My husband got Elder Scrolls: Oblivion because he was a big fan of Morrowind. I myself, not so big a fan, but only because I never really got into the game. He carefully researched and got a new video card recommended by the game requirements, an Invidia 7800GS. I wouldn't play this game unless you had a video card & processor capable of handling it. Otherwise it's move the cursor, wait a minute, move the cursor, etc.
Now that being said, it is positively one of the most fun games I've played in a long time. I never really got into Morrowind or any of the other elder scrolls games. I recognized that they were fantastic games, but I never really enjoyed them. I have taken the computer away from my husband. From the minutiae of detail you can infuse into your character, to the AI response to your actions, the scope of the landscape.. the weather changes, the leaves moving.. the deer prancing in the distance that you can actually hunt.. It's amazing.
I've only done one or two of the quests.. and just started roaming into one of the many little dungeons. I thought it would just be bandits, but got farther down and started finding secret caverns.. light play is amazing. I stumbled into an underground chamber and was amazed by the lighting and the details.. until the bones started walking towards me. It was eerily creepy and wonderfully immersive.
I definitely would recommend this game for the PC for the module creations as well. I look forward to getting player made modules off the internet and seeing what other people are enjoying about this game.
10/10

I've started a lot of video games, generally after sitting and watching my husband play them first.. They always look so fun, but once I start playing them, I just get bored.
My husband was playing Thief1 & 2 when they first rolled out.. I started both, but never finished. By the time I got to the 2nd chapter, boredom set in, and I just never got immersed in it. I did however, get immersed into some of the wonderful player made modules made for this wonderfully open sourced game.. there is a whole cultish following out there still making wonderful missions for this game.. but I digress.
Thief 3 was given to my husband for his birthday by a gleeful daughter and myself. He never picked it up.. Never had time to, between blogging and Doom 3, which was a family event at the time. So, about 4 months ago, I decided to give it a go..
By the second location, I was hooked. Completely immersed in the character as FPS. The sounds were fantastic.. The loading times were long but they were also in the first two. I mean, look at the scope of each section.. might take a minute for your computer to get a handle on it. I did the whole faction thing too. That has to be the coolest addition to the game. And I was seriously creeped out by the cradle.. I wound up killing most everyone in the game.. didn't get all the loot, but had a heck of a good time. Ask my husband, who had to endure listening to cut scenes over and over while I reloaded and tried it a different way..
Hehehe.. it is so good, that this girl with the attention span of a ferret, is giving it another go... with the intention of not killing a single person. *sigh* it's already taking longer, but hey.. as a master thief, I should never be seen until I'm at my fence.. as the guard would say as he's re sheathing the sword "must have been the wind"..
