Sounds cool! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> What, you can make all the crowd dead just like that? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" /> BLOWN OFF? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/boom.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":boom" border="0" alt="boom.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Zerg? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Isn't that Buzz Lightyear's nemisis? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
It's good in some ways, but severely lacking in others. Graphics-wise, you need a high-end machine to make it look decent. There are piles of quests in the game, but once you're done them, I have a feeling the game world will prove to be rather uninteresting to explore.

The modding community is massive, though, so there's really no reason to run out of things to do. You can also ignore the main quest and side quests altogether, and do whatever you want. Being a thief is VERY fun. You can also run around, just randomly killing people. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

On this computer, combat is very tough, as my character takes forever to react, and gets himself killed often - this is with a mid-range character, too, so I think it's the computer causing this.

I don't know what the official add-ons are like, though, as I've only got the stock game. Apparently, the "Game of the Year" Edition has the entire game bundled in one box.

The Oblivion Wiki would probably be a good place to look if you're curious about the quests, factions, and other stuff, but this will spoil parts of the game if you do decide to get it: <a href="http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Oblivion" target="_blank">http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Oblivion</a>

I think you are on to something there. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> You've never played the modded game, so you don't know if its buggy?

Updating the game fully, then applying the Unofficial Oblivion Patch removed most of the problems I'd run into, but the game has a habit of crashing on exit. I've never had that corrupt a saved game yet, though. The only mod I've got running is Slof's Better Horses - the stock ones are rather ugly, and their eyes are only a different shade of their coat colour.

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> NO! Not that.. whatever that Buzz Lightyear's nemisis is. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> I meant Zerg race from <a href="http://www.battle.net/scc/zerg/" target="_blank">Starcraft</a> computer game!

Here's some pictures of 'em. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

Nasty-looking things <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
I think it is Zerg who Buzz Lightyear fought. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Here's some cinematics from that game about zergs <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />:

I hope that Starcraft II don't need very good rig when it comes out. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

Well, if it's deemed one of those "Games for Windows" things, it'll probably need a supercomputer. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
The spacey guy from Toy Story <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />
 
Exactly! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> Voiced by Tim Allen. Buzz (named for astronaut Buzz Aldrin) finds out in Toy Story 2 that Zerg is his father. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
Never saw the second one <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/no.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":no" border="0" alt="no.gif" />
 
You gotta see it. It's hysterical. Zerg escapes from a toy store and tracks Buzz. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
