overdue press
release announces the availability of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for
Xbox 360 in North America. Here's the official announcement on availability of
the RPG sequel, which actually arrived in most stores by yesterday, and will
show up in Europe by Friday:
NEW YORK & ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2006--2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO - News), and Bethesda Softworks® today announced that the highly-anticipated role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls® IV: Oblivion(TM) is now available for the Xbox 360(TM) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC in stores across North America and will be available at stores in Europe on March 24th.
The long-awaited Oblivion represents the quintessential role-playing experience for the next-generation of gaming, inviting gamers into the sprawling environments of Tamriel, the most vibrant game-world ever created. With a powerful combination of freeform gameplay and lush, unprecedented graphics, gamers can choose to unravel Oblivion's epic narrative or simply explore the vast landscape in search of their own unique challenges.
Oblivion's story begins with the mysterious assassination of Emperor Uriel Septim VII, leaving the kingdom's throne dangerously vacant. With the Empire ready to crumble, the gates of Oblivion are thrust open, scattering demons and other hellish creatures across the countryside. To turn the tide, gamers must journey to find the Emperor's lost heir and defeat the plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel.
"Oblivion is an engrossing and unique role-playing experience with incredibly deep gameplay," said Christoph Hartmann, Managing Director of 2K Games. "Gamers will be amazed when they see the revolutionary features that have made Oblivion one of the most anticipated titles of 2006."
Oblivion promises to be the defining RPG for the next generation, combining landmark visuals, a sprawling, sandbox universe with more than 200 hours of gameplay, intense first-person combat and realistic characters driven by the groundbreaking Radiant AI.
The Elder Scrolls® IV: Oblivion is available for both the PC and Xbox 360 in regular and collector's editions. The collector's edition includes a 112-page Pocket Guide to the Empire, detailing every aspect of the world of Tamriel, as well as an extensive "Making of Oblivion" documentary and an authentic replication of the Septim Gold Coin, the official currency of Tamriel. PC gamers will also be able to bend the world of Tamriel to their will with the extensive Elder Scrolls Construction Set(TM).
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for Xbox 360 and PC, co-published by 2K Games and Bethesda Softworks, has been rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB. For more information on the title visit the official web site at www.elderscrolls.com.
Ah im so happy. I Finally got the 25k together to buy the house at Skingrad. Damn that's a fine pad. Only got the bedroom upgrade done atm, need to raise some more cash to purchase the (ekk) 2500 gold upgrades.
But hell that's just 2 or 3 runs shutting down and oblivion gate to get what i need.
I just wish i had never bothered buying a bloody horse. They really are pointless in the game. I don't know about you lot, but when im doing a mission i quick travel to a spot thats closest to where i need to go then run the rest of the way. I rarely travel by foot from one city to the next. When i finish the main campaign bit, i might well start roaming randomly but atm i can't really be bothered.
But then again my character is becoming more and more hardcore. 95 STR, 100 END, 65 Agility (every level has had an STR upgrade and since i usually get a +3 modifier to END i got to top quicker). Not to mention i'm now a master at blade, 81 at heavy armour and 65 at armourer, my no-nonsense warrior is coming along nicely. And the great thing is he's only lvl 19 or so. I just wonder if it's possible to completely max out your character stats. Wow that'd be cool. An uber fighter-mage-thief dude that just cant be touched. Cool
Btw has anyone actually done the main quest yet? If so how long is left after the blood of the divines quest?
Oh and just wondering, my glass sword gives me a hit of 22 i think it is. Is that the highest it can go? Are there any weapons stronger than that in just base damage (as in not taking into account any enchantments on the weapon)?
Aint my best weapon those. The best one is thornblade or something. You get it if you save the count of Cheydinhal's son from an oblivion gate. Thats got a destroy armour 80 pts enchantment on it. Fully charged it can do about 45 hits before it runs out of juice....super sweet
