Hey,
So I finally got around to trying out Oblivion on the 360. It's not bad, I mean, it's pretty and all to look at, but so far the story hasn't hooked me :spoiler: (I am as far as defeating the gate a Kvatch).
The story overall seems very non-personal, like it could fit any character, which I guess fits the game. I liked the open ended-ness of picking my characters appearance, race, and class, but that seems to kill some of the drawing in ability of it too. Also, it takes forever to gain levels. I have played for 4 and a half hours and I am only level 2.
Also not quite sure how to do the guild thing, I guess I should read the manual, I got an invitation to the Dark Brotherhood, but when I got to the inn where I was supposed to assassinate some dude for my initiation, he wasn't there. Color me confused. I was hoping for an invite to the mages guild (I am playing as a Dark Elf NightBlade or whatever that class is called, and I haven't actually murdered any innocent people except for one knight at Kvatch by mistake).
The game seems to have some promise, it does take forever to walk or even ride a horse anyware. And the constant random encounters with wolves, rats, and bandits get old. Does it get better as you go along? I tried 3 times today to replay the mission to assassinate the guy, but kept getting messed up on the way there, twice buy some guard who thought I had stolen property (even though I never stole anything in the game) and once because I got caught on the wrong side of some lake.
