Oblivion?

[NeuroticSarge]

Righty ho then,I just bought this (along with bioshock for £25 in Tesco-double pack),and was looking for any help/advice?
I thought I'd give i a go as a few of you have harped on about this for a while now and took the plunge.
So,any help? What's the best character to start with?

It doesnt rally matter with Oblivion the game kinda levels up with you. I was a dark elf but I really dont think it makes that much difference
Oblivion is a great game you should enjoy it
Bioshock is fantastic too....I still need to finish it

I've only played the game for a couple hours.  It's the kind of game I need devote myself to, which has been impossible this year with all of the unwrapped games on my shelf and new games releasing.

But I can offer a couple words of wisdom.

1.  Install the game to your HDD.  Trust me.  There are a couple spots in the game that can freeze, which may result in the loss of hours of work.  My friend Slamurai learned that the hard way.  Installing makes the game run much smoother and less likely to freeze.  For the best results, do the following ...

• Insert the game disc in your 360 and start it up.  This should prompt you to download a patch/update.
• Exit the game and return to your Dashboard.
• Install the game disc to your HDD.
• If you have the GOTY edition, remove the game disc and insert the 2nd disc to install the expansions.
• Now you're good to go.

2.  Set the game's difficulty to the easiest/lowest setting.  Difficulty has no affect on achievements, so cut yourself a break.  

3.  I also chose to be a Dark/Blood Elf (whatever they're called).  The ones with blue skin.  I don't remember why, but I know I was very cautious about my decision when I made it.  Keep in mind that each class/race has different strenghts and weaknesses, so choose one that suits your own play style.

I've owned Oblivion twice and could never get past the first 10 minutes, I'm just not in to sword and sorecery stuff. But having played and thoroughly enjoyed Fallout 3 and Fable 2 I'm wondering if I should try and give it another go?

Do it!

[Jaynestown]

I may do, but I've so much else I want to get I'm not sure when I'll be able to afford to get it.

Same as me,but I saw this pack available and thought why not? I have played Bioshock before,but it was a borrowed copy and had to give it back and was always on my to buy list.
I might play Oblivion for 10 minutes like yourself and think this is either sh*t or I'll persivere with it.

JT, I was exactly the same. Played Oblivion for about an hour then never touched it. Then I played Fallout 3, loved it and once I'd finished it I went back to Oblivion and found it so much better, maybe cos I was more used to the controls.

Oblivion is the best game I have ever played. FACT!!! My character is a breton who start off as magic based. I'm sh*t with a sword but i don't need one as my magic is AWESOME.

[NeuroticSarge]

Well,I've give it a go and to be honest,don't like it! I loved Fallout,but this just dosn't float my boat.Sorry!

If I can pick that pack with Bioshock up for less than £20 I might give it another go, but I'm not sure, having tried it twice before, whether I'll get very far with it.

damn you all to oblivion!!!

Finished the Shivering Isles expansion last night and to be honest I was glad it was over. But then after 120 hours it was bound to get a bit stale! 

[TaraJayne]

damn you all to oblivion!!! 

Indeed. I never got sick of Oblivion its awesome. And shivering Isles was a great add on
