Oblivion Thread

[Dark_Raven]

Oblivion is on my buy list for next month, now that I can play it.

[Darque]

Have you played morrowind?

[Dark_Raven]

Probably a quarter way through it. It didn't grab my attention so I lost interest.

[Sand]

Then the same will probably happen with Oblivion.

[Dark_Raven]

I'll go back to playing it. I'll play something until I lose interest, move on to something. Eventually the cycle will take me back to the game I left off from.

[Darque]

I dunno, Oblivion is a bit more linear, so it might hold your intrest to the end.

[Dark_Raven]

That would be good. Games like the BG series, IWD, both Kotors, both Diablos and Bloodlines I have played nonstop from beginning to end when I first got them.

[WITHTEETH]

Oblivion is starting to just annoy me now with hard creatures over and over again. Its grunt work. And the caves, alyeid caverns are all looking the same to me. and people are starting to run out of things to talk about. Not to mention running in and out of the defeated areas for loot. Its all begining to seem to grunt work.

 

I'm really diggin the spell making and enchantments though! Those are SOOOO COOL DUDE BRO! I still have atleast 2 clubs to finish DBH and TG. The new addon looks awesome.

 

What are your main spells/weapons/enchantments of choice everyone?

 

I can't get frenzy to work for some reason...

[Noceur]

With my first play-through of oblivion, I was primarily a swordsfighter with shield and a wee tad of healing.

 

And I finished that plot like it was my lover long lost. My second, third and forth didn't get that far into the plot.... well, my second did.. a thief and archer. I was, as they said back then, the Feces.

 

The only thing that can get Oblivion hard on you is levelling too fast. Like, if you level up by making potions and stuff, whilst you haven't fought a lot, you'd be the grand champion potionmaker, but the n00b at fighting... which of course brings trouble into the hood when you try to figh, considering you're pretty low level at fighting but high level alchemy, whilst your enemies level with you, except they are l33t at fighting.

 

err... sorry, I'm a tad drunk (i.e pissed like a Pratchett squirrel)... what I'm saying is, all foes are the same level as you, and if you've leved up with nothing but lockpicking, you're bound to get screwed.

EDIT: Because your foes will be lvl:d with phat fighting skills, not enchanting, alchemy or smithing skills or whatever got you levelled up so fast.

 

And don't get me started on persuation.

I think all my talents are useful. Im a master illusionist/blade/light armor. I typically just sneak around behind people while invisible and get a 6X bonus hit with my custom enchanted Deadre longsword that i dubbed "Blade of Destruction" but that can get tedious sometimes.

[Darque]

I used swords and spells.

 

Mainly electrical spells because almost EVERYTHING on the other side of the oblivion gates were vulnerable to electrical damage.

 

Plus it was fun to watch things flop through the air after getting hit by area affect electricity :D

 

Also, I used ninja style spells. Short term invisibility+spell effect = win.

[WITHTEETH]

My destruction level is pathetic. I was using it alot until i leveled up a few times and it became more effective to just use my sword. Plus it was nice to sneak behind the mages and get one deadly blow in.

 

When i get into the oblivion gates i typically just zoom right in and out with my invisibility on. It makes the game so easy if you don't care about claiming weapons and armor for selling later.

 

I already have over a hundred K so it seems kinda pointless... :">

[Darque]

Everything on the other side of the gates is too heavy to carry and sell... so that's actually a good tactic.

[Tigranes]

Everything on the other side was horrible for me, because

 

1/ It was ugly and of horrible exploration value, which cuts out a lot of Oblivion's advantages.

 

2/ There was ONLY combat. And way too much of it.

 

3/ I prefer my enemies to do something other than GROAR and run directly at you.

 

The first Clannfear battle in the courtyard, when you go to that K-town thats ravaged. Now that had a real sense of thrill and 'terror'. But do they really have to make you go in there so often?

 

...no, I didn't think Illusion would be very useful as a Major discipline. ;

[Dark_Raven]

I wonder if the collector edition is still aorund. i Would prefer that over the normal version

Really? (w00t)

 

Hey, wow, I got the collector's edition one and didn't even realize it. (w00t)

 

That coin is pretty darn cool too.

[Gorgon]

I agree the oblivion gates were pretty tedious, did one did them all.

 

More fun to raid forts for loot even if they don't have as much.

[Dark_Raven]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Silly lil hutt it comes with more than a coin

[Tigranes]

"More" is not the right word there.

[WITHTEETH]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Silly lil hutt it comes with more than a coin

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

just wait till nov 21 so you get all the add ons up to that date with the game.

[Gorgon]

Oblivion adons ?

[WITHTEETH]

Oblivion adons ?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, on nov 21 supposedly you can get an addon that includes all of these oficcial addons plus the new knights of the nine.

Clicky!!!

[Gorgon]

Charging 0.99 $ for a micro mod seems kinda pathetic, but I guess it adds up.

[Dark_Raven]

Pay for mods?
