I've restarted playing Oblivion again and noticed sites like tesnexus has as much traffic lately as it did 3 years ago. Blame it on Fallout. Anywho here's a few grafix mods I'm running to bring the bling up to date while not changing gameplay. First get the Unofficial Oblivion Patch. Fixes a couple thousand bugs. Qarl's Texture Pack 3 1.68gb of high res textures CaptNKILLs NonTiling Texture Mod Fixes the original crappy terrain texture tiling. Koldorns LOD Noise Replacer You may want to try medium. Gonna need Oblivion Mod Manager for these. OMM makes installing mods easier and also lets you deactivate them at will, so if you can find the other mods I listed above in OMOD file, then by all means grab that instead. 4096X4096 Normal Map-2048X2048 Border Regions-LOD_OMOD High res terrain LOD compilation Natural Faces Makes the faces of NPCs not so damn ugly. There's a crazy amount of high quality mods out there, check out the top 100 on Nexux.

The first in the Elder Scroll series. http://www.elderscrolls.com/tenth_anniv/te...anniv-arena.htm Runs great on my Pentium 200. The passwords are in the docs folder if you play it long enough to make it out of the sewers.

Anyone here wanna point me to a good beginner's guide to the game... there are many, but not sure how many are that great. I made a player and mucked around a bit to get the feel. But now I want to recreate a character and not just guess what to answer for the various questions, and create someone I can use. Any character creation advice would be nice. SS

Hi guys + girls, I'm trying to join the mages guild and have so far obtained about 3 recomendations, but when it come to the Leyawiin recomendation I believe I've ran into a bug. I've found the old ladies amulet after doing the quest, and have returned to the guild hall to try and give it to her, but the stupid cow won't allow me to give it to her. Everytime I talk to her she just has he same chat options as she did before I started the quest. I know I have the correct amulet because a few other people in the hall congratulate me for finding this amulet and tel me to give it to dagil (if thats her name) but its not working :'( I've even reduced myself to stripping infront of her and only wear the amulet but she still doesnt seem to notice it... I mean, talk about a loss of dignity! So what shall I do? Are there any cheats that I can use that will automatically allow me to enter the mages guild or something along them lines? I dont really want to miss out the whole mages guild experience because being an imperial warrior i dont havent really picked up many spells, so the mages guild would help

Or am i just a pimpnaz?

I dont have the manual for Oblivion, is there an in game map?? If so what button brings it up??? Nevermind, Jackie answered it for me..

http://csusap.csu.edu.au/~mloxto01/ An Alpha version is already released. I haven't tried it yet, but it only supports 2 players for Oblivion at the moment. Quest sync is one of the things NOT working. So basically, only two people can run around and do whatever at the moment. Still, a big improvement to the mod.

I ask if anyone is still playing because I'm not. It's too much! When I get home from work I think about playing for a while, load it up, remember how it's so much like a second job and quit! Seriously, anyone else out there tired of the enormousness of it yet? It's just too daunting to go on! I'm going to wait until I build my new puter and get my 24" WS...that should bring me back...

do you think they'll come out with quest update packets? That would be SO COOL! Not like I'd ever finish all of the quests. O_o

So to get farther in the game, I have to persuade this NPC at the Shrine of Azura to tell me something. I know I click on the little face icon in the bottom left, but obviously I am no good at picking the order in which to say things, i.e. joke, amuse, etc. I can tell their different facial expressions but still I can't get anywhere. How do I do this? In other news, I just found out it's possible to kill a horse. Destroyed my pretty chestnut with the long mane.

Spoiler********** The game was almost too easy at the default difficulty level right up until I got to the battle with Cammaron. Now I'm trying to lead the emperor through the city to the temple and I'm getting roally flattened. gggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Read the article http://www.gamespot.com/news/6148897.html. Apparently ESRB thinks that the company is responsible for users modding the female characters in Oblivion so they appeared topless.

See topic, thought it was a good deal for anyone thinking about getting it.

