I'd recommend it.

I joined the Dark Brotherhood last night, didn't meet with them til today. And did my first couple contracts. Doing these quests are worth the price of the game, not to mention everything else you can do. I can't wait til I join the Thieves Guild. I bet those quests are alot of fun to.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

so, how big is the difference between the PC and 360 versions? i'm leaning towards getting it for the PC, but any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

If your PC can hack it out I'd get it for that because there will be good mods.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

The only real negative I see with this game is the TIME you need to play it.

I haven't played an RPG for years...normally only play sports.

Sports ideally suit the "got home from work, the mrs is reading a book/ watching a dvd...i'm gonna play a game for an hour" type lifestyle.

This game seems to really need the "i'm going to play this for 8 hours" and do nothing else type lifestyle.

At the moment, i'm doing my best to get 3 hours or so in a day...and yeah, that includes ringing in sick at work. I had other stuff to do anyway

Long term though, I don't know how I'm going to find the time to play this baby as it requires a hell of a lot of time. The longer I play, the more it hooks me...

An hour here or there just doesn't do it justice.

Side note: I wish the conversation / questions were more open. I was looking for the graveyard for one quest...i wish you could just ask "where's the graveyard?" instead of the same questions repeatedly...

Can you get this game for regular XBOX or just 360, and is it as good? Obviously not graphics wise but you know what I mean I hope??

Something crazy just happened to me. I was on my way back to the priory with Martin and I saw rock that was lit up at night. So I went up to it and it asked me if I wanted to pray for its powers or whatever and I said yes. I then switched to see What happened to me and I was wearing a demonic looking helmet called bound. It had a block of 4 and I couldn't take it off. I then killed a crab and came back and I was back to normal

I agree. This is the area of the game that could use the most improvement. Bethesda needs to revamp the dialogue/speechcraft system for their next game. They should copy Bioware and make it similar to Baldur's Gate/KOTOR/Jade Empire/Fallout. The way you raise speechcraft and disposition in this game is silly.

How do you find out how many gold you have?

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

Can someone point me in the direction of a store that sells lock picks?

I have flat run out and cannot open a lot of the treasure I am finding.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

lol imagine go'n to a store to buy a lockpick lol


go around and pickpocket people, they might have some... but more than likely, you can find them on deceased goblins.
