So... what things should I d/l for it?
 
Get the main patch and the unofficial patches.
 
Personally I like to play games for the first time as the devs intended them to be, before I play with any mods and "enhancements".

Yeah but the UI is really huge, surely there must be a mod that makes it a bit smaller and less intrusive?
And the map screen is like really... smallish.
 
Wow, I just started playing and the first thing I noticed, is it looks as though my brightness was turned all the way up... I can barely see anything!

WTF D:
 
Yeah it's a bit late to get into the game, but the amount of mods available atm is overwhelming.
 
And even more bad stuff, the update apparently freezes up after awhile.
It says it takes about 20 minutes, but I've left it alone for an hour now and the installer screen has turned white. :|

edit : Oh nvm, it is doing something.
Ffs, it better fix the crashing and stuff.

Wow, **** this game.
Wasted $50, Everytime I hit the journal button... the game crashes.
Whenever I turn on BLOOM, it looks like the brightness on monitor got turned all the way up.
Whenever I turn on HDR, it looks dark as hell.
Whenever I turn both off, it's pitchblack.
 
Too late, I just uninstalled it and forcibly returned it to Best Buy.
Didn't even want my money back.
 
Lol, did you install anything extra that would cause it to crash and such?

Game worked flawless for me.
 
All I did was install it straight off the dvd and applied the official patch.
 
And all your drivers are up to date? Try installing without the official patch(es) and see where you get. You really shouldn't be having problems like the ones you are describing....
 
No problems here. Blame the hardware before you blame the software. ;)
 
lmao

thats just sad. Waste $50 and not even bother to try figuring it out.

I tried figuring it out for like 3 hours.
Posted on every elder scrolls fansite that I know of, and everyone was unhelpful as ****.
 
Why even bother buying Oblivion? I can't even understand why I wasted a month on that game.

Meh, I wanted to see how far I could take my semi-new rig.

And I played Oblivion on my friend's 360 for a little bit and liked what I played, so yeah.
 
Seriously, I think that game contributed to my ever growing apathy. Its just so...emotionless. And empty.

Strange how there is so much hate towards a game that has won so many GOTY awards. I haven't played it because morrowind wasn't exactly my cup of tea.

You are not your title.
GOTY is just a title assigned to a game, it means nothing.
