Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Movie, Construction Set

by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 20, 2006 11:37am PST

One more day (ignoring that several stores will already begin selling the game this afternoon) until The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion shows up in stores and that means we have another countdown video. To go along with that there's the TES Construction Set for Oblivion. For more information on how to use that check out the WIKI.

I am going to be getting the 360 version now, and I will pick up a "boxed set collector's edition" for the PC in a couple years. It just makes sense to do it that way. The 360 will run the game at well-tested and approved settings, detail, etc. It will be a great game. Then, when I want something better than Oblivion for the 360, I will get a cutting edge PC two years from now, along with the PC version of Oblivion, as well as whatever official expansion packs are available... hopefully all packaged into a nice all-in-one boxed set. That way, I can play the game all over again, with improved graphics and an expanded world, thanks to official and unofficial expansions.

I simply don't want to be bothered with struggling to get Oblivion running well on today's PC. That and I want an excuse to get a 360. Oblivion seems to be the only reason so far :)

uh oh, two issues so far.

i have ffdshow installed, I alt-tabbed out of Oblivion to find about 25 ffdshow icons in my systray... seems it's bringing up new ones for something (dialogue maybe).

Also (this happened to me in HL2 as well) the non-locked dialogue is really low when I'm facing someone and louder when I turn to the side... positional audio is being a little to positional... anyone know how to fix this.

Also, the game ROCKS

So I was at EB getting my pre-order on so I can pick up the game this evening. Ahead of me in line is one of those guys. You know the ones. He begins his questions with "you know how/when..." and responds to answers with an unaffected "oh ok." He was asking, "You know how in Morrowind the combat was kinda broken and didn't hit when you should hit? Do you think its gonna be like that in this game?" "Yes its better in this game." "Oh, OK."

It occurs to me that lots of other people don't view The Elder Scrolls in the same way I do. Their anticipation is based entirely on factors I'm not too concerned with. The game has remained more-or-less the same as it was when I first played Daggerfall, and regardless of any technical improvements (or shortcomings) I'm sure to have a blast. I could care less what anyone else thinks of the game or what ruined it for them - nothing in this game is going to break it for me.
