General Oblivion Screenshots

[SUBMAN1]

You can't tell what I'm addicted to lately can you? Anyway, every now and then you see something that is just impressive looking and you can't believe your computer is generating this in real time!

Dwarven machine / contraption:



Time to fight:



One of the highest points that you can possibly get to?



Dawn:



Sunset:



Can you believe it can generate this much foliage and still get over 30 FPS?



Horse neck armor with some HDR lighting:



My horse from the side:



Mountain climbing - you can see my detect life ring putting a purple halo around the horse too:

What specs are you calling your own, Sire? How fast do the pictures of life running by without bending? He who has a strong force for his own shall be giftet to begin the quest.

Ah...ah...30 FPS?

If you don't want to see your head falling down from your shoulders, name your specs, Sire!

Tried this game a while back, loved the beautiful graphics but was turned off by the combat system. Ended up going back to NFS-MW, although SH3 is starting to call to me again.

My modern horse, or my character? I am level 31. I just got that Goldbrand sword, which I consider the best sword in the game (personal opinion of course)- dishes out up to 50 points of damage in a single swing with its additional 22 points of fire that can be used 80 times before a recharge. I like that sword! I'll post my stats later on when I take a screenshot of it.



If you mean my modern horse that supports this world has the following specs!

AMD X2 4400+ w/ Thermalright XP-90C and a Nexus 92 mm low RPM fan
2 GB Mushkin Black DDR 500
Visiontek x1900 XTX crossfire ready with an Arctic Cooler Accelero
ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe (ATI Crossfire 3200 based, dual 16x PCI-E slots)
Silverstone 600 WATT ST60F PSU
2x 120 GB SATA Seagate 7200.1 hooked to a ULI RAID 0 (over 90 MB/sec sustained)
Plextor Premium CD burner black
Plextor 712A DVD burner black
Sony DVD-ROM black
Floppy black
Coolermaster analog guage kit(Fan Volt, VU, Temp) in silver
Coolermaster Wavemaster Case (silver)
3x Panaflo L1A's 80 mm fans
+ whatever I forgot!

That is all that is in the case. I need to add a ATI Rage 550 theatre based board - probably another Visiontek, but I haven't finished my research yet. I also want a physics engine based board too. ATI is making one so I guess I'll hold off till that one is out before I choose, to see what it does.

I haven't had time to reload Gentoo (I was forced to dump my old load when I upgraded to the ULI RAID from the Silicon Image RAID - the Silicon Image RAID worked great for burst, but slowed down during sustained transfer and the ULI doesn't exhibit that problem, so I needed to) on it yet though or Windows Vista (Though I am downloading a Vista Beta from a friend at MS as I type this) so I am only running XP MCE 2005, and will probably put a small x64 parition on it soon too. I have about another 70 GB of unparitioned space left to test other OS's.

Weird that I might have 4 OS's on this system soon. Most I've ever had was three before this.

Are you talking about the creatures always being at your level? THere is a mod to fix that.

Okay, no debate, no hot talking, this time I surrender at the very beginning. No way I could avoid being flattened by such specs. 3 GHz, 1 GB RAM, nVidia 5900XT - do you think there is any chance such a relic could run that game?

Actually I do not know what you are talking about. And I often wished there would be a mod to fix you

Yeah - no problem. I ran it on my older XP3200+ with 1 GB RAM, and a 9800 AIW video card just fine. I had to turn down resolution to 1024x768 and the grass qty, etc., but it worked good. The 5900XT should perform similar to the 9800 AIW (PRO).

PS. I want my ATI Theatre card!!!! I don't have any Tivo functions like my older 9800 AIW. I have an actual Tivo hooked up to my computer (my wife wants it to record TV, but I think that is a collosal waste of its capability, so I leave it hooked up to my computer!), but I can't even see what is being displayed on it without the ATI card.

Likewise! Touche!

[Skybird]

Thanks. Considering it. I am hooked on immersive world and environment simulations. For that only reason I like Far Cry.

Far Cry is a puny world compared to this. This is kind of like a bigger environment than Op Flashpoint is. The horse makes the world more managable though. Especially the expensive black horse - goes pretty fast.

I was disappointed to find out that Op Flashpoint, particulary resistance has real boundaries. I took off on one mission in which a tanks platoon was coming my way and I had to mine the place. So I thought I'd catch the tanks way up the road, but when I got there, I saw the road just had a start in the middle of no where, and then I watched the tanks spawn!!! Ahhh! I hate spawning!

[Sulikate]

looks very cool. I'm playing Oblivion too, this is my pc:

Athlon 64 3000+
1GB RAM DDR
GeForce 6600 256MB

Not great, but a stable gaming platform. Anyway, it's a very nice game, very immersive indeed.

Some years ago I took the biggets island, Nogova (map size 10x10 km), and crowded it with overland-patrols, and local garrisons guarding each settlement. I am nott sure, but I think I had over a hundred randomized patrols, with randomized groups psizes, starting loactions, and complex movement paths. No mission. I set up two bases where all equipment was available. Player simply dropped into the setup via mission editor, and had fun, alone, with a team, silent sneaking, noisy assault, no matter - total freedom of action to do whatever one wanted to do. Longest session i ever had was three simulated days and nights, before getting extracted again. I had so many things placed on the island that on my system performance dropped to the necessary minimum. Had a lot of fun with that one.
