I tried out Oblivion yesterday. I was gonna save it for the weekend, but I couldn't resist. And lawdy, based on first impressions (I had gotten out of the sewers and walked around for a bit), it's an awesome game. Some aspects are a handful to master at first, but hot damn. The only downer for me is the lag, even when I'm playing on low texture and the lowest resolution (640 x 480 I think). I think I can look forward to many sleepless nights. <3
Actually another minor quibble is the character creation process-- adjusting the appearance is just way too complicated. With a million sliders and no idea what to do, I spent quite some time trying to make a face that didn't look so much like a pig. Custom faces are nice, but they should also have included some pre-mades as well, as the randomiser sucks spectacularly at making faces. Of course, that's a pretty minor issue, since we don't really see the face in-game all that much.
