Hi,
Most of you know that the new Elder Scrolls game, Oblivion, is coming out very soon. I was wondering if anyone else would be playing it while training for BS5 or some other high level skill.

I've been watching the game progress - looks good. I can only hope that the new AI and scripting can solve, or at least ease the biggest problem of Morrowind: you're essentially living in a static, dead world with identikit npc's. That really ruined the fun of it for me. :S -------------------------------------------------- Loyalty, Integrity, Honour. |

Edited by: Saeris Tal''Urduar on 14/03/2006 04:21:46 The guy at Gaming Steve got to play 6 hours of it mixed between the xbox360 version and the PC version.
If I remember correctly he said all quests (and maybe all dialog) will be voiced over...no more reading text.
Hes talking about it in 3 different parts about 20mins per show. I've only had the chance to listen to his first one...but if what he says is true the screens that we've all been seeing dont do the rest of the game justice.
I'm seriously debating on doing a preorder...and I never do preorders. Thats how hyped I am about this game.

oblivion is set on a different continent to morrowind so the story from that won't be that important. however, understanding the backstory between the races often helps to make sense of things

My time in the last game consisted of 30 minutes wondering where to go next followed by 30 minutes running around a small village stealing everything before being chased out of town.
I then wandered for about 5 minutes before a magician fell out the sky, then i found a cave where something i couldnt attack killed me instantly.
Thus concluded my time in the elder scrolls.
Despite that I am still looking forward to Oblivion

Edited by: Amataras on 17/03/2006 01:14:53 Today I bought PC Gamer UK. They gave Oblivion 93% but said it could have had 96% if it wasn't for the poor way in which NPCs talk to each other. Since its probably the first game ever where NPCs actually interact based on their A.I. i think i can over look the slight flaws.
Overall though it is amazing apparently ------- The Eve Diplomacy Table |

Bah! I will have to wait for like 3 or 4 months to be actually able to play it. Those games you have to order thru places like Amazon for them to ever delivered here in Venezuela , and it's a pain for me to order them besides having to make a trip to Miami and pick it up at a local game store hehe. Anyway when I get it, I will also leave BS to 5 -"There's no worst blindness than that of those that do not want to see"- |

I've had the Collector's Edition pre-ordered for 6 months now. I never pre-order, but no Elder Scrolls game has failed me yet, and by the looks of the previews this wont either.
I played Morrowind for 6 months. I also had the same thing happen to me, when I started I had no idea where to go and what to do. Uninstalled. Then after a few months when I played all my other games through and only had Morrowind left, I thought myself.. "Why not!". And there we went. It was a little hard at the beginning, but the more I played the more I liked it.
You need to live yourself in, and you need to do 1 thing at a time. Otherwise you end up with 1000 unfinished quests and no idea where to go. The Journal wasn't the best solution for that tbh.
Anyway 2 days to go! Well not.. we'll get it 2 weeks after it's released in my Country.

As far as I know, is 24th March here in the UK...makes it Friday 4 days from now...I'm trembling with anticipation! The only games that have had this effect on me in the past were the Hitman series, Thief series and anything BioWare. Morrowind was a great game, albeit with a few flaws, though it nonetheless took nothing away from it.
I'm hoping Oblivion takes what Bethesda created with Morrowind and just makes it bigger, better looking and sounding with more story and open-ended bits. That's what Morrowind was renowned for I think. Even if it's *more of the same* it will be a great game, but with the improved AI, GFX, combat/magic system I expect it will be even greater. I already have BS5 so will have to find something else to train! Hehe...actually it probably won't make much difference to my in-game presence, I'm rarely on these days. -------------

well, I was heavily involved in the morrowind mod scene, some of the works I was involved in getting some press coverage, and generally, driving me insane
Oblivion's FPS engine looks gorgeous, but leave me with one worry - a lot of FPS games give me motion sickness after only an hour of play.
anyone else have the same problem in games, and/or found the same with oblivion - I'd love to know before I buy on friday?

You can't even run it. You need a card which can do pixel/vertex shaders 2 to even start the game up.

Originally by: Vyper Ophidian That would be awesome to see middle earth in the oblivion engine, I have and will always be a big fan of middle earth.... especially when it is done by an independant company like MeMod Companies like EA and the others that put out a game with the MIDDLE EARTH title but with no heart or content just plain irritate me. I'm not going to go on a rant anymore, just thought I would give you guys some credit where it was do Suze'Rain I hope to see your middle earth creativity at work in Oblivion
oooh, don't get me started on middle-earth online. it's been suggested that the tolkien fascists unite, and form a player-killer team specifically to murder leet-speaking bunnies who masscre tolkien's vision. I'm tempted. oh, so tempted.
sadly, no chance of a memod for Oblivion, all the same licensing legalities that killed memod would crop up again. If the art assets are released, it'll be as a set, (probably for modders, rather than as a mod in itself) without any LOTR references left over.
I'm slightly tempted to try something a less serious, and make a Discworld mod if we can get terry pratchett's permission, in person with a definate face-to-face permission. We've been joking about making a parody of Oblivion's storyline, revolving around Mustrum Ridcully, the Unseen Univeristy, and the Dungeon Dimensions. "serious" fantasy is so po-faced that a vicious parody rather appeals - especially after the anally-retentive detail that was memod. Theta's rather tickled by that, and Kahenraz might have time, and that's the old core of memod all working together.
Otherwise, we're looking at finding a nicely deserted corner of the map, and making a homage to HP Lovecraft's "the Shadow over innsmouth" in a sleepy coastal village.
course, on the opposite end of the modding spectrum, I still want to build a team and make an Eve-Online inspired mod for unreal tournament - all that lovely backstory, and visuals. I'd just kill for an UT assault mode of a boarding party battling through the interior of a caracal or thorax, to reach the bridge and jettison/disengage the pod
so many ideas, so little time.

I bought it last night and started playing around 7pm EST.
I think I went to bed around 6aM EST.
It is now 3:20 ESt, and I've just started again.
P.S. Those katanas the Blades use are freakin SWEET. As is putting an arrow in someone's head, and watching them drop like a pile of bricks.
Custom class: Combat Strength/agility Blades, block, armorer, athletics, marksman, sneak, light armor.
I have to play with anti-aliasing off though, because my raedon 9800 has some sort of issue with the wavey effects of certain spells and the oblivion gates.

