Some reason...

[Jeruhmi]

For some reason I find Oblivion partly scary to play. I find it scarier than Amensia: The Dark Descent.
Is something wrong with me? Last night I was exploring an underground city and round each corner things were attacking me.
Oh, and I bought Oblivion two days ago. First time playing since 2008.

Oblivion is scarier than Amnesia?! You must have some pretty scary mods!

 

[hexperiment]

I've been scared in Oblivion only twice. Once in Dark Brotherhood questline when I walked into the traitor's hideout... That place was just bloody creepy. I knew nothing would sneak up on me but I walked slowly through that bloody abandoned hideout. The other time was with a quest mod. As I go deeper into a particular dungeon, I could hear heavy breathing louder and louder... Not sure if it's supposed to be interpreted that my character was breathing heavily from fear or it's the lingering horror and menace of that place... Then it suddenly cuts to some pretty well-done cutscene that's really creepy. The quest was well-made but it was a bit too long for my liking.

You wouldn’t happen to remember the name of that mod? Sounds awesome.

 

[Jeruhmi]

The bad thing is... It isn't a mod O___O
I'm not afraid of the cities, it's just when it's late at night hear and I'm exploring the under-side of a trap door which I randomly found. The deeper I get, the more weird and harder it gets... it's just scary for me :S

It was called Gates to Aesgaard. There's part 1 and 2. I haven't tried part 2 though. That quest was a LONG journey in hell. Bring a lot of repair hammers and potions.

So I'm guessing you guys just don't feel the same feelings I share whilst playing single player games?
For example, I can play Left 4 Dead multiplayer, but would never stray into single player. I just like having actual humans to play with.

 

[hexperiment]

Hmmm, I guess not. In multiplayer you either compete against other players or cooperate with them to overcome an obstacle. In singleplayer, you are the only human and the fate of pixelated simulated beings completely depends on you. What I'm saying is that you're pretty much God in single player. >:]

 

[Jeruhmi]

Well yes, I guess it can be seen that way. I wish Skyrim had co-operative, too. Would be great.
I'm surprised that wasn't added.

 

[hexperiment]

Well, I think Skyrim should stay single-player. As a game that supports mods, multiplayer isn't all that feasible. Look at Bioshock 2. They forced multiplayer into it and it's really not all that popular.

What makes adding multiplayer to a game bad? Every game I play which has single player and multiplayer has great aspects for each option.

 

[hexperiment]

I just don't think TES has the right game mechanics to make it multi-player. The last thing I want is to have a forced feature that sticks out like a sore thumb and a easy picking for harsh reviewers

 

[Jeruhmi]

I liked the multiplayer functionality in Fable 2, although I guess it was a little buggy at some points. Well, I think Skyrim is better off just being singleplayer.

I think someone should be able to join your world and that turns your mods off

 

[Mikk]

The only thing that ever scared me in oblivion was a glitch. I was running up stairs out of a ruin with VERY little health, when a freaking zombie arm burst through the wall directly in front of my face and killed me. The zombie was glitch'd inside the wall, but he could still attack me when I was close enough. Aaaargh

 

[Cole]

Scariest thing for me had to be when you first entered the traitors hideout like what was already said, and when i entered a dungeon and all of the mobs were invisible. I got hit and was scared outta my mind lol

 

[Flamingtaco]

For me in vanilla oblivion the graphics are too bad especially lighting and daedric creatures like imps and clanfear are too ridiculous looking for much scare. With proper darkness mods and different enemies, runnign around in a pitch black dungeon with a torch is a little creepier

 

[Cole]

It might also be the first time I encountered a mudcrab. Man those things are scary as !@#$. xD

 

[Flamingtaco]

THere should be a mod to turn mudcrabs into head crabs from hl2, that would be sick.

 

[Cole]

That is bloody brilliant. You are a genius worthy of praise. I would love to see this happen lol
