It's pretty awesome, and you'd be getting in on it just after the release of the mini-expansion, Knights of the Nine (not to mention the rest of the official plug-ins available for micropurchase).

How much more expansive is it that Elder Scrolls III?

 

[Xeriar]

It's the same price as the original Morrowind release... $50 IIRC.

That said, it feels like Heretic/Hexen now, which is mildly annoying as I don't care for FPS-style games.

I have it, played it for about 1 week and got terribly board with it. Imo it is way over rated.Graphics are over rated also. The game is very tedious.High pc requirements, which is nice.

I also just got neverwinter nights 2... its ...ok.

I don't know about how it compares in actual square miles and I've heard it's not as big as Morrowind but it sure doesn't seem as big because of the quick travel.

I'm currently playing it but not very deeply. It depends on what you like whether you will like it or not. It's very open ended and making it interesting is entirely up to you. You have to go along with the story for it to happen unlike many RPGs that put you on a rail and make you fight canned battles to get to the next cutscene.

It's OK. The first half is pretty fun...but it starts to drag down into repetition and bordom through the 2nd half. Not a lot of diversity in the creatures you fight and not a lot of interesting story or sub-plots.

It's a bit over-rated.

If you like mods, you can try downloading Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. Adds tons of new stuff and drastically changes the feel of the game (it alters the leveling, loot, and AI systems, etc.).

What ever happened to real RPG's? =(
Now all we get is this first person shooter meets a small amount of RPG'ing....

Yeah, I'd love to see Baldur's Gate 3 or Fallout 3.

I really like it, graphics are excellent, the main quest is really interesting and I love the way that you can find small villages, inns and manor houses when you're wandering around.

I was a bit disappointed that you can't join as many guilds etc that you could in morrowind, but it seems the mini-expansion is going to add one, and future expansions may add more.

I have it, and I love it. Especially when you have plenty of cheats at hand. ;D

Um...Oblivion is one of the only RPGs out there that truly lets you role-play. Therefore, it is more RPG-ish than some of the so-called RPGs out there.

Never played it, but I'm a big fan of RPG's. So, maybe I'll look into it

Fall prey to temptation easily, do you?

It's not a turn based RPG, I would warn you, though. It's definitly different from most RPGs out there on the market, but the Elder Scrolls' large scale and sandbox game play revolutionized gaming and set the standard for open ended gaming, so it's definitly worth a look-see.

Mmmhm. Haven't had anything bad happen like my computer blow up yet though.

I'm somewhat interested in the direction they're going with Shivering Isles (especially with the whole madness thing), I can't say I saw that coming. It's a good idea though .

But yes, this game is indeed awesome. It's my first Elder Scrolls game, although I've played Morrowind for a bit in the past, I never got the chance to go very far with it. My boyfriend picked it up recently so I'm eventually going to have to do that as well.
