@th4t1guy: your card is overheating. 99% positive on that.

Have you even played this game you tard? Dickhead I'm about 14 hours into the game I am part of 3 Clans in the game.. What are you? Name 1 Clan beyond the Blades!!! Come on, at least prove YOU played this game you tard. Or maybe you can get your friend in Grade school to tell you. Or are you even of the age to play this game legally? Did mommy and daddy buy it for you, am I hurting your feelings? Pfff.

Innovative? A LIST IS INNOVATIVE YOU RETARD? Pfff. Go jerk someone else around. The list is a cop out, cut corner, it's irritating as hell to go look for repair hammers or a book you've picked up. Most EVERY RPG has moved to the classic Ultima style of open inventory with bags. Yeah, you would forget what's in a bag cuz you're a fucking retard. I knew each and everything in NWN and Baldurs Gate etc.. Those had intelligence behind the inventory system. Not this, click on sword and it's equpped cheapness. And don't even tell me this game is innovative.. All I have to say is ULTIMA! Do you even know what that game is? probably not. Cuz your clueless and you accept any trash thrown at you.. I may be critical of games, but that's how I am. My expectations are high.. Obviously WAY higher than Your Nintendo skills.

It's also NOT the same as hotkeys dickhead.. Hotkeys performs the action WHILE YOU ARE IN ACTION. PRESSING TAB AND GETTING INVENTORY PAUSES THE GAME YOU TARD. Fuck, at least play the game before you open your mouth.

Walking is part of ANY RPG. WHAT GAME DIDN'T MAKE YOU WALK? YES I played Morrowind you tool, but I didn't stay hooked to a crap graphics game, I finished the game and moved on to MANY MORE RPGS! I don't even believe you played this game. Teleporting off the bat is gay, noobish. You should first travel on FOOT before teleporting, that's ALWAYS been a standard in RPG. Now they make it lame so even little kiddies like you don't have to use your brain to get anywhere. Baldurs gate required you to walk around, virtually EVERY RPG makes you WALK! I don't know what fucking rpg's you played bud, but not many.

Me play the game eh? I'd skill test you on a quest but you'd probably have to ask your friend since you still play on the original nintendo at home.. Goof. Get a clue.

Don't even bother posting to me again unless you can prove you actually played this game.

now to address other in terms of screenshots..

As for shots, please make sure they are ATI based and outside. One thing you will notice is how the ATI fanboys haven't jumped all over this thread with their screenshots.. They go blabbing how the game looks great but yet they don't even have a clue the game looks different and WAY BETTER on nVidia.. yes, you are supposed to count on review sites to reveal that kinda stuff, unfortunately most DON'T. Most reviewers out there don't even take the time to go through the whole game, they use cheats or what have you to complete it. They miss the whole game yet they can put out 94% reviews.. You tell me how you can review a game give it 94% and not even see the whole game???????

Anyone, please tell me. I'd like to know how to output a review and give it a 94 and not finish it. And I truly feel sorry for anyone that has to rush through a game like this with cheats just to review it. What service are you doing for anyone other than improperly reviewing and recommending games? This is not squarely at you HX, this is to any reviewer out there for this game. But it's fact. They don't get the game previous to anyone else.. They use cheats and fly through the game to the end.

And if you are going to criticize what I post. At least play the game and know what you are talking about, unlike this clueless wonder accusing me, lmfao, of not playing. God.. what a dick.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had to be handled with insults instead of information. Did you ask your parents if you could post on this forum, because I'm sure they'd be displeased with your very sharp language, not to mention your ridiculous temper.

The list is innovative because morrowind's inventory was so problematic.
I should name clans to prove I'm playing the game? Well you are very sharp, aren't you.

So, because "Most EVERY RPG has moved to the classic Ultima style of open inventory with bags," changing that system to another one is... a cut corner. Yes, I'm sure that Bethesda lacked the know-how to implement bags, when several teenage modders have already done it. They should've just been innovative, and used bags. Like every other RPG. No need to take chances, when your expectations of sameness are so high.
And of course, your expectations are higher than my.... nintendo skills?
And I didn't play the game? Says you, who claims that you can automatically teleport to any point on the map. I think maybe you should name some clans, start with the three you're in. Maybe you can use some information rather than repeating "Tard" and the F-word every time you find yourself a little displeased.

My point with the hotkeys was that they were instant, if you're fast, it's not much different from pausing the game and clicking on a heal potion. You wouldn't know that, you're too busy copy-pasting the word Tard on online forums to prove how AWESOME UR RPG SKILLZ ARE LOLOLOL.

