i was going to revisit this.

i got the game with shivering isles, and i only ever completed the main questline and one of the factions (the fighters guild i believe, where you just battle a increasingly difficult enemy)

want to do other bits and get moneys worth but need to finish skyrim first.

I'm playing it now. Picked up the game years ago, started it, but never really got into it. Was too overwhelming, had no idea what to do, found it very complicated.

 

Always kept the game though. After playing Fallout3 and Skyrim, I recently decided to give this game another go, and now I'm hooked!

 

Personally I like Fallout3 the best of those 3 games. I'm just not into that medieval nonsense with the swords and magic, but still having great fun with it.

I haven't heard much about it, since everyone jumped the ban wagon to Skyrim.

 

I don't really think it's jumping a bandwagon if you play the sequel of a game made by the same developers. However, I do still play this game, I find it far more entertaining than Skyrim. I loved the plot of the game and Shivering Isles was incredible. I have trouble with the graphics, though. I guess after you get used to the newer graphics of games like Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Fallout: New Vegas, it's harder to get past the look of a game released in 2006.

10 days later, 1250/1250. Great game.

Jesus! I've owned Oblivion since April 2006. Since then, I've logged hundreds of hours playing the game - most of that time came between '06 and '07 - but I've never beat the main story or the mages guild! I've made a battle mage with the purpose of accomplishing both of these tasks, though. :woop:

 

On topic, I play this game still. I also consider Oblivion better than Skyrim. Maybe it's my nostalgic bias, but I just can't get into being a Dragon Born. :confused:

I'm playing through the game now - I got it cheap as part of a deal. I can certainly see how it must have been amazing when it first came out, but now it just seems a little slow and clunky (compared to more modern open world games - RDR or GTA4 for example). Still a fun world to explore and a decent game, but I can't see me playing after I have finished the main storyline and guild quests. I don't have Skyrim so I can't compare.

 

I haven't started on the main quest yet - just working through the guilds.

i love oblivion

skyrim is better though

however, morrowind is better than both :)

 

I beat Oblivion twice on an old account and never beat it on this one so I plan on going through it very soon. Am probably going to lower the difficulty though as I'm doing it just for the achievements. Don't need another 100 hours logged in this.

 

Also, Morrowind IS the best. I was watching a video on the overhaul mod for the PC and might get back into it.

I've had the Anniversary Edition Steelcase version sitting in my "to get to eventually" stash for quite awhile - I think once I clear out a few more of my backlog (near done with two now) I'll be starting this up. I loved Morrowind when I played it on the PC years ago now, so I'm looking forward to this one... eventually.

 

Not to hijack this thread, but to anyone who has played through the last 3 ES's, is there any continuity that would require me to replay through Morrowind before playing Oblivion (or a reason to play through Oblivion before Skyrim?).

This has been sitting on my shelf for around two years now. Finally started Skyrim after all of the DLC went on sale 50% off. Maybe once I finish Skyrim I will finally tackle Oblivion. Gotta love massive backlogs.

 

Same for me. I spent 405+ hours in Skyrim and had Oblivion for awhile and never touched it. Decided yesterday that it was time to give it a go.

I ordered the GotY edition about a month or so ago after GameStop told me they don't sell this game at all anymore (even though Walmart had it at the time I asked about it but I couldn't get a ride that far into town -_-). I ordered on Amazon but haven't gotten that far yet. I'm working through Assassins Creed Brotherhood first, and then I have 2 more games ahead of it still. I'm debating which I want to do first though after those.... Oblivion or Fallout 3.

 

I have Morrowind for the old Xbox and love that game (HATE the glitches and constant freezing though). I can't wait to start on Oblivion, and I'm grabbing Skyrim after the full collection is released on disc so I can get the DLC too :)
