Has anyone played it? Has anyone finished it? if so does anyone know if there is a big battle of some sort that you have to fight in? Big battle as in 2 big armies killing each other...Has anyone played it? Has anyone finished it? if so does anyone know if there is a big battle of some sort that you have to fight in?

I've recently become somewhat of a TES fan but i'm waiting for the bugs to be ironed out and a price drop if it happens to get Skyrim. From what i've heard though, the guards were all too poor to afford knee armor and you can shout at someone to gtfo and they'll immediately comply :P.I've recently become somewhat of a TES fan but i'm waiting for the bugs to be ironed out and a price drop if it happens to get Skyrim.

I never understand the mentality of finishing a game as fast as possible, you have just spent however much on it, so you hammer through it like a chore until its 'finished'. I dont class a game as finished until i have truly had enough of it, and that takes time. I get the most out of my games cos i like to try and complete aas much stuff on them as possible, thus making it more interesting and enjoyable (to me). Elder scrolls is great fun, and im loving playing it whyen i get the time and it eats time like nothing else. In a nutshell its medieval GTA, and well worth the asking price. I wouldnt worry about the bugs ott but i know youre anal about that sort of thing so it might be better to wait, but they are releaseing patches all the time for the pc versions, with the console updates coming through online play, so if (like me) you dont play online with your console youre kind of stuck with them, either way i dont find them to be that bad. Also i thought it was supposed to be able to generate its own missions ensuring you never actually 'finish' it, dont know if this is just for online players or something i dreamt, but cool none the less no matter how fictional. :)I never understand the mentality of finishing a game as fast as possible, you have just spent however much on it, so you hammer through it like a chore until its 'finished'.

Given the free form nature of the game i'm sure that when you complete the main quest and 'finish the game' there's still a lot to do afterwards... Oblivion is solely to blame for me staying up to 4 in the morning a couple of nights ago. I got it not long ago and will probably try to finish most of it including the main quest before getting Skyrim, by which time the price should be more in my price range.Given the free form nature of the game i'm sure that when you complete the main quest and 'finish the game' there's still a lot to do afterwards...

Sorry for the late reply. Oblivion's mechanics are a bit different to the point where you might want to consult a guide first about the skills and leveling up system. You have 21 skills and pick 7 major skills which get a boost and only increases in those skills level you up. You also have 8 attributes which affect these skills, health, magicka and fatigue in their own way. Leveling up however is a double edged sword due to monsters leveling up with you. You want to make sure you get at least 2 +5 attribute boosts in every level up (if you don't have a 3rd at +4 or +5, put the 3rd into luck) by gaining at least 10 points in skills governed by a single attribute. Fail, and the level scaling nature of the game throws out opponents that are just too good. Succeed, and you keep up with or even surpass said opponents. Keep at it like this, and you'll max out every attribute except for luck, which you'll no longer need if you have 100's across the board, by the end of the game. Here's how to do it in more detail: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Leveling Alternatively, you can pick 7 major skills you're planning on never using and trounce the entire game at level 1, which is perfectly feasible since your minor skills will increase to good figures but not level you up, leaving you with a really good character in the end-game for a level 1 where the monsters will be weak as. Be careful however, since your minor skills will start out really low leaving you with a very weak character in the early game. Consider grinding rats until your minor skills have caught up if you're taking this option. Also, the game might be a bit boring using this route since you'll never see the really uber monsters in the game aside from a few set encounters.Sorry for the late reply.

That seems so complicated and confusing...same reasons as why I dont use mage in any game I play. Also the graphics seems real bad. I think ill pass.That seems so complicated and confusing...same reasons as why I dont use mage in any game I play. Also the graphics seems real bad. I think ill pass.

It's actually not that complicated once you actually get into it, all you need to do is have say, block and heavy armor as minors, get a weak enemy to attack you whilst holding down block and once you've gained 10 points combined between those two skills you're set for your endurance at the next level up. Then if you have blade as your only weapon major, you can use blunts and hand to hand till you get 10 points between those and there's your strength +5. Level up and your melee character just got a stronger relative to the enemy. The skills governed to personality are also quite easy to level in Oblivion, so if you're getting stuck, just go up to people and play the speech minigame until you have enough points for a +5 personality level. So that's a +5 in endurance, strength and personality set up for that level. Ok, so it IS complicated. But hey, it's more interesting than the boring level systems of older RPG's :P.It's actually not that complicated once you actually get into it, all you need to do is have say, block and heavy armor as minors, get a weak enemy to attack you whilst holding down block and once you've gained 10 points combined between those two skills you're set for your endurance at the next level up.

But if you think that's complicated, you don't wanna know how difficult it is to raise a skill that's not a Major or Minor in Morrowind! You can't cast spells at low skill, you can't connect with melee strikes at low skill, you can't persuade at low skill, in fact the only skills you can really start low in Morrowind without making it cripplingly hard to level said skills, are all the armor skills, Athletics and Acrobatics. Everything else just fails on you when you need it, so should you play Morrowind, make sure you skills you want to actually work for you from level 1 as Majors or at least Minors when creating a character.But if you think that's complicated, you don't wanna know how difficult it is to raise a skill that's not a Major or Minor in Morrowind!

LOLWUT? You only have to do this at lower levels remember and it's easy to earn skills at those levels. If you're making a fighter once you have 100 strength 100 endurance you can just roam the world at hearts content knowing your guy is BEAST! BEAST! BEAST! You can have this as early as level 10 too. Block, Heavy Armor and Armorer are Endurance skills Blade, Blunt and Hand-To-Hand are Strength skills So: Nord or Redguard, doesn't matter much which one, Nord's get good perks but Redguards can give themselves a huge buff once a day. Could do Orc too if you're into races that look like beasts. Start blocking right away from the tutorial, get a few points in that but leave it as a minor so you can keep those skill INCREASES which are important. Consider leaving Heavy Armor a minor too so you get more increases in that and gives you more repairs to do. Use all 3 melee optons equally as this will maximize your skill increases for strength. That's it! You should get 10 points in each of these skill sets per level up easily as long as you only took 1 skill from each set as a major (A good build for this could be Blade, Armorer, Alchemy, Acrobatics, Restoration, Merchantile, Sneak). If you took Strength and Endurance as your favoured attributes as well, you'll be at 100 in each by level 10 and be able to do whatever you like from there. Still too confusing? Here's the tl dr version: Out of Armorer, Block, Heavy Armor, Blade, Blunt and Hand-To-Hand, use all of them equally at first but only take 1 of the former 3 and 1 of the latter 3 as your majors. You should easily get +5's in the 2 attributes you want, and don't worry, even if you can't grasp the system, you will be able to figure it out eventually.LOLWUT?

So the archers in the land of Skyrim aim for the knees. Don't they realise it's ineffective. Instead, that character that came up with the meme should say, "...then I got hit an arrow." then let the protagonist asks where.So the archers in the land of Skyrim aim for the knees.

It's absurd bestplaymaker. To think one arrow stopped them from adventuring... your character will take loads of arrows and be perfectly fine after a potion or two :P.It's absurd bestplaymaker.
