Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion

I just... "imported" this game and i really must say that it is fantastic. This game is similar to the previous games, but improved soo much its ridiculous. I haven't even started the story yet and I am a few hours into gameplay. It is just a wide open world with a bunch of quests you can partake, and the game primarily occurs in first person (with an option for a clunkyish looking third person.)
The best part about the game is all the choices that you can make, down to customizing every aspect of your face to picking what skills you want to master its just a lot of fun. Also when talking about the skills, they have made it infinitely easier to level up skills that you originally chose not to be primary, and thus at the end all your skills could be extremely powerful!

I saw the game on X-Play (when G4 was still on cable....) and it looked awesome. They said that you can do a ton of things before even touching the story line. If it is for the computer, can you provide the specs?

Hrmm I could provide the specks, but I much rather provide a link that tests looks at your system specs and tells you how well it runs things.

However, yes you can really do a ton of things even before starting the story and thus is makes it very interesting. Right now I am trying to run around and get as good equipment as I can find at my level. Also, I am trying to avoid vampires as if they hit you, you become one and thus grow weak during the day.

It is amazing. I've played a little bit.

It looks absolutely amazing from what I seen my brother play. My computer is no longer gaming quality so I can only watch. I like the level of customization with the characters and it just looks smooth. The only thing is I still have a little problem with the hands.

Yeah the game is quite fantastic and I have had no problems with it.... well except for becoming a vampire. Becoming a vampire makes you super strong (yay) but makes it so you can't really go out at night and the only way to restore fatigue is to really suck blood which can get tiresome quickly (big nay!) Thus I have already restarted my game.

I heard the things you needed to do to make a cure for the vampire thing was a pain. I think I saw it on cheat, and there were a ton of things you had to do, a couple of things you either had to pay a fortune for or spend ours in the fields looking for the things yourself.

This much is very true. The cure is such a pain that many opt to just reload their file or start anew as opposed to going way out of their way to spend hours trying to complete the quest which really only serves to be a great pain.
