This brought to mind the Mr. Plinkett TNG mistakes video. Many times the mark on the floor indicating where the actors should stand is visible in the HD remasters, and at one point he said something along the lines of "Patrick Stewart's a consummate professional, always hits his mark."

I'm pretty sure that is from the Ricky Gervais show "Extras". Or maybe I'm confusing it with Ian McKellen in the same show.

May have died in the tutorial, but he was probably one of the most memorable characters in the game. I don't even remember the name or dialog of any of the other characters in the beginning of the game while his performance stands out substantially.

A game containing the voice of Patrick Stewart AND a mod with contributions from the legendary Terry Pratchett.

I mean the tutorial can be seen as the most important part of the game cause if it socks nobody is gonna play the rest

Hence, they brought in Patrick Stewart.

It's also ostensibly the root of the main plot, hence his character should leave an impression.

Oblivion's start was so much more memorable than Skyrim's. Getting taught the basics by escaping prison and then immediately being served the full open world after that was magnificent.

As opposed to Skyrim where you learn the basics by escaping a fucking dragon, guards(because you’re a prisoner), and a creature as well(I think it’s a bear?). And then immediately served the full open world.

Buddy, like what you like and all but Skyrim’s tutorial sequence is at least the same and arguably better.

You mean more memorable than nearly getting executed and having to escape a dragon attack?

Yeah, not really. And I've played both.

Even this should tell you enough:

I think people just give Skyrim a lot more hate because it's been the last in the series for so, so long.

Oblivion was probably the #2 most memorable intro/tutorial of its' rough time period to me. #1 is stealing a bike in an alleyway.

Instantly ruined by the ability to teleport to the main city

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To ANY city.

Fortunately, I discovered that an hour or two in, so I still got some free roam in!

I played Oblivion for 10+ hours. Game was fantastic, I was hooked. I complained to my friend who had recommended me the game about how much walking there was. He explained fast travel.

To this day it's still a running joke: "You can fast travel?!?"
