Elder scrolls Oblivion

Elder scrolls oblivion has finally gone gold and the launch date is march 20 and availability will be the next day for the us and apparently a few days later for europe. The last time I was excited about it was probably in november when I expected to get it within a few weeks but that didn't happen...

Now I'm getting excited over it again and go to their homepage several times each day just hoping to findd some new information. Everything about the game just seems to amazing. 50 hours of speech in the game and great graphics. an AI system called radiant AI that is goal driven and makes the people in the game come alive instead of basically just being personlike informationposts that fight back if you hit them like it was in morrowind.

Instead of telling a person to walk over to the table in the tavern and get food at 12 pm they just have to "tell" the person to find food whatever way they can when they are hungry. They go buy food if the have money or steal it if they have low responsibility. The value of the game will be great too considering how long it will take to beat it. Just completing the mainquest will take something like 25-30 hours. To do everything in the game, probably something like hundreds of hours O_O

Considering a normal game takes about 20 hours to beat, that works out to having to pay about 2.5 euros for each hour of gameplay. With oblivion that becomes 0.5 euros/hour if we "only" played for 100 hours.

Recommended system specs for oblivion to run properly is 3 Ghz intel or equivalent amd cpu and ati x800 or nvidia 6800. I have an amd athlon64 socket 939 3000+ right now so that will work fine but if I need to I can overclock that one to 2.6 Ghz instead of the normal 1.8 Ghz. So cpu wise I'm sooo ready for the game, my graphics card is only a nvidia 6600gt so that will have to be upgraded.
