I'd like to get a shinier one ehre too :P.

Thanks, adal8or.

Thanks.

I have an Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT, upgrading it to 182.50 forceware

Is updating graphics drivers simple as clicking teh installation wizard and hoping it works?

Scared of mai PC, Adal8or.

I much prefer Medieval and Rome but not because of 'bugs'.(What bugs? I don't get any :lol:)

I find Empire boring because of the lack of those awesome tactics which would devastate an enemy army with little casualties to yours. Also not having the option to upgrade all my buildings by double clicking on the region capital annoys me. This is probably part of the reason I find the campaign map so hard and confusing all of a sudden, it feels like twice the effort to pull together an army to take an enemy settlement. Likely just me though as I prefer the Medieval and Ancient era settings.

RAWRR

Bethesda look to be making a TES 5 since they copyrighted Skyrim. (region in the elder scrolls)

PC gaming is far from dead in my opinion.

Wow daytona, amazing guide.

Hmm, well my connection was offline for 2 days but it got fixed, it was something to do with settings...

Thanks, adal8or.

Thanks guys

Its one full 1024mb stick. Is it possible for viruses to disable your internet connection or fiddle around with settings so you don't connect properly?

Yesterday I played a few games and noticed they were all stuttering. Eventually the games locked up my whole computer and I couldn't bring up task manager or minimize. These were mostly games I knew my PC could handle fine and usually didn't have so much as a millisecond of lagg. Could this be a virus?

My PC is about 2 or 3 years old now and only has 1GB of RAM. Could overheating be the problem?#

Thanks, adal8or.

Oblivion is not beautiful.

Everything is repeated, its all the same.

The graphics may look good but look at detail, where is the care and attention to every little nook and cranny.

Morrowind had detail and i think it did good for its time.

I really do get bored of oblivion at early levels, i dont know how some stay on it to become level 40 warriors with the most powerful armour with the most powerful enchantments and the coolest weapon, i've always wanted to do this but oblivion is just too boring.

Morrowind: There are only a few, A FEW ,sets of glass armour and about 2(yes 2 whole sets) in the WHOLE game.

Oblivion: Level 20 maybe everybody and their dog have a full set of daedric or glass armour.

I Got a redguard warrior to level 12, finished main quest, did a bit of fighters guild and became grand champion of the arena all with MMM on and got bored..

Got a high elf mage to around level 2 after getting into arcane university and doing a few mages guild and did a few arena quests and got bored

Tried a wood elf stealth guy, got to around level 4 after getting to gray fox thieves guild missions, doing so many dark brotherhood missions and raiding some houses with OOO on.

The game doesnt have enough content, i loved thieving and assasinating at first but it came to the point where i could probably raid a whole city overnight, taking all valuables and assasinating all the citizens.

Thievery could have gone where you could douse lights and stuff and distracted guards and always have a new challenge but it didnt.

We must all accept:

1.PC is teh rulzorz, it came before xbox or playstation or nintendo.(i think so anyway)(didnt come before commodore, but thats a different matter)Anyways most games on PC seem to be a lot cheaper.

2.Morrowind rules over Oblivion - Face it, graphics dont matter, they are the epic fail of the millenium, its the gameplay that matters, we play RPG to create our medieval-fantasy selves in a virtual world where we can claim to be anything we like and can do whatever we want with nothing to stop us. Morrowind would make you take hours to get from one end of the mainland to the other, oblivion is a case of a quick blunder through a non exsisting forest to reach Bruma from Leyawin(a small bit of exageration there). In morrowind you would discover amazing swamps and soon to follow; the amazing red mountain with the mysterious gates and ash thingies. In Morrowind it feels dangerous to run across miles of amazing terrain, you could encounter and type and level of enemy while running from one place to another; in Oblivion i feel like i'm on a quick stroll to a land of pshycic guards.

The only things i feel are better in oblivion are the compass marker pointing you to objectives, its not as scary(not really a plus though)and the bow system + combat system, but i sort of let morrowind off for that since its more of a classical game and now a days i get sick and tired of the grindy mmorpg's which require no skill whatsoever.

Oblivion is the Typical let down sequel but you just must play it for some reason

I hope TES5 promises All the same features as Morrowind just with a different storyline, map(hope its as big or bigger though, with lots of detail), graphical engine and some more features.
