Graeme, I dont think that you should accuse someone with piracy. For example my friend also tried the game using my copy, and my brother also, and they both decided that they dont want to buy the game, since they disliked it.

But the EULA for Oblivion says that no one else is allowed to play your version of the game. Didn't you read it all before clicking "I accept" while installing??? For that matter, you aren't allowed to let people watch you play, because Oblivion's near-cinematic experience is a Single Player game! If someone else wants to see it, they have to buy a ticket! You sir are a pirate!

That crazy Van-Gogh looking guy... always forgetting to start his tongue-in-cheek tags correctly. On the matter of EULAs, you should try buying a new version of Space Empires IV from Strategy First. You get one install, and then you're done! Unless you want to send about half a dozen emails over a week to convince them that you really deleted the copy from your old computer, you better like the hard drive to which you install.

Lets see if we can get this thread longer than the wishlist! Come on guys, you aren't really trying!

Nope tbh I didnt read it. Are you serious that someone is not allowed to try out the game using my original disc? This is just making no sense. That person wont copy it or anything, just taking a look at the game, it is acting like a demo or something..wow if this is true, this is pretty dumb I must say.

thing is, what if said person copys it and you dont know, then they say they bought it.

Must say - one of the things that I'm hating _most_ about Oblivion is the screwed up interface. Seems that even the UI mods can't give a sane user interface where you could press something like 'M' for map, 'I' for inventory, etc.

Agrajag · #8 April 21st, 2006, 04:23 AM

There is F1 for stats, F2 for inventory, F3 for spells and F4 for maps.
If it bothers you that much, just download AutoHotKey and script M to simulate pressing F4, I to simulate pressing F2 etc. (although I agree the interface is quite screwed up, and that you shouldn't have to do these work-arounds)

DominionsFan, why wouldn't you think that is piracy? I never read the "do you accept these terms" screens, but its pretty obvious that what they are saying is "this game is only ment for you, don't share it dillhole".

But ya we got screwed thanks to the pc/console development. I don't know why it would be so hard to design the entire game then split off and do sperate interfaces.
