Elder Scrolls Oblivion: First Impressions
by William Talley, filed in Games on Apr.04, 2006
It’s rare that I post something not related to $20 GOTY, but this is a special occasion. Morrowind was one of my favorite titles on the original Xbox, and it’s sequel pretty much addresses everything I didn’t like about Morrowind. From the combat, to the menu, to travel, and the skill system, everything has been overhauled %100. The best thing I found early on is that the intro sequence, in which you have to escape from prison behind the ill fated emperor (who is voiced by Patrick Stewart), gives you a chance to try out each of the skills available. When you reach the end, you can change anything you want. Anything you can think of, it’s in here, from stealth, to destructive magic, to marksmanship. The only thing I don’t like is that the construction kit available on PC isn’t available here, but oh well. Hopefully the downloadable content will offer us some interesting stuff.
