Silvery falls

Phew. *chuckles* Yea.. I haven’t really written as much here on my blog as I would like, but that is mostly because I’ve been sucked in by the gaming demons again *giggles*

I spend almost all of yesterday just playing Oblivion on my Xbox360.. It has been a long while since I last played that game on my xbox360, mostly because I love all the extra stuff that you can get on the PC, but I decided that I wanted to try and complete it for the sake of fun and a few extra Gamer Points. *smiles*

So yesterday I sat down and loaded one of my old save games. In this save game, I am playing an Argonian female which uses a custom class I called Scaly Cat *grins* It is more or less a mix of a stealthy thief and a illusion/alteration spell user, which gives me some rather unique combos to use when I am out killing or robbing people blind..

Currently that char has logged 23 hours of in game playing time, but after yesterday I went up to 33 hours. She is Arena Grand Champion, Listener in the Dark Brotherhood (leader) and Guild leader in the Thieves Guild.

The last part about the Thieves Guild, I finished yesterday. In the main plot, I haven’t really advanced very far, I haven’t even delivered that “Amulet of the Kings” which you get in the first mission of the game yet, so I have mostly been spending my time doing the side missions of the game, and yes there are a lot of side missions in Oblivion.

Now I don’t have Shivering Isles for xbox360, but I am thinking about buying it. It costs 2400 Microsoft points which is about 40 dollars or so, and it’s an expansion to the game offering, from what it says, around 30 hours or extra game play, but it also offers you the possibility to collect 250 extra Gamer Points for your xbox profile, so all in all, I think it’s worth getting..

But I will probably continue to play today, probably starting to continue down the main quest line, and when that is completed, I want to become the guild leader of the Fighters Guild also, though I think that might be a problem with my current char, so I might start another, more fighter oriented character to do that. *grins*

I must say though, that the last mission in the Thieves Guild was very very exciting and hard. It took me around 2-3 hours to complete fully, because there just are so many nuances to that mission, and you really need to take your time to make sure it’s done correctly, but I guess that if you just wanted to rush through the mission, you could probably do it in less than a hour, but I really like to take my time and explore everything I can, it just makes the game a lot more fun for me. *smiles*

Now that I am getting in the mood to play more RPG games, I’ve thought about playing and/or completing Star Wars : Knights of the old Republic again, because that is also an awesome game, both the first one and the sequel.. I love them both..

I probably will also play a bit more Mass Effect. I’ve played through Mass Effect once already, but I really feel like that the game has more to offer than what can be experienced through one completion, though for some reason I don’t find Mass Effect as exciting to play as Star Wars : Knights of the old Republic or Oblivion, if I should guess as to why, the reason would probably be, that the two other games have much more depth and a lot more extra content (side quests/missions) to catch my attention than Mass Effect, it almost seems like that the Mass Effect developers thought that “Hey we have a great looking engine with awesome graphics. Let’s skimp a bit on the storyline/game play” which in my eyes is a very large mistake..

Yes, amazing graphics are nice, but I’d rather take good game play and a great and involving storyline any day..

Well I think that’s enough rambling from me..

Thanks for reading and take care.
