Well, there are a few player housing mods that add a player house right off the bat.. but morrowind is 'very' glitchy.. my friend demonstrated by jumping down the stairs and infintely falling into oblivion.. no pun intended..

lol are we actually able to buy a house in morrowind? I just am using this lady's house near the thieves guild hang out. she never comes home anyway, so why not "refurbish" it, with my armor, clothes, and potions. and then theirs the several cave mansions I"aquired"...

If you get high enough in any of the three houses you can build your own stronghold 😄 I was with the Hilalu and built a mage spire 😄 i have my own dungeon 😛

neat, although with all my bumbling i'm sure ive p****d everyone off at this point.

i stole goods, looted the storehouse, killed bad people, freed slaves, stole more stuff, taken over a NPC house, really want to kill certain NPC, and want to burn vivec to the ground. and i hate this talking system. I have GOTY edition for X-box, and it's nice and rarely glitchy. one prob is that it freezes and pauses for long periods.

You can do all sorts of stuff without getting into trouble if you're careful....

Morrowind's unfortunate failing is definitely the irritating freezes.

😱 just don't kill TOO many because you hit someone important and you wont be able to finish the game 😮 i had to restart twice 😗 i hope Oblivion is smooth droolio and not as glitchy

To all those that are waiting for this game I would suggest that you play the other agmes in the series before you get this one, the first one is called The elder scrolls Arena, and it
's EXTREMLY IMPRESSIVE sonsidering the age that is, it's 3D and it came out in 1994 its so ****in big, if there is anyworld gaming world that is that can be compared to the Warcraft world it's the Elder Scrolls and probobly also the Might And Magic world, that one is probobly a bit bigger but thats only because it has 9 games int the series! anyway get the firsts Elder Scorlls called 'The elder scrolls Arena' and then get the 2nd one called The elder scrolls Daggerfall, and then play Morrowind along with all the expansions

Everytime I see morrowind2 screens I can't shake the feeling of me that it is usuing the unreal3 engine, the lighting looks almust identical and it has that much need 'round' look to all kinds of things, rocks and so on.

OMG is huge! I was reading this from IGN:

Oblivion is an expansive world with gameplay measured in the hundreds of hours
and not the tens. With more than 200 handcrafted dungeons, 1,000 non-player
characters, and 60,000 lines of spoken dialogue, the game play is essentially
endless.

Question: Can you play as a 3rd person RPG? (Like Fable and KOTOR)

The view is interchangeable between first and 3rd person

Thanks SaTsuJiN! Now I'm really interested in this game.

Oblivion is going to be larger then morrowind if you can imagine... also they are getting rid of the crossbow and darts 🙁 because they are concentrating on bows as the main ranged weapon... giving us a quiver AND arch trajectories on arrows!!!! 😱 ( there was only one crossbow and crapy darts in morrowind anyway 😛 ) ... horse transport is suppose to make it WAY faster in travel 😄 (morrwinds drawback was travel time 😖 )

characters will live their own lives day in day out, eat, sleep, steal, hunt have convos with other people. ANYTHING you can name they will do. they will even die of old age. they will never have the same convos with people. each time you start a new game it changes. never will it end the same way as any other time. cut down a tree and it will grow back over time. anything is possible now. 💃 I MUST GET IT NOW OR I SWEAR I'M GUNNA GO CRAZY!!!

"Find him and close shut the Jaws of oblivion"

This game looks so great. And i dont even like RPGs that much. The graphics are the best on any game i've seen so far.

If It is like Morrowind was it will be a long game... which is just the way I like it.

I don't want this to die!

I'm really psyched about the gameplay!

This time, there is no roll-of-the-dice-to-hit thingy. (D&D rules is sooo yesterday)

When you swing your weapon, the angle and the speed+timing determines what damage you do.

Same thing with blocking. 😄

If you pick up the recent XBM issue there is a demo (not playable) of Oblivion. Is just friggin sweet! The game play, visuals, music, backgrounds, loading time...is just superb!
