Oblivion is now a true RPG.

[DraQ]

Especially with all the silliness caused by misapplied havoc.

 

[BSOD]

Oooh, so Bethesda might have actually done it on purpose as a revolt from the traditional NPC design!

When did I say they do it on purpose? I implied that they don't particularly care.

Unfortunately, the ape-like faces and postures, shitty body textures and sloppy skeloton animation weren't made on purpose. FO3 proves Bethsoft is incapable of producing something better.

Same as above. I could care less about plain-looking females in games, and that's the very least of Beth's problems.

Was irony directed at Beth. They did it because it was convenient to them, obviously.

 

[BSOD]

Gotcha.

There actually was one semi-good mod for Oblivion, which had something to do with archeologists or something.

It didn't have good NPCs.
It didn't have good voice acting.
It didn't have a good questline.

But the actual dungeons it added were well done, and, by killing off all music, relying entirely on ambient noises, and adding a new LOOK to dungeons that wasn't the same dark cave / aylid ruin / underground tower, it was actually interesting at, at times, dare I say it, semi-immersive.

What did you think the redeeming qualities were?

Sneaking up, and doing a critical hit with an arrow from the dark - which is fun for two hours, you must admit.

That is until you try Dark Messiah and experiment good first person melee/bow combat (as long as you don't kick everyone around).

That's like... 2 greatest rpgs of all times! And by greatest rpgs I mean overrated hack n slashes.

I'd have bought this game if you could play as a furry/scally.

What a fucking waste of a great song.

Indeed. The Dark Brotherhood quests were quite entertaining (and I'd like to stress the difference between entertaining and excellent. The TV show Scrubs can be entertaining, but I don't think it's a classic), and a few other quests were too. But Oblivion is a game that is rotten to its core.

 

[Krash]

Aaaah Viconia how I long for your pretty pixels! ::virgin::


Oh, and I'm very disappointed in those who dissed the song


And BG2 was awesome

 

[Luzur]

should have used Rammsteins new song instead.

 

[Carceri]

Should have used Rammstein's new clip instead.

 

[Krash]

Should have used Rammstein's new clip instead.

 

[LittleJoe]

Viconia was better left to the stake than suffer this rape.

 

[The Wizard]

Viconia [...] rape.

and suffer rape she did.
bg2 was so grimdarkgritmature.

 

[JarlFrank]

Should have used Rammstein's new clip instead.

Blitzkrieg mit dem Fleischgewehr!

 

[Liberal]

Tits...
Blue tits...
Blue tits in rusty armor....
Yes, an true RPG at last.

You're thinking of The Lost Spires, and I have to agree. I did think that the dungeons started to get as repetitive as Oblivion's after the third Spire, though.

[Melcar]

Is there a rape scene? Or at least an elf lesbian scene?

 

[SCO]

A released game lives by the fan-base it attracts.

Thus thief has lots of amazing focused gameplay mods and total conversions, and this has that.

I never quite got if it was true or not. The mind of Gaider is unfathomable. Actually it was nice not knowing for once. I like ambiguity in such a black+white + plus sharply edged grey game.
