what are YOU going to do in it?

i will use the a.i to totally rob people and occasionally commit some pwnage against happy innocent

Corley · 03-12-2006, 10:43 AM

Hmm, if its anything like morrowind the story will be complete pants, so i'll spend my time robbing everything not nailed down.

forks, candles, plates, vases, books, pillows...

anything really.

The first of a series of many Oblivion polls to come, no doubt

I think I'd just follow the storyline and try to take up as many sidequests as possible, and try to do all the "funny stuff" on a replay

filmcomposer · 03-12-2006, 11:46 AM

I loved destroying entire villages. Just to find out later that I was lonely with everyone dead.

I'll follow the storyline, but also do a lot of things on the side, it all depends on what I feel like doing at any given moment. However, I probably won't play Oblivion till I upgrade and that might take a reeeally long time.

UPtimist · 03-12-2006, 12:10 PM

I'll probably start playing so that at first I'll do a lot of sidequests, then get gradually more interested in the main storyline. Or then I'll play them and just a bit of the main storyline until I get bored and have a longer or shorter break from the game, and when I get back start playing, I'll play almost only the main story in a rush, get quite far, then lose interest again (that's what happened to me in Morrowind, though at time I was a novice in the genre... Well, maybe I still am, but, you know...)

OK, actually, I'll do a lot of side quests and explore, but also do the main storyline, in an about 65-35 ratio, probably. In exploring I'll also probably do a lot of stuff that has nothing to do with anything, except maybe very much later, when I've either totally forgotten about it or something else which makes all weird...

RPGs are one of the ways I express my supressed kleptomania.

The others being adventure games and Thief-like FPS?

Well, everything my conscience lets me get away with, that is. I can't help it, I'm not like most of you shameless gits

, I can't ever be totally evil. As in real life I gotta be good here and there, even if it's helping a little old monster cross the street.

Porn? Yech. I never could get past that mullet. Eiw.

Karmillo · 03-12-2006, 02:12 PM

I said other since im gonna do the main quest in a funny and reckless way

george · 03-12-2006, 02:20 PM

Well thats the only way to play such games. Why not explore the very limits when you can?
I'll play it like I did with Arcanum and Fallout and especially Morrowind. Two or three times to see everything and do what can be done.
Really looking forward to seeing the game!

It would cost me less to upgrade my PC.

Xbox 360 is still not officially sold in Croatia and costs more than $500.

Amen to that brother.

[toj.cc]Phantom · 03-12-2006, 02:33 PM

If it ends up being like Morrowind, being able to still after the main quest is over, then I'll do the main quest and any side quest I run into. Then I'll do all the ones I missed. After the looting and killing are always fun!

SakSquash · 03-12-2006, 03:41 PM

I'm with others, i'm doing everything.

Karmillo · 03-12-2006, 04:38 PM

What an odd reply!

Gaming == escapism. I like to play a character that doesn't resemble me in my real life. A character that does things I would never have the guts to perform in real life. Like, the drunken monk constantly belching in public, the level 555+ "You looking at me?" muscle man (bullet proof to everything). Or the smart bard constantly flirting with pretty women...

Anyway, I think I'm going to finally pick up a copy of "Arcanum" from somewhere instead. Oblivion can wait, especially since "Morrowind" is enough to last two lifetimes and I haven't played the fantastic Gothic 2 yet, either.
