they can be nearly impossible to kill as a theif without some silver jawnz. that said i finished all the theives guild quests, hooray for me.

i just finished up all the dark brotherhood ones


i guess ill just start killing everyone in their sleep now.

3/31/2006 5:12:35 PM

what guilds do you get shit for joining other than the dark brotherhood?

Also, anyone found any repituble sites for crash fixes and system tweaks? tweakguide.com has one coming out for oblivion soon but not till the end of next week

Also, tried to steal that big ass sword from the dark brotherhood vampire guy and got caught obviously. but I killed the ghost sent to kill me and took his cool knife. thing rulez. guess I gotta offend the brotherhood more to get lootz from the things sent to kill me to join again

3/31/2006 8:18:41 PM

I watched someone play this game...and i thought it was cool how he beat up some dudes wife and stole her clothes then looted her house...lolz

3/31/2006 10:57:23 PM

played for a little bit as a warrior, seems a helluva lot easier.

3/31/2006 11:03:02 PM

battlemage is a pretty good class to play if you want to be a tank, that or spellsword.

4/1/2006 12:00:11 AM

Does anyone know of any shop keepers with more than 1200 gold? I've got about 60,000 worth of weapons and armor to sell but I'll be dammed if I'm selling a 8000 chest-plate for 1200 gold.

Yeah, so winning the arena is seriously a cash cow. After you win you get to fight animals for cash. My last fight paid out 2,500 gold as a prize, plus I got to keep 3 3000+ weapons from the minotaurs that I killed.

So I've made 3 new games so far...pretty much because I get curious and start trolling on the Oblivion forums and reading about stuff, then realize that I'm past that point in the game and I didn't pick the optimal path that's irreversible and got screwed out of something very important. Then I say to myself "FUCKKKK" and create a new game.

4/1/2006 7:19:42 AM

you ever think to just play through a couple times, then look. you wont feel disappointed if you just play and enjoy yourself.

that said, i made a warrior cuz i beat the theives guild and was getting bored of sneaking slowly and getting my ass kicked up close. wanted to try out alchemy too.

4/1/2006 8:50:25 AM

you just aint got no skillz chris

4/1/2006 11:06:46 AM

im the guild leader, you should obey me young theif.

4/1/2006 11:39:32 AM

Bring it on mother of all that is failing

4/1/2006 11:41:40 AM

money can only buy so much in this game...Whats the point of having 60k?

4/1/2006 5:47:39 PM

houses, all of them

4/1/2006 5:51:59 PM

yeah and then after you buy the houses you have to spend insane amounts of money to furnish them or else you don't complete that mission. It sucks, but it gives you something to spend your money on.

4/1/2006 6:25:43 PM

spoilers

so I here from the vampire guy in the dark brotherhood that the count of skingrad is a vampire. So I decide to see if I can get to him to kill him just cause he is a vampire.

Long story short, I try to kill him but cant because hes important to the game apparantly, kill some guards steal there keys and end up not having a bounty on my head.....for whatever reason.

Anyhoo, im running around the castle cause I can open every door with the keys and I end up in the dungeon. I open all the cells, nothing. Then I notice at the end of the hall there is a mark on the wall like a door had once been there. I do the standard gaming tests by swinging my blade at it, hit use abunch of times and nothing. then I notes a unlite candle stick next to it. Get closer, and sure enough, its a trigger for a secret tunnel that leads you to the dining hall.

I am assuming it is just in case I go to jail I can get my stuff and go out that way without having to deal with all the guards. there is also one in impereal city, so that leads me to beleive that every jail has a secret way out.

And how about finding random things while randomly slaughtering a castle being for teh winz.

4/1/2006 11:56:01 PM

Yeah, you tend to go through some of the passages during the Thieves guild missions. It especially opens a ton of stuff through the Imperial sewers as well.

