Quote:I went to their web site and Arena is apparently a free download now. I obtained it and am now tweaking it so it works well in Dosbox.
Two years ago, actually, for the 10th anniversary of its release. I know I've mentioned it several times over the years, particularly the last few times we got into a big argument over TES/linearity vs. openness (with OB1 several times, certainly)...
Quote:ABF, about the bathroom thing, what I mean is I have never seen a single space toilet in Star Trek.
Ah. I'm sure they're somewhere though... :)
Quote:That's like coming into a thread about Super Mario Sunshine and saying that you didn't like Super Mario 64 for various reason. Well, okay, but they're hardly the same game and have some large differences. Same goes for Arena/Daggerfall/Morrowind and Oblivion.
Notwithstanding that we've already gone through everything possible with Arena/Daggerfall/Morrowind long ago...
The TES games are each different, but are also each clearly in the same series and designed with the same philosophy... yes, each is different, and part of playing each one of them (or having threads like this one where the latest one is discussed) is learning how exactly they are different (and how they are the same), but the series has a consistent philosophy, like how Mario Sunshine continues the gameplay philosophy of Mario 64...
As for Arena/Daggerfall/Morrowind, we have gone over that before, but only in relation to eachother, and not in relation to Oblivion as well...
