That's funny, most posts I see on the oblivion boards are asking for mods to shrink the UI down from its "fisher price" sizing...
For those who can't stand the level scaling, there are quite a few promising mods that are aggressively fixing the problem:

Right now I'm using the one by Iyachtu, which seems to be the least drastic of mods.
The standard UI is pretty small as it is and made fast travel alot of work scrolling the map to where you want to go. Only thing that can be considered large was the font and the UI mod also uses a smaller font with larger window area.
I don't mind gobies with drawven axes and bandits with drawven warhammers just more money to sell, In one of the the oblivion gates i found a nice longsword of brittleness which I think its an enchanted ebony longsword.

If you do get it for the pc make sure you get the UI mod. The standard UI is too small but the mod enlarges it so its eaisier to see.

Thats what I was thinking, a PreRendered Intro.

K im having way too much fun with the physics system. Some of the traps is realy cool like one ruin northeast of anvil has a wall of spikes that move down a catwalk when your on it.
My only gripe is bodies don't get cut in half if you like close a gate instead it gets stuck where the door presses into the wall like in this screenshot I took. Its bit cool having a headless zombie hanging down from its hand, also if you noticed theres another one in the corner.
edit: made it brighter so its easier to see.

That is this game's (and Morrowind's) blessing and it's curse... it is so open that people like me who are constantly looking for ways out of the chains that common games put on you it's manna from heaven but the same openness causes a lot of people to quit playing feeling there is no "direction". I think that is why I loved Morrowind and I'm starting to love this game... the direction is up to you.
When I play games on the PC I'm always clawing at the walls of my cage like a rat... meaning I always try to do things in the game that I want to do, not neccessarily what the game wants me to do. Be it trying to shoot my teammates, trying to "get out of the maze and see what's behind it" to trying to open doors and go into places I can't go. When I was a kid I was that kid who would see a tree limb and try to climb up there, I'd see a ledge on a rock face and see if I could get up there. When it comes to games I feel cheated when I can only take one path, take one direction, only be the good guy or bad guy. There are so many greys, so many inbetweens left unexplored. Call me a rebel but RPG games like most of the japanese ones that coddle you and handhold you, limit you to only doing what they want you to do, really make me not want to play RPGs. It's the openness... the direcitonlessness of it that I love. I feel the game lets me do whatever I want to do, it does not preach to me to play it only one way like most games today do. Oblivion is a game I feel is purpose made for you to "get lost in". Simply exploring the countryside, picking things, seeing the deer jumping around, watching the trees sway... the simple exploration is great. Then finding a temple or a cave or something is all gravy. Putting the shackles of order and direction on it would make it like everything else out there.
I agree, there's very little actual role-playing in Japanese RPGs. But like I said, I think Morrowind was just a little too open-ended for me. At least I have a clearr-cut objective.
In my opinion, though, the game that struck the best balance between freedom and direction was Neverwinter Nights. The Hordes of the Underdark expansion was even cleverly written so that even an evil character would have motivation to take up the quest (drow stole my stuff).
I even have a "high tilt" system, too... or so I thought.You'd be suprised what is and isn't "high tilt" anymore. I'm running the Windows Vista beta, and Vista will give your PC a rating (obstensibly, so that in the future a game might just say something like "needs a 5 or better to run). Now, I know I have a crappy video card (NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 440, 64mb), but the rest of my system (2.6GHz Pentium 4 with Hyper Threading, 1.5GB RAM) should be pretty good, right? Apparently not... Vista gives my computer a 1 (out of 10). Well, I was planning on building a new one next year...
In the end I think the only massive standout difference between the XBox and PC version is the question "Are you more comfortable with a controller or a mouse/keyboard?"Well, I don't think that's all of it. I think there's also, "Do you want to spend time installing it now and have it run fine later, or do you want to just pop it in whenever at the expense of some nasty load times later?" Or "do graphics look crisper on your monitor, or did you invest in a HDTV?"
Personally, especially since I'm dicking around with Windows Vista, I'm not inclined to do any hardcore gaming on my PC right now. I went for the 360 version, and I don't regret it.
Don't forget the pc version has more mods you can install and usualy free when from talanted fanboys who knows how to do stuff like that.
The games been just out and there already is two mods you can use.
Those with the xbox360 one with problems with slow load times.
@http://elderscrolls.filefront.com/news/Xbox_360_Load_Times_QuickFix;25861A few people have complained about the long load times on the xbox 360 version of Oblivion. The game uses the harddrive extensively to cache data. The slowdown is often caused by the cached data being overly fragmented. To solve this problem, reset your Xbox, and hold down the A button as the game is booting up, which will clear its hard drive cache, and create a new one. Once you see the Bethesda Softworks logo video, the game is already loaded, and the cache should have been cleared. This does not affect any save games.

Whats your strength at jsarclight? I have to leave bunch of loot when im raiding haunted areas.

Oddly I can play it fine on my laptop which only is a amd3k64 with a 64mb ati9600 (mins says 128) but I never got into any weird corruption icons that guys is getting.
I do like they natualy support wide screen resolutions instead of stretching them.
The first obvlion gate was wicked for me, by the time I got to the end to close it down most of my armor was broken and my steel longsword was almost gone thankfully being a spellsword the frozen touch spell really helped... plus looting dead bodies for the armor and weps helped too.
Has anyone been playing with the phyisic engine? I been noticing I like to try to throw things around and grab bodies and put them in funny poses (sounds kind of demented I know
) oddly only flame astroches the ones I can pick up off the ground throw them about an inch, rest I can move the limbs and head. -
Meh I don't swing that way. nothing wrong with trying to suduce your captian but I don't think global or max would stick with you the next morning.

I seen that pop up on several sites over the last two years. I don't exactly buy into much at this moment unless like a giant ship hyperspaces in seven years ago and crash somewhere in the pacific ocean.

Usualy a spellsword. The games always recommend I play a monk if I do those answer the questions to create a class.

Even by modern standards, the Concorde's wing is complex, advanced, and unique. It's a delta, but far different than any other delta AFAIK. What other plane can supercruise at Mach 2 for hours on end? (Well, the SR-71, but that's REALLY high-tech---the Concorde can be serviced and maintained like any other plane, and doesn't need a literal army of people to prep it) I'm going to have to go re-read my Concorde book now...
plus I like interviews of concord pilots talk about how smooth it flies that they can use a thumb to move the flight stick at mach 2.

You're welcome.
Guys, it's just another weird Japanese doujin phenomenon. Instead of scantily-clad girls with big guns or huge swords, they just put a girl wth mechanical parts together.
wolfx is just admiring the interesting design of the figurines in an artistic context, not drooling over their little panties, nothing more.
Let's get back on topic and not start a flame war or the mods will close shop.
wolfx just needs to be careful a mod may give him the title "MW's resident Otaku"