Originally by: Vyper Ophidian That would be awesome to see middle earth in the oblivion engine, I have and will always be a big fan of middle earth.... especially when it is done by an independant company like MeMod Companies like EA and the others that put out a game with the MIDDLE EARTH title but with no heart or content just plain irritate me. I'm not going to go on a rant anymore, just thought I would give you guys some credit where it was do Suze'Rain I hope to see your middle earth creativity at work in Oblivion
oooh, don't get me started on middle-earth online. it's been suggested that the tolkien fascists unite, and form a player-killer team specifically to murder leet-speaking bunnies who masscre tolkien's vision. I'm tempted. oh, so tempted.
sadly, no chance of a memod for Oblivion, all the same licensing legalities that killed memod would crop up again. If the art assets are released, it'll be as a set, (probably for modders, rather than as a mod in itself) without any LOTR references left over.
I'm slightly tempted to try something a less serious, and make a Discworld mod if we can get terry pratchett's permission, in person with a definate face-to-face permission. We've been joking about making a parody of Oblivion's storyline, revolving around Mustrum Ridcully, the Unseen Univeristy, and the Dungeon Dimensions. "serious" fantasy is so po-faced that a vicious parody rather appeals - especially after the anally-retentive detail that was memod. Theta's rather tickled by that, and Kahenraz might have time, and that's the old core of memod all working together.
Otherwise, we're looking at finding a nicely deserted corner of the map, and making a homage to HP Lovecraft's "the Shadow over innsmouth" in a sleepy coastal village.
course, on the opposite end of the modding spectrum, I still want to build a team and make an Eve-Online inspired mod for unreal tournament - all that lovely backstory, and visuals. I'd just kill for an UT assault mode of a boarding party battling through the interior of a caracal or thorax, to reach the bridge and jettison/disengage the pod
so many ideas, so little time.

All I can say is wow, the graphics are insane, I wish I had a better graphics card though gforce 6800 GS 256DDR. Any computer ppl know if it would better better to put second card SLId in there or a single card with a better chip?

How the hell do I cure that vampirism disease? I seem to have picked it up while exploring a cave I passed by on my way to ...prove I had what it takes to be an assassin...
Anyone else taking the darker route? My first murder involved alot of chasing, and use of my bow (***** wouldnt stand still).
Eventually got her trapped by a locked door, and i shoot her down. I felt like such a gate camper.

HDR is a sm2.0 function, not 3.0... At least, in most cases. Oblivion seems to be an exception... And Far Cry aswell, on that matter.

High Dynamic Rendering - imitates how the human eye reacts to light.
Something like if you're inside everything outside seems really bright, but when you step outside everything is normally lit and the inside seems really dark etc.

My raedeon 9800 can't do HDR either, and for soem reason Anti-aliasing completely kills my FPS when i look at 'blur-effect' things like oblivion gates., but no biggie. I plan to upgrade my nearly 2year old PC within the next month or so.
what I don't understand is, how do you toggle the 3d bitmapping? For me it's turned off, and I can't find anything to turn it on with. Would suck if my video card simply doesn't support it.

Dont try fsaa/anisotropic on older cards with newer games. Those functions are done by the GPU, which will be way too busy rendering the game in the first place.
HDR does work on a radeon 9800, just not in Oblivion, which uses a px3 version, proably. Source can use it just fine, and there's a test program to test HDR with (rthdribl, google it) to see if it works, which it does.
3d bitmapping? You mean 3d bumpmapping probably (parallax mapping in Oblivion, displacement mapping in Unreal Engine 3), which is also a px3 (pixel shader 3) feature, which only the geforce 6600+ and radeon 1000+ have.

Game is clearly designed for the consoles.
The graphics are not delivering on the demands they make on the hardware. The animations are laggy and plain gross.
What it does, it does good as always - the extreme openness and big world.
But otherwise it feels like a step 4-5 years back, gameplay and especially interface wise. Please resize your signature so that it is within the forum rule size limits - Jacques |

Not sure what you mean by the graphics not delivering on the demands they make on the hardware. If you have a crappy system it looks like crap, if you have a great system the game looks great.
I have a great system and the game is absolute STUNNING.
I agree on the animations, gameplay and the interface though. Especially the interface. Sometimes i wonder if developers actually play their own games because it only takes 5 minutes to see how unintuitive and confusing the interface is... ______________

*yawn*
Played it for four hours, man this game is boring due to several bugs.
The sound code of this game is terrible, speech is only active 50% of the time, footsteps are non-exsistant etc. unless you have a soundcard with 64 hardware channels (have tried on 3 different machines).
It's decently pretty but unless you have HDR able gfx it's not anything special. The characters are badly animated (I'm referring to their face and speech syncronizing, texture tears etc.) and looks like something out of 1995.
What do however look promising is the story, too bad the packaging is not up to par.

"well u nice looking elf u are playing in the blablablablal" [conversation] pls insert disc 17 [ continues the conversation]
If it wasn't done anyway, and the one component I guess wasn't done, it would've been nice for Bethesda to adopt a system like the one used in Half-Life2
Y'know, that one where the people's emotions and faces reacted to a scripting system, that merely took the sound, and automatically applied facial expressions etc to it.
I want to see someone create a text->speech AI system that can actually be influenced by emotion, and that doesn't sound monotonous. That, I think, would allow games to become a lot smaller in size, but also allow for a LOT less voice recording (can you see how I'm trying to get games voice actors fired here? )

I'm still considering whether or not to buy it. Anyone who's stuck into the game so far: what's the atmosphere like? Have Bethseda addressed the 'dead' feeling of Morrowind at all?

10 hours in....
The interface could use some work, wait a week for some mods...
The radiant AI just completely makes the world come alive... So far I've run into people hunting out in the wilderness, I broke into a house to assasinate some rich bumbody and ran into a thief that was busy burglarising the house!
Another time I saw a dog (not a wolf) chasing a high elf through Cheydinhal....
I want more factions, thrown weapons, and a better video card... but all in all it's a great game... oh, it feels at lot less like a console cross over if you turn off the compass and don't use quick travel.

