Video Games/Gaming/etc.

I really tried as well, read some of the in game books, built my character, did quests etc. I think I got to the Blade headquarters up in the mountains when I stopped playing.
The wilderness feels so lifeless and small, and up until where I played the story was a bit weak. Does it pick up or something? I want to know because I don't want to just give up on the game completely.

It picks up as long as you stay on the main storyline. Oblivion isn't for everyone...if especially if you really like Japanese storytelling, this probably won't be your cup of tea. The Elder Scrolls have always been a sandbox rpg, less about story, and more about exploring and what you want to do with your character.

*screams* My boyfriend totally surprised me today by buying me a PlayStation 3 machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And one of the games in the bundle he got was the one PS3 game I most wanted Ratchet And Clank : Tools Of Destruction.

Looked at it tonight, and I could not BELIEVE the quality of the graphics. Me and my bf were open-mouthed when we saw the game start, at the clarity of the picture.

My boyfriend is great! :D

I've finally gotten the hang of Oblivion, and I'm pretty sure it's gonna take me a loooooooong time to finish it, especially since I really enjoy exploring the different maps. :sweat:

Maybe you should find yourself a generous boyfriend too. :hehe:

Dang...he must have a better job than I do.... :sweat: If I had the money, I'd get a PS3 for a girlfriend...except none of the girlfriends I've had actually played video games. It is the gift that keeps on giving though...for $60 a game :beaten:

Thanks! I am loving it so far. My bf has discovered he loves the MotorStorm game that came in the bundle, so he is getting some benefit of the machine. :D

Hey AD, no sign of those demo discs yet?

@ Topic - what's this Elder Scrolls thing? There a game of that title or similar for PS3, and I read that it's brilliant.

Ohhh! I was starting to worry they might have gone astray...*thinks* You do have trustworthy workmates, don't you? :twisted:

Yeah... i'm expecting your package to be on my desk when I get back... I actually rang the office just now, and I asked the receptionist... noting on my desk yet.

Argh. I hope it arrives soon. :sweat:

Yup! But it's not like a logical RPG with logical quests in order. It's basically this entire world and you can go about at a whim. Kit-kun described it perfectly in a previous post. You basically make a character, and you can either do the quests (mostly gotten through interactions with other people in the world), or you can explore, or you can battle, or whatever.

It's really thorough. You really feel like your part of the game because you get to decide what to do. I explore AND do the quests. :victory:

Cheers! I think I'm going to go and have a look at the link Kitakaze put a few pages back.
Your write-up makes it sound wonderful. :victory:
I love games where there's loads of environment to explore, and it really sounds like Elder Scrolls has that.
If I think it might be doable for me, I might ask for it for my birthday (early April -yay!) :hehe:

Speaking of that, have you seen your first Oblivion gate yet? Oh, and talk about the books in the game, there's like 5,000+ pages of text if you want to read them all giving the background of the Elder Scrolls.

Keps, it's an awesome game...you can always rent it to try it out first. IF you're used to linear RPGs it may take some adjustment.
