I have an AMD 1800+ with and Nvidia6600 videocard, 1GB of memory. You can play, you just need to play around with video settings and look around for updates for your videocard. There are a bunch of tweaks out there that will increase performance a lot and really don't do muc to make the world look less beautifull. You may have to put up with medium or low setting here&there, maybe change your resolution to a lower setting, but then, what is it, about the game or the graphics. For me its about the content of the game, graphics are a nice plus, but you can most likely play if you tweak here&there. Good luck.
Wether someone does or does not like the game is a personal choice. That you do not think much of Oblivion doesn't mean no one thinks much of it. So before you start telling people not to pretend it is a great game, keep in mind that it is all personal, you don't have to like what I like, and vice versa.
Women do play games. I can tell you that because I am one. I've toroughly enjoyed MorrowinD myself, and the same goes for Oblivion. By no means do I have a high end PC and a lot of the things people seem to complain about on here is performance. I'm having no problems at all in that area. (AMD 1800+, Nvidia 6600, 1gb memory) Personally I've never tried multiplayer, don't think I'd enjoy it. I don't like teamwork and would rather play on my own, when I want and do what I want and games like MorrowinD and now Oblivion are excellent for that.
I do play online against people, think, Elite Force holomatch, and people do complain I never participate in chatting with eachother, well when I am in a game like that I'm there to kick some ass, not to stand around chatting. I will use messenger for that kind of thing.
What is wasting time anyway? If you feel like you're wasting time playing a certain game, you are. But it is only a waste of time if you decide that it is. Who said life was about dating? Ugh. I feel that hanging around in pubs scoring the latest "babe" or whatever you go for is more of a waste of time. Spending money on booze that you will throw up at the end of the evening and waking up next to someone who makes you regret the night before. Nahh.. I'd rather play Oblivion and have some fun doing all kinds of fun things that I like to do regardless of what other players might feel I need to do.
And my husband doesn't mind the time I spend at my pc either, he's right next to me working on his own pc.
For me Oblivion is a long awaited sequal to MorrowinD, the type of gameplay is obviously the same as MorrowinD is part of the same planet/country whatever you want to call it. I like that some things have changed but the overall feel of the people and the storylines is comfortably similar.
