Its an amazing game but a system hog, I got mine from Game shop preowned £24. I can't run everything on max with my system as my graphics aren't the latest but I still run HD with most settings high, its the numerous shadow settings that cause a slowdown. Just wondering thru the forest on a horse is magical as every leaf & blade of grass is swaying in the breeze & with all shadow options enabled inc. diffused it is awesome, I am so taken with this game I am considering a mobo & graphics upgrade so I can see it at its best

Have you played Morrowind before? If yes, what did you like about Morrowind or disliked?.

It's clearly a Morrowind successor but it also has important changes especially for people who played the old game

Oblivion is my first RPG game for a PC, and I'm enjoying it a lot. Give it a try, you won't hate it.

If you hated morrowind, then you might like Oblivion. Oblivion cuts out all the walking, and dumbs down a few things to make it more streamlined and user friendly, wich I was not all that happy with. To be honest, I liked walking everywhere, you never knew what you would find, and to me, seemed to be that morrowind had a bigger game world.

Do yourself a favor and download some mods if you are going to get oblivion, out of the box it has quite a few flaws, mostly with the leveling and scaling system. If you wanted to you could beat anything in oblivion at level one, and I don't mean with the best gear or anything either, which makes the game seem less epic.

When I took a break from playing about 2 months ago, I was using 20-30 mods, and then it REALY made the game begin to kick ***.