Edited by: Mirral on 24/03/2006 19:34:10 10 hours in and 2 restarts for new characters and I have to say is WOW!
The basic game is still the same... "Do anything u want and take the main quest at your leisure".
The monsters keep a par skill level with you so it always is a challenge and u can adjust the difficulty on the fly (for those who are teh suck).
I was on the Beth forums last night and there a lot of threads about the RAI (radiant AI). Sure... the people go to work... eat.. go hunting... socalize with others... sleep... etc which is teh roxxors! There has been pickpocketing by AI when you go afk for extended peroids and NPCs get scared when u have your weapon out when talking to them.... teh cool!
I have a beefy laptop and it runs well @ 1024 with med graphic settings and runs nice on 1280x800 (widescreen baby)with little graphics enabled.
One thing I do not like is that some of the monsters can get stuck once an awhile and it allows my orc to lay the pwnage.
Combat is awesome... blocking on the fly... different attacks (for those who rise in level in "Blunt"/"Blade"/"Hand to hand" weapons. At first it is a click fest but once u fight harder opponets (like in the gladiator ARENA!!!!!!!) combat gets technical (not eve technical.. but technical enough).
Eve has become a 14.99 a month skill leveler for awhile... Oblivion Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty cool game.
But, when you attack lots of enemies at once the sounds doesn't keep up. Other than that It's very good and I haven't noticed any other bugs.
The story is better than I thought and the game is very addicting

Edited by: Reiisha on 24/03/2006 19:46:10 Edited by: Reiisha on 24/03/2006 19:45:41 Soiler alert: I will discuss some minor spoilers at the bottom of this post. I'll warn you up front.
My first impressions, 6 hour straight game from when i got home from the store.
The speech has a VERY annoying bug - it pitches the sound down a lot, no fix, only after the first line of dialog the speech pitches up to it's normal level. It's crazy to hear an orc who looks like a wood elf say hello, if you get my drift.
Second, it crashes. Save often.
One thing about RAI: A lot of people complain how it's useless and stupid, but i noticed that characters can step through doors and gates now, which wasn't the case in Morrowind, with a few exceptions. This made me look for a character which should be walking around in Cheydinhal, and only after i saw 2 npc's walk into the inn it came to me that i need to think a little bit further.
The quest markers are very handy. They don't show critical things mostly, just things you can find after searching on the main maps a little, it's just to save time. I seem to ignore the compass mostly, so it doesn't bother me either way. ((Spoiler example on the bottom of the post))
What i was most amazed about was that the game ran really well, on medium detail, on my system (Athlon 2800+, Radeon 9600 Pro 256 MB, 768 MB DDR(, which is barely above the minimum specs. On the TES forums is also a post about someone who has the exact minimum specs, and he even managed to FRAPS some of his findings. People can find that post here. They do lose a lot of flair without HDR though - if your card can handle it, take the performance hit and play with HDR on, it's absolutely worth it.
The interface is a big point of discussion, for PC users. It's an almost straight conversion from the xbox version, but i found it rather easy to use after just a few minutes. It's really intuitive once you see how it works. It takes a little more time to find the extra functionality though (dropping items for example is done by shift-clicking, had to find the manual to do that), but overall, it's better than what i expected. I'd still have preferred a Morrowind like interface for the most part though.
There are some interesting additions to the gameplay, like the lockpicking minigame and the persuasion minigame. Once you find out the trick though, it's very easy to gain speechcraft and picking skill, but it gets progressively harder to gain skills (exponential instead of linear requirements).
For the rest, i've just been doing main quest stuff, and a few local sidequests. Especially one that you can find in Bruma is interesting... 4 plot twists in a 30-40 minute quest is daring, but a lot of fun. It shows the detail the writers went through to make the game complete, instead of adding subquests to a main quest. The main quest only stands out frmo the rest due to it's size, nothing more. All quests are refreshingly new when compared to the old RPG style of questing (bring me 4 rat tails, kill 113 goblins and 2 shamans, etc). The mini storylines help flesh the game out even more, especially if you take the very subtle effect of RAI into consideration.
I'll play on a bit more, dunno if i'm still alive tomorrow due to overenjoyment...
Spoiler warning
To come back on the compass - when you enter Oblivion for the first time at Kvatch (use the gate, walking through it does nothing... took me a while to figure out :P), i searched it entirely without looking at the compass. I don't even know whether it would have helped, even. The scamps and daedra are very tough for a low level character though, and a bit of frustration is guaranteed.
In any case, the point is that the compass is just a conveniency, not a game breaking device. Simply don't look at it if you don't want to... And it seems you can turn it off.
/meh, no room for more spoilers.

Personally I think the control system is awful and considering the production values of the game as a whole, I find it rather odd that its so bad. Apart from that, graphics and everything else are nice. It doesn't live up to the hype but then do they ever?

obviously its better on PC. thsi game are not much of a combat sim.
but look around at other RPG's i think i saw only one apart from morrowind that had full control on the slashign and blocking ect.
any other RPG i played wether Sinlge player or MMO, all depended on skills, and clicking every were to go there

oh, bethsoft, where did it all go wrong...?
the animation is a joke, and a poor one at that - I've yet to see a well-animated figure, and could knock up better cycles with a week's work. Normal, parralax and specular mapping is shameful. Speedtree is as hideous as ever, and rocks, grass and other objects can still be found floating in mid-air. The conceptual design is nothing close to morrowind's originality. The UI is a joke, Dialogue is atrocious, the voice acting filled with third-rate "mid-atlantic" americanisations that have no place in any RPG. And combat is an even bigger, and more bitter joke; Western martial art again misrepresented as a lumbering hack-and-slash affair ignoring the realities of weapon use that is accurate, graceful and far more fluid than represented. Missing combat on horseback is shameful.
But... it's a gorgeous game. it's got a great engine, it's had care given to it's design. But it shows careless production values throughout. will it be a genre classic? personally, no. it's got too many flaws in it that any discerning art department should've caught. with player mods, it might well just surpass Morrowind, though.