*Semi spoilers*

Btw, I'm currently the Listener for the Dark Brotherhood, the Gray Fox, Master of the Fighter's Guild and Arch Mage. It was a bit disappointing that you can essentially become Arch Mage without using any spells whatsoever (Assasin/Thief build).

4/2/2006 12:14:04 AM

^^Instead of a spoiler warning you should have warned of impending horrible spelling. Christ, you're in college, is it too much to ask to know the difference between here and hear? or their and there?

4/2/2006 12:46:08 AM

thats more of a word choice issue than spelling. either way, you need the count to become a normal human again (if your a vamp) which is probably why you cant kill him.

4/2/2006 8:38:55 AM

Quote :

"apparantly...abunch...unlite...impereal...beleive..."

Not just poor word selection.

Then again you don't know the difference between your and you're and can't spell thief, so why am I not surprised you defended him?

holy crap waaah

next time I give a shit about how I spell on a message board I will ask your permission to speak

4/2/2006 11:54:08 AM

The next time I want to discuss a game with a semi-literate moron, I'll go to boards.ign.com. This is a college message board supposedly full of educated people, and if you can't be bothered to put 2 seconds of thought into your posts then don't bitch at me when I make fun of you.

4/2/2006 12:30:32 PM

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

and lets not turn this thread into a bitching fest ok, have more respect

"look guys i just cant talk to you if you continue to excerise such poor finger manipulation skills, and all educated people dont make mistakes...its science!"

4/2/2006 5:13:58 PM

yeah sry, that i post quickly and once in a blue moon use the incorrect your or there. it happens rarely, but the 1 out of 1000 times that it happens some homo calls me on it.

I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND THUS SHALL AGAIN. IF IT IS CONSTANTLY HAPPENING YOU CAN WHINE AND BITCH, BUT A SLIP UP HERE OR THERE IS NOT THAT BIG OF A DEAL.

that said, beu's post did have quite a few errors, but as long as i can read it i dont care much.

[Edited on April 2, 2006 at 8:14 PM. Reason : the youre thing is especially true since i dont use apostrophes much on the web]

4/2/2006 8:12:26 PM

Its definatly about the message, not about how its delivered.

4/2/2006 8:49:04 PM

the only time it bothers me is when someone is ranting about someone else or attempting to flame. otherwise id much rather a constructive post with poor spelling than someone bitching about it.

that said my game has been very crappy because of the scratched disk. it is weird since this is the only game or movie that has been scratched and it hasnt seemed to make it any worse. guess it decided i was playing too much.

4/2/2006 8:53:56 PM

That seems like what happened.

So I got offered to become a vampire....I dont know if I should become one or not. I would get bonuses stat wise but what exactly would be the sacrifices?

4/2/2006 10:30:02 PM

basically you get +10 to most stats and some skills (sneak, etc) and have only a minor weakness to fire....as long as you feed. once you stop your stats go up 5 each stage (3 varying stages of craziness) and you get a new spell. unfortunately you also begin to take mega sun damage and thus cant fast travel during the day. many npc's will avoid you or won't give you information. the stat bonuses are nice but it is generally more annoying than it is worth.

4/2/2006 11:24:03 PM

just got be antisocial and have shadowmere i guess


that being said, im not a vampire

4/3/2006 12:04:48 AM

Ok, just got into Arcane University.

Question about enchanting weapons.

You have 3 sliders.
1) Damage
2) Area
3) Duration

My questions is about them, but mainly duration.

If I made a weapon with
1) 10 frost damage
2) 10 ft. area
3) duration 2

That would be 10 damage(1), to everything withing 10 feet(2), then twice(only once more), once for the duration of 2 seconds(3). I am assuming that the same ones damaged the first time would then be damaged again.

So, if I had a duration of 4, they would get damaged 10 points each second for 4 seconds???

Is this how duration works?