Please discuss

Ok so I read about this item dublication exploit and figured I could have some fun with it cause Oblivion has some nice physics and such...here's how it's done in case you guys want to try it out So I went into my manor in Anvil and tried this with a single Pearl and 100 arrows...yes...it spawned 100 pearls...I'm surprised I haven't slipped on any yet! lol

Ok, probably a silly question, but: I'm about 26 hours in, I've completed a bundle of side quests and I think I have 2 parts remaining in the main quest. Now, I don't think that at any point I've had more than 3,000 gold (I'm around that figure at the moment), is there something I'm doing wrong on the gold front or is that a realistic level for how far in I am (I've paid to have my enchanted weapons filled back up again once or twice which isn't cheap). I've not joined a guild yet (although I am an honorary knight of the thorn), is this the reason I don't seem to be bringing in the green like some people seem to? Should I focus on joining a guild now and will that help, it's just getting frustrating being offered houses, horses etc. that I can't afford. I dont' want to use any exploits to get money, and I'm playing on the 360 so I definitely couldn't enter consol commands anyway. Any advice would be much appreciated. Oh, and I need some lockpicks if anyone's got some going spare

I'm sure you all know by now gates to scarey land pops up everywhere... I've been avoiding them but I decided to the try to close them all before completing the main quest. lol! Yeah I haven't finished the main quest yet... too busy with all these side quests! At least I want to close 2 gates. My person is thief so I'm like a drive by killer or wut not... hit and run away and repeat. Kinda easy when I'm so fast... I can catch up to a deer easily.

type in the console player.additem 000977E4 1

It may seem expensive and not worth it at first, but after reaching level 29, and having 300k gold, I've decided I wish I had bought more training. Gold it seems is absolutely worthless at this point. Just a tip, and what I plan on doing for the rest of my characters.

I'll be posting questions as they come up...get enough of them and I'll organize a nice FAQ. 1) Out in the wilderness can one sleep if they dont have a bedroll or can you only wait when not in a camp or an Inn? I leveled while in Oblivion...and they dont exactly have beds. Had to finish the mission and go back to Tamriel to rest and lvl. ** Knowledge tidbit: type "~" followed by "tdt" without quotes to bring up your fps in upper right corner of screen.

Read in the Oblivion offical forums that quite a few people are having trouble getting their DVD players to either register the fact that the DVD is in the Drive or it wont install the disk thinking its a blank media. I remember having major issues trying to load the DVD version of Sims 2 on my old computer. Problem was the DVD burner was too old and didn't have a firmware update for the new anti-piracy software...long story short, it would never run the DVD unless I purchased a new drive. I shudder to think about how long I've waited for the game only to get it home and have my DVD spit it back at me. Granted I've built a new computer system since then... Soooo....I know fileplanet has the game for digital purchase. Would anyone recommend the download? If anyone has any experience with it, what size is the d/l pipe? 5 GB is alot to d/l. I guess I'd rather physically have the game...but I dont want any install problems...gonna have enough hardware problems with framerate as it is.

I was bored, so I thought I'd show off my collection of junk. First up is Umbra's Armor. Poor girl didn't stand a chance when I ran her through: The four Mythic Dawn books sitting pretty in a display case: These are the only 4 items I used to beat the game, plus a necklace I'm still wearing. Ring of Wizardry which adds +10 to all mage skills. Mundane Ring which has 50% chance to resist spells and 35% chance to reflect them back. Burgandy pants which have some resist fire and a shirt which resists normal weapons: Two daggers, the top one I used off and on through out the game, the bottom one I held onto but never used. Top one is the Dagger of Storms, does 20 shock damage on contact, second is Witsplitter, drains intelligence and magicka: Full set of Imperial Dragon Armor: Random stuff I got from towns through quests. From left to right, Layawiin Shield, Kvatch Cuiruss, and Escheleon of Chorrol: Magic Blades stuff, Northwind, 20 frost damage on strike, Valdemar's Shield, reflects 9% damage: My cheese collection:
