Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
Who has it? I got it last night and was playing it for an hour and would have to say it's fantastic (I know I know I was playing a short while). Unbelievable draw distance (can see for miles).

Yeah, that's the first thing that struck me: the draw distance is incredible! Those vistas outside of the Imperial capital--woo!
Well, I deleted my archer-orc, cause I kept switching to my melee weapon. Guess I'm a warrior at heart. Once I beat the game, I'm definitely going to try a mage, though. Don't get me wrong, though: I love what they did with archery. Seeing your character draw the bow/seeing them stick into stuff/being able to pick them up.

God, I am having so much fun. Chorral is a great town and the county surrounding it is amazing. Just finished a creepy mission in the town south of Chorral - the dilapidated town hidden in the forest.

trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,

Notice that I don't have 3.0 GHz. Nevertheless, mine runs great on medium with bloom lighting and 2x anti-aliasing. Relative to Morrowind, Oblivion's engine is far more optimized and flexible. Having less bugs helps, too.

Oof! I think those are the biggest system reqs I've seen yet. I think it's time to shell out for a new video card, I get the feeling something's gone wrong on my 9600 as my frame rate seems to have dropped off siginificantly in the last month or so.

I've taken the plunge and now have a Radeon 9800 XT and 1.5 gb RAM winging its way to me. The XT should do me for the next year or so, as it's performance is only very slightly below that of the X700 Pro. Not sure if my Mainboard is going to choke it though, so I'm going to have to do a bit of benchmarking somehow. I'm also trying to locate a reasonably-priced Athlon XP 3000 on eBay, though I'd sooner have the 2800 with the Thoroughbred core as it's a faster chip for gaming. Very rare though.

Hmm i doubt my pc could run this, i think i only have 512 RAM.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.
