Elder Scrolls 4 mini review, It sucks, waste of money, hate it, ect

j/k lol


Story: 8/10

I've not gotten far, but from what I've seen there will be lots of twists and turns coming about in the game. Even in the side quests, for example an Orc wants to find out his true form of birth, and later when you finish his quest he finds out his father was a vampire rather than a normal person. Also note you do not have to go through the story, and you can wander as you please happily doing your own thing.

Graphics: 8/10

I was a bit disapointed with the graphics, while up close alot of the textures looked pretty grainy and ugly, and the draw distance sucked. From afar when you're looking at a huge tower or something it seems to have no textures or at most N64ish textures, it could of been better. Alot of areas did look great though, buit forests, the overworld and towns looked pretty ugly, though impressive sometimes. I was blown away when I first saw O.blivion (The area not the game) though, it looks amazing and the besty looking thing on the 360 so far. The character models are great, but some of clothes and bodies look oddly textured. Facial expresions are amazing though, armour looks good too.

Gameplay/Difficulty: 9/10

Where the game shines, there is so much to do in the game that it's almost impossible to finish it all. I am in the middle of arena matches, and they are pretty hard when you're not a level 2 already (I'm level 2). There are tons of quests you can do out side of the story line, over 400 (Over 200 dungeons too). Fighting in the game is difficult, so I chose to be a high class warrior with some powerful magic too.

Sound: 9/10

I love the soundtrack in this game, the voices are great too besides some pretty poor voices and repeated lines from different people. I swear I've heard the same exact descriptions from like 5 different people, this is next gen that shouldn't happen. The music is great and memorible, I loved the opening cut scene of the game just because of the music, it was fantasic and it really brought out the epic feel of the game very well. Music makes up for some poor voices.

Playability: 10/10

You can easily navagate in the game without trouble, though it will take a bit to understand the menus in which you store your items, it's flawless. The controls are simple enough, right trigger to swipe, left to block, right trigger 2 to use magic, ect.

Over all: 8.5/10

So far a very epic adventure with a huge scope and it's very fun to play. Though there are graphical glitches that make it ugly to look at, I'm positive this only happens the first time you enter an area and from there on when you play the game it's fine.

Game Informer Magazine

...how can you even think about rating the story if you're not even that far into the game?

There's over 400hours of story, So yeah, also there area alot of things that happen in the beggining.


Also.. I killed the king!

I am installing this as we speak.

Got the strategy guide with it too - it's bigger than the bible.

Thunder, that post is so full of typos.

I just played through the starting dungeon.

1.) THIS GAME WILL EAT YOUR PC ALIIIIIVE. I had to set textures to medium, disable bloom/HDR and run at 640x480 to get a decent framerate. But then, I only have 512mb of RAM, so chances are you can run it OK if you have a gig of RAM. Think of it this way: If you can run Doom 3 well...

2.) Patrick Stewart makes cheesy dialogue sound so awesome.

3.) Loadtimes aren't too bad.

4.) Favorite moment so far was when a giant rat lunged at me... and I caught it in mid-air with a fireball, sending it sprawling to the ground with a thud.

Holy crap, I just got the katana. :O
