JackieChan April 4, 2006 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 4, 2006 great game, this is how a role play game should be. seemless between exploring and fighting. it doesnt have that annoying music and battle screen that pops up every 6.5 seconds when exploring. it also is not turn based, good choice Ive delivered the amulet, I am horseback and on the way to the city SW. Don't forget you can "fast travel" to major cities you haven't been to yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC April 4, 2006 Share VooDooPC Member April 4, 2006 (edited) I'm a bit disappointed that special items change depending on your level. There's a quest in Chorral that gives you a really cool shield, it's call the Eschelon of Chorral. I got it on my mage who was level 25 at the time, it has something like reflect 25% of damage and some other modifier. It sells for around 11,000 gold. I did the same quest again on my level 5 fighter and it's 10% reflect and another modifier, sells for 4,000 gold. I know it makes no sense for a level 5 guy to have a super shield but I'd rather they just wait to give me the quest until I am at the proper level. Now I need to wait to finish the quest until it's the higher level shield I want. I wonder how many other items I have that suck because I got them at a lower level.

JackieChan April 4, 2006 Share JackieChan GC Alumni April 4, 2006 Hmm.. Well... Apparently, I beat the main quest of the game, so I'm left wandering around. The main quest itself isn't that long to tell you the truth. Fast Traveling makes it alot shorter, but the quest it self is pretty dang cool.

Head over to TESSource.net and grab the quest item leveling mod. Might be named a bit different, but if you read the description, it levels quest reward items along with you. Very handy.

I just noticed that the Sword you use to get that shield (steal the sword back from orcs correct?) is gaining in strength with me...when I got it had a 19 attack rating...now it's at 25 (im not giving it up!)...I'm curious to find out if magic items have a similar effect...ie their stats are somehow calculated depending on your stats... Nice knowing you wayf! don't forget to sleep/eat Scuba...shouldn't it be YOU that sleeps on the couch?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDan April 4, 2006 Share ScubaDan Member April 4, 2006 Hahaha....no way man, the mad person is the one who sleeps on the couch so you know how tinkled they are. I was quite happy off there in Oblivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC April 4, 2006 Share VooDooPC Member April 4, 2006 Anonymo, the attack rating goes up because your skills are going up. I really burnt my self out with this game. I played it hours a day since I got it until last weekend and now I have hardly touched it. I've been playing Simcity 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head April 4, 2006 Share Brillow_Head Member April 4, 2006 If I'm correct...whenever you use an enchanted item's abilities then your Enchant skill increases. So perhaps because you have a higher enchant skill that you're better able to utilize the nifty abilities of your stuff??? <Bumbling sorcerer points wand at tree> Sorcerer: FIREBOLT!!!! <Wand shakes violently and requires the dude to grab hold with both hands...just as a spark of light radiates from the tip he hears> Wand: "BURP!!!!" <Smoke fizzles out of wand tip> <Master Sorcerer grabs wand out of pupil's hand points it at tree> Master: "pfft" <tree explodes....master smacks pupil across back of head> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know...I was wondering if the same thing was happening with the shield...even though its obviously not tied to your defence rating...but maybe reflects your intelligence or willpower somehow?

VooDooPC April 4, 2006 Share VooDooPC Member April 4, 2006 Every item with a number next to it is the item you get at that level. So the Escutcheon of Chorrol has one at level 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25. They each have their own magical properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brillow_Head April 4, 2006 Share Brillow_Head Member April 4, 2006 (edited) Good quality mods made by developers for a few bucks here and a few bucks there. I'd hope that you could d/l as many times as you want if you purchase it. $100 and one formated hard drive later..."whadaya mean I gotta pay again!?" Also, it looks like VooDoo's been digging in the TES Construction Set again. Edited April 4, 2006 by Brillow_Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyklik April 4, 2006 Share Cyklik Member April 4, 2006 (edited) At the rate that people are pumping out the 3rd party mods, I don't think there'll be the need to pay for dev-made mods. They are growing at almost 100+ releases a day! That said, those horse armor sets look pretty awesome. What's to stop people from turning it into a free mod though is my question.

wayfarer April 5, 2006 Share wayfarer Member April 5, 2006 Ok, can someone help me please? I'm breaking lockpics left, right, & center even though my security skill keeps going up. I'm at a 19th level security and I have not been able to pick a lock since last night. (a VERY long time in game terms!) The most frusterating part is I've run out of lockpics and I can't find them to purchase. I know you usually get some when you get into a chest, but I'm finding them on dead goblins peicemeal and can't seem to open a chest with just one. Even the very easy ones! Am I doing something wrong here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC April 5, 2006 Share VooDooPC Member April 5, 2006 Possible spoiler: The most southern city is called "Leyawiin", Just east of that on the other side of the river there is a shrine. If you complete the task from the shrine you will get the "skeleton key", an unbreakable lockpick. There may or may not be a level requirement.
