Erm, i posted that link four spots up mate.

But, yes, it has calmed my procrastinatin' self. Part of it at least. I aknowledge that it is highly unlikely that Oblivion is going to be worse than Morrowind in terms of generic npc dialogue. But that's not my only beef.

I don't care if It's all going to be spoken in Chineze by spanish sailors with hair lips.
I'm getting the game to play it not to sit down and talk to cartoon characters all day. If you don't want to hear any talking unplug the speakers and click the deaf player function then you can read until your eyes dry up. This thread has become retarded and not worth the web space it uses so I plan to just wait until the game comes out and consider this thread Dead.

Amen, brother.

In the words of Richard Garriot, "Roleplaying games at least in my mind are essentially social experiences".

I suggest you keep your petulance to yourself, in future MrCrimsoNblade, if you're angry or annoyed it is much easier to vent it elsewhere in a FPS or something rather than denigrate yourself publicly.

Ironically, I'm glad Oblivion has been delayed as it will give me a chance to save up some more for the relative uber-machine I'm going to need to run it.

In the meantime, I'm even tempted to play Morrowind again...though it only took me a month to complete it and both expansions, I didn't do any of the thieves, dark brotherhood or Cammona Tong quests (practically wiped them all out in fact, hehe). There's always the possibility of trying a mod or two also.
However, knowing just how strong the game can pull on one's brain has me a bit reluctant to start it.

Incidentally, did anyone actually get my referrence earlier to Patrick Stewart? He did some great voice work in a classic old school rpg that won my heart. I completed it with all the characters. Double thumbs up to the person who gets it right and has played it too!

Search me. But i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Bard's Tale III.

CerebroDragon · 11-20-2005, 11:27 PM

Haha, no, there's no speech in the classic Bard's Tale games, though that might have added a nice dimension to them, since all dialogue is text. Even combat descriptions are written. Perhaps if they were made a little later on and not during the classic early period of 1980-1990.

I'll give a couple of clues (not to turn this thread into a trivia based one, but here goes.)

The particular game I'm referring to was often considered by fans to be an "unofficial" Eye of the Beholder IV due to its similarity to that series. Does that help? It also spawned two sequels in its own right, but the classic elements from the original all but disappeared.

Surely someone out there has played it and is also a fan of the Elder Scrolls. (or even a part time Partick Stewart fan might know)
