With such an easy way to train a skill, do you not think that a lot of people will be doing it...?

This is interesting too...

RE: The OnLive System
*sigh*
Fine. Whatever. What really ticked me off was that Ellie said "stupid people" who play Oblivion jumped in it. As a supporter of Oblivion (and its microcosm of modders), I take offense to statements as such. I highly doubt that the mod community would like it if they were called stupid (not that this relates to the situation at hand).
And to be honest, Oblivion was a pretty crappy game to jump in. Other than jumping across water, I don't really see how its useful.
Coupled with the fact that jumping saps fatigue like crazy in its lower levels, I wouldn't really say jumping is a great idea. It might be good if you're wandering around (which I don't, I use fast travel until I get enough gold for a black horse, in which case I just run or if in a hurry fast travel), but considering the time it takes to level it to master (and the incredibly crappy hit detection on objects, where you keep falling off after you land on something), I don't think its really worth getting the skill for.

This does not say that people who jump in the game are stupid... It makes your character look stupid... "Stupid people" can refer to either the characters in the game or the people playing it. (SAT Grammar section preaches this)
So depending on how one looks at it, due to insufficient details pointing to exactly what she is referring to as "stupid", I thought that she was saying that the people playing the game were stupid. Its all about diction.
Ellie Wrote:Whether or not the skill is worth getting to you, doesn't change the fact that it is there, or that other people level it. Yes, you are right. However though, I think if you have anything negative to say about it, its best kept to yourself. (Not that I'm saying that what you said is negative; those were I guess, good points, but I'm an Oblivion fan and it angers me to see degrading comments directed at one of my favorite games).
As for the whole jumping thing, I think it looks absolutely fine. Doesn't seem stupid to me or anything. I'd rather save my fatigue for the random monster that I might encounter than to waste it all jumping around.
