Oblivion is AWEsome

A few days ago I was bashing Oblivion because I played it on the PC a few years back when it came out and didn't really think it was all that great but... since that time I've gotten into Roleplaying and I just picked up a copy of Oblivion game of the year edition for the PS3 and omg this game is awesome

I wholeheartedly disagree; it is one of the most broken role-playing games I have ever played.

Many great RPGs, such as The Witcher, were rough around the edges but veritable jewels at the center.  Oblivion, however, is rather smooth around the edges, but it is, at its core, a bad RPG.

this thread makes no sense.

You played it before and you thought it was lame and now you pick it up again and all the sudden its great?

Yup, oblivion is pretty good, I play it here and there and it isn't that bad....but..Try picking up morrowind.verbalfilth

Morrowind was released in 2002 and is a PC/XBOX game. Pretty much any PC can run it, so get it for PC(plus, there is also a massive mod community for Morrowind) and Morrowind GOTY is relatively cheap (check a bargain-bin)

Fallout 3 is on PS3/360/PC and make sure you play it as well

There's nothing ''roleplaying'' about Oblivion.RK-Mara

You know whats wierd, Fallout 3 was a damn fine game imo, and i was very sceptical about it considering i thought Oblivion is one of the worst RPGs/games ive ever played in my life, absolutely dire.

Each to there own.

hated it. generic fantasy setting, horrible combat, dungeons were pretty much the same everywhere, and the animations are the worst I've seen in years (ditto on this point with Fallout).Hewkii

[QUOTE="Hitsuguya"][QUOTE="rr2Real"] so what about it? i could have just posted "a" in a private forum over and over rr2Real

Yeah, but the game won't acknowledge the fact that you are a raging deviant barbarian, because it simply does not support actual role-playing. Any role-playing is purely up to the imagination of the player...and that's one of the many reasons why Oblivion is a terrible RPG.

The game itself isn't too bad, I guess, but that's about all I can say about it. The only amusement I got out of it was purely unintentional (for example, laughing at the awful AI/physics/dialogue/etc.).

go to www.tesnexus.com and browse for some awesome mods. The modding community is why OB and MW are so popular.

Also, fallout 3 modding has begun, go to www.fallout3nexus.com

The character roleplaying was about as shallow as it could get, but Oblivion was a pretty sweet action RPG. They made up for it a lot in Shivering Isles, but it was still pretty shallow.

I think Bethesda dumbed it down too much, but I have higher hopes for the next Elder Scrolls; because it seems like they learned a lot making Fallout 3 trying to get the best of both worlds.
