Great vids :) or you can turn the difficulty all the way up in oblivion. That's what I do.

[DWTerminator]

Oblivion's still too easy even when you do that.

People are conservative about this game.. okay I admit this game is fun and older games can be better but why are you sticking on the older ones whats wrong with oblivion? Ofcourse you had your hopes high because games today can be a big disappointment but still Oblivion or morrowind are pretty good. Nothing has changed in a wrong way it is just better. It is almost the same only the ''façade'' has changed. And from what I see this is more of a hack-and-slash than Oblivion and less lore.

[DWTerminator]

This is an old-school dungeon-crawler. Oblivion's an action game with some broken RPG elements. There's a pretty huge difference in mentality. If it's only gotten better, then explain to me why Oblivion is an extremely boring game. Explain how I have no sense of satisfaction upon exploring things, which I had in EVERY previous TES game. Explain why I'm able to go through the entire game without leveling up at all, and have absolutely no difficulty doing so.

And I definitely don't want The Elder Scrolls ever becoming an online game. I don't want what happened to CoD to happen to The Elder Scrolls too. What with all of the annoying 12 year olds.

[DWTerminator]

I'm pretty sure Elder Scrolls only appeals to younger people right now anyway. I'm getting really sick of their "ooo look at the pretty graphics and ignore the broken/mindless gameplay mechanics" approach.

[astralremnant]

I love every tes game up to Morrowind. Morrowind was my favorite, after that everything is a stale feeling.

[PsychoScapeRSPS]

The reason the towns/cities are so random is because everything is randomly spawned when you start the game. For instance those 3 inns probably don't exist on one of your other player's saves.

[UsedToothpick05508]

kind of reminds me of minecraft.

@doomstar1231 it was fun for me only because it was the first elder scrolls game i played, it got boring very very quickly... the only way to make it enjoyable was to mod the crap out of it with monster overhauls and exp mods.

[doomstar1231]

@DWTerminator Oblivion was easy but i still found it fun

[GodOfPlague]

@DWTerminator scaling the enemies and quest rewards to your level killed alot of Oblivions fun because NPCS didn't scale forcing you to do the main quest at low lvls, otherwise forget escort missions, and thus have epi items of sucky stats. I still liked it but the scaling idea sucked hard.

[DrHojo123]

you know you could just right click the door on the shops and that and you should mark them auto i belive

[gringolazlo]

What lets Arena down is having no mouse look. That more than anything highlights its age.

[gringolazlo]

Is it me or do the lizardmen make the same sound as the door guard in castle Daggerfall in TESII:Daggerfall?

[Twigge125]

@MindinViolet hey kids can make mods too, im 14 and i have made a few spell and dungeon mods for oblivion, and a battlemage castle
