Modus Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm really late on the boat, but I finally got the game and have been modding the oblivion out of it. I consider these essential mods: Enhanced Shaders WITH Darker Nights (addsmuch more drama and immersion) Vurt's Flora Overhaul Realistic Water Textures Enhanced Night Sky Cutthroat Merchants (Makes items sell for much less and cost much more. Choose between 5 levels of increased difficulty) And damn this game looks good on my not-so-impressive pc... (anyone else pick wood elf?)

Nah, I'm so cool that I made a Khajiit who looks like and is named after my cat. I just thought it'd be funny to slay innocents with a bow and arrow as my cat, and as it turned out, it was indeed pretty funny. Bonus points for the ironic werewolf blood I acquired early on. Anyone else finding that the game is really, really, really, ridiculously easy? I've been on master since I started, and umm... yeah, have not really had any difficulties after 40+ hours of play.

I'm also on Master and as long as I have a companion, it's manageable. I look for mods like Cutthroat Merchants to up the challenge. A certain mod makes vampires instantly explode upon sunlight exposure, but that seems a bit much.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollgagh Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 according to the imgur gallery comments, it's from the new Fright Night I've not seen it so I cannot attest to the veracity of that claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garpocalypse Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeLT-kKkVZI This is such a great remix of Skyrim uhhhh music, I guess. I really hope whoever did this submits it. The creator of this shouldn't be starving the world of his/her, probably his, talent any longer...

Modus Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 So.. I've logged in 19 hours of gameplay. Zero FPS issues on high settings. Zero crashes. One glitch ever. I've also got a boatload of mods installed and newfound love for Futura as a font. I'm never bored. Archery is super satisfying. The only complaint I could possibly make is the mediocre companion AI.

GOTY if you read the article after 60 hours of gameplay which you clearly did not this may take a turn for the worst. even on your computer.

Gollgagh Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 The article was specifically talking about the PS3 version though. :\ I've logged like 120 hours on my PC and have not yet met with any game crippling bugs like that. also what if he wasn't even talking about that article?

Moomba Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm up to around 70 hours and despite having come across loads of random glitches (most of them hilarious - I managed to launch an NPC several miles using a door) the only crippling bug I've come across involved saving during the final boss battle completely screweing everything up. The only fix was reloading an earlier save. Oh... and an "essential" NPC that turned inexplicably hostile and refused to stop attacking me until I modified him with the console, killed him and revived him... I have no idea how that happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW ON EARTH do so many people like a game that was is so clearly buggy and glitchy it should not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW ON EARTH do so many people like a game that was is so clearly buggy and glitchy it should not work Because the game does enough right that people let things like that slide as minor annoyances, or even a direct source of entertainment.

NegimaSonic Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 To put it simply, big games get forgiveness because they have so much content that it is expected to have holes and they're generally not game breaking. And it is incredibly hard to account for all the actions such freedom can have on a game. It happens with GTA too. Small games don't get forgiven because they have less to work on [with some exceptions].

I don't believe this to be true for one second you can have crap big games just as much as crap small games as well as have fantastic big games and fantastic small games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
