second to planescape. god damn. that moves it into very nice company indeed. Time to start looking for it

Planescape and baldurs have so far in my book been in a class for themself.

yeah but dont be like me
first i bot the game
then i found out its DVD
so i buy DVD drive
then i find out it needs uber ram and video card
so i bot them.. then i found out they dont FIT ON MY MOTHER BOARD
so i buy new MB .. then i find out my PROCESSOR 3.2GHZ doesnt work on the new MB's so i had to buy a NEW PROCESSOR so basically 1010.00$ later I AM ABLE TO PLAY OBLIVION! ><

[Alpha-Male]

If the story is half as good as in baldurs gate 2 and planescape torment I know I will be addicted

Why the **** are computer games so god damn expensive nowdays

well, the really cool part is, you can do sooooooo much OFF the main story line, sidequests and such (i mean ALOT), and you can do 'em for all the factions...it's still the best RPG to date, IMO (outside of mmorpg's)...

WTF what is the requirements of that game??

The fact that they can do things outside of the main quest so well is what gives me hope that they will make fallout 3 well

fallout 1 and 2 where brilliant because of the rich world and insane freedom.

requirements for Oblivion:

minimum:

windows xp
512 mb ram
2ghz pentium 4 or equivalent
128mb direct 3d compatible video card

recommended (to REALLY appreciate the superb graphic detail):

3ghz pentium 4 or equi.
1gb ram
ati x800 series, nvidia geforece 6800 series, or higher video card

*see, i had a geforce 6200, so i couldnt set the graphics at a good enough setting to fully appreciate the detail (but i've seen it on a comp. that did, and OMFG dude...)

one thing that is pissing me of about morrowind right now is how bad it sux to be a mage. I mean WTF the magica system is SHIT. I am a breton apprentice level 37 and only have 375 in magica(300 realy but I have a amulet that gives constant effect 25+ inteligence).

I hardly ever use magic because of this. Instead I **** everything up with a uhh whats its name now, dremora(or was it daedric always mix those names up) claymore with paralyze on it.

I sure hope in oblivion that you gain magica for each level instead of it beeing fixed by the intelligence score

It was a bit to easy to become powerfull aswell. Havent encountered anything that can beat me one on one so far after I passed level 20 or so.

oblivion magic system is pimp since u kan design ur own spells and stuf but u kan download MODS much like dungeon siege that give u an almost unlimited variety of spells and what not. and since all ur foe's are always the same level as u its pretty well balanced throughout the whole game... get bit by a vampire and u better get a cure for it kuz traveling only at night really starts sucking

but is the magica as limited as in morrowind? I mean the best spell I have designed in morrowind so far does 200 in damage but it eats 100 of my magica. So even though I have maxed out my intelligence and have a 25+ intelligence amulet I can still only cast that spell 3 times. Thats anoying

I guess I have to check for some mod that either gives magica for each levelup or decrease cost of spell with increasing levels.

The most anoying enemy in morrowind so far is those god damn assasins that pop up when I sleep(I think its part of one of the additions I have installed). Those ****ers have paralyze daggers and nowdays always comes in pairs. ****ing assholes.

yeah u better become a GOD in alchemy to make ur own magicka potions LOL or its going to be an all day thing killin gthings w/ pure magicka
i love the alchemy aspect in the game and all the skills u can master, but dam it takes a LOT of gaming hrs to build that shit up

[taiboxa]

oh and there are tons of mods out there affecting hte lvling system making where stat allocations are automatic and different lvling conditions..

[Kärnfysikern]

know any good site where I can find mods?

[tiger909]

how bout c&c generals

[Kärnfysikern]

how bout c&c generals

havent tried it. Never been a big fan of c&c, I loved red alert though. When it comes to strategy Star Craft is still the best and I LOVE Total Annihilation. Jesus christ talk about a ****ing incredible game.

yeah MMORPG's suck unless u have a solid 10-12hrs to dedicate to them at 1time
otherwise ur spending mad amount of money to play online w/ other people to be A) a mooch and beg for stuff from others or B) a N00B for eva

and I dont like games where you cant bring down the biggest badest monster by yourself. I have seen my friends play wow and damn some of the bosses are just ridicilous

[tiger909]

MMORPG's..whats tht?

[Kärnfysikern]

massive multiplayer online role playing game.

like everquest and world of warcraft.

[boxingbean]

final fantasys, especially #3 on super nintendo, and JADE EMPIRE,

[InsaneInTheMembrane]

Oblivion is the bomb..playing it now...the graphics are superb

but my all time favorite is Final Fantasy....8 was the best for me, 9 was so-so, 10 was good, x-2 was disgusting..looking forward to the english version of 12 out this november....salivating just thinking about it....its the best RPG if you are not into on-line gaming

[Phreak101]

Neverwinter Nights, Final Fantasy 3 (in US, 6 in JAP), Xenogears for PS, and Heroes of might and Magic 4!

I'm more of a shooter/strategy guy myself but these stand out in my mind!

I never got into final fantasy. I played final fantasy 1 alot and played 7 a bit aswell. But its to linear for my taste

if you like heroes of might and magic 4 you HAVE to play 2 and 3. They blow 4 away. 2 is a old dos game but still the best game in the series(havent tried 5 yet). Cant count all the hours I have spent playing 3 with friends though.

Ive played em all, I liked 3 and 4 the best, 4 just allowed a bit more creature development. Great series though, 5 wasn't as enjoyable though...
