Guest Accept Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Accept - I think the game is well worth the purchase. It often looks better than NWN2, the horizon goes out way further and doesn't suffer from fog clipping, and it runs smoothly with all options maxed even on mediocre systems. The only shortcomings are the combat (first try in this series so it's either really difficult or stupidly easy), and lots of unanswered questions by the end of the game. The latter is due to the story being an ongoing project, which is why Dreamfall Chapters episodic content is planned. At the least, it extends the story of the original game so you find out what's up with April, Crow, Brian Westhouse, and others. Of course, if you haven't played the original, you'll miss all that history. It's not required knowledge, but it helps. Ah, thank you. I think i will give it a try, then.

Wistrik Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 (edited) I agree, playing these games is like reading a good book, and in some ways that's better than what CRPGs manage to pull off. I never got to catch the inevitable meaningful final sentence in the ending, though, as the game crashed in the very last bit. Wistrik, judging by your screenshots you must be finished by now. is there anything good after the camera comes in through the doors on the beachhouse, the girl talks on the bed, the camera spans out of the house again - is there a lot more after that? I've finished it a couple times now; was too busy solving quests to focus on screenshots the first time. There is a bit more after what you experienced... (mega spoilers ahead) You didn't mention the false Reza that walks in before the camera leaves the room, but he shows up and greets Zo Edited May 20, 2007 by Wistrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigranes Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Oblivion was always a nice looking game, wasn't worth buying expansions though. Wistrik, because the camera panning out looked so much like the end of the ending, and I had previously heard about how the ending was incomplete, I thought that was pretty much it. I was dealing with annoying crashes at the time and didn't feel like it. I'll try it again now, though. I understand that the episodic releases now in production will conitnue the story.

Tigranes Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well, I'd probably rather have played the expansion(s) than the main story, but after investing 60 hours into Oblivion I've sort of sucked that world dry - maybe in the future, after a couple of years.

LadyCrimson Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 When produced games commonly have graphics like those, I'll probably get more into wanting to have the latest hardware right now. “Things are as they are.

I know what you mean tho - I don't think I'd like it for a WWII game very much. Depends how they use them in the game. “Things are as they are.

Cybran rapid fire TML's eat GC's for lunch. eh, I have a tendancy to not use them. about 100 of the tier two land defenses were able to make mincemeat out of that guy without breaking a sweat (just lost my air defenses that you see in the pic) after this I used 2 battleships and assortment of destroyers and a skillion subs to clear a path for three monkeylords to hit the Aeon base (what was left, heavy artillery installations have a tendancy to decimate your opponents) before stopping the UEF's naval attack (nearly lost a support commander, one of six I had operating) before mopping up the UEF base (which has... limited defenses to say the least, and NO strategic missile defense) weird part was that the UEF killed the CZAR in one of their attacks on the Aeon base.

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I'm all for it I wanna see some serious dismemberment, naturally it should be mature only. Games make me wonder i'm trying to figure out what kinda era we're in, after all... Gaming is well past the early stages, it's hard to comprehend sometimes. "I'm a programmer at a games company...
