Oblivion :D

[Aada]

I've been mucking about with what the game can do.. chucked a wolf into a stream and saw it float down for about 2mins and over a huge waterfall was abit of a wow moment

I love being a Vampire too.. i'm a full vampire which means i haven't fed for 4 days and have an insane stat increase + some damn fine spells. Plus it adds a sort of element that i cannot travel in the day time.

Few times i have been caught out in the open in sunlight and the first time it happened my character was SMOKING i was like wtf is going on then i noticed my health going down really fast and i died

Its really going to be a week or so before i even scratch the surface of this game, theres just so much to do really the first 360 game i can say was worth the £50 price tag.

ive played god knows how long now. havent done anything from the main quest. ive done 2 quests at the imperial city. ive got my self into some shit finding a special root that no ones seen in god knows how long. ive killed the town lunatic and am in the underworld of buying and selling.

its pretty deep

 

[Aada]

Yeah i love the fact you can go off and do what you want, theres loads of dungeons on this game and they are all freaking huge filled with traps also.

 

[supersaint]

Yeah the traps in the dungeons are great.Was watching my cousin in a dungeon running over a bridge past some swinging balls on chains,after getting past it he looked round to see a rat who was chasing him get hit and killed by one of the swinging balls lol,was funny as hell.

Ive made a thief character,with Speachcraft and Mercantile as major skills.Going round robbing houses and selling the loot to Orgar(sp?) in the thiefs guild,great fun.This game gets better the more i play it.

 

[Aada]

how the hell do you get into the theifs guild? where is it?!

read the mysterious note

 

[supersaint]

Yeah,some woman gave me a note.Don't know if you have to do something to make her appear,can't remember stealing anything before seeing her.I was on a quest and she just appeared.

 

[supersaint]

I remember how i triggered the woman to give you the note----

Spoiler

i had to get myself arrested for a quest to talk to a guy in jail so i stole something and got arrested.When i left the jail the woman appeared.

 

[Aada]

ive done jail time.. but i'm already in a guild so is that why she doesn't come to me?>

 

[Aada]

Ok so i'm doing the test to join the guild but i can't find that bitch that stole the book.. where is she?

 

[tris-]

supersaint, thats different from how i got it .

just goes to show, the game is very far from linear.

 

[Deacan]

I've done the Arena quest line with my Nord (messed up my Redguard) with the gold I earned from it I brought myself a Black Stallion cost me 5000 gold but damn its bloody fast.

Also a spoiler about something I bumped into in the wild.

Spoiler

When exploring I also bumped into the Unicorn, soon as I got near it its ran off at lightning speed, this was before I had my black stallion

 

[Aada]

Cool man i got the Shadowmere (horse) from the Brotherhood quests it can't die and always attacks people who attack you.

I'm amazed at how many dungeons there are.. discovered over 20 so far.. and only been in 2.. thats with not even half the map unocovered.

Got top rank with the Brotherhood aswell now got some nice little bits at the end.. and seeing as i'm second in command of the Brotherhood now (freaking awsome plot btw) i have my own ''Family'' who i get money off week

Still haven't touched the main quest there is just so much to do i'm suprised they crammed it all onto one disc.

 

[PLightstar]

Its so Good!

lost my entire weekend to it, and am loving every part of it to the point where I was over a hour late me my friends and I didn't care and the time spent out with them was thinking I haven't come across an Oblivion gate yet and I've only got to get the recommendation from Anvrils Mages Guild then off to the imperial city. When I got home I played and faced my first Gate and now some guys making my shock staff in the universtiy.

need to level up so that I can carry more stuff so I can plunder those dungeons.

 

[Aada]

Yeah i think i'm going to have a crack at a gate this week.

 

[taB]

Went through a gate with my level 5 guy, killed some scamps. Met a daedra...ran away

Glad I put all those points into Speed!

Haven't really bothered with horses yet, like to bounce everywhere like Tigger so i can get my acrobatics skill up. Tumbling is very cool (when you reach 50 pts) but you have to change the default keys as pressing E, D & right mouse is a bit awkward in a fight.

Ben.

EDIT: whoops, console forum. You plebs won't have key problems

 

[Aada]

I'm quite suprised at how well the controller works for the game.. everything just seems to fit in snuggly and you never need to hold down 3 buttons then press another one to do something

This game has game of the year written all over it.

 

[Aada]

This is weird i can use the best fence in theives guild apprently but when i go to sell stuff there isn't a barter icon.

 

[PLightstar]

alot of people are saying to do the MQ as early as possible as it becomes insanely harder when you are at higher levels, as im in the Imperial capital as the mo I may contiune the main quest.

Heh i'm not rushing i'll wait until i'm ready i'm just so busy with the side quests atm.

 

[PLightstar]

Its taking me awhile to get everywhere at the mo as im trying not to use fast-travel, I went along the backroads to get from anvil to Bruma, some of the views are amazing as you look out across cyrodill. at lunch time I ventured north -east of chrool (sp?) and I found a shrine to azura looks like there are deadra worshippers have to see if there are any other deadra shrines.

also does anyone know what the Dragon stones sticking out the ground are for?
I try to select them but it says its looking for a more powerful hero.

 

[taB]

Azura's shrine is a good little quest. Gives you one of the most useful items (at least it was in Morrowind - not used it yet). Found it from the guys in town as a rumour .

 

[Aada]

I found a great bow today Dragon Bow sets whoever i shoot it at on fire looks great in a dungeon when you set someone alight and the whole room lights up.

Seeing as i'm top rank in the Brotherhood i have a minion Murderer following me now lol

wo hey hang on a sec, can you not use spoilers?!

 

[Aada]

Sorry bud will do next time.

 

[Deacan]

If things get to hard just turn the difficulty down a notch, then when your ready put it back to what it was.

No point getting frustrated you can still enjoy the game.

 

[Stimpy]

Main problem I've got atm is hardly being able to carry anything (stick my armour on and I'm almost at full capacity), been in 3 dungeons and am leaving loads of stuff behind that I could sell, however it seems dungeons don't reset so I could just keep going back to pick the stuff up kind of boring though, I say they don't reset but I only went back a day later and found it to still be the same do they reset after a few days?

 

[Aada]

I know items are meant to stay there.. i think they would reset soon though no point in playing if you have killed everything

 

[PLightstar]

I think they reset after 2 weeks, played last night and went to Vindassel (go out the gate of the imperial city across the bridge and head south till u get to the crossroads that leads either to skingrad or east go east and its along that road can't miss it) and I got myself some kick ass armour and sword the Umbra sword and ebony armour (im a lvl 5) weighs a ton but so good at the mo the sword stikes with a 10 which is great and it soultraps things aswell, the women you got to kill is difficult but I learnt the hard way (after using most of my potions and scrolls and my sword and bow not having much effect on her) that Frost spells kill her I fought her for nearly 10 minutes and I got owned my iron armour was completly broke by the time the fight finished and it got down to my last bit of health and magicka and I hit her with a touch frost spell and she went down.

Well you weren't wrong im lvl 15 and getting my ass handed to me.. maybe its coz i don't have enough potions... but its not like they are freaking cheap either!

I may remake a character with resto.
