Don't have the game yet, but I will get it but first I just want to know how good the game is, I know this is no doubt a stupid topic as im posting it in a oblivion fan forum, but without any bias what are the pros and cons of the game? and once you have your character developed, can you pick up armor etc? as I seen in one of the screenshots you can pick up ''Daedric'' armor which looks pretty bad boat, other question is how is it adapting to most of your systems, is the game running fine etc? Also will this game appeal to a fps player? I play fps games, and one RPG which is FFX.

Also is the strategy guide which you can buy really helpfull for starting off? I have never played any other elder scroll games, I was just told about this one, that it will be really good etc.

Reply to the original poster:

I'm mainly a FPS player myself, although I've switched more to strategy games etc. as I'm getting older.

Morrowind (the TES game that was released prior to Oblivion) was the very first RPG game I tried, as I for some reason had no idea what a RPG game was, and I had no interest in finding out. But it came bundled with a graphics card I bought a few years ago, so I fired it up.

To this day, I have never played another RPG than Morrowind (except Oblivion), and to this day I have never played a better game than Morrowind (although Oblivion is probably going to get in the lead shortly after 2 days of intense playing with my jaw dropped down to the floor).

This game is in fact a FPS, but it's so much more. You can play a single game for months, just walking/riding around exploring the huge map without having set rules or missions like you normally have in a FPS game. You develop your character, and fight bad guys in a FPS style or in a 3rd person view. You can change whenever you like.

You pick up missions on the way if you like, or you can just skip them. Your choice. The gameworld is immense. If you've never played a TES game before, I envy you. You have a great time ahead of you if you buy it.

Btw I've chosen an all magic type of character, and I don't know yet if I'll regret it. I'm a Breton mage class, born in the starsign The Mage. I like casting spells as well as swinging my sword and shooting arrows. Whatever you choose, it's not that important, as you'll get the chance to increase all your skills whatever class or starsign you choose (besides there are console commands that enables you to change whatever you like after you've started playing).

Anyway, try this game out for a while, and I promise you you'll not be able to abandon it for many months! And no, I'm not paid by the developers...

I really do hope a demo is released for this game, as it would gain so many more players. Then again, how do you make a demo of such a huge, completely freestyle kind of game?

Edit: I forgot to say that the graphics and general scenery of this game is more spectacular and beautiful and frightening and overwhelming than any other game you've played - guaranteed! A nice hardware setup is a great help though.
