    Re: Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Impressions Thread

    This is the first RPG I have played outside of the final fantasy games and I must say I am in awe of this game. I mean the world is just so big.

    After I got out of the dungeon it took me almost an hour to get to imperial city. After I got there I stoled a horse and was riding when I encountered a fight between an imperial guardsmen and a goblin so I said what the heck I'll go help out so after we got done killing the goblin I got back on my stolen horse. Until the ungrateful guardsmen procceded to throw me in jail for the stolen horse.

    Man this game is sweet.

      how the hell do you arm your weapon. I just started and the king and his detail have kicked me to the curb. i can get the sword off one of the guys but I can't arm it. I see some big assed rats that I need to take out.

          I can't imagine any game besting Oblivion for Game of the Year. GRAW and now Oblivion. The 360 just became my favorite console ever.

            I can't believe I about to say this but, Oblivion maybe the best non sports game ever made. I can't believe how good it is.

              Definitely agree. After playing for about 3 hours I gotta say I'm gonna lose a lot of sleep playing this game.

                Got in late last night..tried to play for a while but I couldn't stay awake.

                The one impression I have is the intro scene where the camera slowly pans around the first castle. You can see the horizon for miles, and it gave me a chill knowing that I can walk to all those little houses in the distance...fight through all the forests on the hillside. I can't wait to dive into this game.

                          I have some questions. Do enemy's walk through the forest minding there own business or does it feel they are there just to fight you. Also can you hide from the enemy if he doesn't see you and just wait for it to pass.

                            1) From my experience No, that's why they're enemies and they tend to surface during the night similar to Zelda Ocrina of Time. I believe this isn't as much of a problem during the day unless if your walking in no man's land then you best be ready to get it on. NPC's do mind their own business. Also if you approach any NPC with your weapons drawn they will either flee or fight you.

                            2) Yes you can hide "stealth" from your enemies. In fact the more you hide from your enemies the better your stealth becomes. You also have the ablility once you aquire it to turn invisible foe 30 seconds during a 1 day period. I'll have to check my items letter today and see if that's right.

                                seriously, i'm like 8 hours in and i haven't done that much of the main quest (I wanted to get stronger)....I've been doing Thief Guild stuff and side quests (some are pretty long and immersive). Stellar game!
