Oblivion IV did NOT live up to the hype at all. I found it a bit too grindy...plus extremely newbie-unfriendly. Sometimes you could teleport, sometimes you couldn’t...also objectives were poorly laid out.

Really? Compared to Morrowind I thought Oblivion already held your hand a lot more than it should’ve.

Level scaling sucks.

The leveling scaling really was bad.

That’s part of the reason why my character is still level 8....I stopped raising any levels.  Then again, I haven’t touched the game since May of 2007, lol, so it’s a bit irrelevant at this point.

I made the mistake of trying to level my character up right away....

... and then wondering why that boar outside the first town always kicks my ass.

I wonder if Fallout 3 will be the same way....

My guild stopped raiding.

hmm. decisions decisions.

dude, all you need to rule the game is get the umbra sword for soul trapping, enchant a necklace at 20% chameleon, a ring at 20% chameleon, 2 pieces of armor at 20% chameleon and get the Kahijitis ring from Meridia’s Shrine Daedric quest and you will have 110% invisibility.  you can steal, kill and do anything without being challenged.  It will take the challenge out of the game, but you will be unstoppable.

you can also exploit a duplicating glitch for xbox360 that will allow you to mass duplicate any non-quest items so money or inventory wont be an issue.

^ Well, for sure, once you start getting the good magical gear and spells and you start creating your own stuff you’ll start getting better relative to the enemies. But if you level at a higher rate, the middle levels are just painful - everything just kicks your ass.

And it’s just kind of depressing to see like random bandits carry around crazy gear as they scale up… it’s like you have to jump through all sorts of hoops to get Daedric and Glass armors or whatever and then after a certain level, everyone in the world is wearing them.

It’s not that there’s no way to dominate the AI or level scaling.... it’s just that the system sucks. I mean, any RPG that you can pass at Level 2 easier than you can do it at Level 10 (or heck the fact you can pass it at Level 2 at all) is broken.

^ on a p.s. note, I’m a bit peeved I didn’t find the writing where it actually said “the cake is a lie.”

:(

I saw at least 3 or 4 places like this.

^ SERIOUSLY RIGHT?!

Freaking A. I kept on seeing the hand-scrawled pictures and notes about the cake. cake cake cake. Whatevs.

Dude, I played GH3 and the first one. It’s prettttty addicting. I can’t wait for Rock Band 2 to come out...oh man. Epic, epic, epic.

^man, RB2 ships in Sept for Xbox but not til later for PS3. Cool thing is that the DLC for RB1 can be used for RB2 according to this IGN interview

STILL???

Are you gonna play Diablo III when it comes out?

All of my gaming friends were excited when info was released about it and kept saying that they played Diablo II for 10 years so they’ll probably play Diablo III for 10 years too.
