Cut for Oblivion wibble

I don’t have the attention span to sit and scroll through a bazillion aptitudes and weapons and spells just to decide which one to use in a battle. Yes, I know the battle stops while I’m doing this, and this is another thing that bothers me. It’s stressy to have to leisurely choose the right thing when I know that someone’s trying to kill me. I’m used to pressing one button to arm myself and bam.

Plus – all this levelling up. “don’t sleep in a bed without levelling up your skills you won’t get the chance again.” wtf? This is actually moot as I haven’t found a bed yet, am wandering about Oblivion entirely lost, and getting killed by things including plants and the GROUND. Hey, learning curve, how about being a little kinder to newbies?

I suppose my problem is that i made the mistake of reading the Oblivion “how to” pages. and they scared me senseless. According to the person who wrote it, i’ve already made all the wrong choices for skills and birthsign –but then they prefer to play as a warrior and i’m aiming more as a sneak/assassin. As the game came with no booklet, i’m having to fumble around and work out the controls. I like EASY. I like HUD. *sulks* At least sneak skill is easy to upgrade. You just sneak and it automatically goes up..

Here’s hoping I get Metal Gear and/or Assassins Creed today. I need stuff I understand.

I was a bit disappointed about the finale to True Blood. What did happen was predictable, and there was a load of stuff that I expected to happen and it didn’t. Eric playing yahtzee was rather… yawn… Sookie’s “power” whatever that is, flickering once and not kicking in. I’m sure this is all to come, but I found it all a bit blah (for this show, for a finale).Each show delivers such a punch perhaps it was difficult for them to match, or top it.

Ignore the dragons—you don’t need to click.
