The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

[fox09]

Damn, I want this game, but at the moment, I'm a frickin' hobo, and can't afford it.

 

 

Hah, my friend got it though, he bought this, put it in his drive, and realized his archaic DVD drive wouldn't run it. Of course, then he realized that his archaic video card isn't supported either.

 

I lol'ed at him.

Ebony armour > Daedric armour

Imperial Legion armour > both of those.

 

(If only for it's looks..)

 

I've just joined the Thieves guild. Which I recommend everyone do. Selling stolen goods is the best source of income there is. Plus you can get the recruiter to pay off your warrants.

I'll check it out first thing when I get home. Just been using the console to get and try stuff out this evening. Will have a look at the Legion gear tomorrow morning before jumping back on my proper Save and working for the Brotherhood.

How does one go about joining the Thieves Guild?

Look at posters of Grey fox or speak to the guy when you are serving time

after you get the topic from the wanted posters you can talk to any beggar about the grey fox and reply "I want to work for him" and they'll tell you what to do (aslong as they like you).

Also if you get arrested enough someone will come up to you with a note telling you where to meet the person that joins you

I'm trying to get this in game (I was bored when I made it) Tree Armour

 

But when one wears it, it makes the upperbody just disappear, and only shhows the bottom half of the model.

 

I have no idea why, but I feel I should spend less time modding the game and more time playing it.

Blasphemy. This game was meant to be modded. Once the community gets proper mod authoring tools (such as how to f*cking implement Havok into armor so it won't disappear) and is allowed to release individual quests, something could happen that has never happened in a game I've played.

 

This game could possibly go on FOREVER. Think about that. Unless modders get bored, they could release new quests, items, and whatnot for as long as they want. 100% completion could become a moot point.

It'll be like Morrowind, which still has things being released for it today.

 

 

Anyway good point, I have more fun modding the game anyway.

 

Liam, Yeah, it's going to rock for Elves, i'm going to make a small town outside the borders of Oblivion (Cyrodiil?) with a mini quest, a new race and when I finish it all, a full set of armour.

Trows, I think you'll find good use of this then.

You guys gotta unlock the rest of the game, about 75% of it is locked.

I was following that thread when it started, and already explored a good deal of the landscape looking for places to build things, which i've found.

 

Currently the mod will be in the forests of the Black Marsh province.

You have to buy the mod via www.elderscrolls.com or www.obliviondownloads.com.

 

@Trows: When do you plan on starting? I'm getting a new pc around 13-20th may, so I'd like to participate in building it if I may, but I can't do it on this pc.

No idea, I don't have it myself. PM MMmS and ask him.

 

[Dunpeal]

How do you make your own quests, id love to make my own town but i have no Modeling skills. Quest making odesnt need any of that does it?

 

Is there a free alternative to the Horse mod?

[Trows]

ImHereToStay: I started playing around in the editor a bit, i'm just going to do a little bit of work for it here and there, nothing full time. But sure, yourself, and anyone else who wants to help, i'd be happy to send what little I have done.

 

Dun: download the TESCS. If you wanna make quests, you need to know the scripting language which is used.

When you load up your game you should of got a quest message about some person selling horse armor. If you didn't get it, check your quests and that you've installed it properly.

[MyMothersMySister]

After putting the horsearmour modfiles in the correct directory, Fire up Oblivion and select Data from the list instead of play. Make sure the horse mod box is checked or you won't get the message when you get in game.

 

Then you must proceed to the stables outside the Imperial city. If you don't take a horse you can convince the chick to sell you a sh*tty one with armour for 500 coins like the one in my pics.

 

 

I found the thieves guild bummers hanging around the Imperial city shacks at night. Armand and his crew. This is a picture of me taking their lunch money!

 

 

@ Dalpura, Did you mean the Imperial Dragon Armour? It is quite sweet.

 

 

Also went and pimped a black horse up with the Elven armour. Whos said Elves where for gays again. That sh*t is pimp yo'

 

[Forfit]

I just bought this game yesterday and it's really great and everything, however it runs like poo on my system. Is there something you guys changed to make it run better? I'm getting 9-14FPS average and i've only seen it go over 20Frames once. I'm running 1024x768 and running at 800x600 doesn't change a thing, in fact changing anything doesn't change a thing. I have 1gig ram, 6800, AMD3200+ yada yada. I want it to be more playable

[BroDan]

I don't like the Elven armour, it's faggy.

