Morrowind!, Big News!!

[Ahriman]

Meh, uhmm... When was it released? Like, what, 4 months ago? Well, anyways, I bought the game 1 day after it was released.... Played it like 5 hrs a day ^_^'

Oh and that mod- Its not a mod. Its a 10 mods But still, it should be Teen.... Poor kids in California can't buy it now ;(

Oh and, by the way... what was I going to say... oh right.

When you talk to the people... it's not Morrowind. It's Oblivion. FORGET THE DAMN SUBTITLES!!!  PUT ON YOUR SPEAKERS AND LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE!!!


Now THAT is half of the 4.5 Gigs the game takes up

[Kerol]

We were born naked weren't we? xD

No, I was born with my scarf! 

But seriously, the graphics of Oblivion look awesome o.o
Just finished playing Splinter Cell and I have to say the shadow dynamics there are just amazing.. giantic shadows of moths flying around a lamp, shadows of fences on the characters, and all the shadows are geometrical correct.. just amazing (and now after the CS conference I know how difficult shadow mechanics are o.o). If the overall graphics of Oblivion are just as good as the shadows in Splinter Cell.. wow.

Played it like 5 hrs a day ^_^'

Only? In my rough time I was playing PS for 10-12 hours a day >.>

School, Parents. Today I had a swimming competition, but yesterday I started at 7 in the morning, ate at 10, went back to playing at 11, ate at 5PM, went back to playing at 6, went to sleep at 11.

If I were to take a screenshot of a cool place I know... or take a 2.4 MBPS video..... man..... you would pop. It is the view of the Imperial city from around Chorrol.... bah....

[Golarim]

The game looks really nice. Too bad system didn't run it...

[Xordan]

I can run it on max quality (woot xD). I've yet to finish it though. I stopped playing the main quest and I want to complete everything else first. Dark Elf Vampire Assassin FTW!

[Ahriman]

I also recently downloaded a mod for a race you an pick called "The Dark One". He has some sweet powers like the Greater Power of the Dragon's Breath that does like 5000 damage in 120 ft radius of you, but the mod doesent work. Like, you can choose him/her, but the dark elf in the next cell doesent say anything, which  means that the guards and the Emperor won't come ;(   Also I have a level 12 deadra I started just a few days ago.... Pretty cool. I also found some good vids on google! The words under them are for the video above them.

Intro vid.

That one is probably the best I'll find.... Sweetly unedited action! Requires DSL, for all of the vids..... It's unedited except for the last few seconds where the emperors voice comes up.

I thinl thats enough Didnt realize I posted so much ^_^'

[zorbels]

Ok I finally found something I dislike about the game. The dialogue. It is a shame they spent so much time making the game look realistic, but when you approach an NPC you already talked to and even sold stuff to and they respond to you with the same dialogue that they used when you first meet them ..... that just seems silly to me. Is it hard to program the NPC into remembering that you have meet them and have already done a quest for them? So you don't get the "Hi my name is" and "I do this for a living" over and over. I think if you have meet the NPC it should be able to recall meeting you and maybe ask you how your finding your way around or something. To me this would not take away from the awesome game they have built. For some reason I have the impression that when putting the dialogue information in, at that point it seemed like the attitude was ...  rush .... rush ... get the game on the shelves!

[Jekkar]

It's still the most dialogue in a game ever I think, what would you want them do? Spend 20 years making the game so the conversations dont get boring?

[Ahriman]

It's not hard, but in one of Bethesda's interviews said that they will not make it, because if you play the game with your bro or sis, and they share the same account, you could miss out on the info and will not be able to continue in some parts when you need that info.... Or maybe you forgot to turn your speakers on and didnt have the subtitles on, and only heard half of what they said. ^_^

[zorbels]

It's still the most dialogue in a game ever I think, what would you want them do? Spend 20 years making the game so the conversations dont get boring?

Erm ... lmao... Ya! That is what they do for a living. If it was just a hobbie then I would say no. 
                                                     ...........................................................

@Ahriman: That is a very good point and completely understandable. It is a shame though. I am not even talking big ajustments to the dialogue . I would just like to go into a tavern and not have the tavern keeper act like they don't know me even though they meet me before and I even did a quest for them a couple of times. A simple "Hello, good to see you again, would you like to view my wares?" would be nice. The game is so realistic with the graphics, that the same conversation with an NPC I have met a million times kind of ruins it for me.

[Robinmagus]

That's just being picky.


And now I'm working my arse off for my dad so he buys me that new video card.

[Jekkar]

There's always the mod community, they will save the day

[zorbels]

That's just being picky.

Hmm.. I don't see it that way at all. I didn't think it was being picky on making mere suggestions or a "wish" to have a game that looks so realistic, have the dialogue a little more realsitic too. To me if your going to spend that amount of time making the game look so sweet you wouldn't want to dumb it down with crappy dialogue. Especially with all the time and effort they put into the books and history of the game. That in its self shows they could have done a better job with the dialogue.

@Jekkar: Very true. Go modding community!
