HOwever the product was BRAND NEW, FACTORY SEAL, and was amazing for its price. I had to get mine from GAMESTOP.
So i found this product, they clearly sold me this product, advertising that it was the original elders scroll. So i purchased it.
Ok so is you play OBLIVION you know that the goty edition has a bug(Cure Vapirism-Bloodgrass), and the only way to solve this problem is to play the orginal elders scroll IV:Oblivion(Not game of the year edition). Make sure when purchasing this item you confirm with the retailer that it is in fact the original elders scroll:Oblivion(not game of the year edition).
THe item came 2 days later.and in the package was the game of the year edition which i already have. So the did a number on me.
I tried contacting them, but its been 3 weeks and i havent received and email from them yet. I still however wouldnt buy from them.
i only rated one star because I didn't play it much yet because it is in first person view. grrrrrr. I had read on line that you could switch to third person. now I hear that is only after you have beaten the game. I do intend to try to make myself enjoy first person, but i don't know if that will fly. If I would have known this game was in first person view i never would have bought it.
If you like this kind of game you will have lot's of fun I think after Diablo II this is the best game, price / quality wot it your money.
The world you play in is vast and you can explor ever inch of it. Other than that it has elements of HP Lovecraftan metaphysics and theology and also some LOTR. There is a bookstore merchant whose first name is Ogier. I'm just having a grand time.
Also if you attack someone's magical (magickal) powers it is called "severing" like in the Wheel of Time when a Channeler (magic user) was cut off from the One Power.So, cool. Oblivion, has a few appreciated nods to Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series. It's full of old mines, caverns, abandoned forts from the first human empire and ancient ruins from the age when the High Elves ruled. It's a nice obsessive distraction (the decorating of the homes) between emptying caverns of monsters and looting the treasure, and going on quests. It's a vast, vast game.
There are hundreds of minor quests and dozens of major quests (at least, that I can tell). I've already saved the world once and will no doubt have more opportunities to do so. Like Loial the Ogier in Wheel of Time who loves books. I own three houses now. I can see playing it for months and months and months, maybe even years.
Even if I play it all the time. A shack in the Imperial City, a mansion in another city, and a small, but nice, house in yet another. This game is AWESOME.
are great. Voices move around the speakers corresponding to player location. Lighting effects (especially the sky). THE GOOD:- Graphics: Overall graphics are good. This takes away from the game's overall refinement, and the realism of the environment.- Some annoying cut scenes, dialogue, but I expect this in a role playing game.- No game percent complete - big mistake in my book. This adds a lot of depth and is very easy to use.- Sound: Great use of Dolby Digital surround sound.
This makes the game very open ended.- Character Creation: At the beginning, you create your character and can choose many attributes, races, etc.
Overall, not the best on PS3, but very good.- Gameplay Depth: Enormous world to explore, tons of weapons, objects, and people to interact with, many quests to complete and tons of magic/spells.
Player stats and character development progress well displayed in easy to read graphs.
The character detail, object detail and scenery are all well done.
Overall sound is nicely done.- Simple menus: easy to find/equip weapons, magic spells, etc.
Quests vary from quick 5 minute tasks, to 2-3 hours - nice variation.
I also like that you can choose from many different quests at one time, no need to follow a strict order of events.
Fairly easy to use maps and quest descriptions.- Quick load times (for PS3 anyways).THE BAD:- Some graphics draw problems - objects/buildings pop up on the horizon.
How do I know how close I am to beating this game.- Map is a little difficult to navigate, no zoom feature.
