Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

This game is the sole reason why I want the XBOX 360. Even then I still dont really care about the 360 because I have a PC thats more the willing to run this game.

All I need in my life is a room with a tv in it, a XBOX/PC and Oblivion and come get me when the earth is in danger.

I think that statement is the reason why the earth IS in danger.

This sounds awesome, that's the beatury of Elder Scrolls...

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

i've always loved the series from the Elder Scrolls. Whether it was Daggerfall or Morrowind. Here's to hoping this newest one is along the same vein.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Lets hope the 360 can do patches better.

Yes, Good Stuff. We know the graphics, the sound, the high level of customization will all be top notch, but I expect the dynamic nature/A.I. of the NPC's(and hopefully the monsters/villians as well) to be the component of the game that really shines and hopefully takes single player RPG's to a new level of immersion and interaction.

That's what got me. How the NPC's are treated just like the PC's. The woman feeding her dog the meat was hysterical. He got Attrib boost and went nuts! ....Then the dog annoyed her so she paralyzed him!

Now I know that games producers always hype their A.I. as revolutionary, but if this one lives up to 50% of the hype, then it should be genre changing.

Thinking about the possibility of this kind of autonomous A.I. for players/coaches in sports games is enough to almost make me pass out.
