Yup, TES4 is out.

I'm running at pretty much just a few options above medium, but it still looks nice:

Sweet. What rig do you have, Ace? I should be getting my copy tomorrow or Thursday...

[Grug]

*cries* I want it! Want it now!

[Ransom]

Awesome. I'll probably get it in a couple of months... as much I'd like to get it when it comes out here (tomorrow), I just don't have the time for it at the moment.

[Turnsky]

*cries* I want it! Want it now!

you and me both, but first, xbox 360

Maybe it's just the settings you have up, but to me it doesn't look THAT much more impressive than Morrowind, visually.

0,o

It's quite a bit more impressive then Morrowind to my eyes, although the character doesn't look vastly improved, the textures are much nicer. And that water...*drools*

[Flipside]

Graphics are pretty, but is it a good game?

The characters doesn't look much improved..?
Just about every character in that game looks like they and their faces had a close encounter with a truck at high speed. =\
Ofcourse.. that is before you apply the mods made by the community. Those are invaluable, they truly give the game such a facelift.

Edit: If it's not apparent, I'm talking about Morrowind, not Oblivion

[BlackDove]

Err my FFXI settings on full look better than that.

But Ace you have an older video card right? Game probably looks way better than that.

[Grug]

I'd guess at yes, all the reviews I've seen say its great. Plus I'm fairly faithfull in these guys to make each new game greeater than the last. I wish I hads it now.

[Ace]

I'm running this on a P4 2.5ghz with a Radeon 9800 pro.

As I said before, the graphics are set at medium. (the distance slider I set a bit further since it can handle it, but self and regular shadowing has been turned off)

At full detail it's _much_ better looking but my computer starts to explode.

Morrowind with the right plug-ins does look as good as Oblivion on low detail settings. (Morrowind doesn't have the shader/bump mapping support though)

In a few months I'll get a nice new PCI-E video card, and then I'll be whining that not enough graphics upgrade plugins are out yet

As for whether or not it's a good game:
It takes the best parts of Morrowind and Daggerfall and slams them together in a particle accelerator.

I still haven't quite figured out either the lockpicking or persuasion "minigames" though. Probably the sort of thing that's incredibly obvious to everyone else but I totally miss it.

[BlackDove]

Yeah, the 9800's old stuff. I'll take some later with my X550 unless someone with something better beats me to it.

[Ghostavo]

Show enchanted weapons if you have the time. I hope they've taken off that weird look they had in Morrowind.

[Ace]

Just did, the slight green glow on the Blades dai-katana is from the spell effect I enchanted it with using a sigil stone.

It's a very slight shader effect to add a little glow to the edges.

[BlackDove]

Here's how it looks on an X550 (note the card isn't supported by the game, the game considers it outdated - so imagine what your systems that are up to speed will display)

I play it in 800x600/1024x768, it really is demanding, and I don't want to sacrifice much quality for speed. Note however, these are NOT on high quality, I'll leave that to the people with computers that can run it smoothly.

Took a widescreen one just for the hell of it though.

[NGTM-1R]

Christ. I'm going to need a whole new box for this.

[Mr. Vega]

Get it. Now.

It fixes everything Morrowind messed up; and everything Morrowind did well, Oblivion does better.

I seriously think it'll be a year before I play anything else.

[Flipside]

Damn, you people are tempting me to reach into funds that don't exist

*Goes to play gothic 2 instead.....
