Ha ha, that is great. I will be getting oblivion soon for the pc, just looking around and the mods that are allready out look great, a huge plus for the pc version. If you have it, remcommend any good ones?

Ah, man, But it is buggy, some Ai if that can happen in game!

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

He ran into a trap. That happens. A cooler thing happened during the Gamespot 24hr Oblivion marathon where falling rocks took out a guy you were supposed to help as he ran ahead like in this video but then the guy playing it died and had to re-load and the NPC went ahead again and stopped before the rocks fell.

we need videos.

I don' t know about that as it was live, but check THIS out. The little fellow is a fucking pest.

I' d love to just sit and spend ours in this game - I' ll wait a bit longer though :)

...what bugs?... ....i didn' t see any...

I haven' t played it yet mainly because i' m not in tune with the series but might get it later especially if it' s as long as people say.

Him running into the trap is supposed to happen though, isn' t it? It happened to me on the 360.

The quest he' s involved doesn' t require his survival. I killed him before that part. The game isn' t linear and is the best example of free roaming yet and you don' t even HAVE to do the main quest at all if you don' t want to, ...there are 100' s of others to do and you don' t HAVE to do ANY.

Important people who' s survival is required to complete the main quest can' t die. They can be knocked unconcious but they can' t die.

but he shouldnt have run into the trap in the first place.

Usually traps are made to suprise you.

No, no. You' ve got it all wrong Majik.
Traps are made to make it more fun to visit places like dungeons and treasure chambers.
I mean they always have this repeating pattern so you can find the right timing and run through.
See, traps are made to be fun. Not surprises.

...is it me or does that clip get funnier the more times you view it?...

That' s the great thing about the Elderscrolls series. They' re set in the same world but each story is new and unique that doesn' t rely on previous stories or characters.

I' ve had a similar experience with an NPC getting owned before I could complete the quest. Except it was from falling logs instead. Made me shake my head in disbelief. So I just looted the corpse of the NPC, killed his family and took his house.

I' d highly recommend playing the vanilla version for a good while (around 20 hours) and see how you like it. That way you can see what the mods improve. If there' s something about the game that you don' t like there' s probably a mod out there that changes it.

No one can really tell you the best mods to get, it all depends on personal taste but a good place to start is here.

It has a very solid collection of mods that can suit most tastes and are of a high quality. I don' t recommend using all of them as many of them do similar things and I think it' s important that you don' t detract too much from that Oblivion look/feel of the game. I only use about 15 mods from that list and it changes the game to suit what I want/need without completely changing the whole game around. Make sure that if you use texture mods that improve the look of the game, you have a PC that can handle it. I use Qarl' s Textures mod and it makes all the textures look incredible but will kill anything less than a powerful PC.

edit: Meh, I guess I' ll make a few recommendations of the absolute best ones. All can be found in the above link.

Qarl' s Textures (puts the X360 to absolute shame)
Doof' s Grass (to be used with Qarl' s Textures)
Natural Environments (My fav mod. Makes Oblivion even more spectacular!)
Natural Weather Unofficial Patch (use this for above mod)
Landscape LOD Texture replacement (removes blurry distant textures)
Oscuro' s Oblivion Overhaul (makes hundreds of slight changes/balances)
BTMod (Allows you to see more while in menus/inventory)

Cheers, I' ll have a look into that when i get it, I will play it first and then just mod the hell out of it. Alot of those look really good.

But will any of those stop working if you apply a new patch?
