  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sounds like we have an RPG hater here. lol

It's called immersion. Granted, the walking is a bit much in Oblivion, but how unfun would it be if you didn't have the chance to explore the world and you were magically beamed to each place? THAT is :sleep:. I'd much rather the ability to run around.

I play lots of RPGs. I just don't like having to walk a mile, sharpen my sword and cook my meals in between battles. Immersion isn't my thing.

You can fast-travel in Oblivion, and I don't recall anything about having to cook meals outside of realism mods. My criticism of the game's mechanics is that they encourage bizarre behavior, such as jumping everywhere you go to increase your acrobatics.

Also, if you liked Morrowind and Oblivion, you should know that the lead designer of both is working on a new title at Big Huge Games.

Graphics look incredibly realistic, and I enjoy it so much better.

Hubby and I are right now playing FABLE 2. He loves Oblivion, I couldn't get into it.

Fable 2 is nice eye candy, but it is way to easy. There is no chance of dying (only getting scarred when you get knocked out), and then it takes so much for you to be knocked out, I only got knocked out once.

I would give it a 6 out of 10, and every time I think about how easy it was to beat it, I get more and more jaded I get about it.
