OblIVion pwns

Shadow hide you.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Oblivion overwhelms. Seriously, never playing an Elder Scrolls game before I am completely overwhelmed. I have no idea what to do (well I could do the main quest, but I mean besides that) and I just keep getting killed. In any other RPG I play, you go into someones house, you take the stuff in the Barrel!! Well I did that and the bitch called the gaurds on me. I was given the choice to resist arrest, so of course you do because gaurds in towns are always lame and easy to kill. He calls 20 pals and they kill me. Lucky for me autosave saved it just AFTER Iresisted arrest, and since I' m an idiot, and rely on autosave, it' s the only one I have. So now I' m in town being killed non-stop by an army of gaurds, and it' s my only save. I just escaped the town last night only to be killed by a guard from another town I went to because I had " stolen good" . I hadn' t even been in the town yet, so I don' t know how the hell he knew. Pigeons I guess. I am having a blast with the game, but it is just that, overwhelming.

This game is awesome in every sense of the word!

I got the 360 version and have been playing now for 8 hours straight, ...i seriously can' t pull myself away from it, it' s that good...

How far along is everyone else?

I' ve done a fair bit of sightseeing, ...but now i' m following the main quest. The Seige of Kvatch was very cool, and i managed to pick up some very cool stuff from there.

I picked up a dual handed Katana, along with complete Blades armour when i got to Cloud Ruler Temple and was made a Knight Brother of the Blades. Now i' m looking for the final 2 books on the Mysterium Xarxes, ...but i think i' m going to try and find the Dark Brotherhood first and see if i can join them...

Anybody fought skeletons yet???

Im where you are majik,need to find baures,or wtf his named.
And i played 9 hour so far,these side quest keep killing me :P
Btw,did you meet that weird elf? who is insane? :)

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

I' m not too far out of the sewers. I just started walking around and found some ruins and started delving into those.

I' ve probably played about 6 hours myself. Of course 2 of those hours were just trying to make a hot chick in the character editor!! Don' t tell me I' m the only one! You have to AT LEAST try to make a hot chick, and yourself! It' s in the rulebook! If only we could have a contest of who could make the hottest character! That would be SWEET! (of course I' d win!)

A wierd Elf??? Err, ...no, not yet...

I' m loving this game!!! I got the other two books within about 5 minutes of being given the quest, then figured out the secret, found the secret shrine place, chose to do it my own way and just murdered everybody, escaped, went back to Cloud Ruler Temple, got another mission and went and murdered some more people...

I' m calling it a day and getting some sleep. Tomorrow i' m going to introduce my girlfriend to the game and watch wth much amusement as she attempts to mak sense of the story...

Did you get any really cool weapons yet?!

When you enter skingrad he might appear,he is clearly insane,i dont wanna spoil more,but he gives quest,to spy on normal people,who he thinks is plotting to kill him,he pays good but ...nvm :P

Btw im no assassin or crazy guy like you,im a knight!!! :P

I' m a Knight Brother of the Blades, ...but they keep sending me to kill people...

I want to join the Dark Brotherhood though...

I created my own class! The Ranger! The skill set is based on Aragorn. At least the way I perceive him!

Damn! I am going to get the PC version soon(hopefully!!!), then I can join you lot. Until then, I will have to play what' s left of some of my other, neglected, games.

Hey marink you' ll have to tell me how it runs on PC. I' ll be getting the PC version I think too, but I' m waiting until my final exams are finished in a month' s time! Otherwise I' ll definitely be failing!

I did the first main quest mission and then went off to do other things.
-Grand Champion of the Arena (nickname The Tamrial Terror)
-Moved up 4 ranks in the Thieves Guild
-An Associate at the Mages guild altho
-Moved up several ranks in the Dark Brotherhood
-After the first few ranks in the Brotherhood I was offered to become a vampire.
Thing is I wasntr quite interested just yet, however I accidently slept in the place he said to and he turned me during the night! So now I' m a vampire and I' m out looking for a damn cure which requires me to find 5 empty grand gems. I stole 2 and found 1 other. I got 2 more but they have souls in them.

Thats just achievment related stuff, I been doing an insane amount of side things and even bought myself a horse. I wanna find the unicorn tho.

I have nothing to do this weekend so I plan on playing as much of Oblivion as I can stand. Ahg this game is so damn good!

I wonder which expansion will be in this game,hopefully they will open,the nordic world or the elf world O_o

The friggin Dark Brotherhood has some of the best and most fun missions in the game! I just did a mission fashioned in the game of Clue pretty much lol. And the other methods required to get the other missions accomplished are awsome. Sure you cn just run in and kill but to get the bonus is so much more fun.

My 360 clan who normally get together everyday to play some first person shooters (we can fuck you up in GRAW) are now all hooked on Oblivion including myself. We can' t even organize a decent match since it has been released. My entire clan is refering to Oblivion as " crack"

we can fuck you up in GRAW

Quez & I would ruin your entire team!



