Pretty sure that's a bosmer (wood elf), but yeah, most characters looked like garbage in Oblivion.

The Dunmer got completely castrated in terms of appearance and voice.

[Prowler]

yeah...i'm guilty of that

BTW, what is up with torn trousers actually being in the game? I'm surprised I didn't loot used condoms or outdated milk.

[M.O.T.H.]

So much junk. I picked up so many moth eaten scarfs.

[nepg]

LOL. I'm just glad there's a "Sell All Junk" option.

[ElectricEye]

It's not even worth it to pick up junk either.

[BeerBaron]

I always just hit "Take All." Even if it's worth one brass piece. I rarely ever fill my inventory before I have a chance to sell it all, and when I do, I just trash the least valuable stuff.

I'm a horder and I pick up EVERYTHING. No matter what. You never know what might be useful later!

I'm not looking to buy fewer games ever, but that would really really suck.

i shouldn't say looking forward to. but i'll never purchase madden again. if i have to add me3/bioware to that list, i will. they've already taken it from 'immediate, possible pre-order purchase' to 'wait until everyone's played it through so i can be sure it's not as big a let down. :/

[ElectricEye]

That's the one I just won't be able to wait for. Bioware has lost infallible status for me for sure though. Dragon Age 2 REAKED of EA ********. I actually thought they had been doing pretty good work lately with Dead Space, the Battlefield games, and Mass Effect 2(which wasn't fully deved under their watchful eyes, so I guess that doesn't count).

I suppose I should have saw it coming. They said all the wrong things in interviews and the one location thing should have been a huge red flag...they weren't really that anxious to put that one out there though.

I am.

Looking at my pile of 360 games, not counting arcade games, I have 34. To me, that's more than enough. The only one I have any interest in buying going forward is Mass Effect 3.


And possibly DJ Hero 2 (when it's cheap enough) and Gears of War 3 (if significant improvements are made to horde mode).

[ElectricEye]

Crysis 2 singleplayer footage. Just some basic sequences, nothing major. Looks good though, like that they kept the on the fly weapon modification and the general feel of the first game by the looks of it.

Oh, and delicious Dark Souls article

Follow up to 2009's excellent Demon Souls, which was easily one of the best games of this console generation for me. Last one was PS3 exclusive, this one is coming to the Xbox as well.

Looks incredible. Can't wait.

LOL @ the goal of the development of Dark Souls being to make the hardest game possible. ****, Demon Souls was a ************... One of the most frustrating games ever. VERY Old School in that the reward for doing something in the game is...doing it...because it's so ******* hard.

[ElectricEye]

I loved the challenge/reward of Demon Soul's, but I didn't think it was "hard" per-say. So long as you grind for souls and prevent yourself from getting hit, it's not that hard. You defiantly have to learn the mechanics of the game more than others, but once you do it's not this impossible task some claim. Don't get me wrong; the difficulty curve is literally perfect, but we're not talking about some impossible game so long as you play it right and don't shy away from a challenge.

[nepg]

It's like the old 8- and 16-bit games that weren't on constant easy mode. You have to figure **** out and you WILL die, and it IS frustrating at times.

[ElectricEye]

I never got frustrating. Anytime I died it was 100% my fault for not noticing something. It is a throwback for sure though and a breath of fresh air in todays constant race to make games more accessible. If I were a game dev, I would be studying Demon's Souls religiously on difficulty/reward.

[nepg]

The reward is the difficulty. Sure, in a lot of games, I like getting a CGI vid or story advancement as a reward, but sometimes if you just make it ******* hard to do, the reward is just doing it and being able to say you did it without being a filthy a-hole liar.
