It’s happening all over again. It’s Oblivion once more. And, even though Fallout 3 has the OCD-factor turned way down in comparison (there’s no alchemy, no stat grinding, etc.) there’s still waaaay too much to get me hooked.
Like gun collection. And paranoid constant equipment repair. And having to speak to everyone and try every possible conversation permutation. And unnecessary, self-imposed inventory management. It’s all horribly, horribly addictive. I’ve played about 14 hours in less than three days.
And the music is haunting. So much so, two tracks in particular are stuck in my head and refuse to leave:
I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire (The Ink Spots)
Way Back Home (Bob Crosby)
just came across your blog and I’d like to just say, I agree entirely. Also I just saved and since Christmas (so 2 days and 3 hours) I’ve racked up 26 hours. O_o Not healthy, but what a game! All the Ink Spots stuff is great =)
