| The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion | 2K Games;Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios) | 2006 | Oblivion is set during the Third Era, six years after the events of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, although it is not a direct sequel to it or any other game. The game is set in Cyrodiil—a province of Tamriel, the continent on which all the games in the series have so far taken place. The story begins with the player imprisoned in a cell for an unknown crime. Emperor Uriel Septim VII, accompanied by Imperial bodyguards known as the Blades, arrives in the prison, fleeing from assassins who have murdered the emperor's three sons and are now targeting him. The emperor and the Blades reveal that the player's jail cell contains a secret entrance to a part of the city's sewer that functions as an escape route. Pardoned by the emperor, the player follows the group into the sewer, where they come under attack by assassins. The blade captain is cut down during the fighting that ensues. Knowing he is destined to die by the hands of the assassins, Uriel Septim entrusts the player with the Amulet of Kings, worn by the Septim emperors of Tamriel, and orders the player to take it to a man named Jauffre, the grandmaster of the Blades, at Weynon Priory. Immediately afterward, one of the assassins kills the emperor. The player escapes the sewer and heads out into the open world of Cyrodiil.*** [100]*** [12]***[b]Add-ons:[/b] (DLC) * Knights of the Nine * Horse Armor * Frostcrag * Battlehorn Castle * Mehrune's Razor * Orrery * Thieves' Den * Vile Lair (Deepscorn Hollow) * Spell Tomes [i]Shivering Isles[/i] is also DLC but adds ~30 hours of gameplay and is considered an actual expansion rather than minor add-on.***[b]Performance optimization:[/b] 1) In [code]Oblivion.ini[/code] set [code]iMinGrassSize=130[/code] (default: 80), this makes grass more sparse (the grass is mostly CPU intensive). 2) Disable HDR and use only Bloom effect (HDR in Oblivion is very hackish anyway). In most other games HDR doesn't cause much performance issues nor looks as garish as it does in Oblivion. 3) In [code]Oblivion.ini[/code] set [code]bDSoundHWAcceleration=0[/code] (default: 1, eanbled) if sounds are strange. Anything else is just choosing right quality vs speed trade-off with video settings. [b]Crashes:[/b] 4) In case of random crashes, try running the game on single core.

INT 2009-06-16 on Steam, by Bethesda Softworks (lang: eng) --- GOTY edition, includes Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansions.***Oblivion, when it still wasn't out in the light, held my hopes of redeeming the errors done in Morrowind for the series, but woe it was not to be so. Oblivion is much like Morrowind, except they ruined the beast races' looks even more (though I kinda like it they chose not to use digitigrade legs for them instead of vainly trying to get them to work like they tried in Morrowind - it was a horrible sight if you don't know). Anyways, Oblivion did have many improvements over Morrowind, the graphic mood isn't as happy as in Morrowind, but still needs work to reach what it was In Daggerfall to really suit my taste (Battlespire and Redguard had the mood right, too). The graphic side really had gained some improvement (mostly just tech eyecandy), except the land still looks like it's made of bent plastic like in Morrowind. Unsurprisingly the AI seems to have received extremely little attention, with the opponents blindly rushing in at you or blasting from afar with little regard to tactics or anything else than to attack and.. well.. attack. The last time I saw AI this weak was in Serious Sam, but that game didn't really need it. Still, You'd have expected Oblivion to have something more advanced but no, it seems they ignored it completely. It's also sad that they still rely on level-scaling the opponents to keep the "challenge" up, but that makes the world seem ridiculous since everything becomes tougher with you. So, in the end, you don't kick the ass out of those pesky rats any more easily then than you did when you just started out of the prison, which leaves room to question, what is the leveling there really for? It seems as if you leveling up means the world is becoming more and more dangerous simply because _you_ are becoming better (by around level 20 pretty much every bandit and God knows what is wearing full Daedric armour and weapons all enchanted to the brink with who knows what), raising curious questions about what your character really is to cause such grand change in the order of things. Your actions still go largely unnoticed by others and have little impact on things that you can do, making one wonder what they really did for the series. The story goes on, the series gets better tech, but the gameplay stays the same crappy self from year to year. If they ever decide to make fifth chapter, well... if it looks like nothing's changed from this for the better, then my hope for the series will be gone for good.***Game links: [[link:http://www.tessource.net/ The Elder Scrolls Source (mods)]] [[link:http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/ Planet Elder Scrolls (mods)]] [[link:http://timeslip.chorrol.com/obmm_download.html Oblivion Mod Manager]] [[link:http://jorgeoscuro.googlepages.com/home Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul]] [[link:http://www.tescreens.be/oblivionmodwiki/index.php/Cosmetic_Compilation Cosmetic Compilation (mod for making better looking characters)]] [[link:http://korana.elricm.com/eshme_bodies.htm Eshme's Bodies (better bodies)]] [[link:http://btmod.beider.org/ BTmod (better UI)]] [cjlee001] | labelimagesubject |
| The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Knights of the Nine | 2K Games;Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios) | 2006 | This is actually on level of DLC, adding single (albeit large-ish) multi-part quest to Oblivion. Even Bethesda doesn't call it an expansion (Shivering Isles is the first and only one). [b]How to start[/b]: Speak to the prophet preaching near the chapel in Anvil.***KOTN sets the player on a quest to find an armor of some long-dead holy knight or saint in this expansion. Starting with rumors of a prophet in Anvil, the player is given the quest to go on a pilgrimage to the wayshrines of the Nine Divines to gain guidance to the location of the armor. From there the player journeys across Cyrodiil dealing with the religion of the Nine and expressing their own faith to them until they've finally collected the set. [spoiler=Evil characters?;Hide]There's really no room for evil characters in this expansion as it purely deals with the religious paladin type characters, and since it [i]does[/i] deal with religion that is quite real in the world of Elder Scrolls. So, there's no way an evil character could weasel their way through it (and what kind of evil character would agree to go on a goody-two-shoes kind of pilgrimage in the first place to possibly gain some vague notion where this armor of indeterminable value was located?). I doubt the Nine would allow such to pass the tests (an evil character might pass some which require choices based on info given by mortals, but these are choices they can happily do if it brings them closer to their goal instead of doing them because they're "good"). The gauntlets and the mace are perhaps the most obvious cases where an evil character would never progress (and it'd require metagaming anyway).[/spoiler] I've yet to complete the quest myself, so this is all I could say of it. Still, it's clearly meant for those who want more of the paladin style stuff. And I have to repeat, I don't see how an evil character could be interested in even starting the quest. A bit like a "good" character wouldn't want to do the assassin's guild invitation quest (I dunno who I "murdered" to get it, but I don't recall killing anyone but those who attacked me first; unless backstabbing necromancers counts, but they aggro the moment they notice you).***INT 2009-06-16 on Steam, by Bethesda Softworks (lang: eng) - GOTY edition***Of course there are dozens of player-made quest mods for Oblivion out there, but I believe this is the first official expansion mod. I just finished KOTN and I must say that it was rather disappointing. The story is completely linear and doesn't give any options for evil characters. The quests are very typical go here, get this and go there, kill this types. *yawn* Well, at the very least, KOTN will give modders some new material to work with. [cjlee001] | labelimageminimize |
| The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: The Shivering Isles | Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios) | 2007 | [b]How to start[/b]: Find the door in middle of a lake.

