Oblivion: The Elder Scrolls IV?

I have never played it before, or really much of any RPG games like this. Is it fun? Id like a game where I can just run around and fuck off when I'm bored and stoned, like slash civilians and break into their houses and shit. LOL.

Is this game fun for free roam shit like that or does anyone have recommondations?

What is your console? PC, PS3, 360?

If you're on a console, I'd get a better free roam game like Red Dead Redemption.

If you're on a PC, you can have tons of fun with Oblivion using mods and such. If possible get the edition that comes with the official plugins + Shivering Isles. I've beaten Oblivion at least 100 times and Morrowind 100 times before that. They're definitely RPG's, but you are given great amounts of freedom in the order you tackle quests and such.

I've got the console version and it's still fun as hell. The plugins would be badass but it's still a good game without them. That game's all about free-roam. I like to get baked and venture the world.

I recently downloaded it again, don't play it much, maybe once a week.
But it's good fun. I've got like 90+ mods.

I don't find making combat characters that fun anymore. Now I just make really strange characters.

My current character class is Gypsy, main stats Agility and Personality.
Main skills

Acrobatics
Armorer
Hand to hand
Illusion
Light Armor
Mercantile
Sneak

I'm lvl 7 and weak as shit. With the difficulty a little above medium.
I enjoy the game more when your a weakling.

You can do everything you pretty much said in the first post. Plenty of quests, and when you're finished with those you can mod your game and get even more quests. It's an awesome game and has great replay value. I think I've logged somewhere around 1000 hours with all of my characters.

haha this game is the shiiiiit. The only issue is adjusting the its style if you havent played elder scrolls o a similar style game... the leveling is mega confusing at first..as you can gain like 50 levels in various attibutes and not actually gain a level...making the game easy as the enemies get stronger as your total level increases... it has soo much customization in the plot and how it all goes.... its so intense.... and you can do whatever the fuck you want after you get strong enough..... just avoid vampires...at all costs DO NOT get bitten, the quest to return to normal is such a bitch and you can not go out in day light lol

That's no joke. That chore was almost as much a bore as real chores.

Yeah but you get to help Count Hassildor of Skingrad, and he seems like a pretty cool guy.
Isn't that reward enough?

wouldnt it be cool to be bit by vampire because i can go suck people's blood though? or is there some type of meter and if you don't keep feeding yourself enough blood u die

Best RPG ever! Seriously you will not be dissapointed in this game. Its sounds like this is exactly what you are looking for. Awesome to play when baked and to fuck around. The game is absolutly massive and there is always something to do.

It's kinda lame actually. All you do is suck someone's blood when they're asleep, and I think you have to do it once a day. If you don't do it, then all of your vampire abilities get stronger, as do you. The one downside to this is that the sun continues to do more damage to you. If you continue to go without blood then you get the best vampire abilities, but the sun kills you in one hit.

Actually being a vampire has a lot of perks. It increases a lot of your abilities, and if your vampirism get serious (there's different levels of vampirism) you get pretty big boosts. BUT, you can't go outside during the day, which is a pain when you want to wait or have to do long quests and don't go out early enough in the night.

Just not worth it once you start getting to higher levels.

ah, ofcourse didn't think about sunlight, DUH *face palm* ill prob be walkin around newbish and stoned and get bitten anyway lol.

The perks are nice.... but usually when your at a point where being a vampire is no good, your way beyond what those perks can do haha, I got bit after beating the theives guild, and dark brotherhood so i had every perk it had to offer already pretty much.... i was always confused as to why the people you bite...never become vampires..... you should be able to infect the entire game lol

For a second I thought you said, pretty big boobs.



In one file I went to sleep in the bed on the floor of the arena blood works. And got bitten in my sleep.
I swear to God it had to be that half breed scum the Gray Prince.

The vampire part isn't so bad, though I guess I had a bunch of filled grand soul gems so it wasn't a big deal for me. Though oddly, you get stronger as a vampire by not feeding in this game (it only prevents the sun damage). The only thing I hate in this game is fighting trolls...those things can take a beating and outrun anything.

Hmm...maybe I'll play it again today. I was just starting a new character.

the other downside to not feeding is your stats are altered to you can take barely any physical damage without getting crushed, but, you do become almost impervious to magic of any kind

I forgot to mention that I'll be playing on PC
what are some must have patches/mods i should get right from the get go to make the game the most fun?
