The world is so dull, but the real thing I hate is how everything is just so shiny because of the Unreal Engine. The characters are very ugly too, I mean all of them, and the same voice actors voicing every single NPC in the game breaks immersion. I'm always like "Wait, I talked to that guy befo... oh wait, no, it's just the same voice actor again!" I guess the music is OK... very Bethesda and fantasy like though. Also, how long is the main quest? 5-6 hours if you set the battle difficulty to medium (if I recall correctly). Then... what's next? You do sidequests just to get pieces of armor and weapons that you won't even be able to use in Elder Scrolls V anyways? What can you do with overpowered equipment if you can't even show them off online or something. I mean, what's the point? I must say I'm not a fan of fantasy and the medieval time that much in the first place, but I must also say that I had no trouble playing Dragon Age: Origins. I seriously wonder why. o_O With that said, an Elder Scrolls online could be great and there would actually be a reason to play the game. Also, I would be willing to try the game again, but on PC this time around. There must be a way to turn off the shiny-ness in the .ini files and mods could probably change the character models and some of the environments. |
Oblivion doesn't use the Unreal Engine. It's got Gamebryo, an open-world game engine. And I love the HDR in Oblivion!
