any Game Historians present: is Obsidian known for setting their goals unreasonably high and failing to achieve them in time?
yeah, pretty much. they're really talented guys, but seem to have this knack of fucking everything up. i was afraid new vegas would leave me with this immense COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER feeling, but they just narrowly missed that i think.
hundley are you still playing oblivion? i started playing it, too. i never played that far into it, i always just skimmed the game because it seemed so flat and difficult to get into because it never felt like you were doing anything. i put some mods on it. it's better now.
yeah, i'm still playing it off and on. kinda wish i could suggest great things to see in it, but there isn't a whole lot to do in the game that is really particularly worthwhile.
still, you should definitely play the dark brotherhood questline FIRST. that's pretty much the consensus BEST PARTS OF THE GAME even though it isn't really all that great. shivering isles is also kinda cool if you have it. haven't been able to find much else in the game that is all that fun, though.
