Title: Oblivion silliness
Post by: IPAndrews on November 07, 2006, 03:01:08 am
First of all this game seems to have a really annoying bug. I got given a horse at the priory. Rode it to some crappy village somewhere. Got off the horse. Talked to some people. When I got back on the horse I got accused of being a thief. Wait a second it's my horse? Still every time I go near an imperial guard now (insert Star Wars imperial march music here) the bastard comes up and threatens to throw me in jail. For stealing my own horse.  :mad:

Well anyway I was playing last night and I'm strolling through a forest. Two foresters run past shooting engaged in combat with a deer. To be fair the deer was running away. I think they were trying to hunt it. One of the foresters gets a bit careless and shoots the other forester in the ass. at which point arrow-in-ass forester turns around and shoots the other forester in the face. So I'm stood their watching and these guys are jiggling left and right firing arrows at one another. Eventually one of them dies. A young life snuffed out because of a careless misunderstanding.  :(

LOL.. I saw it happen too..

Only the guards and bandits got involved too so it ended up as a 4 -sided fight (5 if you count me :D)

What I want to know is how your horse always seems to follow you around no matter where you go or how you get there.

It's really quite talented, even if it's not your horse!

From what I hear the horse ownership is way fux0red in the game. Just grab one of the millions of mods that removes the "STOLEN" bumber sticker from the horse.

Do the mods give women bigger busts? This is a fantasy game afterall.

I suppose there might be a mod like that out there, just for you. :)
They did do a naked plugin for Morrowind. The wome were so well done that I usually ripped clothes off any female I killed. And sometimes the dudes as well, just to humiliate them. :D It was so funny...

Yeah, there's a naked one. It got the game's rating bumped because people were unable to distingush user-made content.

Fairly sad really... I mean I know Oblivion is a fantasy game but if you're able to pick up spoons and plates then you should be able to take all of the clothing from a person.

For me it's on the same lines as having blood in Battlefield. It's not essential and I don't need it but it's something that really should be there to add to the immersion. The fact that it's a mod and not "as standard" should be enough for most people to be able to get over their issues with nakedness.

Hell why stop there. You've stripped them there's only one thing left to do. Human pyramid.

The thing about combat in this game was your supposed 'Allies' leaping in front of your sword and then being pissed off at you for hitting them, and if you kill them, then everyone gets annoyed at you. The only way to do combat was to wait for everyone else to die before you got involved.

does it use ragdoll ? so you can arrange badguys in amusing positions, usually of a sexual nature ?  :drevil:

As much as I think Oblivion is a totally brilliant and ridiculously fun game, we were fed so much bull**** about the whole radiant AI crap that it's just depressing.
I got the collectors edition on release day and probably shouldn't have, I haven't had that much play out of it.

Still good game. I like my Septim too.

I wish Oblivion had set items. *sighs*

Oh well, at least some "uniques" (read: Daedric) items are amusing.  :drevil:

Yup.  I remember creeping out a roomful of people who were watching me once by picking up the dead corpses and waving them around on screen.

Ah...good times... :lol:

So the Redguard race in Oblivion. They're not black. No,no,no. They're red. Sure they all have corn row, afro, or dreadlock haircuts. That's just co-incidence. As is the guy in the opposite prison cell at the start of the game who comments on how much you must be missing the sun. He may as well have said "That's right. You're going to DIE in here... spear chucker". It wouldn't have mattered though because they're red not black. Go into the character editor and try and make them black. You can't do it. Well done Bethesda.

Stand out comedy moment of last night's gaming session (in between actually doing some work on BHX). Retaking the ruined city of KVatch. It had been overrun by bad guys. So I hike up the hill and there are three guys outside. Yup count 'em. Three. A captain and two soliders. The captain announces we're going to retake the city of Kvatch. So we charge into the city and end up in the city's main square, which happens to be directly behind the main gate. We kill two or three goblins and that's it. The captain announces we've retaken the city! At that point I piss myself laughing. Me and my mate are going to take the city of London tommorow. I figure all we'll have to do is beat up a couple of short ass beefeaters in Trafalgar square.

They probably meant they overran and went out the other gate.

That must be it because I've seen more impressive battles outside the local pub.

That could make a good RTS; Closing Time: Total War

Now thats a game i'd pay good money for.......... :lol:

The oppresive barstaff led by the mighty LandLord vs the nefarious drunkards alliance, led by a pikey.
Weapons include barstools and broken glasses, terrain includes pub toilets and blood stained carparks.



*goes to patent office*

My friend says that the only reason Oblivion is good is, and I quote "being able to chuck people off of stuff".
If I ever have it on, he make me find the nearest Oblivion portal, go into a big tower, right to the top, and throw someone off the top. Just for kicks.

The AI comes across as slightly inferior to Lure of the Temptress, and that's an old game. Always nice to see things not progressing in any discernable way.
