The First Thing You Felt About Oblivion (or Morrowind), ... When you were a Newbie. Options

[ureniashtram]

Title says it all. What was the first thing you felt about Oblivion(or Morrowind) after playing for the first time? For me, I was lost and amazed. The view, forests, lakes.. It was simply amazing that I broke 20 hours in my first playthrough.

Also made a couple of mistakes.

First, I mistook the Roxey Inn, THE ROXEY INN, for the goddamned Fighters Guild. Probably because there was a Legionnaire and the Breton and his crew. The Innkeeper giving out the bounty for the necromancer's head just about made a fool out of me.

AND, mistaking Bruma for Bravil. Ha! I also took the Atronach birtsign for an Orc, 'cuz it looked cool and all that stuff. Got turned into a vampire the second I entered Barren Cave.

How about you guys? What sort of newbie mischief did you make when playing OB or MW for the first time? List 'em all!

My first ES game was in fact Oblivion and it wasn´t like anything I´ve ever played before. I was completely amazed and absorbed by it! Coming from a linear, one-tracked game like Doom 3 I was relieved I could avoid fighting by hiding or running away. I could even get help from the guards! And best of all, no more stupid jump-scares!

I loved everything about Oblivion, especially coming from regular FPS games and semi-RPGs like Deus Ex. You could buy and sell in real shops, explore wherever you wanted, steal, place bets in the arena or even participate yourself! The total freedom I was offered in the world of Cyrodiil quickly made the game my number one right beside Deus (or slightly above). Not to mention the serenity and calmness brought forth by the beautiful forests and incredible music
