There's a new countdown video but I can't download it

Posted by: Curly_G_ Mar 18 2006, 09:34 PM

I couldn't download it, either and now they've taken it off the site for another half hour.
They only seem to release them closer to the same hour everyday.

I've downloaded it, wow big spoiler you see the heir (Brother Martin: yes I'm a priest... do you need a priest?) I was like WTF is that boromir? then i rewinded and saw the name.

Didn't you guys try the mirror sites? 3d Gamers is a good place, just be paitent(or keep refreshing) to catch a place in line. I got em' and watched em' all within an hour of spotting them.

I can't believe they gave the Heir such a stupid name. Wow, the first thing I'm doing in Oblivion is to kill that son of a Bean after he becomes Emperor. Emperor Tiber Septim, Emperor Pelagius Septim, Emperor Uriel Septim and Emperor Martin Septim! All hail your doom! I'm so killing that guy because of his dumb name.

Why do you suggest that the priest in the video is the heir? I surelly don't believe so. I bet there are more people in Cyrodiil that are named Martin.. Or what am I missing here?

Posted by: Agent Griff Mar 19 2006, 12:21 PM

First of all he has Sean Bean's voice. Second of all he even looks like Sean Bean a little. And third of all it's been already confirmed that he's the heir. Martin. It sucks.

Posted by: Bofra Mar 19 2006, 12:36 PM

Well if that's the case it sucks.. Really bad move by Bethesda giving that away like that, two days before release.. I must say I'm dissapointed. But well, I hope the story involves a bit more than just finding the heir, couse that would REALLY be dissapointing.

Posted by: Agent Griff Mar 19 2006, 12:42 PM

Yeah. That was a really bad move by Bethesda. I would have expected better from them than to spoil a part of the game by revealing the heir.

Or knocking him uncouncious more like it.

Of course... there's always the editor.


PS: That's totally the heir, he looks just like the Emperor (he's got the family eye bags!)

And I remember reading you having to deliver the amulet to a monestary in a spoiler review. I don't think meeting the heir is as a momentous occasion as we all thought it would be, they've let too much out for it to be.

Aye, it was wel known he was a monk in a monastery. It's one of the first things you do....so I don't think it's major. It's what you do with him that counts.

Posted by: Bofra Mar 19 2006, 06:33 PM

That's a relief . I would have guessed that Bethesda wouldn't reveal anything mayor in the storyline just like that..

Martin is an illegitimate child, I believe, and doesn't know he's the heir. A normal name for a seemingly normal man.

Posted by: Agent Griff Mar 20 2006, 07:10 AM

It's a normal name for our days. But for the TES universe, it doesn't fit. If he is an Imperial he should have a roman sounding name, like his father or like many other emperors before him. And having a roman name is not for royalty or anything, almost every Imperial has a roman name.

Posted by: Bofra Mar 20 2006, 10:23 AM

I believe Martin is a roman name actually. It's certainly european and it's not jewish, so I believe Martin was an uncommon but still roman name. Not that it matters much..

Posted by: 1234king Mar 21 2006, 05:44 AM

well.....um the priest's hair in the video is a different color than the heirs.

Posted by: DoomedOne Mar 21 2006, 10:06 PM

I knew his name was Martin like 30 years ago, they say it in the cast list, they released that info a long time ago. They say Sean Bean... Martin.

Also, Martin is a suiting name for the chosen one. I mean come on, didn't you ever read Redwall when you were a kid?

I just looked over at IMDB for Sean Bean's role in Oblivion. It says the Lost Heir so it doesn't spoil your experience. On a side note, it says Terrence Stamp's role and that is a big spoiler.

SPOILER DOWN














Terrence Stamp is Mehrunes Dagon. The devs lied, or better said, Stamp lied to us saying that he was some guy from a different line of kings with a different vision of the Empire.
