Oblivion melted my brain...

Did any one else get Oblivion, play for about 2 hours, then have there head explode?

As a gamer who likes to experience every little bit of story on offer, I was completely overwhelmed by the hundreds of book exerpts, the gigantic world and the amount of randomness that had been stuck in it...
I can't play Oblivion 'cause it's just... too much

Anyone else get that feeling? Or am I like, a total freak :?

Focus on one thing at a time, trust me, lol. What I usually do is focus on is getting into the Mages Guild first, after that, The Thieves Guild, then the Dark Brotherhood, etc...

When you talk to people and get quests from them, just accept them and go back to them whenever you want. Theres no time limit on them. Just focus on one thing, and it'll become second nature to play it.

I won't give up on it, think I just wasn't prepared for how much choice you actually get :P
Will definently give it another go after MGS4 is out and finished...

its pretty overwhelming i know, and it feels like theres so little time.

looking at all the other oblivion ps3 topics, in before lock. :D

I played for like... a week loved the scenary and the freedom, got considerably far. but then i ran out of lock picks.. and thats the last i remember of that game.. lol

I dunno you might be like me, i couldnt take it either and it was partially because of the load of crap thrown in ur face as the game starts, but also because i didnt like the story line much. and other small things that i came across was that the type of character i chose, he didnt regain anything.. not health magic or anything... maybe stmaina or whatever but eh that didnt help much, i dunno im more of a final fantasy guy :P

but hey u could still mess aorund in it and have some fun lol

i go into the first portal.."oblivion gate"
and just cannot get through keep getting attacked etc.
pretty lame :S

It was a bit Overwhelming at first but then you just adapt to it, its very addicting and there are many things to do/explore!

I had this game on the 360 and it was amazing. But then the disk scratched so a few days ago I got it for the ps3, though I am only 14 hours in.

its an amazing game, but now I know how to do well in it as before i leveled up to fast and was overwhelmed by the enemies and became poor. now I am at a lowlevel, but with great attributes and good armour.

small tip, try to keep at the lowest level possible for the main quest, othewise its very difficult. I know the better armour is found at higher levels, but as you go through the game you do find good armours that can e obtained at level one, even if your enemies dont start using it at level 15!

uespwiki is a good site for info on the game.

Not to mention the lock picks are a *****. I don't mind them being more difficult than in Morrowind, but I could never get the hang of them, even the easy level ones. When you run out of lock picks so fast like I did, it defeats half the fun of the game._Classic_Gamer_

It didn't stick to me very good even though I'm a fan of medieval..but I think I'll give it another shot once I get my HDTV.

thats cheating!

if you get thehang of it even the hardest lockpicks are easy. Each lock has a specific routing, easy ones will go slowly every 2 times, whilst harder ones less often.

also if the lock goes up slowly, then it means that it will stay up for a while. Just be ready to press A/X (ps3 or 360) and wait for it to go up slowly. its good to practise lockpicking as then you dont have to keep buying them.
