Yeah, I think I sunk about 250 hours into a single Oblivion character over the course of multiple playthroughs, and I never closed a single Oblivion gate.  For some reason, I have an incredibly difficult time working on the main quest.  I'm all about maxing my character out, and once that's done, I tend to be burnt out on the game.

The Mages Guild quests were fantastic, but it seemed a bit short overall.  The Thieves Guild quests were much more fulfilling this time around.  That said, the payoff for beating the Mages Guild quest series was quite a bit better.

I started the Companions quests and got part way through, but got completely distracted.  It's still on my list of things to do.  The Dark Brotherhood quests are also a priority, but they might have to wait until my next stint.

Here is some more eye candy from the game.  The first screenshot is showcasing the Enhanced Night Sky mod, and I turned off the HUD for both screenshots using the tm console command.  Since they're rather large, I'll hotlink them instead of posting the pics inline:

Yeah, I'm sorry, I didn't realize the game was spamming FaceBook quite so prolifically.  I've blocked the Saints Row traffic and nuked the posts from orbit (it's the only way to be sure).  By way of apology, here are a few screenshots of an incredibly badass game:










Here's one more shot my character wearing something a bit less... conventional.  It's not entirely safe for work, so I'll hotlink it:

I finally got around to beating Saints Row: The Third this morning.  You guys must play this game.  It's got Burt Frickin' Reynolds in it!

Seriously, the game is hilarious, and it's everything Grand Theft Auto should (still) be.

Wow, so we can all play a legal copy of the game and we don't have to worry about version issues anymore?

Done and done!

Edit:  It also comes with the manuals in PDF, including this nifty tech tree map.

I had a ton of games update on Steam tonight with no associated news releases.  I have a feeling the Christmas sale (and possibly a scavenger hunt) is going to hit next week.  The last time I saw this many games update simultaneously, it was for the summer vacation sale.
