Was just released today...anyone play it yet? Looks pretty cool to me, was thinking about picking it up for the PC tomorrow.

I've watched my uncle play it and it looks awsome.

Also I think it's Elder Scrolls 4 not 5.

I've got a pre-order waiting for me to pick up after school.

(it is IV, not V, use the roman numerals, it's easy to remember, because oblIVion cointains the roman numeral 4 in the name!)

SOE should have gotten fodderside released first. Now they might as well wait a month for people to emerge from Oblivion before releasing it. Obviously, I have already let my subscription to PS lax in favor of the game....COME ON UPS, DELIVER IT ALREADY!!!! :P

Anyone found any good reviews yet?

... Then again what do I care im getting this game either way.

Are most stores sold out? I forgot to reserve. (I wanna pay with cash so I cant use that Direct2Drive thing.)

Shit, I forgot to deposit my paycheck today. Hmm... maybe I'll use the credit card and do a direct download if I haven't hit my limit yet. Or actually get off my ass and go to the store.

Nahhhh.

Woot, I called 3 places. Two were sold out but the last had one copy left. Its installing now.

Wasnt able to grab it today, be sure to let us know how it is!

The game looks awesome. However I played for a few hours today and I feel drained. The character creation is too complex for my tastes (its REALLY complex) and the game starts out a bit slow. I do have high hopes for it though still.

My only problem with that was finding out how not to make my character an ugly motherfucker.

Its a morrowind game, possible the only stand-alone game I spent more that 70 hours in. Its gotta be decent or better.

OneManArmy · 2006-03-22, 03:09 AM

I love this game so far, only about 3 or 4 hours in but damn. Morrowind didn't interest me at all... but this game has captued me.
