Is anyone else giving their own little 'goodbye' to Oblivion : V - Skyrim

» Tue May 08, 2012 3:51 pm

I also took my character to Skyrim's border. Then I turned around and took in the view, one last time.

I spent the last 6 months doing a long, complete Morrowind playthrough (plus addons and 250+ mods). It looks pretty amazing now. I followed up with Oblivion (plus all DLC and 200+ mods) and made it about halfway through the MQ. I may go back and finish after I get Skyrim out of my system.

If you're playing on a PC, BGS games can take 3-5 years after release to really hit their peak. Some of the mod efforts are amazing. But I always do one MQ finish before I succumb to the madness.

Goodbye old friend. You were good to me, but I'm moving on.

I have been squiring away all my treasures (stuff I loved enough not to sell but did not want to carry) for years in a hidden rock container. The last few days I have moved it all to a treasurer vault room and decorating the room and walls with my hoard and sets of armor and weapons. Wow...I cannot believe all this time I had it hidden away. It is now my museum of Oblivion years gone by.

I may make a you tub vid of my vault or at least take screen shots and frame them.

I retired all of my characters in Oblivion by deleting them. I had fun with them for a long while, but things soon got repetitive.

Goodbye? It's just a "See you later" for me.

I've been playing Oblivion again recently as a farewell. I know this isn't the last time I play it, however between Skyrim and the age old classic Morrowind I don't think I'll have to much time for Oblivion. I feel so much nostalgia building up however, Oblivion is a work of art one of the best games of all time in my mind, second only to Morrowind.

The last time I played Oblivion I made a Nord guerilla fighting against the Imperials (and any Dunmer foolish enough to cross my path). Ended in a bloody rampage in Cheydinhal, then living in the woods for a while, making surprise attacks on towns and being attacked by guards every few minutes until I finally made my way up to the Pale Pass, the intention being to wait for the spring snowmelt to open the way back to my homeland.

And that's where I prefer to leave Oblivion.

About to hook up the xbox, flip through my own nostalgia slide show of save games. Then heading to the north..probably just stare longingly toward skyrim.

No, Oblivion isn't going anywhere

There's no "goodbye", just a "see you later"

I didn't say goodbye to Morrowind when Oblivion came out, and I won't say goodbye to Oblivion. Each game offers something else that the other doesn't, and I have a strong suspicion that while I'll likely enjoy Skyrim more overall, Oblivion will still do things better than Skyrim that I'll have reason to go back to Oblivion.

What he/she said and to be honest, I played Oblivion first, then Morrowind, and were captivated by both for different reasons. Skyrim will only make me appreciate the three games for their different strengths.

Oblivion is long gone... But Morrowind... Morrowinds gonna stay on my harddrive forever!

» Tue May 08, 2012 12:30 pm

You serious? I never stop playing Bethesda games, i mean yeah i'm freakin excited for skyrim and i will be playing it all the time but i will always find time to visit my characters in Oblivion, Hell i'm still playing Morrowind off and on. Oblivion and Morrowind will not be forgotten, i could never cast aside them forever just because the shiney new game is coming out.

Considering I still play Daggerfall and Morrowind... I doubt I've seen the last of Oblivion now that Skyrim is here. All TES are like one big family

I am afraid it is, Oblivion gave me such fun times but now its time to replace it with an even better game.

Thankyou for bethesda for creating games like these!

Oblivion is but a fading light in the shadow of a distant memory, naught remains within but a warm, fuzzy feeling.

I left my old Nord warrior in his house in Bruma on the outer edge of Skyrim Where i would like to think he passed away peacfully in his sleep and his children went on to live in bruma for many years and somewhere down he line his decendent travelled to his ancestral homeland of Skyrim....

I did my last goodbye with Oblivion a week or two ago, but a few days ago I played Morrowind for a bit.

Heck, I may just give Oblivion one, last good run

Though it has been a while since I played my other games...

I had a funeral of sorts for my Oblivion character about 3 months back. He finished his last quest, went to his house in Anvil. Surveyed the collection of weapons, items, and books from his many adventures, played with his pet dog one last time. Then he ceased to exist.. or at least settled into a "normal" life in Anvil and lived out the rest of his days.

I loved Oblivion and put in tons of hours into it. But I don't think I am going back there again.

I just finished playing through Oblivion one more time

Finished the main quest a couple days back and am working on the daedric quests today... and that will probably be it for that game come tomorrow

More like good riddance. Been trying to play Oblivion again lately, and I always have to shut it down around levels 5-9. Once skeleton guardians and clannfear runts show up, it's time to quit.

Lol - I finally finished the main quest a few days ago. This after hundreds of hours of play on multiple toons -- just never had felt like killing off Martin.
