TES4: Oblivion

Hey all! I am about to purchase a copy of a nice single-player RPG game called Oblivion. I just have a few general questions about it.

1) Do some of the monsters respawn... or can you kill everything in the world?
2) About how large is the world, compared to Morrowind?
3) Are there any total-conversion mods, ie put you in a different world, start you out differently, etc?

Thanks in advance!

Peace

1. Just like Morrowind Monsters respawn and as you increase in level the monsters change.
2. The world might be a bit smaller and there are definatley fewer towns but it's big enough that having space to roam isn't a problem.
3. No, although I'm someone will eventually create one for the PC.

Crap Morrowind is even bigger? In my opinion it takes WAYY too long to traverse the world of Oblivion even on horseback...

Quick travel. SW corner of map POOSH NE corner 2 seconds

The game really had no challenge.. it gets pretty brainless once you play it for maybe fifteen hours or so and the levelling becomes readily apparent and all the dungeons start to look the same (3 different types, fundamentally)

Brainless after 15 hours? You must not be playing the same game. I'm fifty hours deep and havn't even scratched the surface. This game is great. Not without flaws, but definetely a great game.

I really HATE the battle system... I've only been playing for a couple hours but the battles really suck because I can never tell half the time if I hit the enemy or not until like 5 seconds later. His health bar wont go down after like 5 hits then suddenly it drops in half on the 6th hit. Also I've gotten too used to first person shooters that using the mouse to command a sword just feels too awkward and uncoordinated because of the delay from when you press the button to when the sword actually hits the enemy. Shooting the bow is cool but does crap damage to justify it.

Meh, I've played it on my friend's XBox 360, and I've had loads of fun in a 3 hour time period. Well, what you guys say sounds even better. Just two questions now.

1) What was up with that guy in the screenshot??
2) How well will a 2.16GHz Intel Dual Core, 2GB RAM, and nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GTX (I'm not sure if it's 512mb dedicated or 512 TurboCache....) run Oblivion? Medium-high settings?


Thanks again!

well...1900xtx, 2gb ram, x2 3800+ got me ~35 fps average in that area near the bottom of that snow covered mountain at 1650x1080 full everything except self shadows and the other shadows, so im guessing ull get the same. my fps inside that town at certain locations was around ~25 though. i had the chuck patch hdr+aa though so i dunno if that affected performance

That's why you use fast travel.