 

Also everyone in here is loving there daedric armour and sh*t and here is me still going round in black robes because i'm too cool to wear armour and can take the pain.

 

I completed every part of the game without armour on so far

I haven't earned any of that great armour. That's my pissing around Savegame with me using the console to get the stuff I want to have a looksee.

 

Elven armour is too hardcore for you that's all.

[BroDan]

Cheating to have a looksee is f*cking gay! You spoil half the game by doing that.

 

Nothing beats running round on a black horse with black robes and a f*cking katana

 

I feel like a mutha f*ckin ninja *moo chop*

Sounds like me. I ran around forever in only the red robes and hood from the very start. Eventually I went to light armor and red hood. Looks pretty shifty.. fits my character good.

On my game I wear the Dark Brotherhood armour and sneak round like a ninja with invisibilty power. I also use the dagger they gave me for my kills. It's sexy. Blade of Woe or something. That's the only gamesave I complete quests on

 

How can I spoil the game by wearing armour I won't see until I can be arsed levelling up to silly amounts and twatting some big mean bastard in order to steal it?

 

nob.

 

Was Morrowind any good?

[BroDan]

I never played morrowind, Sarah has it somewhere but I never got round to trying it and you're the nob, half the fun is playing the game and EARNING new things!

 

Just completed some sh*tty quest that gave me +3 blade skill permanently Now @ 73 Blade Skill.

How does one go about joining the Thieves Guild?

What I did to join the Thieve's Guild is steal something, find a guard, and use the go to jail option. Preferably do this in the Imperial City. When you get out there's a dark elf who gives you a note. It says go to Dareloth Gardens at midnight. I found this a bit confusing to be honest; finding exactly where that is. Go to the Imperial City waterfront, and go behind off the stone path, there'll be some wooden houses, etc - and a garden behind the house on the far inside wall. Talk to the guy there. If he says he's waiting for the Argonian and Wood Elf, and they're actually there. Talk to the Wood Elf then to guy again and it'll work. When I went there the Wood Elf was standing kinda strange so I assume something bugged.

 

Then you do what you have to do to get into the guild. I won't spoil that, but feel free to ask if you have trouble. Once you've done that you can sell your stolen wares to the guy in Bruma. Just pay off your warrants to the Thieve's Guild recruiter in the garden before you go to sell anything; otherwise it's a bitch getting in and out without getting caught by the Bruma guards.

 

@ BroDan & MmMs - I never played Morrowind either. For the simple fact when it was popular I was at school, and didn't want to touch it for the simple fact I heard almost everyday from the class idiot how awesome "Mowwowind" was. Further more I'm never going to try it. I've seen screenshots and after playing Oblivion I don't think I could stand the sight of it.

 

 

@ Dalpura, Did you mean the Imperial Dragon Armour? It is quite sweet.

Actually no. The armour the Imperial soldiers wear I meant, with the variation horseman helmet. But that's pretty hot also, haven't come across that yet I don't think.

[C Bear]

I played a lot of Morrowind, it was definately a great game. In fact, it's still in the top 25 selling PC games right now, 4 years after its release.

Sounds odd, your system is definately supposed to be able to handle it. Go on the official forums and search for some .ini's twealed for 6800 owners, and you should be able to get your fps up to 30 outside, 60 inside, without losing much good looks.

 

I played Morrowind too, it was good, but it was for hardcore gamers. Oblivion was obviously dumbed down so it was more for the softcore action gamers, but I personally don't mind. For example, Morrowind had: Short Blade, Long Blade, not just Blade. It also had no compas, and no help for finding stuff on quests, except the info people gave you. That was the biggest flaw in the game imo, I only ever completed two quests in two years of playing it, though Morrowind probably isnt a game for 11-12yo's. The terrain was very boring in Morrowind(imo), it had no mountains, though it claimed to have some, it was just brown hills, and it had the most boring creatures and monsters ever.

 

But, all in all, I'd take Oblivion over MW anyday.

 

 

@Dalpura: There is a MUCH easier way than doing that. Read the posters, bribe a beggar, and he will tell you where. Then you go there, and it all goes by itself.

 

@Trows: Cool, I'd really like to help out too, but I have to way till mid-May to start learning the CS and such, so you might be near completion when I finally get to doing something.

Morrowind had Cliff Racers, the single most annoying enemy ever.

 

 

Enough said.
