What's your charachter going to be like? I'll probably pick an imperial or a nord and specialize in combat.

I've never played an Elder Scrolls game before, so I don't know the specific races. But I will most likely make some kind of heavy hitter.

I have finished Oblivion 3 times. An advise for the newcomers. Read the manual carefully so as to determine the exact character that fits you. And make him/her specified in a few things, not mediocre in many.

Knights of the Nine is centered around a faction of the same name whose primary goal is to search and locate "Crusaders' Relics" which can be worn by the player. Membership in this faction is not automatic; first one must go on a pilgrimage across Cyrodiil to visit the shrines dedicated to the Nine Divines. Also when someone is a member of this faction, they must stay on the path of good at all times. The player cannot commit any crimes or do anything inherently evil or they must re-do the entire pilgrimage. This new faction also includes new characters, enemies and locations, one of these being the ancestral home of the Knights of the Nine which is in a state of decline. As the player completes quests for the Knights of the Nine, more people will hear of your heroic deeds, and will want to join you. These new recruits will then help you on your quests and eventually rebuild the Knights base.

I dont understand all the people are going to shell out money to purchase this game on the Ps3 at $60 bucks.. when probably every one of you have a PC that's semi capable of playing it, and the PC version is alot cheaper in price....

I have been thinking a lot about what game will i buy for the PS3 (yes i live in europe...), and Obllivion should be just fine (i think). I have Oblivion for some time for PC but i havent finished it yet, besides, i havent played Knights of the Nine. My PC isnt exactly "the bomb"(*) for these over the edge games, and so i cant play the game with the video settings at maximun. Thats why ive been thinking about this, with the PS3 i would enjoy every bit of the game without lousy framerats and textures that should be cleaner.

I'm going for a Breton mage, completely magic. I'm going to try to incorporate as little combat or stealth as possible. Hopefully I can get my copy tomorrow, EB games called two hours ago about my preorder.

I have found that a character with skils of combat, magic, and stealth works the best. If anyone wants help starting a well-rounded character here is a Dark Elf, sign of the Mage, and custom class Silencer. Silencer skills are Blade, heavy Armor, Alchemy, Dectruction, Conjuration, Alteration, and Sneak.

If anyone is going to be a spellcaster here i something you might want to be careful about. The Mage sign gives the player a permanent an extra 50 Magick points, but the Apprentice sign give the player an extra permanent 100 magica points. The Apprentice sign also give a 100% weakness to magica. If you pick the Aprentice, be a Breton as they have a 50% resistance to magica, so it cuts the weakness in half.

Also you could pick the Atronach but I really don't reccommend that as that sign keeps your character from regenerating magica

Can't go wrong with a stealth-based character that can do some magic....I can't wait till this week is over, my spring break is next week so I'll have plenty of time to play Oblivion. I've been waiting for two years to play this game!!! (Can you tell I'm excited?)

Oblivion is one of the most demanding PC games out there so very few people have a capable system that can run it at the same quality as it can run on PS3 and Xbox 360.

The really cool thing about Oblivion (and some other RPG's) is to create your own Class. So the first time I've beaten the game I made a Black Elf "Vampier Night" the second I made a Redgaurd "Conan's Son" and the third a Wood Elf "Leaf walker".
