Anyone know if this means better graphics/dismemberment/gore? Or is it a straight port, nothing new?

@Blake Livingston: All of this was already on PC ages ago, it's just being re-released on Steam in one package.

@CustomFirmware: A game you should play!

That's all I'll say. Be intrigued and buy it.

Just when I was starting to get into a mindset of "fuck steam, I want me some physical medias and nice boxes", they go and add two of the games I wanted the most to be on there.

Incidentally, I've purchased Oblivion GOTY for PC for about 30 bucks less than 2 weeks ago, so sorry Steam, but your timing couldn't have been worse!

I won't be getting Morrowind digitally since I already have Oblivion physically.

Funny, though, I really did a 180 for reasons I can't really explain.

Only a few months ago I bought everything on Steam, and usually bought cheap games I'd never get otherwise simply because they were on week-end sales.

But all it took was for me to buy Crysis retail ( because Steam didn't adjust their prices to the Maximum Edition) and suddenly I'm buying hard copies of all my games. I got the first STALKER on steam, cost me 5 bucks. But I still went and grabbed a hard copy as well as Clear Sky ( which, incidentally, cost me ridiculously less than the 35 bucks Steam charges ).

But anyway...yeah, I think I'm done with Steam. At least I know as long as I take care of my games they won't mysteriously disappear on me sometime in the undetermined future! Plus, The Witcher Enhanced Edition had some pretty neat extra stuff that I wouldn't have gotten over Steam! :D

@Fieldy:

I'm sticking with Steam. With PC games, I don't want physical media. All discs are for is disc check DRM, and that shit is annoying as hell.

I will say that Empire: Total War has a REALLY nice case, so I bought that at retail... but it's verified by Steam, and doesn't require the disc.

Awesome! The only reason I haven't played Oblivion on the PC yet is because I don't have a DVD drive. And now thanks to Steam, I don't have to worry about it :D

Sounds good. I've been wanting to buy Morrowind and re-buy Oblivion after the disc was ruined, but I didn't want to leave my house.

I donno...I love Fallout 3 to death, played over 80 hours but Oblivion bored me to death.

@fresh to death dope boy hero: Thank god I'm not alone! You're the first that had the same feeling as me haha. Everyone thinks the opposite typically. I just couldn't get into the story for Oblivion.

@Awesome.: This. Oblivion bored the crap out of me. Plus, auto scaling enemies + being able to level through noncombat means = epic fail. For those who don't know what I mean- you can gain like 20 levels by just bartering and talking to people, without doing any combat, and doing so will make all the enemies stronger. Yuck.

Enjoy the fractured, frantic world of Shivering Isles, the best thing in Oblivion for my money! I'm jealous that you'll be experiencing it with fresh eyes.

@buddhathing: Wow, really? I played the original Oblivion, set foot inside Shivering Isles, and lost interest in the game completely. I might give it a go again just to finish SI if it's really that good.

@RockyRan:

I did the same thing, but a few months later I sat down and played through Shivering Isles and I had a blast. The base of Oblivion was still there, but atmosphere was very refreshing after going through all of those Oblivion gates.

@SScorpio: I had something of the opposite effect. Loved the main game--though to be fair I ignored the main questline shortly after getting into it, opting instead for the various faction quests--but Shivering Isles weirded me out of playing for a good long while. I don't think it's anything visual or technologically problematic; I'd just spent a lot of time in real life without who said things unnervingly close to some of the dialogue in SI, and the correlations made me uncomfortable.

The butterflies, though, holy shit.

Haven't played either Morrowind or Oblivion, and with my current finances I probably won't for a good long while.

I've had the problem of hating Morrowind but loving Fallout 3, so I don't know if I should try Oblivion.

But if I can get it cheap, I'll give it a go.

@Samutz:

I liked Oblivion on 360 for a bit, but my game got a bit messed up, and I stopped playing.

I'll certainly buy it again on PC if it's cheap.

@dirtface: I recently built a new computer and, literally 5 minutes before ordering all my parts, realized that I didn't have a DVD drive.

I told my friends about it and we all chuckled, then I got a 20$ DVD drive that does everything I need it to, all three times I've opened it.
