tfad's holiday - in Morrowind!

Hey!
I've not been around for a bit, I've been on hoilday - playing Morrowind. Yeah, I know it took a while for me to get around to it. Great game, but with poor monster design.
Anyone else a fan?

Peace,

Heh, have you seen my user name?

Yeah, I love the Elder Scrolls series. I just bought "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" on XBox 360... and I don't even own an XBox 360. Sigh.


Hey!

Wow - that's a fan. I take it you're gonna get a 360 soonish then. I've played a few games on it; Ridge Racer (good as it ever was, ie. great!), Kameo (bleh) and Call of Duty (I think it was called; okay but not as ace as Half-life/Red Faction/Halo) but don't own one myself. Can't afford it and there's nothing wrong with my PS2. When it works. ;P

Anyway; great game, lots of class options and stuff. But seriously - what is up with the monster design? I thought 2nd Ed was wacky. I hope it's better in IV.

Peace,
tfad


I'm a big elder scrolls fan, Morrowind kicked ass and Oblivion looks great (Both visually and with the new radiant AI system) and I'm going to get a 360 soon so I can play it.

Yeah, I'm hoping for a 360 by the end of April- it's my birthday and all- assuming I can pay off all these damned bills. You know, they just keep coming, every month, like clockwork. What's up with that?

I got to play it on a friend's computer hooked up to a giant friggin' plasma screen. I hate him now. The plasma didn't recognize any of his computer's screen height/width ratios, so everyone looks linds squat and fat. But on a screen that big, the experience is completely immersive.

There are still some wacky looking monsters in Oblivion- their trolls are, erm, wierd. However, even the wierd monsters still look cool. Even the rats and goblins kinda freak you out at first- they literally jump at you when they attack you, so you get a face-full of ugly every time you fight them. But afterwards you can drag their limp corpses around- I had a lot of fun trying to throw rat corpses at walls.

And it is bloody as hell, too. I tried playing a stealthy archer character to start out- when you put a sneak attack arrow into a goblin's neck, it paints the walls, man. Then you get to go over and see your arrow jutting from his juglular. Makes you feel proud.

Anyway. I've gotta stop talking about it before I ramble on enough to make me consider illegal activity to pay for my 360. Carry on, friends, carry on. May the Nine protect you.


Have gotten Oblivion (yay for paycheck bonuses!) will let y'all know how I like it. I got the special edition too, with the book and Imperial Septim coin. It's spiff. :-D


I am a big fan, although I only own Morrowind. I was hoping to see Oblivion come out on XBox but I haven't seen it and haven't looked on the net for it so... Prolly won't ever be getting it seeing as I'm not getting a 360 anytime soon, but I can hope!!


Morrowind rules and I already bought Oblivion even with out yet owning a 360. The best part of Morrowind is becoming a Vampire god, and killing everything(with out cheats mind you).
