I’ve always thought the villagers in Black & White looked deformed

Ugly, ugly people…

Heh! Morrowind had the same problem. The original character designs looked horrid. It took 2 or 3 very well made user made mods to get the game looking the way it should.

Oblivion is pretty amazing. Things like being able to see things far in the distance that you can travel to are great, and the open-endedness of it is fantastic. The number one complaint that I have is that despite all the graphical wizardry, every single character looks like they’re horribly diseased. At character creation, instead of making a character that looks cool, you’re attempting to find a character that doesn’t look deformed.

there are a few words like that… and i hate how it erases everything when you click back… the old system didn’t do that.

I had a long comment about the ever-roaming NPCs of Animal Crossing (and why it made perfect sense for them to be that way, considering how small the place was) but also the annoyance of going to the shop late at night to sell some fish and finding it closed.

I went on to elaborate on how I would find space to store fish so I could go back for more, by turfing items out of my house to open up some floorspace, or putting items in letters to make use of the extra inventory slots for letters and clear space for fish.

However I once again put in “noob” instead of “n00b” and when I hit the back button my comment was gone

But the main points are covered here anyway

I guess it depends on the game. In the Zelda games that support time changes, the characters are dynamic. but then again, the game eventually gave characters the ability to control time. so waiting for a store to open isn’t a big deal

Is that in the new Zelda? I have yet to play that.

I agree that it depends on the game. If waiting for a certain amount of time to elapse doesn’t interfere with the flow of the game, the added realism is welcome. If standing around with nothing to do while waiting for the sun to rise becomes a pain, get rid of it.

Yup - that’s what I’m saying. Sometimes having static NPC’s is not so bad.

Oblivion Fixes this “complaint” pretty well… as when you have to follow people it has to be at certain times, and sometimes people are in bed and stuff…

I have yet to play Oblivion. But I don’t own an XBox and my PC is not able to handle it.
