On that note, I think it is better that the monsters level up. You get more exp from fighting and you don't just instantly kill them after you reach like lvl 25. They also get better armor and weapons you can take, which is nice.Firefly22 said:
I don't care for RPGs either, which is why it is so weird that I love Oblivion. I much prefer FPSs which, again, is why it is so weird that I don't have such a passion for Fallout 3.Jannycats said:
Oblivions combat was awful and the crime system left lots to be desired.
If they somehow made oblivion use dark messiahs combat system then mybe, as Dark messiah had the best fps sword controls. Kicking someone off the top of a tower would be so much fun

I wouldn't exactly name it the best game ever now. I mean, the story line completely blew Fallout 3 because you can continue playing after it ends! But in most cases, there are alot more glitches in oblivion's gameplay, they had a good grasp on combat, but it doesn't satisfy me more than Fallout 3's FPS/TPS/VATS combat system.
But I will say oblivion's landscape was constructed a bit more than fallout 3's You can literally go anywhere in the wild except the outlined borders of the different nations/countries/whatever the hell the elder scrolls calls them. In Fallout 3, I was stopped numerous times just walking around the wasteland by an invisible wall, and it tended to get very...annoying.

Its the best game I have played to date but since ive done everything in the game thats worth doing i dont need to replay it
by the way, the next big actor to voice over for bethesda-Morgan Freeman, but then again, you can't go higher after Morgan Freeman

I was unfortunately cursed to never play the game. here is my sad story. a friend first lent it to me, when i put in my xbox the xbox tipped over instantly destroying the game. i then bought it used i had to return it twice because both copies were broken, after i acquired gamefly i was stricken again when i ordered the game and it would play past the part where you escape. it is a sad story to which i have given up every playing that game.
Oh... you're one of THOSE guys... the ones who post comments about how no console nowadays could top the Commodore 64 and stuff like that.vdgmprgrmr said:
ROGUE looks absolutely terrible by the way. (By today's standards anyways, but that's just it isn't it? Todays standards.) Time to move on friend.
Yeah, Oblivion is really the best. It proves that it is really Gameplay over graphics, even in this age of super HD bloom effects. The character models were robotic, and the setting is hacknyed, But the game gave us so much freedom and choice, that it was simply awesome.
They even have this cool mod for it called Fallout 3, but it's really buggy, Its probably still in Beta.

I really liked Oblivion. At first.
Reasons I stopped playing Oblivion and will never go back:
1) Voice Acting. There was one good voice actor in the entire game (The King), and he gets killed. In the first 5 minutes. Every old beggar's voice get's normal once you start actually talking to them.
2) Alchemy. Buy one store out of ingredients, make potions, sell potions. Go to next store. You earn money, and level alchemy, and at no risk.
3) 100% Chameleon. I'm permanently invisible. 1000 sneak attacks later, the Minotaur Lord is dead, and my Bare Hand skill is up a bit.
4) The best loot in the game comes from Oblivion Gates (The best portal gems give better enchantments than you can make yourself).
5) 100% Chameleon. Yes I'm repeating myself. But it's that broken. I can go anywhere, steal everything, and kill anyone, and not have to worry, because nobody can see me. Forget Martin, I could have killed Dagon, just by hitting him enough times.
6) 100 years after the king died, Martin's still young, I haven't aged either, Oblivion portals are still popping up, and nothing has changed. Except I now have a complete set of Glass and Oblivion armor with every possible Oblivion Stone enchantment.

I liked Fallout 3 better then Oblivion. I hated Oblivion's leveling system because it made it so none of your choices actually mattered. It wasn't that you could be anything, it was that you could be EVERYTHING. I have a friend who started a stealth character, then once his stealth skills were high, he focused on magic, then turned into a barbarian, then an archer. Eventually he had everything from armorer to alchemy at a high skill level and he was a god among men. For some people that might seem great, but to me, it seems like you have so much power over your character and what they do that none of the choices you make about them matter because they can be immediately fixed by doing something else and in that light, nothing you do has any weight in the world at all.
Another problem I had with Oblivion was the dungeon crawling. In Fallout 3, not all of the assorted office buildings are large or varied, but the ones that are have had a lot of time and energy put into their design. In Oblivion, all the ruins and forts were essentially the same, just with different monsters and slightly different loot.

Ah Oblivion, wooden Characters, No Writing, your actions are meaningless, repetitive country scenery, low number of voice actors, no real story of merit...
Yeah... hardly best game ever. Definitely fun, but not best game ever.

To be honest I disliked it. The immersion wasn't good and the NPCs especially ruined it. Also I thought the combat was finicky at best and a hurdle to overcome at worst. Finally I thought it took to long to level up. From what I've seen (but not yet played) I think that I'll prefer Fallout 3.
I would've said Fable 2 if I meant Fable 2. I'm sorry not everybody has the same opinion as you.Pyronox said:
Just because there's not a post-game it's worse? What a dumb statement.
This is the kind of comment that leads me to believe that most people who bash Fable 2 haven't actually played it. There are a ton of ways to make money in the game, and you don't HAVE to use any one of them.ZacQuickSilver said:
