Elder Scrolls Oblivion Gold
Gamespot has word that Bethesda's upcoming release Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has gone gold. It is due out on the 20th. They also have a rundown on some gameplay. From the article: "In true Elder Scrolls fashion, you start Oblivion rotting in a jail cell. Don't worry--Oblivion plunges you into the action and story faster than any Elder Scrolls game to date. We'll get into some minor spoilers here, though many of the following facts have already been revealed publicly. Once again you'll play as a character burdened by destiny to save the world, this time from a demonic invasion from the hellish plane known as Oblivion. Before you know it, you'll go from the dungeon cell to exploring a dank underground, killing rats and assassins while also getting some welcome introductory exposition from Emperor Uriel Septim VII, voiced by Patrick Stewart himself." I know I don't normally mention gold releases, but I'm really looking forward to this one. You know a guy is committed when he buys new RAM for a game.
Will the game still be trivially easy?
it being a game which is to date the best example of being made for the dumbest person possible. It won't require you to think at all, just follow compass and all will be fine. don't worry about running out of magic, which would prevent you from casting your uber spells. your mana regenerates like wolverine's skin. After that you can spend the rest of the level sneaking around like solid snake while wearing full plate mail. it's games like this that has made me realize it's just isn't worth it to pay 50-60 dollars for a game anymore. especially since this one will require uber hardware just to get the best out of the few hours it's fun to play. mod me down if you want, but if i wanted to play a game like this i can go next door and play with their kids free of charge.