4/3/2006 9:29:02 AM

Have any of you encoutered the problem of completing tasks of a quest without first "officially" learning of the task in the game? Like I go exploring alot and go into caves and ruins alot and kick ass when I can but I wonder if doing some of these tasks are what people would have asked me to do later?
nevermind its too early in the morning and I dont think Im making sence. Im inside the crumbling mine right now tryin to figure out how to open park of the rock so I can get into the other room.

4/3/2006 9:50:11 AM

spoilers

I considered killing this guy in burmal(sp?) and his body guard, and did, but since there was nothing worth stealing in the house(there never is), I reloaded and let them be. Later on after joining the dark brotherhood I had to make it look like an accident by dropping this mounted head of an animal on him.

Overall I have yet to see any reason to kill someone if it isnt quest related. But as far as clearing dungeons, thats just fun. Dont know how much of it would be quest related.

I mean I have killed a guard, took the keys, and searched the ENTIRE caslte for ANYTHING worth stealing. All I find is a little gold, shitty silver goblets and yarn. wtf its a castle.

[Edited on April 3, 2006 at 10:00 AM. Reason : dasd]

4/3/2006 9:58:42 AM

someone look at my question please.

4/3/2006 10:31:58 AM

yea i was in the Bruma Castle yesterday and i was lookin for good shit to steal cause i figured it was a castle, gotta be lots of good stuff. but alas, not a damn thing worthwhile to steal.

4/3/2006 10:35:04 AM

i think if you find ppl quest related within a dungeon it will add that quest to your journal, but im not sure. plenty of the ruins arent really quest related though so i woudlnt worry about it too much.

4/3/2006 10:35:10 AM

Aint shit in Bruma castle to steal, I've looked at everything in there. Anyone knows of good places to steal shit?

4/3/2006 10:43:15 AM

SPOLIERS

Just beat the game, was anybody else horribly dissatisfied with how short the main quest line was??

4/3/2006 11:19:09 AM

thats why i didnt bother going through it, i figured it would be really short. the sheer length of the guild quests is nice though. played for 25-30 and only did up the theives guild, some slight exploration, and up to the part of the main quest where you have to first talk to a guy in the imperial city.

4/3/2006 11:40:23 AM

I crash sometimes when I try to exit an area, and when I shoot at a monster when the arror hits. I dont know why. Anyone have any similar problems or know about any patches coming out?

4/3/2006 1:47:50 PM

FYI: Xbox 360 users can now buy horse armor from the xbox live marketplace.

4/3/2006 2:39:12 PM

im glad they are doing that through the marketplace, but truthfully:

1) how often do you use your horse?
2) how often do you get attacked while on the horse?

seems pointless to me. fast travel and horses seem not to mix well.

4/3/2006 2:42:53 PM

tons of people on other message boards I read always seem to complain how random baddies are always attacking and killing their horse. It's never happened to me, but I suppose it could happen. More likely than not, it's just Microsoft's way of getting your $3.

4/3/2006 2:45:15 PM

shadowmere is apparently immortal because that bitch got killed on a mission once and came back to life!!! She also attacks people..

4/3/2006 4:16:20 PM

"Just beat the game, was anybody else horribly dissatisfied with how short the main quest line was??"

Yeah, I was really surprised at how quickly it ended. But I still have tons of quests left to do, though, so it's not like the game's over.

As for horses...yeah, I never ride mine. It just fast travels with me.

4/3/2006 5:19:32 PM

it helps when you have to go somewhere new, but it isnt that much better than just walking.

4/3/2006 5:25:09 PM

eh, the black horses are about 3 times faster than walking

4/3/2006 5:55:58 PM

Is there any way to pay someone to enchant an item?

I stole a nice elven bow, but the bow I have is better due to its magic abilities but the elven does better base dmg. And the one thing I can enchant it with isnt nearly as good.

4/4/2006 9:49:02 PM

you have to get up there in the mage's guild.

4/4/2006 9:54:35 PM

exchanged my copy at best buy, GOD DAMN is a warrior easy. the entire arena takes maybe 10 minutes to finish.
