Thedelldays Posted 28 November, 2008 Posted 28 November, 2008 feck me, this game is huge... quite like it but there is way way too many item/attributes/spells etc...
Mmm Donuts Posted 28 November, 2008 Posted 28 November, 2008 Say goodbye to your life, this game steals it...... You'll soon get your favourite spells and just use them. Get your destruction level up by firing fireball spells etc continually.
Thedelldays Posted 28 November, 2008 Author Posted 28 November, 2008 im still not sure what most of the items/spells do....im right at the start taking the amulet to joffure
The Worm Posted 28 November, 2008 Posted 28 November, 2008 dont go too far into the main quest as its quite short, explore a bit
Saint_clark Posted 28 November, 2008 Posted 28 November, 2008 dont go too far into the main quest as its quite short, explore a bit Although don't worry too much as you can carry on playing after the main quest. My only tip - go to Imperial City and fight in the arena until you are the ultimate champion or whatever it is. Instant cash really easily.
Thedelldays Posted 29 November, 2008 Author Posted 29 November, 2008 ok...cheers guys.. like i said, the number of weapons/items/spells/attributes is huge.. can anyone recommend a good few to stick with etc..
Saint_clark Posted 29 November, 2008 Posted 29 November, 2008 I never really used spells and I did the Knights of the Nine quest really early, so had a full suit of armor to stick with all the way through.
The Worm Posted 29 November, 2008 Posted 29 November, 2008 ok...cheers guys.. like i said, the number of weapons/items/spells/attributes is huge.. can anyone recommend a good few to stick with etc.. i think when i played it i stuck with a silver longsword and armor from a imperial city guard that i killed untill i got a Katana later in the main quest.
Thedelldays Posted 29 November, 2008 Author Posted 29 November, 2008 haha.. im at imperial city (first time) and trying to find Thonir...no chance
GuttedAnt Posted 29 November, 2008 Posted 29 November, 2008 Do the mages guild quests. Eventually you can enchant your weapons and give them fire, lighting, etc powers. It can be difficult though. This should be of some use http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Oblivion And the Dark Brotherhood is a must!
labibs Posted 1 December, 2008 Posted 1 December, 2008 I agree doing the knights of the nine early is very useful. The weapons and armour you gain from this quest level with you. If you replace them on the armour stand every time you level up, their attributes will improve and they will also be fully repaired and recharged. Plus the woodland grace skill is useful for not having to fight animals. I built my guy as with heavy armour and a focus on blade, then added some destruction. I usually open up on guys with a few fireballs, then run in to finish them off with the blade. My top tip would be to do the Nocturnal shrine quest as soon as you reach level 10. You get the skeleton key, which means no more messing about with the lockpicking game! I've played this for at least 30 hours and I've hardly touched the main quest. I'm head of the fighter's guild and getting there in the mages guild as well. When you consider I have yet to begin the Shivering Isles yet, this game is massive!
labibs Posted 1 December, 2008 Posted 1 December, 2008 haha.. im at imperial city (first time) and trying to find Thonir...no chance Thoronir has a shop called the Copious Coinpurse in the market district of Imperial City. I think it's on a side street. Run everywhere in the market district and you'll find it eventually. If you do this quest, make sure that you grab the mace next to one of the coffins in the burial chamber, it's immensely powerful early on.

Thedelldays Posted 2 December, 2008 Author Posted 2 December, 2008 i found thoronir and followed him...followed agimar and broke into his house..as soon as I take the book about stealing from the dead, i get confronted by an imperial guard and no matter what i do when i try to resist arrest..he kills me..if i dont resist arrest and pay the gold etc, i lose the book.. WTF!!!

