check first in the thread from back when the game first came out... it was pretty long and involved.

Check an Xbox360 gaming site. Google is your friend. [Smile]

I have done that many times. I watch videos of oblivion and there seems to be some slowdown but i can't tell if thats just my internet connection, or the game. I also dont trust the gaming sites. They tend to generalize and say "some slow down may occur." But they dont say when, where, why, or how to prevent it from happening. I am asking from one rpg gamer to another, is the slow down bad, and does it take away from the gaming experience. I want opinions from the people who played it, not an online critic. So please give me your opinions.

I experienced minimal slowdown in really graphically heavy areas, or when I used the dupe trick, or when I left behind too many duped items on the ground. It's much better than Morrowind was about slowdown, for me anyway.

Load times are there, but they were never long enough that I noticed.

The loading bothered me some. Not so much for load times, but for sheer quantity of areas that required loading. Like when I needed to go through multi-story buildings and load every single floor individually.

Even then, I still found the game worth it for the beautiful graphics and massive content.

I'd recommend buying this game on PC if your computer can take it. The fact that you can use console commands to work your way through bugs is extremely helpful.

This was slower for me than Morrowind even though I bought a better video card just so I could play it. It is bothersome at times but I have gotten used to it.
