Well it's almost five hours, gonna take a breather!
My impressions so far are very good! (No spoilers coming I promise:) It is quite easy to run as suspected, my 2 year old rig runs it on "high" pretty much flawlessly. "Ultra" exists which has longer slider distances for details just like previous games... it was still a pretty good frame rate but I like solid 30+ so stuck with High. BTW during the intro (before you have full control of yourself) the frame rate was lower for some reason - wait til you have full control before screwing with your settings).
I have had no bugs or crashes so far! I would say that the level of testedness upon release is good. One bad guy was pathing into an obstable and couldn't reach me until I moved, but that's it. Some of body animations are awkward and a bit basic at times but on the scale of Oblivion, there are far more interactive animations that people do, and they are more frequent and better integrated.
There is a skill level setting - with presets rather than a slider like before. I set it one up from the default, to Expert and the level of challenge is very good. Needed to reload a few times in the larger fights and had to use potions and scrolls to survive a couple of times!
There a few textures which are definitely poor quality but most a good, and the overall scenes I've seen so far are frequently very impressive! I think a dark mod is needed since the minimum light level indoors is the same as vanilla Oblivion and I prefer a reason to use light sources or magic. Also a primary needs mod is needed, food at the moment restores tiny HP and can be limitlessly eaten.
It's a bit odd without attributes but using the talent trees for a bit I can see what they're getting at, it does leave plenty of room for build specialisation. |