WTF!!! You need to break into the house without anyone seeing you. Stand right next to his front door and go into sneak mode (crouch). Wait until the eye around the main cursor goes dull, at this point you cannot be seen by anyone. Now break into his house and you should have free reign to loot what you want. It can be annoying but you'll need to get used to doing this for a lot of other quests, particularly the thieve's guild line.
Thedelldays Posted 2 December, 2008 Author Posted 2 December, 2008 cheers for that done it now..also won a fight in the arena... this game is huge...still not delivered the amulet and i have added lots of other quests... what is a good money maker and are there any good weapons/items to look out for..
Saint_clark Posted 2 December, 2008 Posted 2 December, 2008 cheers for that done it now..also won a fight in the arena... this game is huge...still not delivered the amulet and i have added lots of other quests... what is a good money maker and are there any good weapons/items to look out for.. The arena is a good quick money maker. Be sure to save before every fight though. Don't ever use two handed weapons, two slow and they lower your defense a massive amount. I quite like using bows, but the arrows can be quite costly. So in short, a sword or one handed axe is the way to go, with a decent shield as well. If you do the main quest up until after the Kvatch section, you get some decent armour. That's the next part after you deliver the amulet.
Thedelldays Posted 2 December, 2008 Author Posted 2 December, 2008 (edited) cheers...that kvatch section is where im at now...i just got killed trying to find some scales from some sort of fish.... how do you equip a weapon in each hand then? Edited 2 December, 2008 by Thedelldays
Saint_clark Posted 2 December, 2008 Posted 2 December, 2008 You can't, it's either a two handed weapon or a one handed weapon and shield. God damn you, I'm thinking about starting a new game on it now.
Thedelldays Posted 2 December, 2008 Author Posted 2 December, 2008 do it...completed 4 quests now...still shed loads to go..
Saint_clark Posted 2 December, 2008 Posted 2 December, 2008 Have you got the Game of the Year version?
Thedelldays Posted 2 December, 2008 Author Posted 2 December, 2008 Have you got the Game of the Year version? yes £20 it cost
Thedelldays Posted 4 December, 2008 Author Posted 4 December, 2008 right...anyone want to tell me where the best place to buy/get lockpicks from? i know they are in random places at times..but is there a shop that does them........as I need one and I cant bloody find one..
Robsk II Posted 4 December, 2008 Posted 4 December, 2008 If you start the gray fox missions you can get them from the bloke who starts you off. I seem to recall you can get them elsewhere as well.
labibs Posted 4 December, 2008 Posted 4 December, 2008 You can loot lockpicks from dead bandits you find in dungeons. Alternatively, you can join the thieves guild and then buy them from certain people within the guild. Just talk to a beggar and raise their disposition high using the minigame and ask them about the grey fox. This should trigger this quest. To repeat myself again, as soon as you get to level 10 make sure you do Nocturnal's daedric shrine quest and get the skeleton key. It's an unbreakable lockpick, so you can simply keep pressing auto-attempt until you are successful at picking the lock. I bloody hate that lock-picking mini-game, I much prefer the Fallout 3 version.

labibs Posted 4 December, 2008 Posted 4 December, 2008 The girl who beat you to the book lives just around the corner from where the guy who gave you the quest stands. You can steal it back from her and then complete the quest. At least that's what I did.
Thedelldays Posted 8 December, 2008 Author Posted 8 December, 2008 tits... i seems to be a vampire or something as i lose energy in the light...how the hell do you sort this out..?
Bentley Posted 8 December, 2008 Posted 8 December, 2008 You talk to the king of Skingrad, he or his wife is a vampire (I forget), and he tells you to go seek a witch, and he puts the pin on your map.
GuttedAnt Posted 8 December, 2008 Posted 8 December, 2008 tits... i seems to be a vampire or something as i lose energy in the light...how the hell do you sort this out..? Oh dear........ That took me ages to get rid of.
Thedelldays Posted 8 December, 2008 Author Posted 8 December, 2008 Oh dear........ That took me ages to get rid of. right pain in the arse..i have been to skingrad and the uni...now i have to time it right and leg it to see the witch...keep dying though...
Saint_clark Posted 8 December, 2008 Posted 8 December, 2008 Whilst there is tons and tons to do, it is f*cking annoying once you have completed pretty much all of the quests as you want to keep going.
Rocker268 Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 I agree doing the knights of the nine early is very useful. The weapons and armour you gain from this quest level with you.

This is the same advice I would give second time i did the story i did the Knights of the nine and got the skeleton key, it saves a lot of hassle later on when you run-out of lock pics mid dungeon and the armor and weapons you get is the best in the game when you level it up As Donuts said you will lose your life I think my total game time on this is over 300 hours which is really sad when you look at it that way but I have had this game 18 months so thats less than 1 hour a day
Thedelldays Posted 12 December, 2008 Author Posted 12 December, 2008 i have no given up on this game...turned into a vampire and it is a right pain in the arse to sort out...
