Conquer Club

So I have this game for Xbox 360... and I played about 5 minutes of it a while back. Got a little too uninterested and stopped. Any thoughts on the game? Is it worth me putting 200 hours in?

buy the morrowind deluxe edition for the pc. it's dirt cheap and comes with both expansion packs. morrowind is ten times the game oblivion was, and with mods it's a hundred times better. if you want a list of mods to use, i can help with that too. seriously -- go morrowind.

Morrowind deluxe PC... got it.

I have it for PS3, but like greekdog I haven't played it much. I rented it from Blockbuster and forgot to return it, and by the time I found it and took it back I owned it and they wouldn't accept it back. So I have pretty much the same question. Should I try to get involved in it?

Get it for PC and then install mods for it, lots and lots of mods that make an otherwise decently good game turn into something great.


But Morrowind is a great game in its own right, though a bit dated and it shows. However, there are graphics packs available that improve the resolutions of textures and such while otherwise leaving all game contents as they were.

Absolutely, what he said.

took me like 50 hours to beat the campaign and all the other "main" quests. If you already have it may as well go beat it, doesn't take to long. It has no multiplayer so there is to real lifespan to the game, after 70 hrs the game play got repetitive.

That's where the mods come into play. Well, they first come into play in order to fix the broken leveling system, improve the textures, AI and physics, and to make the game more challenging without you having to shoot a boar with 50 arrows before it finally drops. But after that they also add some content.

I'm not a multiplayer kind of guy. There's something less than appealing to getting my ass kicked by 10 year olds and/or being cursed at.

I have Oblivion. I put it down after a short span of playing to pick up Fallout 3. I'm thinking of going back to Oblivion because people keep talking about how great it is.

I guess I'm just surprised that so many people are into this stuff here..

Yeah, if they come out with a few mods to make people not be such stupid fuckwads I'll probably be more into multiplayer games.

Ya the mods would have been a good thing 'cause the leveling and physx just sucked, eventually I was able to outrun my horse for gods sake.

You're surprised that so many people that play a game online also play a computer game? I'm surprised that you're surprised.

You shouldn't be surprised. Most of us have noticed that there's a short somewhere in Gabon's logic center.

If you do decide to play it, I would suggest trying to get put in jail early so that you can reep the benefits of the Theives Guild. You'll need them inorder to sell stolen merchandise. Personally I think the game rocks! Now go and close shut the jaws of Oblivion.

Jail is not necessary in order to join.

How else can it happen? I was under the assumption that you had to go to jail inorder to recieve the invite. The invite being the "mysterious note". Does the other way involve a certain combination of missions or something else?

It involves keeping one's eyes and ears open. Sometimes the NPCs will drop hints in their conversations.

Spoiler

What group of people is rumoured to spy for the Gray Fox? Right. Talk to them.

That would explain why "Gray Fox" is a topic option with so many of the people but it seems like the boring way of doing it. With the jail option, you can at least become a member within the first 10 minutes.

It's because I'm such an intelligent, successful person that GabonX is so surprised. After all, the only people that play videogames are people that type things like "Noob."

A barely tangential comment... I have a friend with whom I used to play Halo quite a bit, and we got pretty good at talking trash to British ten-year-olds (Americans too, but the British kids stand out to me) whose insulting capabilities left a little to be desired. There's nothing quite like the brief silence that offered a reprieve from the typical "fucking your mother jokes" that came after an outburst from my friend who essentially yelled "I WILL SHIT IN YOUR MOUTH!!" The timing and stunned response were pretty epic.

In a tangent of my tangent, there was a gentleman with whom we played in Social shortly after Obama's election who ran around the field with a shotgun blasting people in the face and yelling "OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" and "CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGE!" every time he killed someone. Combine that with the frustrations of a slur-using opponent who kept getting his head taken off made for an enjoyable evening.

Despite the notorious ineptitude of online gaming interactions, I really do get enjoyment out of people who are clever or charismatic enough to stand out from the very low-barred gamer crowd. This is probably because I do think vulgarity, if used properly, definitely has it's place in the echelons of humor, particularly amongst the general troglodyte population of gamers.

/ramble.

That is good neo. I agree that creative cursing can be wondrous.

So did I. I will steal that if I ever play a game where it's appropriate.