The point with walking was that Baldur's gate wasn't as large as Morrowind, and that's why it was a fucking problem. There was also no in-built quick way to move once you had been to a place. You can teleport off the bat, yes, because Oblivion is a very, very huge game. Now you can debate the merits of starting off with teleporting, or you can just use the F-word to prove you're an adult.

So, point being, I don't care how many posts you have, you're acting like a child. I'm glad you're 14 hours into the game, RPGs are probably a better world for you, since you aren't closely associated with this one.

Good Luck Growing Up.

lmer: yeah, that was my first thought too; except I saved my game and it always shows up every time, but it's fine when I leave the store.

I can't get enough of this game.. especially with the incredible selection of mods available already, like Oscuro's for example, makes dungeon hunting WAY more fun and dangerous, with none of that level scaling bullshit.

For those interested, I highly recommend playing the game with these mods:

AddSpells (Adds the drain attributes and damage attributes spells)
attack and hide medium v2.1 (More realistic sneaking instead of the terminator style mob thrashing)
CallSteed30a (Summon owned horses and give them orders to follow/stay)
Deadlier Traps (Yes, spikes through your body = death, same applies to NPC's and Critters)
DEJ_harvest (Harvested plants disappear or turn a faded yellow)
dyeso_Alchemy_Potion_Perks (Alchemy as it was originally intended by Bethesda!)
FathisFix (Thiefs guild bug-fix)
Inebriation (Wanna get double vision after a bottle of Shadowbane?)
Kikai-PlayableDremora12 (Dremora race is now fully playable)
LowRechargeCost (Lower enchanted weapon recharge cost)
MD_Saddle_Bags (Horsey storage with Horse Armor patcher for compatability)
More Realistic Encumbrance (Ever get tired how a 0.1 weight ingredient can suddenly make you encumbered?)
Natural Environments (Clearer water, with photo realistic weather changes and accurate lighting)
No psychic guards v1.2 (Guards will not rush to the aid of a victim unless within hearing distance)
NoLoad (No more annoying 'Loading area...' text)
Oscuro's_Oblivion_Overhaul v1.2 (Properly balanced enemies and stricter looting, no more nerfed items or near-invincible critters, one of the best mods available)
Perceptionv2_1 (Sense what level an NPC or Critter is with a spell)
Visually Enchanted 2.1 (Frost, shock and flame weaponry look more authentic with their own particle effects!)
WeatherWizard (An exceptional add-on quest with its own dialogue and Voice Acting)

Note that Oscuro's mod requires that you restart your game from scratch.

Seperate User-Interface mods:

BTMod (Give your UI a more PC-look without the restrictive large icons and large text)
Color Map Mod (Make the world map more realistically detailed and coloured)

Level Of Detail mods:

Landscape LOD NormalMap Fix (This mod fixes the big dark blocks on the distant LOD landscape)
Landscape LOD replacement textures (Replaces the original 1024x1024 landscape LOD textures with improved 2048x2048 textures)

Hope you all enjoy this little list I put together.

Sorry hx for the swearing.

Oblivion is a TWIMTBP(it doesn't matter that the logo isn't there) that means there are things in Oblivion that ATI can't do or does in it's 'own way'. This review of performance that was just posted on news pretty much shows my state at the 7600 level.. My sliders are at approx 80% maybe a bit more, I don't lag except upon intially load up a city for about 2 seconds, I don't lag outside and I don't lag fighting. I have all the options on and even the highest settings for water. The X800 never came close to these settings. Pff it takes a 1800XT to come close to me.. here $500 for a 1800.. 7600 is cheaper than a X800.. and a 1600 or less.. why even bother?! lol.

You know another thing nVidia kicks ass at? It's drivers and accompanying software. nView is so awesome especially with dual monitors and stuff. nVidia just owns, it's crazy.. amazing how much it's improved since the old days...ATI CCC, god I can't believe I put up with that, chugalug software..

HX, I woudln't use words like that if you moderated your forums and stopped people from attacking me. After all, they never give up. I'm also not the one abusing your site with false accounts. I don't create accounts to simply attack someone..

xxxx, no need to spawn paranoia.
You're just an overly cynical brash fellow that has made it his life long ambition to insult ATI in nearly every game-thread Laughing

I believe that the most important characteristic in a GAME is the GAMEplay (of course), the graphics is nice but secondary form my point of view, I allways set my configuration to best performance because I'm playing a game, no viewing a picture...
So, considering this, the inventory management, spells casting, and other issues looks a little poor or complicated in this game.
I prefer Arx Fatalis, for those that don't played this one, I recommend it, you'll experience better GAMEplay and environment experience in low-end graphics cards.