Originally by: Suze'Rain oh, bethsoft, where did it all go wrong...? Western martial art again misrepresented as a lumbering hack-and-slash affair ignoring the realities of weapon use that is accurate, graceful and far more fluid than represented. Missing combat on horseback is shameful.
Yeah I've always hated the huge fantasy style axes and hammers in elder scrolls. Hopefully there'll be a realistic weapon mod eventually.

the swords are bad enough. longswords that feel like they're half an inch thick... and let's not even get me started on the axes or hammers... *twitch*
part of the reason why when the art director on the MeMod, I emphasised reality in design.

I've been handling real mideval weapons for a while, and Oblivion is not far off in design. There are only limitations to the engine.
But then, what are you all talking about.... Immersion is something different than realism. People who complain about something not being realistic should ask themselves whether playing female walking lizards is realistic?

Nonsense. On an uber ninja computer like my brother's, it is pure and simply superior to the 360's version.
Hell, he even edited the .ini file and can see about 2x further and 2-3x as many things now. If you watch the one teaster where it walks down a hill and looks at the imperial city in the distance... he can see both the ruins on his side of the shore, and the grass and whatnot goes on for awhile.
this is with uGridsToLoad set to 5, the default high end setting
this is with it set to 9. quite a damn difference
Shacknews thread about Oblivion
Originally by: Dario Wall Ok, already on my third character now. This time I decided to play a stealthy Wood Elf marksman... So far I am VERY satisfied with it.
Wtf? I know you didn't beat it twice already, so why on your 3rd char?
Originally by: Kalahari Wayrest is now a proud member of the dark brotherhood
Spill some blood for me, dear brother(sister).
Originally by: Drilla *yawn*
Played it for four hours, man this game is boring due to several bugs.
The sound code of this game is terrible, speech is only active 50% of the time, footsteps are non-exsistant etc. unless you have a soundcard with 64 hardware channels (have tried on 3 different machines).
My sound is fine, with the exception of running while casting, or running with a torch lit and held, and I'm only using my motherboard's onboard soundcard.
Originally by: Kyozoku The one thing that really ****ed me off is how your compass has markers that show mission objectives and nearby dungeons.
You're going to have it turned back on after you've spent about 20 hours looking for a mission dungeon that was visible from the road, and when I say visible, I mean nearby, not "hey look I can see the imperial city from 1/4th the map away".
Originally by: Reiisha All quests are refreshingly new when compared to the old RPG style of questing (bring me 4 rat tails, kill 113 goblins and 2 shamans, etc).
I can think of a few quests that are old RPG style in Oblivion...
As for my character: will contain spoilers
Currently level 26, with just under 60 hours of gameplay. I have recently been searching out Daedra lord shrines. Needless to say after getting Azura's Star (infinite use soulgem), and the skeleton key(infite use lockpick that gives =40! to security), getting volan-something, a hammer, was depressing, and I hope the 4th shrine i find doesnt give something so ****ty. My daedric longsword (and warhammer) both own the hammer.
While doing a storyline mission, my horse, Shadowmare, whom Lechance himself gave me, *VANISHED*. It is GONE. The damn thing couldn't have died, because it gets knocked out when it 'dies', just like a quest char does. The only thing I've heard of being a better mount than Shadowmare are the unicorns, which I am searching like crazy for now.
the arena was quite cool, altho I beat it at level 20, and the only monsters I can fight weekly are minotaur lords, but I've made 2040, 1740, 240 and 4270(!) coinsin my 4 matches against 3 of them. The reward you get for beating the grey prince was a huge let down too.
My biggest peeve is the fact that it is ******* IMPOSSIBLE to organize a cool item display on the PC. Try to put a few books on a shelf, packed together like in the libraries. You'll go insane when after 30minutes, you have maybe 2 books up, and then the 3rd one rams the 1st 2 to the floor.
Well, back to oblivion I go. Need to break 60 hours of play!

To anyone who has an Ati card: Download the latest Omega drivers instead of the official drivers. They sped up the game about 2 to 3 times for me (Radeon 9600 Pro), and solved a lot of crashes.

I'm currently playing morrowind as my gfx card fried (and oblivion won't work with my old gf4) and have completely fallen in love with it again. It's going to be hard to put it down and play oblivion when the new card comes through .
So come on then, hands up if you got the special edition of oblivion?

do you mean geforce 6800 128MB? It should work like a dream. If still jerky check ur settings and drivers.
@ParMizaN: Download the demo and test it. Notebooks get very powerfull lately. But at the face selection screen it will freeze/slowMo as on most cards.

Being a vampire aint easy
You have it all wrong, vampirism isnt a curse its a blessing. Here's a secret, join the Arena. And once a night at around 2am travel there, and you can feed on one of the combatants sleeping in the Bloodworks. That will allow you to travel in the sunlight without damage. For 24 hours.
Or if you've joined the Dark Brotherhood just feed on one of your brothers or sisters..they wont mind. As a matter of fact if I'm in a dungeon for a few days and I havent fed, my first stop is always the Arena, you can run in before you even take 50 dmg from the sunlight.
I'm a Dark Elf vampire. Dark-E natural resistance to fire +75, vampires weakness to fire -20, still equals +55 fire resistance. Almost no negative side effects.
Has anyone else gotten the contract to kill the five guests locked in the house. And if so, did you get as much pleasure killing the defensless people as I did? (I replayed that mission 3 times just so I could kill them in more inventive ways. Favorite was dropping a dagger and using the telekinesis spell to hurl it at them while they were sleeping.)
I almost want to call in sick for work tomorrow....almost.

