I'll just play the game, he said.
It'll be fun he said.

What happens? Modding.
(that's just the bit that is potentially useful to others)

I will pretend that I didn't read that profanity.

One of my favourites intros ever. Enjoy the game!

I call upon the mighty merge gods \o/

Fox, you could just have left your post as it was and a mod would have moved it to the relevant thread

FO3, FONV and TES:Oblivion are on sale in GoG. I'm getting Oblivion as soon as I get home

Only $10 for each of them, too! (Including all DLC)

Yep, GOTYs or equivalents 10$ each. Man I don't have the time to play and mod Oblivion, but I want to have it for the future

Oblivion was the first TES game I played.

Wow, was it ever satisfying.

Daggerfall was the first one I ever played. :V
You should be ashamed.

Daggerfall was awesome.
Climbing buildings, robbing stores of all their loot, then reselling it to the store the next day.
Crafting magic, and like 12 button presses to cast a spell.
That feeling when you screwed up your starting questions and didn't get the Ebony Dagger and get murdered by a rat. xD

OH GOD THE RAT SQUEAKS! One of the few things that still scare me, is the squeaking of rats in Daggerfall.

I really wanted to play this game. The waiting for just this GOG-sale moment in time and now I can play the game because I'm doing other things. Arghgghgh. Well, it'll be there, DRM-free and mine for the future. I can wait

Silver, there are rats and then there are Daggerfall rats. If you don't have a falling dagger over them, you're a dead man. The logic is sound

Not TES: Arena? You should be ashamed.

Actually, to this day I still don't know how I missed playing the early TES games. By their features, they were well within my wheelhouse; but for some reason I was never even aware of them until Oblivion.

Incidentally, Gamasutra was playing Oblivion today (I think on Twitch) with its lead designer, "Uncle Ken" Rolston.

Who was also a designer of Morrowind.

And Paranoia.

Na, Arena was crap. :V

The games up till oblivion were poorly advertised, mostly didnt get seen by many people.
Which is a major shame. Most of the "long time" fans got on board with either morrowind or oblivion.
I still remember how exciting it was to see Morrowind's development get revealed. Shit that was cool in it's day.

Well, thanks to the gog sale I now have all the Elder Scrollses, including Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire and Redguard

Yup, I GoG-ed my way into early Tamriel!

You yung ones think you got it tough with getting killed by the guards for hitting a chicken?!!
In my days the guards attacked if you pressed "R" in a city.
