Just a quick heads-up before this turns into a flamewar and I lock it. There's no need to be calling people out as "fan-boys" on a Guild Wars forum.

Wouldn't hurt to try a spell checker, either. Just an FYI.

Well considering they are totally different styles of game I'm sure there is no conflict in owning both Guild wars and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

someone tell me what oblivion is? i thought it was a thread about the theme park ride in alton towers

holl0wtipped · Jul 14, 2005, 02:57 PM // 14:57

go to www.elderscrolls.com it is a MASSIVE roleplaying game. Not online mind you. But amazing none the less. Id recommend getting it when its released. Currently in production for Xbox 360 and the PC. Graphics are amazing. check out the website

ROFL me too!

I had to google 'pc game oblivion' to work out what it was -Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

Oblivion is a SINGLE player RPG, very immersive in that almost every single object from forks to people is 100% interactiveable. You can kill literally every NPC in the game, steal from people houses, it's amazing. But like Shamblemonkee said, they are two completely different games, therefore one can't really surpass the other.

I thought it was a thread about a weapon on a Text MUD I play!

Ha ill be sure to be more specific. Everyone check out the site metioned above. Amazing game. 100% interactive. And HUGE simply huge. And no you cant kill Everyone. Some NPC's are used for the main quest. otherwise u can kill everyone

Wonder if its going to be as buggy as every other Elder Scrolls game has been on the PC. Nothing like playing for 3 hours, logging out, then finding out you can't log into your saved game again...

holl0wtipped · Jul 14, 2005, 03:06 PM // 15:06

Personally I didnt have any problem withit. But im sure devs have solved that problem

For sure I will, I spent so many hours on morrowind (and that was jus becoming master of each guild), The one problem i had was all the loading times. the elderscrolls games always have so much material its amazing. They keep you busy for a LONG time.

Arena hooked me

YES I WILL GET IT

Quoted for truth.

i never have problems wit my games. me have custom desgined comp with dual processors. expensive but a beast. even killin those Area 51 comps. BOW TA ME. a kick ass time for me was when i hooked up elder scrolls to my plasma screen 65 inches *I WON IT IN A CONTEST*

sixdartbart · Jul 14, 2005, 03:25 PM // 15:25

I'm sure that this game like Morrowind will have high system reqs. which I know can be tough for those without top of the line machines but you should really get Oblivion for PC. I saw the Xbox version of Morrowind and it really loses alot as far as what you can do and it is much easier to control on the PC. To everyone that likes Guild Wars enough to be looking around on this fan site, Buy Oblivion you will love it. 'end of my 2 cents'

Shamblemonkee · Jul 14, 2005, 03:26 PM // 15:26

I wanted to like Elder Scrolls, but i just couldn't.

I found combat clunky and the world too open. :-o Now I do like sandbox games, GTA, Black & White, Sims, etc - but ES lacked that vital direction that's needed even in an essentially open game. I always ended up getting lost and then bored.

The only memorable events for me were a time i was wandering along (totally lost) when suddenly a faint sound started, a sound like "oooo" this gradually changed to a OOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAH *splat*.

A magician had fallen out of the sky and landed next to me, that was great, especially the chat I had with him. I then went on my way deeper into some forest whereupon I found a cave - ooh i thought there's bound to be something more dangerous than a poisonous frog in here! And yes there was. There was a ghost which was immune to my weapon. I died. Quickly.

The only other memories I have are of stealing everything I could from town, being caught, stabbing the nearest person, usually followed by running away from some guards.

So i didn't get on with it very well. However a friend of mine loved it and spent months immersed in game amassing a truly huge horde of loot in a cave, oining guilds, building a castle etc etc - so i can apreciate that for some it was a truly great game.

holl0wtipped · Jul 14, 2005, 03:26 PM // 15:26

Be sure to spread it. All the Guild Wars players who truly enjoy the game will love oblivion. I think this time you can acutally buy real estate instead of killin the owner and moving in. also i think u can own shops.

Pevil Lahuta's Pet Moa · Jul 14, 2005, 03:28 PM // 15:28

Black and White was the s**t (pardon my french). I had my Evil Cow with horns and firey eyes but he was still so loveable. Im glad to hear they are making a Black and White 2 for pc, and another black and white game fro xbox

Shamblemonkee · Jul 14, 2005, 03:31 PM // 15:31

I'm keeping an eye on it, it looks graphically fantastic that's for sure. If the devlopers can pull of their aims of a neater combat system, more directon at the start and the amazing sounding people interaction system - where they live around you on top of the stuff we already expect I'll be sure to give it a look.

I like GW because it's pretty much pick and and play - I found a game like ES required at least an hour to get anything done.

Added: Yup I really liked Black and White. I had an evil wolf (I just couldn't be good no matter how hard i tried). I also ran a modification site for it for a while. Nothing quite beat flicking villagers over mountains, rolling boulders through their villages or teaching your creature Meganuke.
