I just got Oblivion last night and I'm going crazy to go home and play it.

1. Sort of
I got Oblivion right after it came out and was enjoying the hell out of it for about 2 or 3 weeks -- and then my video card crapped out on me.

So for the past 2 months I've been in Tech Support email limbo with ATI. I have only the most basic of displays up right now. Sadly, this means no games for me right now unless it's like an old NES emulator or something.

7. Tell me about it
I was just getting really involved in the storyline, had some awesome weapons, etc.

And, of course, when the card died, it appeared that I had just gotten a nasty virus; so I wiped my hard drive, erasing all my saves and all the progress I had made.

Once I get my system completely back up, I'll have to start over from the very beginning.

3. Yes and no. Bethesda's games are always so buggy I mostly
wait at least a year before buying them so the patches will catch most of the problems. I love the idea of their games, but somehow the presentation is never quite up to the promise. I think the last one I played was the one two back. Though I enjoyed it, played it obsessively and did finish it, I also never played it again. (Looked it up; it was one back: Morrowind)

4. Luckily I haven't experienced any bugs yet
I have an Nvidia 7600 and the game looks and plays great.

6. I played the new one pretty heavily for a couple weeks
And I don't think I ever came across a single bug.

5. I so want that game.
But I cannot afford a goddamn XBox 360. :cry:

I'm barely getting by on my paychecks. :cry:
