WOTW fucked me up. Kept draining my life to itself, i could not kill it. Could not do enough damage fast enough.

4/12/2006 11:17:26 AM

i can finally make my own spells, so now i just gotta grind all my skills up to 100 so i can use the ones i want to make, haha

4/12/2006 12:41:24 PM

you can kill will o the wisps with enchanted weapons too.

And my Argonian warrior was level 20 before I did the first gate. And I haven't done anything after that and I am level 27, fully decked out in Deadric armor with strength enchants (my STR is 139) and have over 100k gold, plus a massive armor and weapon collection worth probably another 75k gold.

P.S. Alchemy is the greatest skill in existance.

heh money is so worthless though, i just started leaving crap behind so i could carry more flowers/food/etc.

4/12/2006 1:57:14 PM

^^ dear god, poisons that do 3 kinds of damage? it's great

4/12/2006 2:04:17 PM

well i cant get any of my weapons recharged at any of the mage guilds. i went to multiple ones and talked to everyone and there was no option to get them charged. i had them equipped when i talked and still nuthin. dunno what's wrong.

4/12/2006 4:53:16 PM

its down at the bottom like barter, repair, etc. you obviously are doing something wrong.

4/12/2006 5:06:04 PM

yea i clicked on every single button that was at the bottom when i talked to every person. there was no option to get it recharged for anyone.

4/12/2006 5:45:51 PM

The button looks like a star. Or an exploding vagina.

4/12/2006 6:21:10 PM

it's not there

4/12/2006 7:02:55 PM

I dont know what to tell you bro.
What enchanted weapons are ya'll using??? did you find em or buy em????

4/12/2006 8:38:43 PM

so just buy soul stones and charge um that way.

4/12/2006 9:15:39 PM

they were weapons given to me after completing some odd ball objectives for people. i guess i'll have to do the soul gem thing then.

4/12/2006 9:24:02 PM

Was anyone else dissapointed when they saw mannimarco?

4/14/2006 11:29:03 AM

well i made level 5 yesterday and for shits and giggles i went to a mage to see if my weapons would get recharged and finally they offered to do it. so i'm wondering if u have to be level 5 b4 u can recharge since never b4 level 5 was i able to and then all of a sudden once i made 5 i had the option.

4/14/2006 11:48:37 AM

maybe? I don't know, I always saw it. then again my skill choices were such that I was level 5 before I closed the first oblivion gate (first thing I did really) and level 8 or so before I even went into a guild hall.

4/14/2006 11:50:59 AM

people that train and offer to buy sell, or recharge things are not always available to do so. Like, if they are eating, they won't do it, or if you wake them up, and sometimes just randomly in the middle of the day. It's possible that you just had bad timing.

4/14/2006 12:29:32 PM

so I'm at home, on oblivion withdrawels.

The game is addictive, I love it.

4/14/2006 1:27:54 PM

i'm lvl 14 and havn't even been to kvatch yet... i'm not sure when i'll decide to continue with the main quest :-)

4/14/2006 3:46:08 PM

honestly, I think if you wait too long you fuck yourself. I leveled up to ~lvl 35 and I just tried to go close my 2nd oblivion gate (after pretty much so breezing through the first one at lvl 2) and I got my ass handed to me. I'm thinking I may have to max out my stats in order to beat the game at this point.

4/14/2006 3:52:00 PM

yea i'm gonna do all the side fun stuff b4 doin the main quest again. i restarted a new profile cause i missed out on all the fun stuff my 1st go through. tryin to figure out how to continually increase my levels though at a steady pace.

4/14/2006 3:52:30 PM

you could always change the leveling rate to make it slower.

4/14/2006 6:48:36 PM

Why are glass weapons so much nicer than glass armor? oh well, i'm using deatric armor and an ebony claymore at lvl 21 and nothing stands a chance. Oh, and finally showed those damn will-o-the-whisp bastards who's boss. Man I hate them.

4/18/2006 8:36:41 AM

I keep going down in this one cave that is hard so I try to save the game and the game freezes. Then I finally complete the mission and when I leave the cave then the xbox trys to autosave it freezes. Anyone else have this problem.

part of your problem may be that your pulls bring >1-2 people? Gotta be careful how you attract the enemies so you get 1, maybe 2 at most to fight before you can rest again.

4/18/2006 12:19:01 PM

or just get the invisibility spell

game is 200% easier if no one can see you

4/18/2006 12:25:04 PM

yeah. I didn't try too hard. But basically when I entered the gate there were 2 guys and it took every potion I had just to stay alive. The next single guy kicked my ass straight up. I know there are smart ways of doing it, I'm just not looking forward to it that much.

4/18/2006 1:03:44 PM

High level poison potions can make any battle easy. I've got 2 or 3 that have fire, shock, and poison damage on them as well as a bunch that have 1 element and poinson damage. When I find myself facing 3+ opponents and getting the shit kicked out of me, I stab them all with a shot of poison and try to focus on one at a time. By the time I finish the first, the others are either dead or nearly dead.

4/18/2006 2:22:26 PM

if anyone cares, once you kill your contact at the sanctuary, you'll have a harder time buying lockpicks (until your alteration is up enough to buy and use the spells)...there's a dude named shady sam (or some such) outside of imperial city to the right of the stables, along the wall...you can get 30 for about 5 gold each

4/18/2006 6:17:46 PM

i bought like 1000 lock picks at the start

4/18/2006 11:06:56 PM

nocturnal quest....

4/19/2006 11:03:37 AM

If anyone is already tired of this game, PM me. I want to try to get it on here before I head out to BestBuy.

4/19/2006 2:32:08 PM

i'll sell you my copy for $60 (collector's edition)

4/19/2006 8:59:15 PM

man this character pwns. check it.

4/19/2006 11:48:08 PM

i think i just wet myself a little...and now i won't be able to sleep...THANKS

4/20/2006 1:11:45 AM

^^ LoLoL

If someone wants a fun character, try:

Hand to Hand
Alteration
Mysticism
Heavy Armor
Athletics
Armorer
Restoration

With appropriate fighter focus. There's nothing like going up against a Daedric archer, punching the bow out of his hand, and knocking him out with a hammer blow to the face. Hand to hand is surprisingly satisfying.

4/21/2006 7:56:46 PM

MUST HAVE MODS

Sentient Weapon (fun) - adds a wandering weaponsmith who makes you a special sword that talks to you

http://oblivionsource.com/?page=modforge&op=viewproject&project_id=340

Fathis Fix (fix) - if you're there, you know what i'm talking about

http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2106

Modified Quick Start (functionality) - i don't need to hear the story or do the training AGAIN, really

http://www.oblivionsource.com/?page=modforge&op=viewproject&project_id=210

Well Used Map (functionality) - i like the colored map (buggy for low resolutions, supposed to be fixed soon)

http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2463 (color)
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2462 (antiquated)

Charok's Great Hall (fun) - place is awesome, i use it to store my crap (pointless, but fun anyway)

http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2694

Axebane's Hunters Mod (realistic) - why are the mudcrabs so psycho? i mean, seriously

http://tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1889

Beast Tongue (realistic) - i'd rather my pet wolf follow me ALL DAY LONG

http://www.tescreens.be/oblivionmodwiki/index.php/Fixed_Beast_Tongue_Power

Chase Camera Mod (fix) - the camera mode was a little buggy, this fixes it

http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1840

Deadlier Sneaking (realistic) - i think it balances the game based on what it SAYS my ability is

http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1866

OblivionTime (realistic) - let's you slow down the amount of time that causes a day to pass

http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1866

Quad Damage for Archers (realistic) - i don't use the full 4x, but seriously, let's see you get shot in the face with an arrow and have it only annoy you as opposed to making you fall down in bloody pain

http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2092

Vanity Camera Smoother (fix) - again, camera mode was buggy, it's been fixed

http://tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1852

okay, so you don't HAVE to have them, but i'm a pretty big fan of balanced mods and adding a little reality to the games (where applicable, of course...after all, the game itself isn't realistic so you can only go so far)...i realize there are a lot of fun mods out there, these are just the ones that made the game more fun for ME

4/22/2006 4:07:07 PM

Does Oblivion require a cd-key to play online?

4/22/2006 4:13:37 PM

you can play online?

4/22/2006 4:15:21 PM

um, single player only bud.

4/22/2006 4:17:02 PM

oh my bad. I thought it was like WoW this whole time

4/22/2006 4:18:06 PM

i think that if they combined the best of:

guildwars
wow
oblivion

i'd probably buy the game and never leave my room

4/22/2006 4:21:06 PM

It seems that people are making mods to improve certain classes and always say "more realistic" no matter what changes

4/22/2006 4:41:02 PM

the only mod up there that applies to your comment is the beast tongue (archer improves anyone who uses it, INCLUDING the enemy)...and the beast tongue just means that the wolf follows me for 24 hours, which is the amount of time before i can charm it again anyway, so it doesn't unbalance the game in the least

4/22/2006 4:52:23 PM

the enemies who use archery seem to be few and far between though. im sorry but getting hit with a sword would kill or mortally wound most ppl in a few swipes, but u dont see me whining.

4/22/2006 5:30:40 PM

eh, to each his own...i use magic more than arrows, but it sucks that i can shoot an unarmored bandit have him take 20 arrows before he dies

4/22/2006 5:41:21 PM

really? I use a daedric bow of winter and daedric arrows and it brings things down extremely fast.

4/22/2006 6:21:15 PM

let me shoot you in the face with my 45lb recurve with cheap, blunted walmart arrows and see how long you last

yes yes, i realize this is fantasy, and of course it's not real, and the very POINT of the game is that it's not real and therefore fun, but unnatural creatures from the oblivion aside, i think it should hurt an unarmored human character, at least a little, when i shoot them point-blank in the head

4/22/2006 6:29:50 PM

making spells is fun.


Fire Damage
Weakness to fire
Soul Trap


Nice little spell. Adding soul trap and weakness are cheap and effective add ons!

4/22/2006 7:11:20 PM

fantasy or not, games that you kill ppl in 1 hit generally get boring. work for it.

4/22/2006 10:03:34 PM