| Fallout 3 | Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios) | 2008 | A spin and rebirth of the saga, brings back a desolate atmosphere but in FPS-packed-action; neverless, the VATS compensates incredibly for the turn-system action. Sadly, the story empowers epicness over good story, with immortal characters an black/white characters in general (there are exceptions) But is important for being the predecessor of Fallout: New Vegas, who is better in every way possible and retakes the old developers of Fallout 1 and 2. 8 de 10***[b]Non-free add-ons:[/b] (DLC) * [url=http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/info/opanc.html]Operation: Anchorage[/url] (2009-01-27) * [url=http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/info/thepitt.html]The Pitt[/url] (2009-03-24) * Broken Steel (2009-05-05) * Point Lookout (2009-06-23) * Mothership Zeta (2009-07-29?)

The plan involves impregnating Asuka, but for some reason he decides he needs to accomplish this by raping her repeatedly while posing as various youkai via "possessing" them (fusing with them). | labelimagesubject |

| Mountain | author | 2014 | At first I read the information on the web about this game and it sounded as if it a neglected niche market that was before tamagochi players and after pet rock owners. I figured a 16K UHD (8640p) 48 inch Electrophoretic Color Display (when these became affordable) framed and hung in my living room would be the best place for it. However, after seeing [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpObFKcyLJ8]David OReilly's presentation[/url] I realized the product has interaction, there are features to unlock, causes to effect. It is on the outside definition of a game. But it is still more of a game than [game=#162665]Narcissu[/game] (which is often accepted as such). And it's minimally subversive (kind of an artistic necessity). I couldn't tell you exactly what, but this guy has probably started something at least as noteworthy as [game=#19073]Kings Quest[/game], [game=#34]Centipede[/game], [game=#173178]Passage[/game], or [game=#107889]Seven Cities of Gold[/game]. However, I'm still looking forward to decorating my wall with this first of the new. "You only live once, buy Picassos whenever possible."

| The Outer Worlds | Private Division (Obsidian Entertainment) | 2019 | The Outer Worlds is a new single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division. Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable. Key Features The player-driven story RPG: In keeping with the Obsidian tradition, how you approach The Outer Worlds is up to you. Your choices affect not only the way the story develops; but your character build, companion stories, and end game scenarios. You can be flawed, in a good way: New to The Outer Worlds is the idea of flaws. A compelling hero is made by the flaws they carry with them. While playing The Outer Worlds, the game tracks your experience to find what you aren't particularly good at. Keep getting attacked by Raptidons? Taking the Raptiphobia flaw gives you a debuff when confronting the vicious creatures, but rewards you with an additional character perk immediately. This optional approach to the game helps you build the character you want while exploring Halcyon. Lead your companions: During your journey through the furthest colony, you will meet a host of characters who will want to join your crew. Armed with unique abilities, these companions all have their own missions, motivations, and ideals. It's up to you to help them achieve their goals, or turn them to your own ends. Explore the corporate colony: Halcyon is a colony at the edge of the galaxy owned and operated by a corporate board. They control everything... except for the alien monsters left behind when the terraforming of the colony’s two planets didn’t exactly go according to plan. Find your ship, build your crew, and explore the settlements, space stations, and other intriguing locations throughout Halcyon. | labelimagesubject |
