I'm afraid there is no personal input from me because I've never played any of them!
I recommend, if you go this route, to do several things.
1. Also purchase Morrowind.
2. Purchase all expansion packs for both games.
3. Do a little bit of reading online about the first two games (Arena and Daggerfall).
Now please bear in mind that you do not have to do any of these three things, but #1 and #2 will give you access to another game and a whole lot of new content for both of them. #3 is the least necessary, since no understanding of the existing story or universe is required, and indeed, the games are by no means direct sequels to each other.
Incidentally, I should point out that Oblivion is rated M for, among other things, "Nudity" that it does not, in fact, contain.
Even with the graphics turned low, mods to get low poly grass, and a decent enough graphics card, Oblivion still ran like an interactive slideshow.
Other than that, and the psycho woman who kept trying to kill me every time she saw me, even days afterwards, after I accidentally went on her pirate ship, the game's pretty good.
Pokemon: According to my brother, it's exactly the same as every other Pokemon game, but with DS graphics. Haven't played any of them so I can't comment myself.
FEAR: No idea about it.
my set up is
core 2 duo t5500 1.66/1.67Ghz
nvidea geforce go 7400 256mb
1gig ram
running vista ultimate
(pretty good for £630 inc norton 360 and bag)
i ran it through system requirements lab and got above recommended
I thought it was too short. Morrowind was much bigger. Much more to explore and figure out
I actually was disappointed with Oblivion. It's a good game, but they didn't keep a lot of the promises they gave before the game was released. Like, if you watch the Oblivion - Gameplay Demo (Part 1 - 5) on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUtvj_pqxvs for the first part) one sees a number of features he present which were dropped in the final version.
Also, there were certain things from Morrowind which annoyed me, which they didn't fix in Oblivion. They fixed some other issues from Morrowind though.
what sort of settings do you recommend then
i can run UT2004 perfectly highest settings(very high fps) and broken sword 4 full settings (if that helps at all)
EDIT: i have now ordered it along with a new copy of HTR (lost original copy) and have looked at some other forums with images and it looks like if i run it at minimum settings i should get a very decent framerate
It tends to get quite repetitive after a while. Especially with all the cave hunting. "Kill 10 000 more creatures, loot 50 more caves, and you may get another level up". Still, I would say Oblivion is an enjoyable game, if one is into that type of games.
It doesn't beat Morrowind, though, even though Morrowind had some of the same "issues" related to repetitiveness. Still, I had a better time playing through Morrowind than playing through Oblivion, probably because of all the Oblivion gates. I used to hate those places. But Morrowind has aged a bit, so I'm not sure if a new player would enjoy it as much as I did when I played it 3-4 years ago.
so i'll start fairly low and increase it as much as possible graphically till it is as high as it can go with a decent frame rate
You are not alone. In unrelated news, I'm installing Bioshock now. It's very exciting.
like fable then
i'll look to get that as well in the near future (or after season 2) and it is both the expansion and the original
thanks for the advice
Bought Morrowind the day it was released. Played maybe 3 hours, feeling very disappointed after the magic of daggerfall. Then my attention was caught by Duke Nukem Manhattan project, which I finished shortly after, then something else came up, then I made a run through System shock 2 again and something else. Short and the long being that next time I tried to push a bit further on Morrowind it had been released in a package with the two expansions, at a third of the original retail price. Happens too often for me so often end up playing what I got and getting things as they hit the bargain bin unless it's something I've been waiting for.
Bioshock was an almost buy for me. If the copy protection scheme hadn't been drawn to my attention it probably would've been. For now I will wait it out and see if they compromise and go from baby murdering/eating protection level to maybe a light massacre level.