Edited by: Kanibal on 28/03/2006 14:06:41 Well I haven't try it on my rig yet, only on brother's, hope it will be playable on mine but after few hours of testing it and reading forums I got one big problem with the game. I'm still not sure how much I hate autoleveling npcs.
Autoleveling enemies got few rather negative sideaffects for me. For example on lvl1 you meet common bandits aprox on your level with lame iron/leather armor. But on higher levels they are all supposed to be replaced/upgraded to mithril/glass. It kinda spoils it to me when every enemy on my level drops the same loot and that on higher levels supposedly rare equipment will drop from almost every enemy. I was hopping I will have to search hard for some uber stuff.
Another complaint is that with autoleveling in place there is not really much unique. It kinda kills exploring which I was looking forward to a lot. So you don't search for hidden dungeons to find out if there is anything rare hidden guarded by some uber boss but only to level up and get some money. Only unique thing are the quests I guess.
And another thing is difficulty. Basicly difficulty is supposed to stay more or less the same for the whole game to avoid player becoming unbeatable god on certain level or with certain equipment. Well for first I always played sp rpgs to get to god lvl and pwn mobs. Second there is rather nasty danger that if you made bad char or don't level up most effectivly your char will suck more and more the higher level you get. There is one sollution to this, you don't level up.
I made a char which have all major skills in magic which I don't use so I can't level up. The skills I use raise slower than if they were set as major skills but I'm basicly getting stronger while all enemies stay the same. I quite easy pwned arena quest on lvl1 and it kinda sucks for me from rpg point of view.
I may play it anyway for story and quests but I am rather disappointed and I hope Gothic 3 will rock cos if not I'll declare rpg genre dead and play only fps. [EDIT: and EVE of course ]

I was a morrowind junkie, but I just find Oblivion rather sucky tbh. Sure graphics is great, but:
1.) wtf is with all the mines and caves. Every dungeon you have to raid is either a cave or a catacombe of sorts. What happened to the uber cool daedra shrines? Spending your in-game time in some dark cave with different shades of gray is just not cool.
2.) camera and movement... you know, even WoW has it better. A lot better.

if not can anyone tell me if this setup will be ok

It's barely above minimum, but it should work. I have slightly higher specs, and it works wuite nicely on med settings.
I'd strongly advise to get at least 512 more ram though.

love it, tho i still need to upgrade my graphics card. 128 nvidia gforce FX isnt cuttin it with the latest drivers. It lags like hell. Whenever i'm around flame effects etc it goes nuts, like framerate goes down soooo bad. Is this a priblem with my card then? It's on all the lowest gfx settings. 2.8ghz pentium 4, 1gb ddr, and that card. Everything else in the comp is clean and no progs running. Drivers all up to date.

Edited by: Zysco on 28/03/2006 21:01:21 Edited by: Zysco on 28/03/2006 20:59:15 Its pretty fun. The combat system is pretty terrible though. 1v1 is great but as soon as you get to 1v3ish its just worthless. Not too sure about the whole autoleveling thing either, and the entire leveling system itself kind of sucks. Also illusion magic is just ridiculously overpowered, its just kill someone, go invisible, run away.

Has anyone else gotten the contract to kill the five guests locked in the house. And if so, did you get as much pleasure killing the defensless people as I did? (I replayed that mission 3 times just so I could kill them in more inventive ways. Favorite was dropping a dagger and using the telekinesis spell to hurl it at them while they were sleeping.)
I liked killing everyone except the one alcoholic dude and the rich guy and the alcoholic dude was like "omg dude the rich guy killed everyone we must go pwn him now!!" and grabbed a weapon and killed the guy, then he is like "finally the killer is dead" ...and then i killed him.

You do need a hell of a system to run it at full belt... but it's wel worth it to see the effect... I'm still drooling
So Verone, when you're riding your horse, and a bandit stops you, do you pay the man?
Imperial Guard : "Stop criminal, you've got no pennies to pay a fine so you're going in teh slammer."
Me : "like hell i am"
Imperial Guard : "Then pay with your blood!!1"
I get off my horsey and shoot him in teh face with my silver bow, which was stolen from an imperial archer I killed for a laugh.
Then I proceed to smack him about the place with my silver longsword, also stolen from an imperial guard... as well as all his armor and all his clothes and sexeh boots.
When he's dead I then pilfer his still warm corpse, leaving him nekkid in the dirt on the side of the road. While heading off to sell my stuff at a remote in where I won't get ganked by NPC guards because of the 95,000 gold bounty now on my head
I guess I'm just destined to be a bastard in all the games I play...

The only beefs I got with the game so far ( lvl 2 nightblade for the record ) is that i cleared some evil necromancers lair at lvl 1.... wtf, he's powerful enough to have a huge freaking castle with loads of skeletons and zombies around and I wtf own em all at lvl 1.
Complaint 2, I know it's a freaking dungeon but by god does have to be pitch dark in here. Basically you either need some sort of night vision, or a big stack off torches which means no shield and one handed weapons only.
Lvling seems weird since stat point increases are based on your skills, so if you don't get enough skill increases you end up with minimal stat icnreases.
My nightblade still rocks though, decent melee, good magic own it all. And how exactly do you adapt to potentially getting killed by everybody you kill? -Nero Scuro If I miss you, it will be because my tracking is a little off. - Grey Area |

Shadowmare is faster, and free, and it can't die(get's ko'd like a quest person).
The Unicorn is stronger and faster than shadowmare iirc. I killed the only one I saw. I had a good reason though.

I can take down 3 minotaur lords or 3 glass/daedric using npcs by myself, but it is hard, and takes some damn good block timing. Screw up and you're going to take half a dozen hits.

you haven't lived as a true assassin until you use a magicla weapon to land a killing blow on someone, and watch their body go flying off of a cliff.
Guard: "stop murderer"
Me: ...no?
*runs to a cliff, jumps over guard, knocks them off the cliff, watches them die*
I'll admit, I gate camped in Oblivion last night. Had guys after me, so I ran away, got outside the cave, jumped up on a rock a good distance awya, and when they came out, I pelted them with arrows till the one guy died about 10 feet from me.
If there is ever a multiplayer patch for this, even if ti only lets the host play the game and the others run around as 'npcs' and someone can only rest when everyone can...etc, I'd play it, and so would others.
I'd so come hunt you guys with my lvl 28 War-Scout. Umbra has an attack rating of 30 for me.

