OT: Elder Scrolls: IV

[Kamog]

Wow, beautiful preview videos. I have never played any of the games in the Elder Scrolls series, but I think I'm going to start! Very impressive.

I'm going to have to buy a new computer though. Right now I'm using an AMD 800 MHz , 512 MB RAM machine and it's getting kind of outdated. Some games run pretty slow. The new games probably won't run at all...

... dinosaur dimension?
/me has horrid flashbacks to Super Mario Bros: The Movie

Yay someone got the reference lol

I actually kinda liked that movie and all heh I mean it was a fun "popcorn flick" definately not something to see for a serious movie heh.

Anyway yeah Dinosaurs turned into Daedra and Dramora and wham bam OBLIVION

I look foward to this one, I had fun with Morrowind but I got a bit bored after I became invincible and could just pimp slap anyone that got in front of me lol Except for the Her Hands. Regular High Ordinators were not a problem unless they teamed on me lol

A cheaper idea might be an Xbox for $150 (maybe MUCH less when the 360 comes out) and a copy of Morrowind game of the year edition for $30. Thats about 2000+ hours of gaming goodness for under $200.....

Considering how well done the Morrowind storyline is, I'm not worried.

(Look at it this way: 'SE5? What's up with that? Conquering the universe? Havn't we seen that story before?)

Well thats true, its all been done before. I just wonder who built the gates of hell, because they need to be fired. I wouldn't use them to build a deck on the back of a house...

This will prevent you from playing all those mods, which sucks, and he needed to upgrade for Oblivion and other games anyways.

[Atrocities]

Will 360 play older X-box games?

[Fyron]

It is alleged to be capable of such backwards compatibility.

[Caduceus]

In one of the quirkiest moves yet, 360 should play XBox games, but the wording of this is nebulous at best when you check the news releases. The general opinion is that it will play most of their "blockbuster/platinum" games, but might not some of the others.

I would wait and see what problems folks are having after the release in 3 weeks.

EDIT If you haven't played it yet, get GOTY edition of Elder Scrolls 3 with the 2 add-on packs (might not want to install them until you have a good idea of how things work). That's 20 bucks well spent for gameplay.

Feh look Hordes from Oblivion are not hordes from HELL it's an Alternate dimension AT BEST because we've all fought Dadra before and they are hardly demons from hell if anything they're from a Dinosaur dimension

Anyway what do you want Hordes of Aliens? Hordes of Angels (cause Angels ain't gonna happen without so many people taking offense it wouldn't be funny).

Oh and I agree with everyone else Morrowind was so well done I don't doubt they'll have any issues here

I concur about the daedera and that ES4 will be worth about $1000 bucks in upgrades, but have youever played Disgaea, Hour of Darkness? You are the Overloard Prince of the Underworld, a dark land full of deamons and monsters, you get to controll them all. You're enemies are the angels(not all of them, just a few evil angels) and other Overlords. Very good strategy role playing game for PS2, funny as hell.

Then you and me must have different ideas of what is funny.
