man, the graphics in this game are awesome.

One of the biggest and most open ended games in history is released and the ONLY thing you manage to cough up in your review is that the graphics are rad?

THANKS TIPS!

[crookedking]

i'm not going to ruin the game for you!

ps-what sign were you born under?

I need to upgrade my graphics card, as of now I can only run it at medium.

Other than that though, I'm impressed. It's the size of an MMORPG but a single player game. The interface is amazing too, so simple but covers everything you need. The quest log is efficient and I can't see being stuck in the game, there is constantly something to do (even if it is collecting brooms to see how big of a pile of crap you can make... maybe I'll try to dam a river).

Sign of the Warrior; there's something appealing about bashing shit with a giant fucking hammer.

I guess I wont spoil any of the story either, its a great game though, probably one of the best games I've ever played for PC. Here is a pic of my dood in the game.

Well, I just beat the game at level 23, I was aware that you can level up to 100 going into the game, so I figured that the game would end at around lvl 40 or 50, only to realize that it can be beat at lvl 1. Normally, im dissapointed when games drag out to senseless power levelling and fetch quests, but I think im more dissapointed that the game ended so early. This game was not nearly as big of a challenge as I expected it to be, even on a more difficult than normal setting. Sorry for being vague, but I just dont want to spoil the story/stories. I give the game a 8.5/10, only because I thought it could provide me with many many more hours of gameplay.

^I think one of the biggest draws to the game is supposed to be the 'sandbox' quality. Yeah you beat it but did you really take the time to just wander and enjoy all the other stuff there is to do??

Did you level up every time you gained a level or did you keep upgrading your skills to get +5 every time?

And did you go straight through the story or go after the sidelines, because the game is massive with the sidelines and dungeon crawling.

ps: Is fistfucking each oblivion gate part of the main story or the dungeon crawl?

I watched these guys playing this on the 360...just gorgeous. Makes me ALMOST want to try it...but I don't have time.

Well, I played the main quest for a few days, I joined the blades through it, and I lvled my rank quite a bit for them, then I learned that you can join more than one faction, so I stopped doing the main quest and hammered out side quests for the fighters guild, dark brotherhood and mages guild. I thouroughly enjoyed the DB (I dont wana spoil anythin so i wont go into details) and I reached the highest rank with them, I got mid ranks with fighters and mages guild, but they seemed boring compared to DB so I just continued on with the main quest. Then a day or so later after I continued on with the main quest, the game was done, I still enjoyed it, but I dont have any incentive to play it anymore, now its a "kill time" type game that I probably wont uninstall until I need the HD space.
