Default No!!! TES: Oblivion is stealing me away from GW...

LOL, the topic says it all. The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is taking me away from GW. It's fun and so addicting. I'm not much of a fan of the previous Elder Scroll series but Oblivion is different from the others in terms of gameplay. Since I bought the game yesterday, I have not touched GW. Hopefully this friday's event can pull me back LOL.

You'll find the need for some multiplayer and come crawling back... they always do.

I too have been added to the mass of Oblivion. I got collector's edition yesterday. Great game. Go buy it.

But I'll come crawling back to Guild Wars. I know it.

I had a break from Guild Wars once, it was a long and fruitful rest. I had no worries, no stress, no need to get more 15k armors.... but then they announced Factions, and I said, "Just when I thought I was out...

they pulllll me back in!"

Got Oblivion yesterday, and had to order a new video card today. Didn't think my old 9600Pro would cut it, but wanted to see what it would do. It runs GW fine and even did a respectable job on F.E.A.R., but Oblivion? Forget it -- expect a lot of hardware to fly off the shelves in the days ahead.

It's very fluid: attack, block incoming attack, sidestep, fire magic, attack, etc., much improved over Morrowind.

I was on gamespot, and I watched a highlight reel of a guy playing oblivion. Apparently falling off bridges is a good way to get your acrobatic skill up.
I would love to get Oblivion, but first I need a 360, which is backed up fo'eva'!
