Can anyone who has played the game on PC tell me whether or not the launcher is set up in the same way with the .bsp's/mods? If it is the same, we can probably bet on a huge mod community for Fallout 3. The mod community was by FAR the single best thing about Oblivion for PC. The work of the modders added so many new dimensions to that game that the PS3/360 versions can't even compare.

I was watching the credits from the menu to see who did the voices and I can't believe I didn't recognize Liam Neeson as your daddy. And Stephen Russell (Garrett from the Thief games) voices a bunch of characters, warming up for Thief 4.
Game is aweslime, the decapitations, dismemberments and gibs from the VATS are all so arousing. And you can go back to areas you were at weeks ago and the corpses and body parts will still be strewn about. And of course you can eat them if you have the right perk. *cums

it's probably great. i've played the two first games to death.
i just barely met the reqs to play oblivion on my pc, but it was playable.
is this game much 'heavier'? or the same as oblivion?

I had a tough time maintaining a good supply of ammo for the first few hours, but it gets easier if you correctly use the character you built. IE- If you're not building up your different gun skills, it's gonna take lots of ammo to kill things, so you better have good bartering and speech so you can buy lots of cheap ammo and talk your way out of conflicts. I don't know how effective a melee-based approach is in this game, but with all those fuckers with mini-guns and rocker launchers, it seems it would be tough.
The Scrounging perk really helps out, you'll find more ammo lying around, I got it around level 7 or something.

And when you kill somebody with the same weapon you have, pick it up and check to see if it's in better shape than yours, you'll get more damage out of it, less ammo wasted. I'm too lazy to think of it sometimes.

After about 12 hours of playtime. This is one of the best games I've ever played. I always loved Elder Scrolls for it's ambition but it always lacked something that would stop me from really getting into it. This thing has got me hooked for hours and hours, so much to do, so much amazing detail and background stuff. And the default difficulty is lovely. Never too hard, never to easy. Top quality, wherever I look.
I'm in love with this game.

It's Bethesda's redemption, I'm sorry for doubting. With this quality and these gameplay mechanics, it feels more like ''Deus Ex in a huge world'' or... gasp, ''Fallout in 3D'' than ''Oblivion with guns''.

It's really good.
I'm finding it hard to be the complete piece of evil shit I wanted to be- I've done a few good deeds. Still, I murdered the Overseer in the beginning (the girl was none to happy about that), and at one point this shop keeper caught me stealing from his safe and I had to cut his throat out before he could run out and alert the whole town.

I killed the overseer too, though I think that's the last time I ever lost karma. Did you reach the Paradise Falls quest yet? That's about the most vile cretinous villaindom I've seen. I dealt with the evil doers with extreme prejudice, but their quest sounded kind of fun and REALLY evil.

Nope not there yet... just doing a bunch of side quests at the moment. I turned down my once chance for true evil when some shady guy in Megaton asked me to detonate the warhead in the middle of town. He didn't give me a good enough reason to do it- plus that kind of evil really isn't my style, I guess. I ended up snitching on him to the sheriff.

Oh yeah, that guy with the nice suit. I shot him in the face right there in the restaurant. Instant karma.
I just beat the main quest. It is unbelievably short. Wow. This is more of an observation than a complaint, because I still have a lot to do on my current save, and I plan on replaying the game as a dickhead afterwards. No shortage of content, the main quest is hardly the meat of the game. It's just that... I was at the credits before I even knew what was happening. I thought I was just casually advancing the story, not bringing it to a close.

hmm.. damn. That was always one of the biggest shortcomings of oblivion, imo. the main storyline was WAY too short, and had no clear indication of when it was going to end so it was very easy to get really enthralled by it and beat the entire game at lvl 3. I'm kind of disappointed to learn that the system hasn't been changed for Fallout, but no software dev has unlimited manpower/resources, so it was probably either: go with a long and linear main story, or a short main story with many, many side quests and alternate story arcs.

I never did get around to completing the main Oblivion quest, so I can't compare it. But yeah, it's not really a big deal for me, it's the little stories that make up the world at large that are the main appeal.
Mass Effect also had a really brief, but good, main story. If it wasn't for the 1000 sidequests I did, the game would have lasted me about 10 hours. I watched my cousin beat it in one 5-6 hour sitting.
I only just figured out that there's flashlight on your Pip-boy, and that you can alter the 3rd person camera to look and feel like Dead Space, which feels alright and hides the shitty animations. And the reason I was doing the main quests was to get a really strong NPC follower I'd heard about. And now that I have him, the dick kills enemies before I can even see them, and I get no XP.

The main Oblivion quest was really short, and not very difficult at all. I think the grey fox quest took me longer to complete.
The funny thing about oblivion, was how generic the main story was compared to the rest of the world. You could tell where they put all their effort on, the story was secondary to creating a lush atmosphere, and they delivered practically better than in any other game I could think of.
Personally, I couldn't have been more excited that Bethesda was making a post apocalyptic game.

Wish I could have a bigger party in this game. I usually had 2 guys in Fallout 2, but I have gathered some pretty huge groups in Fallout 1.
I actually didn't even get Dogmeat in this game. Reminds me of when I first played Zelda OoT, I beat the game without ever managing to get the horse.

i've got so many damn mods installed already. The construction set (G.E.C.K.) is out so the mods are starting to get crazy. Looking forward to my second play through the game as an "evil" character.

I'm a big big fan of the first two games. I think i've played through fallout 2 at least 4 times in my life. I played morrowind and liked it, but i didn't care too much about oblivion, so i was extremely anxious about this one.
Got it for christmas, and i have to admit it's pretty damn good. It still has an oblivion feel to it, but it's great in it's own respect. Good job!

Games are a fun waste of time in your parents basement. Ophecks, can you start moderating xltronic properly? I thought you were a good laugh ages ago but now you seem to be using this music forum as a gaming thing?

Yeah I really don't care about electronic music anymore, it was a phase that I'm long done with. I still like the people here though, even you, and while most of my posts aren't actually gaming related, and I don't start half the gaming topics, the handful of gaming topics that I do start are pretty popular.
Of course I'm sure you know that if I was to suddenly begin moderating Xltronic with true aplomb, I'd undoubtedly have to ban you, meanwhile all the gaming topics woudl stay. ^_^

I'm supposed to go to a new years party in a couple of hours, where all my friends will be there + a single girl i just heard is interested in me + awesome food, but i'd almost rather stay home and find out who murdered the west family and discover vault 102.
