Title: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Post by: Dog Donovan on March 17, 2009, 03:27:07 AM: Well, me and Betrayal both play it, and I suspect a few others too. Just for discussion about it.

Post by: Dog Donovan on March 17, 2009, 11:52:08 AM: Lessee... I got about 600 hours worth and I'm not even close to really stop playing it. Oblivion is... a vice.

The Debaser, Argarmir's little blade, is unique in appearance and power for some reason. It has the reach and speed of a short sword but has the weight of a long sword (based on level I would think). Its an oddity that always got to me; and it looks pretty cool too.

Another odd weapon would be the Truncheon of Submission: It damages their fatigue massively, but it heals them far more than it damages.

It really is a pain to choose which weapon I like better: The Sword of the Crusader (Knights of the Nine), Dawnfang/Duskfang (Shivering Isles), or Umbra (Oblivion). If I'm blunt it's the Mace of the Crusader without argument... And if it's marksman I have to make my own bow otherwise suffer pain trying to find a good one in game.

Title: Re: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Post by: Dog Donovan on March 17, 2009, 01:00:34 PM: Both, actually. Worth every penny in my opinion. If you got Xbox live, its as simple as downloading them. Or you can get the Game of the Year addition of Oblivion which comes with both packs, or Shivering Isles which comes with just Shivering Isles.

Post by: ST-84 Sahelanthropus on March 17, 2009, 01:19:36 PM: I have Oblivion on PC, so lucky I don't need to pay for that LIVE stuff just to get a patch or expansion.

Though I can't find a website to get them, I search Shivering Isles Expansion, but all I get is unofficial modsand patches for the expansions.

Post by: Dog Donovan on March 17, 2009, 01:38:45 PM: Mmmm, I had I site to suggest to you, but its illegal, so no go there...

Might just try Ebay or Amazon or Gamestop for the PC GotY edition?

Post by: ST-84 Sahelanthropus on March 17, 2009, 01:42:49 PM: I trust GameStop better than the websites for a copy of the game itself, so I'll go there, maybe today, and see if they have them in stock.

Post by: Dog Donovan on March 17, 2009, 01:43:58 PM: Hmmm... Well I got mine for $40 at Gamecrazy. But my Gamecrazy store was also small and didn't have the computer one.

Post by: Somebody on March 17, 2009, 09:13:00 PM: I owned TES4 and its two expansions n both the xbox and the PC. One of my favorite games ever, the personal roleplayability of it is top notch, particularly on the PC when you can actually download things to enhance your roleplaying.

Post by: Dog Donovan on March 17, 2009, 11:43:03 PM: I have to say: There were a LOT of impressive looking mods for the PC version. I saw one guy with a custom mod that lessened the quality of models and made a huge army to fight. And there are only two games where I feel more "in tune" with the character I'm playing: Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
