Have the settings turned down or were they being naughty with the trailiers? I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

Have the settings turned down or were they being naughty with the trailiers? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My specs aren't particularly top-notch. I just have them set to autodetect. The framerate is good and loading hasn't been a problem, so I keep the settings as they are. I could try the game on my brother's brand new comp, but that means another installation, and I frankly can't be bothered. Lo and behold, I finally get the experience first-hand the infamous NPC-NPC crapathon. I couldn't actually hear what they were saying since they were all bloody talking at the same time. I got close enough to one of them for it to pop up in the subtitles. WHAT. THE. CRAP. Doing what any sensible person would do upon such emotional trauma, I drew my sword and went into a killing spree. My blade skills, of course, weren't actually high enough to even remotely damage anyone The choice, of course, was obvious. So, erm, yeah, I ran. Saw some water, so I jumped to freedom, trying to swim my way to safety. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Llyranor Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 See those floating helmets? Those guards were ripping my ninja to shreds Alright, after messing around a bit in the Imperial City, I can easily say that Oblivion destroys Morrowind - if for the wrong reasons. Idiotic conversations + stupid voice-acting has a nice comedic value that Morrowind's pointless encyclopedias could never hope to match. The NPCs have their own 'personalities (for the completely wrong reasons, but that's irrelevant). I'm actually laughing at their stupidity instead of wanting to punch them into a wall (previous killing spree attempt excepted). This is a good thing... if, again, for the wrong reasons <_< (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Gromnir Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 So it's Benny Hill does Morrowind? Or Carry On Up Morrowind? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the thing is that the humor we has seen in the dialogues does not appear to be intended. llyranor's pov may be different, but most of the writing encountered so far has a groan factor that makes it difficult for us to stomach. again, we may be jumping to judgment too fast and will give some more time, before we decides. HA! Good Fun!

California, 274 U.S. 357 (1927) "Im indifferent to almost any murder as long as it doesn't affect me or mine."--Gfted1 (September 30, 2019)
Llyranor Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Oh, Gromnie's definitely right. I haven't seen any actual attempt by the writers to genuinely be funny. One example of a conversation: "I hear Errandil is good with a lockpick.""I heard he's good with locks." "That's what I heard." "Good day."

Llyranor Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I uploaded a short clip featuring about 1 min of NPC-NPC dialogue. The beauty of it is that they're all talking at the same time. 3 megs. http://s42.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0E60IWL...R43LWKYZZ7UXNKN (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
