You might want to look into Two Worlds II if you haven't already then.. Should be right up your alley.

That game any good? I was recently thinking about picking that up, looks fun, and was somehow under my radar for a while.
It's decent, it's not like one of the greatest games ever, but it kept me occupied for a week or more while waiting on BF3 BETA to come out, and I had barely got passed the 1st act in that time..

Although be warned, it doesn't scale like Fallout 3 or Oblivion, areas are set levels.. You'll sometimes get a quest you can't quite do at the moment because your level is too low, but it does a pretty good job of only giving you access to areas and quests where you can either currently handle it or will be able to in just a couple of levels.

I don't get it, what isn't there to stare at? Virtually every location in Fallout 3 has a contextual story designed into it, something that Oblivion has less than 1% of 1% of the time. (0.01%)

I'm not trying to make you like a game you obviously don't like, but your reasons just aren't adding up is all.
Well for one I was getting shot at all the time, or attacked by antlions or whatever. Even with the difficulty slider turned almost all the way down I still had to concentrate more on the action than exploration. And that's not the game's fault, that's the fault of my expectations.

To be fair...I only played 5-10 hours of it, been thinking about picking it up again one day since its only like ten bucks.

Never had that issue myself, but I play Sneak-based characters in Fallout 3/New Vegas, so I am very slow, and very careful (Always hardest difficulty too). It gives me time to take in the game while I ambush people and nick their sweet gear.

Two Worlds (I and II) Is what happens when an Oblivion Mod team thinks they can make a better game simply by adding every piece of content they can think of.

On paper, a great idea, in practice though, there's a critical threshold where you simply don't have the time, money or skill to do even a faction of what you want well. Personally, I think Two Worlds one and two are abortions that should be purged from our collective memory.
From reading reviews my impression was the first one was ***but the second one was ooookay but still fun.

Two days left if you're getting a midnight copy. Bethesda hasn't released anything new on their Youtube or blog though. I think they have their hands full keeping Leaked information off their Forums.

I'm gonna have to agree with San. Fallout 3 didn't work for me, but mainly because it was a bit too depressing for me. New Vegas was a bit more upbeat though and I enjoyed it very much.

For me, that grim, bleak, depressing outlook of Fallout 3 is what sold me on it. It wasn't fast paced, it was gritty and bleak, everything was brown and ugly, just like what I picture a future with that outcome would look like. I was hooked instantly.

Why does the release have to be a Friday!

My girlfriend is in college but she comes home every weekend, usually I love seeing her but...gah...no way I'm gonna get away with ignoring her Friday for Skyrim.

Whatever...I'll sleep with the unopened box...caress it...tongue it.

Too far?

Goody goody gumdrops people. New Countdown Video highlighting the world.



Now I can say it with Pride, Two Days!

Also, for people getting it on midnight Do not install it to the Hard Drive, currently there's a bug (Which will be patched early on Nov.11) that causes incorrect streaming from the HDD. So just play it off-disc which works fine. (Unkown if Mandatory install on PS3 has the issue, I just think it's 360 because of the inefficient caching of the system)

Michael Hogan as General Tullius, that's the one reason I'm considering siding with the Imperial Legion against the Stormcloaks. (Armando Bailey in Mass Effect 2, Doc Mitchell in Fallout: New Vegas)

Also, I've heard the game is actually really hard even on Normal Difficulty. It might just be pains from getting Acclimated to the differences though. I know Morrowind seems impossible as *** if you don't know what you're Doing.

I'm counting the hours, resisting the temptation to look at any more leaked info. I finally 200.6%'d Castlevania Symphony of the Night (XBLA), so I don't got anything to keep my occupied really. And my hand is chafed and bleeding, so Plan B has been expended (Several times)-

I'm not getting it for a few days after release. My uncle up in Buffalo pre-ordered 2 copies and is mailing one to me. It'll be tough waiting those couple extra days.. but it'll give me time to spend -more- time at the gym now to combat the less time at the gym I will spend when I get it.

The 3-D graphics of Skyrim's previews look absolutely stunning.

Very impressive.

Wonder if the gameplay will live up to the standards set by the graphics?

The graphics are supposed to be the low point of the game thus far.

Says a lot about the rest of it, no?

Even the ambiance and background music stands on a grand and illustrious scale. I am curious if there is going to be a release of the game soundtrack/score.

There is, saw it on a website earlier this week. Supposed to be released the week after Skryim's release. I'll try and find the link.

29.99
And I think Bethesda's website is taking pre-orders.

AND HOT *** *** DAMN...if that article is correct if you pre-order by 12/23 its autographed by the composer.

More corroboration.

Graphics yes, but art... No.

See, Games like Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 have amazing graphics, but they really lack a unique visual identity. It focuses too much on making it "Look real", instead of just making it look good. For a game like Battlefield 3, that works to its advantage, but not so much Crysis 2 (in my opinion, cause of aliens 'n'***).

But then you look at a game like RAGE, under the technical wizardry of John Carmack, they make a game that is, in my opinion the most visually impressive game ever released. With amazing art, animations and graphics (Assuming you don't have the issues on PC with drivers). Too bad the game part of the game wasn't particularly interesting, and the plot was so boring and forgettable, I couldn't even be compelled to finish the game. It's not a bad game, but you feel like it's run it's course before it's over. Like getting off early, sure, you're satisfied, but maybe you're a little disappointed it wasn't longer.

I've actually just been watching Dexter.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, the newest episode is good. Like Trinity Season good.
