Funny or "cool" moments in the Oblivion Chapters

Well, thought I'd start this thread for the funny moments you see in the trailers of Oblivion, the 6 Chapters with that guy talking through it.

My two favorite are in Chapter 5 when he's in town.

"Also they have some decent trading shops, a good place to buy stuff or ransack and make your own..."

And I love the scene where the woman Fireball's her dog.

You can get all of these on the main site, http://www.elderscrolls.com or if you google Elder Scrolls 4 Chapter Videos you get tons of sites there too.

Ahh, so what's your favorite parts?

The developers paid a lot of attention to comments on the MW boards. They saw how many people decided that since they were able to buy a house, they'd take advantage of poor AI, kill the inhabitants, and use it to hold loot.

I don't know that the AI will be that much better, despite Radiant AI, in Oblivion, but they've culled some of the best things added by MW modders--such as house purchasing.

Not to get too off topic, but one major problem with the Radiant AI I saw in one of the videos, chapter 5, was the first conversation and how the two people don't even stop you as your eve's dropping.

That kinda ticked me off actually, normally you don't eve's drop on a conversation, even one like that.

But otherwise, I was both ticked and laughing sorta. Meh, my thoughts on that scene anyways.

I agree, it was kind of odd, but I think little things like this are neccesary to make the game flow better.

How does it make the game flow better if the illusion of reality is broken?

Well I will disagree at least this particluar incedent.
I have the impression this guy was almost a messenger/recruiter for men at arms.
I do get the point and agree just it would be bad if it is not a reasonalbe explination.

I'm just saying that the game would not fit together right if every time you go up to people who are talking they told you to bug off.

Well if two people are having a conversation in a semi secluded or sparse area with little population, I think it's quite appropriate for them to say bugger off.

Otherwise, approaching some people during the day, bugger off could be for them being busy with there own quests or you could get them at a good moment.

So I half agree with you there, it's not good if they ALWAYS say bugger off, but with what you said and what you quoted, they seriously needed to tell the player off when having that conversation.
