With WOW, if some nerd wrote a poorly worded quest (cryptic is ok, incomplete or misleading due to a poor grasp of grammar is another), there was Thottbot to save the day. It made the game 10 times better for me for a few reasons:ġ) Lets face it, we were all spoiled by for WOW, and the strategy guide is pretty much the same thing, but printed out and bound for reading at a coffee shop, over lunch, or while watching some crap DVD that the wife brought home. I hate to admit to this, but about a week after I got Oblivion, I went to the store and bought the strategy guide.
I recommend others hold off until a general bugfix patch is released.
And a game that didn’t hang when you switched to window-mode.Įdit: The game now crashes my system, apparently due to some video driver or performance issue (and I have a decent card: Radeon X800 Pro). If you have more, please let everyone know by commenting. Booooo! Anyway, I found some useful links that I thought I’d post.
There are far fewer for Oblivion, and IGN has decided to charge a subscription for their guide. I’m also used to many dedicated strategy sites, including a few professional ones. Another interesting file type available, surprising because it’s been forever since I’ve played “adventure games”, are saved games! One useful one puts you right after the tutorial (with all possible loot) and right before you choose your final stats. No nifty Lua scripting engine to make UI tweaks easy. Oblivion has many content mods built with their construction set, but very few UI mods. Yes, I’m one of those geeks who reads the manual before he does something.Ĭoming from WOW, I’m used to automated updates and tons of UI mods. Haven’t had much time to play, but was disappointed with the lack of online help and the pamphlet of a manual. For a more detailed review by far better gamers than I (Masterchief and Zbalance) read these comments. Finally picked this up, and am just getting the hang of it.