BTW, TIP: there should be an oblivion Gate jsut south West of liyawiin, or maybe bravil, can t remeber btu its definetly south west and withing 5 min walk fromt he city. if you clsoe that gate, and get to the the before before before boss in the middle tower, he HAS a RING,,,,,,,,,, that makes you see at night, called: RING OF NIGHT EYE
its brilliant, a constant effect, sellign it wont make a thing, but yeah get it as its very usefull in dark areas, so you wont have to light upa torch or drink up all the potions for night eye.
------ and btw, i have a amd 2800+ nvedia 6800 gt 256 mb, 1gb ram. with this it runs at high setting with clean frame rate. i tried highest, but that kind of reduced the frames a little. back to oblivion see ya.

Edited by: Saeris Tal''Urduar on 30/03/2006 07:36:34 I gotta say I really like the melee combat in this game. The AI adjusts depending on what weapon its using, no more standing and swinging away. And they will set you up for a power attacks and wait to counter you for maximum effect.
Example: Has anyone else noticed that if your holding up your shield for a block, that your opponent will circle around to your left (where you cant see him behind your shield) Or if you hold your block up to high, they'll go for your legs.
First time it happened to me I was fighting a guy who had a dagger and all I had was a longsword. (fast vs slower = best to block and counter) So I got my shield up waiting for the attack so I can counter. WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! in my back. I was like wtf he circled around on my blind side! So I exchange some blows and thought I was going to be slick and watch his feet, move to his right when he starts to circle and get his flank...well I raise my shield WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! on my legs. Thats when I got ****ed threw a paralyse spell and proceeded to teach him a lesson.
Ohh and if you havent used a paralyse spell, you have to try it out...but do it when they are running at you. It has a great effect.

Got an AMD 3800 64 BIT,4 gigs of RAM Dual 7800 NVdia SLI.
Dell 24' inch minitor.....
The game is absolutly stunning, in full HDR.
But you will have to own a card that can use HDR tech, the 6800GT and the 7800 series of Nvidia can.

Go back to where you first get him, n00b!
It says "shadowmare has returned to *that place*" when you lose it.
Happened to me 2x, still dont know how.
Shadowmare is teh win though. Until I get a unicorn anyways.

I was so torn when I had to do that. The shop sold such awesome items. 40dmg per sec for 2 secons in 10ft radius arrows, a 20frost 20 fire dmg bow... and I forgot to buy the bow and tons of arrows before killing the guy.
In Oblivion, murder is like sex. You can never get enough. If you get caught doing it you're generally chased by some ****ed off old guy, and even when it's painful it's good.

Edited by: Ulendar on 31/03/2006 05:45:54 Its one of the best games I have ever had the pleasure to play. I am still awe-struck every time I run about Tamriel (although after the secrecy they made out of Oblivion I was kinda disappointed when I first saw it).
For those with severe issues running the game smoothly .. if you haven't already, check out this webby:
Complete guide to tweaking the Oblivion ini
It should solve quite some fps woes, I know it did for me. And it still looks amazing.

No otherway around and beside khajiit will sense his doom because when you go back and start to kill 'em, he WILL be your best friend. I forget to buy that bow and arrow before I killed him and damn, I'm kicking myself for that.
What happened to me in DB mission was this:
Orc and that older woman was sleeping when I got to their sleeping area. Khajiit was walking inside when I stole his pearl he had and replaced it with poisoned apple. Then I followed him to table and looked how he sat down and ate that apple. He never knew what hit him. Then I proceed to orc while he was sleeping. Draw my glass dagger which I stole from Vampire and summoned my dreadra helper. 6x damage bonus from dagger and orc was already down 50% of health. Quickly kiting him with arrows and orc goes down. Then same thing to that woman and 3 people out of 3 was already dead. Upper level was bit more tricky because that skeleton guard. Summoned Rufio's ghost and started shooting in sneak that guard killed him off rather quickly. Male lizard joined fight and my ghost killed him easily. Vampire walked in and I started to kite him. I felt bit sad thou because he was screaming "Why brother, WHY!" while I was killing him off. Female lizard was killed while she was asleep. Job well done, gimme my mount!

Just got it but until I get my PC fixed (needs some thermal paste) I have to run it on effectively a 1.5Ghz P4. It's lagless if I turn view distances right down (e.g. can't see people on the opposite team at the start of Arena fights) but worth it.
Great game, can't wait until I get my PC working and start to turn the graphics up so combat outside is a real possibility

bought it yesterday. My pc: 3.0ghz p4, 512mb ram, Geforce 6600. It runs fine. With everything set to low/off, and with the resolution at 640x480. Until I start fighting, that is.
so far, Me likes: Physics, character face modelling, improved lockpicking and persuasion games, the 'weight' of combat, (but has the swing/chop/thrust design from earlier games been removed? And the graphics ofc. Even with everything turned down, Oblivion still looks amazing.).
Me no likes: Simplification of skills - an axe IS NOT A BLUNT WEAPON. Short and Long blades have been clumped into a single skill.WHERE TF IS MY ENCHANTMENT SKILL?! also missing medium armour, and a few others.
The new character generation bit - I really liked answering the questions in the old games!(best done in Daggerfall, as Morrowind gave you the same 10 every time)Having your character generated by going through the first dungeon...makes more sense maybe...but it's just dull imho.
The interface - not as bad as I've been led to believe, but still too console-centric and very fiddly.
The character facial models are surprisingly ugly (lol, or should that be 'realistic'? ), the animation is dreadful, and the AI needs an awful lot of work. The conversations that go on between npc's would be funny if they weren't so godawful. Getting exactly the same response from differently npc's for a topic, but in different voices seems like a waste of voice acting. -------------------------------------------------- Loyalty, Integrity, Honour. |

caius is an character from morrowind, a blade who left to rejoin the blades in cyrodiil.
he showed up in a couple of the oblivion promo videos, but afaik he never made it into the final game. If he existed, i'd guess he would have been in cloud ruler, but he's not

I've preordered the CE but then cancelled last minute after hearing stories how it would run choppy on 1 year old systems. Can anyone confirm this cause the thing I hate most is to play a great game with less than 40 or so FPS.
My specs are:
Athlon 64 3500+ X800 XL 256 2 x 1GB XP Pro
Anyone with similar specs care to tell me how well Oblivion runs? Especially the graphic demanding situations, like outdoors I imagine.

