I did & I have finished it & even replayed some of it.

But my eventual impressions was that its just not that good because for me the plot looses focus mid way through. The battle system is extremely boring but going from playing the game as a mage to a warrior is quite different, but the battle system is still boring. I didn't really like the music. From the makers of KOTOR the game was very disappointing for me.

another mistake is that I went in expecting an oblivion type exprience but it was something completely different.

Oblivion is like the "FF7" for me for WRPG's (in the metaphorical sense...FF7 isn't even my favorite FF for reference)....oblivion is like the "FF7" for many people as it got lots of non WRPG gamers in the genre. But it definetely did not deserve the hate it got on this site when I joined.....every oblivion thread was derailed by people saying it was dumbed down & so on.

The simple thing is doing side quests for the Mages guild & the Dark Brotherhood were some of the most fun times I;ve had! Oblivion saved my PS3 in its 2007 drought....its the only game I played for months, it was PS3's Best game for the year.

I've just been wanting another "oblivion" and no company has given it to me, its been 4 years now :(

anyway I will be getting ME1 & ME2 soon....I hope I like them.

@first bolded text.

you'll understand why they said this once you play Morrowind (since thats III and oblivion is IV)

@second bolded

eh.. .don't expect something like Elder Scrolls from ME2, its pretty linear like Dragon Age, i think you should go with Fable , The Witcher , Two Worlds and Gothic III , or of course the rest of the Elder Scrolls series

lol are u recommending Two Worlds?

I wouldnt recommend Gothic 3 either TBH. It's a very poor man's Oblivion.

And while it's not a bad game, I don't think The Witcher is at all darth's type of game.

And like u said, Mass Effect is Dragon Age in space.

i am not recommending them , just listing games that have some kind of open world.

I live for the burn...and the sting of pleasure...
I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun...

But Star Wars is my favoritest thing on this planet {pretends to ignore Attack of the clones}

Hehe, how was that controversy again - which of the films did you adore so much (just because it was your first Star Wars lol).?

And u didnt like Attack of the clones?

Episode 1 was my FIRST one & I LOVED IT.....loved the HELL out of it. THe universe, Jedi the whole idea & everything seemed so fascinating at the time. But my dad who took me to the cinemas to see it HATED IT. He said the first Star Wars came out when he was my age & that was far better. So he showed me EPisode 4/5/6

I found Episode 4 pretty boring....but I can appreciate at the time it was revolutionary....but after seeing the Darth Maul Lightsaber battles & so on in EPisode 1.....Episode 4 seemed dull to me. Episode 5 I liked more than Episode 4 much much more it was epic. I liked EPisode 6 too.

but then Attack of the clones was disappointing I was SO hyped for it too.. But hey the best star wars film came after Attack Of The Clones (episode 3....which even veterans agree that its very good).

Episode 3 is to date my favorite film of all time, it had everything I wanted in it & will always be my most hyped PRODUCT/THING of all time.

Does your dog like Star Wars?

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
