It could be from Martin's perspective. That would make sense to me.Kinguendo said:This is ridiculous, the games have no set protagonist. How would that work? Unless they do it from the point of view of someone else in the game who is doing things along side the main story and you hear references to some main events of the game during the film, that could work.
They're painfully long on my 360.... it's not just the length but the frequency of them, especially in towns (Cheydinhal is the worst). I put up with it though because the game is so sublime (350 or so hours and counting)A Pious Cultist said:The loading screens are incredibly brief compared to the likes of HL2 (moreso before the update that made the loading times a bunch faster), never longer than 30 seconds for me. =/MiracleOfSound said:The beginning credits are going to be a five minute loading scene.

then how do you know the storyline is shit if you've never finished it?Sovvolf said:I'm probably going to get burned for this but well... I thought the actually storyline you follow in Oblivion was shit. Just your generic fantasy story which probably wouldn't make a good movie. The movie would seem like a LOTR rip off.
The story of Oblivion isn't the reason I play it. No it's the adventuring you do your self. You don't have to follow the main quest... I've never finished the main quest. I've made my own adventure. Travelling from A to B, doing quests for random people. Walking the earth like David Carrigan (I think that's his name) in Kung Fu.
I don't think some thing like that would translate well in a movie. Perhaps a T.V series... Not a movie though.
But Martin sees the protagonist all over the place... and he also doesnt do anything most of the time.DuplicateValue said:It could be from Martin's perspective.

Because I've gotten most the way through it and it was just your same old generic adventure. I was so bored by it that I just ended up being side tracked by most of the other missions and the rest of the world. Maybe it gets better later... However to what I played... Well it was boring shite. I think the best thing about the story is that Sean Bean is in it. However to the point I played it... Well he was just a quiet Monk who was hare to the throne. Come on, you have Sean Bean... You need him as a knight captain or some thing like that, where he can ham it up.zehydra said:then how do you know the storyline is shit if you've never finished it?Sovvolf said:I'm probably going to get burned for this but well...

I thought that too.Taxman1 said:Not to rain on anyone's parade but aren't they just protecting the trademark?

Exactly, it just wouldn't work. What are they gonna do, track the main questline? Because someone should tell them that everyone hates that.Griphphin said:I wouldn't want an Oblivion movie, as everything that I looooove about oblivion (just exploring the countryside, probing the NPC AI with random methods, being able to decide "maybe I'd rather not do that and just do this for the hell of it") would translate horribly into a movie.
Hire six people to do all the acting? Would still be awesome!!SODAssault said:The good news is, staying true to the source material would save them a ton on actors' fees.