15-20 fps outdoors, 30-40 indoors.
I'm playing at 5 to 15 outdoors, it plays pretty well... The game is worth it, even at lower framerates. This isn't a fps after all, but an rpg...

True but it makes living into your role a lot harder when every time you make a turn you're reminded of the fact that your PC can't handle the game well ;)

All I can say is whoever told you the game would run choppy with your specs was either lying about the system they had or they were talking out their ass.
I'm running full settings except for grass shadows and no AA at 1280 x 1024 Athlon (venice) 3200 Nvidia 7800GT 256mb 2 x 1gb ram <---thats gonna make the most difference (I know people with better MB's, CPUs and vid-cards but only 1gb of ram and the game chugs)

Is there anyway to stop being a Vampire without the huge nasty quest? I don't like it :( (Being a Vampire I mean :P)
Don't get it in the first place?
Heh... I have 175% Disease Resistance, so no Vampirism for me.

I have 90% magic resistance, and 110% or so magic reflect. I've noticed I haven't caught a disease in a very long time. I wonder if there's a bug that makes them classify as magic.
On the other hand, it rules to stand still as mages kill themselves on me.
My brother's been a vamp since level 4 or so. He's got some uber sneak when he's in full power.

Been hearing lots of nice things about the 6600GT though, good for a budget card. Considering getting one myself, to upgrade from my vanilla 6600 (heard as much as 50% performance difference) -------------------------------------------------- Loyalty, Integrity, Honour. |

I'd still say 6600GT, so long as the rest of your system is up to spec...@ 100-120 sterling according to PCGUK. The card is also ranked as their 'choice' budget card. And as we all know, PCGUK IS GOD. -------------------------------------------------- Loyalty, Integrity, Honour. |

Horse summon would be useful for those times that some asshat steals your horse.
Last night I stepped out of Chorral and I saw a guy hop on a horse and haul ass. As soon as I noticed how fast he was going,, I realized he horse-jacked Shadowmare from me, and needless to say, I couldn't do a damn thing to catch him.
So I just went back to Tarragut and picked him up.

I just recently bought it for the PC. Everything runs ok as expected but the game play is meh... It was going real good and I was enjoying it untill a lot of the "Cheese" factor started hitting. Like when I killed a couple wolves that had umm gold on them. Then I joined the "Dark Brootherhood?" guild thingy and we had female assassins saying "Oh I'm so happy I'm in the guild. I can't wait for my next contract" type of stuff. Then after that I like stole some guards horse (was rather funny) and like he loads when I load in the game. Then on top of that a couple of contracts like the first one of killing the pirate captin will sometimes cause a guard to mysteriousy appear. It's also funny to watch because you know it zooms in on them when they try to arrest you. You like kill the captin in the boat and he just appears in air hehe.
So yeah not to pleased about the game. I know some don't care about simple or minor things like that but to me it's all about the setting and feel of the game. The graphics and everything else rocks but yeah the "Cheese" factor has made it bad for me =(

Give the modders some time to get the good stuff out. I'm sure you'll enjoy it more once they tweak it a bit.

For those of you stuggling to run it on the PC, on the official forums there are some nice tweak guides available. For example tweaking grass density, LOD, number of grids to load and so on. Using one of them (can¦t remember which one so can¦t link ) I managed to get the game running about 10 FPS better outdoors AND look better than the default settings.
I¦ll try to dig up the guide I used.
Specs are: AMD 64 2800 6800GT 1.5Gb RAM

Yeah, it's high def. :) It'd kill you if I told you which one though.
Had a buddy of mine who plays it on his PC swing by to compare, he actually prefers the 360 version. He says the graphics are smoother overall and clearer on my TV, and of course the surround sound I have helps. He also seemed to prefer playing on a sofa rather than in front of the PC.
To each his own of course, but I agree with him. :)

Very nice, I looked at the DLP but I can see a Rainbox sheen on them when things move too fast, it's weird because not everyone can see it
I'd have gone for the 50" version of mine, but it's just tooo big, you must have a big room to fit that badboy in, or did you install it in your Garden ?

Depends a lot on the source. I went to one store where there was horrible RF interference on the signals to their HDTVs, they had some really screwy way of connecting them all together. At a different store, I saw crystal clear pictures. Never seen any rainbowing on mine.

Oblivion is great but it is far far from perfect imho
The much hyped unscripted AI speach system is completly broken.
Notable conversations i overheard included:
"Greatings" "Greatings" "Its a nice day today" "I heard Brom is a vampire" "Thats what i heard" "Good-day" "Same to you" -------- "Hello" "Spare a coin for an old war veteran" "Same to you. Good day" "Good day to you".
Also im not sure about the X-Box version but on the Pc npcs will spasmodically change their voice in the middle of a conversation, from say an old begger to a well spoken women.
Also, lets call a spade a spade Oblivion stinks (not the game but the planes of Oblivion). There is little to no variation between the 16 areas you are forced to trudge through (In all fairness you dot have to do them. I waited till i was level 16 before going into the first one by when i had about 7 of them scattered accross my map.
Horse ridding is also a bit crap and the minigames like lock picking are clearly meant for the X-Box and dont work with a mouse.
/rant
Oblivion still looks great and is one of the best rpgs ive played.

I think it's a worthy guess to say the game from the get-go has been designed to work as a console game. The whole game and interface feels natural on the 360, but on the PC there are times when you fight with it. That's usually a dead giveaway.
Fantastic game though. Hardly ever left my 360's drive, except when I get the hankering to shoot someone with an assault rifle. The I put in GRAW. :)

Ultra High for me, thanks to the new hardware =)
Still slows down though, especially when I'm exploring new areas. Areas I've already visited tend to run much faster, which makes sense. Still getting smooth play in battles though, it just gets hairy outdoors in the woods.
Started a Dark Elf character, but I have a question. Where am I supposed to store all the loot I get? I can't afford a house until later, and unlike Morrowind I can't seem to find some shmuck to kill and take his house...

