The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion - 03/21/2006

Well everyone its coming! Just around the corner is hopefully the best RPG to come out in the last couple of years. I already pre-ordered the PC Version (Colectors Edition) at my local EB.

Anyone as excited as I am!?!?!?!

If my system could run it I'd be more excited!

Enjoy.

It's also coming out for the XBOX 360!.... just in case

I'm defanitly looking foward to this one, but where did you get that date from? I dont see anything announced on the offical site but mabye im just blind

The March release date is a "best guess" by vdgame journalists. Bethesda has not released an official release date as of yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in March or April.

Well EB Games and Gamestop have the 03/21/2006 release date so thats where it came from. Im hoping the game does not get delayed again since it was supposed to come out in 11/2005.

They've pushed the release date back several times....if they don't release it it March I'm going to be....very upset. I'm really looking forward to this game. I loved Daggerfall and Morrowind and spent hundreds of hours playing each.

There are a few issues I worry about though, like the lack of levitation, werewolves, and scaling items and monsters to match the level of the player. Ah well, there's always mods.

Cmon this is Bethesda, there hasn't been an Elder Scrolls game yet that has sucked.

rpg's in any form are a wast of time IMO. too many cheaters and what not in the computer games, you get killed and lose everything you have, worring about leveling up.

war games and FPS's are the way to go, again IMO. its all based on actual "skill" if you can call being good at a computer game a skill.


i am a huge fan of computer/video games but if you really want a gaming treat try minature war gamming. I play Flames of War(WWII) and Classic Battletech(which some of you might of heard of, and my uncle used to work for the company who made it) the ORGINAL game of armored combat. they are fun to play and are relativly inexpensive to get started in. though painting skills are a plus.

ill post pics of some of my stuff here in a diffrent thread if you wanna see it

Some people like oh I dunno a story and character development. Anyway the only RPGish about this one is that you have stats, it's much more of a Action/RPG then a true RPG. Of course if you got an attention span of a gnat then oh well, you're loss.

too many cheaters and what not in the computer games,

You're talking about MMORPG's right? Cheating in an RPG is just stupid.

you get killed and lose everything you have, worring about leveling up.

Uhh I'm not aware of any RPG that makes you lose every thing when you die. I play good RPGs not crappy ones.

With that said all War games are is a slightly more complex form of Rock Paper Scissors Last RTS I played was C&C:Generals and it still didn't stand up to Starcraft which was the last great RTS. Every RTS since then has just been a cheap imitation.

And FPS's get boring killing the same thing over and over again with little plot development. There are exceptions to this like Escape from Butchers Bay, F.E.A.R. and the Max Payne titles but that's about it. HL and HL2 blew chuncks, and CS is so full of cheaters theres no point in playing anymore.

You'll be able to do it easily with that setup. I'm jelous

As I mentioned in the Fallout 3 thread, my employers are likely going to buy Bethesda. Because of that, they've given me (official office dork) Elder scrolls IV and all expansions.

This game has occupied my life for the past month or so.

Fantastic game.

I'm not sure about the PC, but the 360 is getting a collection with all the downloadable content and expansion on it sometime this year. It will cost I think the same amount as it is now.
