co_ray · 31-08-2005, 04:44 PM

When i read the oct. oxm(friend has subscription)i knew it was the game i need to buy...200 hours of gameplay to explore everything...9 cities...150 quests....i just cant friggin wait!!!!

Those are some impressive numbers. Do you need the hard drive to be able to play this game? It would certainly seem like it. Was there a release date mentioned by chance?

VictoryOverWar · 31-08-2005, 04:51 PM

it is supposed to be a launch title

co_ray · 31-08-2005, 05:01 PM

it said "xbox 360 launch day" so this is even better...i just cant wait...i mean its unbelieveable....and i believe the people developing es: oblivion says the knew that a hard drive wasnt going to be standard and it is not required but the "strongly recommend" a hard drive

some other facts include: 16 square miles of game world(above ground only. dungeons not included), 5 types of horses available for purchase, 200+ dungeons, 121 plant types randomly generated in the wilderness areas, 400+ books scattered around the world that you can read, 21 secondary character attributes,8 primary character attributes, 0 of xp points you will earn(skill-bases system), and some weird figure 8 symbol that is sideways next to potential unique character types...i think it means infinite....these a straight from the mag!!!!unbelievable...best game...GOTY hands down!!!

Is it me or does 16 sqaure miles sound a little small?

But otherwise I can't wait for this game

Romper Stomper · 01-09-2005, 01:48 PM

16 square miles on a video game only above ground not including underground is a hell of a lot. It will take at least 1000 hours to complete everything if possible seeing as Morrowind GOTY took 600 hours.

I hope this is a launch title.

And yes co_ray a sideways 8 means infinite. Also if you want to get anywhere in this game you will need a HD, a 64 MB cartridge simply won't do.

small?...thats huge...i mean 16 square miles...thats bigger than anyother game....and the bethesda people said that a hard drive isnt required.but load times will suck and saved games are going to suck too.

happy to read im not the only one excited about this game

co_ray · 01-09-2005, 08:19 PM

im going to pre-order it this weekend...i was actually leaning towards gr3 but after reading the article i said ES: Oblivion. but i may end up getting both

Romper Stomper · 01-09-2005, 10:11 PM

I wish I could afford two games so that I could have one to play multiplayer online with, but meh, I'll be occupied enough for a looooooong time.

sindian · 04-09-2005, 09:27 PM

also like that armor for horses, among other things will be available on xboxlive from the start. There was a really nice picture of some wicked armor that looked black and red, then said something to the fact of having a horse in the same armor...horses can take damage also

G4everX · 04-09-2005, 11:49 PM

I know little on this game, though I did pre-order it. Is it multiplayer, and will it be on Xbox live? Sorry for the ignorance on this game, I've never had a chance to get into Morrowind games before.

Romper Stomper · 06-09-2005, 04:13 PM

I haven't heard about multiplayer online but I'd sure hope so. It's hella fun though.

jt_mares05 · 22-09-2005, 10:04 PM

well im ready to waste another few hundred hours of my life! ES morrowind was the most addicting game i have ever played and i played it through twice, im so stoked to see the new features and what the new graphics will look like, so stoked!

Elder Scrolls games are single player RPG's. If Bethesda made an MMORPG based off Elder Scrolls... Yeah WOW, that's all I'm gonna say.

co_ray · 23-09-2005, 02:07 PM

its not online, but the live marketplace is going to have armor and stuff not available in the game, and other various items

Phouka · 24-09-2005, 04:40 PM

first thing i pre ordered(after the 360) and it is going to be great cant wait for launch day
