Oblivion like games

Need Oblivion-like games, already played Fallout3, and the older elder scrolls. Also really like LOTR:Conquest, so would love shit like that too.

Cheers!

Dragon age origins is amazing, new game. Otherwise borderlands is quite similar.
Played Borderlands on my PS3. Liked it, but it's kinda monotone. Heard Dragon Age: Origins only rules on pc, and dno if I can still smoothly run that game, but I'll try it^^

Cheers!

Parent
Ordered for ze PC today. Have heard pretty good things so far, so am pretty excited! Bioware > * when it comes to RPGs.

Is the hype justified?
Parent
lets see
boulders gate
mass effect
kotor

dragon age so far won all of them :D imo

the twists there omfg
Parent
its baldurs gate :P

and you forgot about neverwinter nights and Icewind Dale... and fallout 1&2

BioWare just makes the most epic RPG's
Parent
I agree with this man! Baldurs gate and icewind dale, I think i spent years on those games :D
Parent
im quite sure i played every charatcer class in bg2, and every team combination ^^

thats why BW rpg are epic its always different game :D
Parent
haha ye me 2, i played through bg atleast 5 times with uncovering every square of every area :D
Parent
Risen - just finished it and altough it has no high end graphix the atmosphere is really overwhelming...
thumbs up for Risen!
risen aka gothic 4? :>
Parent
since its the new game of piranha bytes - yea should be gothic4 , but piranha bytes lost the right for the series so they called it risen ... but if you liked playin gothic series youll like risen.

there is a new gothic comin out (gothic 4 - arcania tale) but its not published by piranha bytes...
Parent
obviously you dont want games made by bioware, because you preffer to play shit made by betsheda :0

i suggest you killing yourself!
Taunt successful

That does it.

Damn right. Oblivion felt kind of shallow, some quests (esp. Dark Brotherhood) were great but the freelance adventuring and ESPECIALLY dungeon raiding was just repetitious shit. I mean wtf, random-generated level-based dungeons instead of the beautiful handcrafted caves & shrines of Morrowind, where you could just go to the Red Mountain at level 1 and get brutally analraped by an Ascended Sleeper :'< And it's so goddamn satisfying to finally get through the dungeon and sell the loot to creeper & keep the best gear yourself ;)

In Oblivion you can never get the same surprising "OH MY FUCKING NINE DIVINES IS THAT A FUCKING DAEDRIC DAI-KATANA OH YES IT IS OH SWEET"... unless you're level 40 and every other chest contains daedrics which is a total buzz-killer.

/rant

tl;dr : Morrowind >>>>>>>>>>>>> Oblivion
Parent
Morrowind is great in what it is, but there are hundreds of very good and interesting mods available for Oblivion and I would say if you install all the best mods the game turns out as good as Morrowind ( If you really liked Morrowind there is this mod called Morroblivion which actually makes you able to travel back to Morrowind and there are few minor quests available ). Oblivion just needs some heavy modding.

Then again, I find Morrowind much smoother to play and somehow the graphics appeal better to me even if they are so much less detailed.
Parent
for me the most annoying thing in oblivion, in comparison to morro, was that there were no unique items as seen in morro. Is there any greater feeling than to loot a dungeon in morro to find an epic lvl 20 required armor while you're lvl 4?

Also the thing i hated in oblivion is the leveling creatures. Raid a bandit camp on lvl 30 and the bandits wear full set of glass and ebony armors. Of course theres mods like FLC and such but still.

The thing i most liked in morro was that you could join only one main guild hall; kept the game overwhelmingly interesting and made the re-play value greater than that of oblivion's.
Parent
I agree in 100%

I've spent countless hours/days discovering the secrets of Vvardenfell and I still didn't manage do find soooo many epic items. That's why someday I will load my old saves and try it again :)
I remember my character was on a really low level and i discovered the Armor of Gods or how was it (in the cave under Ebonheart) and I was soooo excited about it. Same level of excitement was only in Baldurs Gate 2, which still remains my all-time RPG favourite.

But hell yeah, Morrowind was incredible (only the wild monsters that were chasing you forever annoyed me much), Oblivion had beautiful graphics but thats it. In Morrowind if you had to find a cave, you knew where you should start to search for it and you had no more help. It gave so much satisfaction if you've found a hidden entrance etc. In Oblivion there was this fuckin green/red arrow showing you the way whole the time, like if the player would be a total pussy.

Anyway, BG2 > TES3 >>>>>> TES4, will try DragonAge soon
Parent
sorry but story >> freedom...

TES always was about freelancing, about creating a living world...

what I want from RPG is good story, lots of dialog options.. Thats why BioWare games are always the best rpg out there...

and TES followers should DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

btw. im eating soup what are u doing? :>
