nowhere near ready for it yet. Which means I am going to have to studiously avoid all Oblivion threads for the next 6 months.

 

AH well, at least I get to wait for the patches bewfore I get involved with it.

I played it with an nVidia Go (something) ...

I had a GeForce 3. I still have a GeForce 3. I'm screwed.

 

Actually, I've been putting off a gfx & RAM upgrade, so I can get those up to the recommendations if I can convince myself to part with the cash. But I'll still have a 2.0ghz processor.

 

Oh well. I'm not really burning to get this one anyway-- I'll wait and see what the reviews and community response are like.

Though, IMO even games an absolute crap settings today are still pretty nice looking games

The game will definitely be a graphics pig. (Morrowind was pretty demanding, too. ) If you aren't fussed by the hype then I doubt you'll be encouraged to upgrade for it after it has been released, either.

The likelihood of me being able to acquire it for cheap (i.e. free) helps.

The likelihood of me not caring enough for the title to even try to get it for cheap helps

I wonder if Bethesda will release some kinda demo for Oblivion.

They'll just show some 3 minute long footage of Patrick Stewart saying 'next-gen'.

Would every one not interested in Oblivion be so kind as to get the **** out of the thread? Trolling about Patrick Stewart and various game features weren't even funny the first time, and absolutely not the threehundred time either.

Pirate!

My birthday is the day after.

Wait, how is this their most ambitious game ever if they've removed half the gameplay features from their previous games and dumbed down the other half?

Are you one of those "OMG OMG there's no crossbow therefore this game sucks!" type people?

Are there horsies to ride?

Nope!

OMG Atrocities!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

No, I'm one of those

"The whole thing is terrifying, actually. Would you mind staying around for a while? Just to keep me company?"

"Why would I stay in this dump?"

"There's no reason to be rude! You can leave now if you want!"

"I'm only kidding, my friend."

"Oh, silly me. I should have known you were only teasing. Please, come on upstairs with me."

people.

Is there virtual sex? They won't be able to keep up with the geek demand, if there is ...

Nope! Nope! and Nope!

Trolling about Patrick Stewart

You may want to grasp the concept of trolling instead of accusing someone's lighthearted attempt at humor that doesn't conform to your preferences and trolling of being one and the same.

Well, that's not "cut" content hehe.

You're right. It's an ambitious feature.

Speaking of ambitious features the only one I am curious about is the stealth model that's being incorporated into the game. What little I read of it seems to suggest it's actually good and quite a step up from past Elder Scrolls games. It's being developed by Emil Pagliarulo who worked on Thief: Deadly Shadows.

AHA!  beat ya'll to the punch!... finally, a new game to play.

I haven't read much about it, just that shadows have been removed.