Err, ...how long have you had GRAW?! You only have 2 achievements, and one of them is from completing the ' training' level...

I haven' t been playing the single player, like you said I only finished the training then I spent all my time online with my buddys. And I' ll be the first to admit that I' m only average. I can hold my own but I probably won' t be the star player, the reason my clan is unbeatable is that we have enough players that play the game at least 3 hoursa a day, that and the fact that we always play together. We have chemistry working together.

My 360 clan has about 90 members with about 6 who play Graw everyday (I' m not one of them). Every match we' ve played together we win, we' ve never lost, the only time we lose is when we play against eachother. So yes my clan would murder you and Quez.

I like that...

extreme chemistry

I once built a bomb (a small one) and blew up a greenhouse. I stole (borrowed without asking or intent to return) the chemicals from the chemistry labs at school. It worked pretty well too.

Would that be considered " extreme chemistry" ???

we' ve never lost

There' s always a first time!

Quez could take on 6 people by himself, ...he' s like a man posessed. As for me, i play Ghost Recon a little better than i play CoD2, ...it helps that Ghost Recon 2/Summit Strike was my most played Live game before i got my 360. They are simply awesome games!

Now i' m waiting for Double Agent, which no doubt will take over from Chaos Theory for my online Splinter Cell time...

AHum,i even play 1vs2 matches,or 2vs5 games,you wanna meet me in graw,invite me and i fight :P
Swedish steel you know :P

Quez and Majik if you want to play 2 on 5, I could use a laugh. My Gamer tag is Agent Ghost, add me to you friend list. I can organize a match with four other clan members friday night maybe earlier if you like. 2-5 ha ha ha thx for making me smile. or even 3-5...

What are your gamer tags?

Of course 2 of those hours were just trying to make a hot chick in the character editor!! Don' t tell me I' m the only one! You have to AT LEAST try to make a hot chick, and yourself! It' s in the rulebook!

That' s so true!! Unfortuantely my chick ended up looking really nasty, so when they gave me the chance to change I did, and became a dark elf with custom class " lost soul" . I know, deep. Anyways, I' m not running into as many side quests as it seems everybody else is, but I' ve yet to join any guilds or clubs or anything, does that open up a lot more?

My female character came out rather nice actually. However I forgot to tweak her skin tone so she' s on the lines of an albino with deep blue hair.

Anyhow I did the 2nd mission for the main quest finally and have now went back to doing whatever i damn well please! I love telekinesis, to bad either im not strong enough or the current level of telekinesis i have is to weak to throw bodies around.

I also went ahead and spent my vast amount of money on a 25,000 home in Skingrad. Got some furnishings for it and arranged things to my liking. I couldnt lift the sphere i got from closing the Oblivion gate but with telekinesis it wasnt a problem balancing it on top of a stolen statue I got. My display cases house the bonus rewards i got from doing the assassin missions. Its all quite nice.

How come every1 else is so far in? You guys must be playing for 15hrs a day or something. I' ve only just closed my 2nd Oblivion gate but i don' t have any fancy weapons or ranks or anything like that.

I think i must suck!

I have 6 hours of gameplay done, and haven' t even finished the first main quest. admittedly I run around A LOT. I wish I could play NON-STOP. Maybe I' ll fake sick from work tomorrow

Maybe I' ll fake sick from work tomorrow

Really, what else is it there for, eh?

I just used the " Generate" button to randomly generate faces until I got one that was decent, then I just altered it (quite a bit, actually). I know, I know. That' s cheating! But hey, I had already played with the damn thing for two hours, so I was done!

Here' s something, though. For those that don' t know (I didn' t until my friend told me about it), you can manipulate objects by holding down the left bumper. You can move stuff (even big logs) and drag dead bodies around. Don' t try burning them, though, cause it doesn' t work!!

How much money do you all have? I' ve been playing 8 laxidasical hours, and only have about 500 gold. I see MassX has tens of thousands in gold, something I' m missing? And thanks for the holding info Cheesaw. I read in the manual that you could " grab" things, so whenever I tried it, I looked for my hand to go out and grab stuff. I just assumed it didn' t work because my hand never grabbed stuff, now I see that it doesn' t animate. I had great fun holding onto big spiky balls last night and then letting em' fly at the baddies as they rushed up the stairs.

Ive killed alot of people and stolen alot of things to get where I' m at.
The Arena is a source of good money if your character is strong enough.

Oh one other thing dont store your items in any random box for too long. Over time others people come and take them...I found out the hard way. Says it in big bold letters in the instruction manual too...


" IM RICH BEeee-YATCH!"

Quez and Majik if you' re both still interested in a match it will probably happen sometime this weekend. Maybe Saturday afternoon.

I' ll PM you tomorrow i think and we' ll set it up.

Will you be getting Far Cry too?!

I won' t be getting Far Cry, I already don' t have time for the 360 games I already have and I' ll still be getting DW5 and maybe BattleField2.