This game gets better every day.
Get a bow with shock damage, or arrows with shock damage. Fire works too I think.
Watching people do backflips as you shoot them in the face for charging at you is easily in my top 5 badass things of Oblivion.
The Dark brotherhood as an overall thing, takes #1. The highlight of that group was probably dropping the mino head on the guy in his chair. So evil.
Still have nfc how you get the bonus(if there is one) for killing the captain in front of his crew. I killed him with all his guys on my ass and nothing.

If you are desperate for a house, get the one in the Imperial City - Waterfront district. It's only 2,000 gold(without upgrades).
Of course, you could always go for Rosethorn Hall in Skingrad for a cool 25,000 gold before upgrades...

I'm not sure. I know his card is pretty much the best money can buy, and the drivers he's using are new ATI beta drivers for the card.
Tomorrow or sunday I'll post some screenshots of us having fun with the item dupe trick. I believe at one point he had over 3 or 4000 items in maybe a 20x20 area(all concentrated in a stream). Most of the items were cloth/books/scrolls, and could float, with the result being him being able to stand on the items in the water like a floating dock. He had his.. special hood on, and a guard actually ran across his 'bridge' to attack him. Later on he filled a small room in a cave with about 1200 skulls and a few hundred rib-cages. The damn room looked like the skull avalanche from the RoTK-extended.

For those of you who know about the dumping trick:

Duping some staves, they rapidly expand.
Duping 400+ sigil stones. Don't do this, having 400+ objects that make sound and have the wavy effect made my brother's PC run at roughly 1/50th FPS.

I'd still say 6600GT, so long as the rest of your system is up to spec...@ 100-120 sterling according to PCGUK. The card is also ranked as their 'choice' budget card. And as we all know, PCGUK IS GOD.
I advise you to get a 6200 then d-load rivatuner and open some pipes, if you do it well you will have a 6800GT for 50 euro..

If you want to play the 'proper' way then Wood Elf with Marksmen, Stealth, Alchemy (posions can be really good fun), Security (you can pick everything with one lockpick but this means no annoying reloads), Light Armour and Illusion.
Choose whatever you want for the next one (Blade can be good later on as you get a much bigger critical bonus in close combat but you need very good sneak/chameleon to get this close and it's impossible early on

If you are a bit of a power gamer you should be a male orc, redguard or nord under the warrior or lady sign for the extra endurance. Most of the races end up the same in the end and since endurance isn't retroactive it's important to get it to 100 as quickly as possible.

I wouldn't put alchemy as a main skill, if you level up from it the creatures get tougher but your combat skills will be too low making life very tough (learned that the hard way in Kvatch )
You can level alch really easily as a sneak by breaking into shops and houses and turning every veg into fatigue potions.
Originally by: Exelon Bei Anyone know about a cheat or something that lets me change blunt with restauration as a main skill
Same with restoration imo, you'll level it quickly and run the risk of falling behind the creature levels.

This was the first ES game i really got into. Really enjoyed it, esp the mage guild and dark brotherhood missions. The obvilion gates were a bit repetitve though and seemed like fillers.
I enjoyed my Assassin-Mage character. But he was waay too overpowered at the end. As guild Arch-Mage and master of Illusion i could make a 100% Chameleon spell with master sneak meant u were practically invunerable with 6x damage to all foes and they got zero armour bonus, but u needed 100% spell effectiveness to make it work.

This game destroys your free time
And something i've learnt is that the theft element of the game is amazing, I love sneaking into people's houses and running off with all thier stuff.
There are more sophisticated ways of doing it too, like you see someone wondering the street with a glass sword, pick pocket thier key and go try and take the sword off them in the night -----------------

Being in the path of an attack affects your chance to be hit, or hit the target. That's one of the big things with Oblivion's combat, there's no dice roll to magically make your weapon miss the person whose face you just connected it to.

Runs perfect with my 2.8 P4, though i wouldnt be overly confident wit anything much below that.

And that's why we explore heavily, and save often and in various slots.

I explored a bit too much though...
I ended up having so many quest items already with me, that I completed the quests without having to even leave the room the person was in.

Is there any real point to the nirnroot quests? From what i gather the elixers arent very good, at least not worth gathering 100 nirnroot.

***SPOILER***
complete the thieves guild quests and the gray fox gives you his mask. When you wear that everybody thinks you are te gray fox and therefore the bounty only applies to him, so when you take it off you have 0 bounty :)
Means you can murder etc all you want and have no bounty when you take the thing off.

They're useful if you somehow don't have detect life/nighteye from other items I suppose.
The quest ****ed me off though. Easier to find treasure my ass. I wanted some unique 'detect loot' effect or something.

Okay...I'll drag this one up again then.
Last question, what PC are you guys running it on, I have an Athlon 3Ghz with a 6600GT and 1Gb memory. Can I expect okay framerates and graphics or is it strictly high end rigs for high end settings?

i've seen you posting this often and i always wondered how you do it
i have an A64 3200+, 1gb mem, and a 6600GT (128mb asus factory oc'ed) i definately need to scale down stuff to be able to run the outside stuff ok iirc i run it at 1024 with 2x AA and no bloom/hdr, it runs fine like this but if i up any of the settings it really hurts my framerate
on a related note, any1 know how i can totally turn off the grass? i don't like the way it looks and rather have a bit more off the other eyecandy instead of the resource hungry grasses

Wooo great game, I was supposed to be doing a lot of school work in these easter holidays..oh well
Pity about the fact it crashes often and lags a lot in game, but it's still so fun and addictive!

You edit a line in the .ini file to totally turn off grass. I can't think of which line off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure I posted a link to the detailed ini-editing thread in an TES forum in this thread.
Your slowdown is all coming from your video card I believe, but it's hard to say really. With an uber ninja PC with 2gigs of ram and pretty much the best video card and dual core 64bit cpu you can get ATM, the game in ultra high detail (with alittle extra detail via ini editing), will have you at about 20-30fps in places like cities. Pretty crazy when you consider a year and a half old PC can run a game like Doom3 or HL2 at its top settings(with about 30-40fps).

Making the Adoring Fan die in various amusing ways is one of the best parts of the game.
