Oblivion ... The Dark Side

[muckshifter]

Been playing all day ... no crashes, no freezing ... I've only been killed a few 'undread times.




To hell with closing the gates ... I've become an assassin. KILL KILL KILL!

Now I can't leave it alone ............




* oh, the dark side is fun *

Still not quite as fun as art of magic in my opinion. but the again you have a working copy and i dont

 

[Alf]

so im assuming your got it to work Mucks?

Well it works for now ... I did get really annoyed and uninstalled it, ready to sell too, but I tried again.

Nothing has changed, it still does not know what graphics card I have but tells me I have a 7600GT, which is correct. Sad aye.

But yesterday I played for most of the day with no bother, no crashes, no freezing and quite enjoyed myself.


I take three steps foreword and do a 'quick save' ... may take some time to complete this game.

your making me wanna get it now mucks!


So what are the main problems everyones getting, and is there a patch to stop it?

I dont want to buy it and not be able to play it.

If there are any patches, I've missed them, non I can see ... It's a PC "game" what do you expect?

Actually, there are a lot of reports that the thing even crashes on the XBox.

 

[Alf]

There are a few patches that help.
on bit-tech.net go to the Oblivion review, page 3, last paragraph. they have some LOD fixtures that help with view distance so instead of seeing a big blurry landscape blob, it will be replaced by a high def version
i have yet to get it, but there is almost no frame rate hit at all

 

[Alf]

Ooh, while your at it, might as well grab the other one as well

 

[muckshifter]

Thanks for that Alf ... still no 'problems' and I'm closing gates as fast as they open.

Oh, there is one ... if I quite without going to the main menu first, I get an MS error that this program did not close properly and to send off a report to MS ... but that's all so far.


Getting pretty good at staying alive too.

 

[Alf]

First time i have heard of that
does anyone know of a mod or something that requires you character to eat and drink in order to be in top condition?

 

[Alf]

I dont think i had a problem stayin alive, unless i chose a weaker race... and was foolhardy... and wore broken armor...and was cursed.

 

[muckshifter]

Hey! ... it's bad enough staying alive without having to eat, drink & sleep.

My favorite saying is ... "bollocks, should have saved before I did that".

I'm getting a little confused with all these "side quests" that I'm just trying to follow the main plot for now, I'll go back and do some later.

 

[Alf]

hey mucks, do you mind if i use your comments and such as a reference for a report im doing on Oblvion?

Bin down that road millions of times in the retro 80`s before yuppie memory cards

Sure you can ... just put a copyrite notice at the end.

 

[Alf]

Hey Mucks, can you give me a review of the combat system?

 

[muckshifter]

you is asking the wrong 'fighter' ... hehehe

Hey Mucks, can you give me a review of the combat system?

Sure, buy 15 spare mice (or maybe 50) ... 'cos you gonna frag the living daylights out of the mouse you got.

I have a dent in my desk where the mouse is, from continually 'clicking' the left button ... occasionally I remember to block something with the other button.

I'm an expert at sneak though ... I can get right next to some munsters and whack the crap out of them ... amazing how far across the room they go.
