One thing I really did like about Oblivion is that you could go into the music folder and switch the songs around. That, in my humble opinion, is a drastically underutilized ability in games.
I tried to do this for the first time tonight, and can't figure it out. My flash drive had mp3s on it, yet when I put it in my PS3's USB port, it didn't recognize any of the music. I could access the flash drive on the PS3, but it said "There are no tracks." I'll figure it out eventually. However, I do think Oblivion has a fantastic soundtrack. I downloaded it on Monday and have already racked up about 30 play-throughs of the entire CD. Though after a while, I'll admit, it gets boring in the game.
I would always have to transfer my music from a CD in order to save it on the Xbox -- it has never read anything off of my MP3 player, and I'm yet to try my flash drive. However, I HAVE been capable of streaming from my computer in the past, but that requires doing some set-up with my compy everytime I want to stream.
I really enjoy using my own music for long-standing games such as Oblivion. Funnily enough, I have a lot of music that is of a certain new-age ambient style that suited the game perfectly.
However, the problem with using your own music is that you never get the chance to hear the "danger/battle" music when it's intended to play (
Although I'm starting to hear it in my head right now.).
I can't imagine listening to Oblivion's soundtrack on a CD. Beautiful yes, for after so many hundreds of hours of it?
but the entire world looks the same! And the dungeons are just so darn repetitive.
Heh. I actually REALLY love how the different locations of Oblivion seemed to represent different natural environments replete with unique trees, plants, formations, etc. And, I mean, Fallout's all wasteland...
The dungeons, however, were all randomly generated from a certain set of pre-made dungeon parts -- and it was painfully obvious.
I'm just not a PC gamer: never have been, never will be. If for some reason I download Oblivion online or something, I'll keep that in mind. Werewolf mod? Sounds worth it to me.
I have a certain suspicion that I'm going to return to PC-gaming when I go to college. I use to be a primarily computer-based gamer up until I got my xbox. I HAD consoles, but the majority of my games were for the comp. However, now I just have too many difficulties getting anything NEW to run on our family-shared 6-year+ computer. For a couple fo years it seemed like we were buying a new video card every year. Consoles have an advantage where they're all standardized, at least.
