Mass Effect or Oblivion?

Oblivion is already bargain bin after 2 expansions and almost two years since release. Pick it up also in post-Christmas deals?

It's probably just me, but I find it difficult to play "old" stuff. When I can force myself to do it, I enjoy it, but the idea that I have to endure "older" tech bothers me. Like Fallout and Morrowind, each of which I adored for years, I can't bring myself to re-touch.

Good grief...it's still from this generation of consoles. It's not like he's comparing COD4 to Rise of the Triad.

The Fallout games aged kind of badly, but most games I find just as fun today. I was a small fan of Daggerfall, but an enormous fan of Morrowind. When I got Oblivion, played it for a week, and then realized all the crap I needed fixed to make the game a bit of fun, I just reinstalled Morrowind and played that for another 5 months.

Morrowind is not that old (2003 I believe?), and with all the damn mods for the game, I don't see how you couldn't replay it, unless you absolutely need physics in your games.

Anyway, none of this matters, since it isn't as though Oblivion is really an old game. It came out last year, with some versions being released this year.

I think I've made my decision, I'll be economical and buy the first Oblivion (w/o the expansion. I'll buy it later at a cheaper price probably), play it while Mass Effect drops in price.

Thanks guys!

Now to make another post like this about FPS and fighting games >.>

If you are knew to the TES series, you will probably love the game. If you aren't, then you may still love it anyway.

I played TES2 and I must say playing through another one of those games doesn't sound enticing at all.
Which is why I still haven't played Oblivion even though it is in the bargain bin.

I thought TES II was decent, but I LOVED TES III. I didn't care much for Oblivion, though
