I'm getting it. I have high hopes for this game, hopefully it's good.

I loved Morrowind but for some reason couldn't get into Oblivion.

reply to Nuckfuts
this game is looking very promising i can't wait

I am hopeful that it will be good, but I do not know if it will get GotY as the competition this year is fairly stiff.

My thoughts:

Drooooool

I put around 100 hours into Oblivion on the 360, it's the only game I ever scored 1000/1000 on. Getting it for PC this time around, can't wait.

I preordered Skyrim and it is my favorite for GOTY all though its gonna be tough because theres so many amazing console games still to come.

reply to Nuckfuts
GOTY is going to be tough, but its definitely a contender....I'd be surprised if anyone has anything negative to say up to this point, as everything thats been released looks pretty fuckin boss.

reply to Nuckfuts
The only thing that minorly concerns me....the graphics are a step above, but they really changed the user interface. I am hoping it will be positive.

The change that REALLY worries me...I put about 200 hrs into Oblivion. I cant imagine how many different types of quests they can think of....especially for the the guilds. I am just hoping it doesnt get repetitive.

The achievements/trophies and the user manual have been "leaked" to the public if anyone is interested. Bethesda seems to have gone with the Fallout formula for the cheevos.

This month's PC Gamer had a hands on preview of the game. They are raving about it. The reviewer just sort of wandered around a mountain killing everything that moved and had a blast. Until he ran into some vampires......

Vampires are back in, eh? I wonder if Bethesda will also allow lycanthropy (werewolves) like they did with Morrowind...

Honestly, the best times I had in Oblivion were just running around and finding random dungeons...hoping for better loot, etc...wondering if the shit in there would pwn meh (wasn't aware of the scaling at that time)...but anyway...sounds like what this dude was doing, and I'm glad to hear it. That shit was fun.

I never made it past the first town in Morrowind (the "I swing and hit, but didn't really because my skill isn't high enough" system really irked me for a vidja game), so I was not able to experience werewolves, which is why I am hoping for their inclusion in Skyrim.

I loved Oblivion. It was one of the first 360 games I played. Despite the fact that enemies levelled with you, it was the most immersive thing I'd played up to that point. I recently picked it up on Steam as well, figured I could play the mods when the new release schedule slows down a bit.

With the way the end of this and beginning of the next is shaping up...you'll get to those Obliv mods sometime around 2013...if they don't make anymore cool shit.
