The unbelievable hype surrounding the Elder Scrolls 4 : Oblivion, was hard to believe. Stories of players getting lost in Tamriel, claims of 100+ hours of gameplay, gorgeous visuals - you get the picture. Owing to a number of reasons ( including 1>the fact that it would make my 6600GT seem like junk, and 2>I have a real life I'm quite content with), I stayed away from it all this time, until, at last, I could bear the temptation no longer.
              I'm hooked. There's no other word for it. I've never had the patience to play an RPG, (Inventory management, shoddy combat, stupid AI....Bleh) but Oblivion has changed all that. Despite the fact that I'm running it at 800X600 at medium settings (at 100% view fade, with distant lands off), it still feels incredible.
I'd like to write more, but I've better things to do. Like closing magical portals.
See you in a hundred game hours.
