difficulty

[Oblivion]

I tried the demo, I'm getting the whole game soon, but one thing i noticed is that the game is like impossible inte the forest. first i went down in the dungeon and after a while met some orcs that attacked me... I don't stand a chance against orcs and i have been everywhere except where the orcs are. there most be hundreds of them in the forest. also i don't get how i'm supposed to make the healer sane again. need some help.

overall it seems to be a decent game, reminds me very much of diablo 1 for some reason.

It's very much a mix of Ultima VII and Diablo--there's a review up on IGN that concentrates on just that. As for all those orcs in the forest, remember, your goal isn't to fight them; it's just to get word through to the commander in the barracks. You're faster than the orcs, so simply run. Later, when you're more powerful, you can come back and eviscerate 'em. Get a level or two of Freeze, and you can even take out those nasty orc wardrummers.

nevermind my last post, I found my way to the next level of the catacombs. I just love this game but it's very annoying that there is no quicksave or similar, it takes like 20 seconds to save and therefore I don't save alot and I have lost several hours because of that.

And one more thing. There are six classes in the full game, is that really 3 classes but one female and one male? because I think that is really a ripoff.

Why is it a ripoff? You can customize those attributes and skills anyway you'd like as your character grows. And there are six in all; two of each class, and each of the pair possessing separate skills. Didn't you see that when you chose one?

[Oblivion]

I think it's a ripoff because it's written on the package "Six Characters!" when it's in fact only three. And when all of the classes can choose the same skills, isn't it in fact only one character? the only differnence I know of is that they get one special skill. Stop me if I'm wrong, I've only played the demo.

1) Why is it three characters instead of six if the skills set differ, making for six very different starting experiences?

2) At the same time--no offense, but why do you believe advertising? PR people are damned from birth.

And when all of the classes can choose the same skills, isn't it in fact only one character?

That's a little like saying that because six drivers each have a car and a full tank of gas, they can only drive in one direction. IMO, the skills system means that you can create incredibly diverse characters, whose experiences--methods of dealing with combat and quests--are completely unique.

First of all, isn't the female and the male version of the character exactly like eachother? (except the obvious fact) because you sound like they are diffrent in some way.
