2nd character - 1st character remains an 'untainted' character and it's _just an option_ for all subsequent characters. Because after putting what'll probably be 60-80 hours into the game with the 1st character, I wouldn't mind making the road a little easier for the second character that I've been thinking of starting.Mashing said:

Yeah, I'd love to have Oblivion with the option to have 2 to 4 player coop over Live. That would be amazing, but balancing it all out would be a bitch. Plus, most online games force you to play a character that specializes in certain areas, and lacks skills in other areas. I the ES games, it is possible for your character to become proficient in all areas, it just takes a long time, and lots of patience.

It would get released now, on a Monday, right after I had a 4 day weekend full of Oblivion goodness! Argh! (I checked like 4 times each day, hoping to see it).
Oh well, can't wait to get home and try it out!

Orrery is 150 pts, right?

You don't ever get robbed. Stuff left laying around will just disappear after awhile. Removed from the world I believe. Although, there has been a pair of pants laying on the floor inside the Slash 'n Smash for weeks now! :lol

Yeah, but you know where that potion came from! Those pants certainly aren't mine! :lol They just sort of appeared there on one of my stops to sell and repair, and they've been there ever since. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a guy walking around Imperial City without his trousers. I figure the "Sans Pants" quest has to be in there somewhere! :lol

Yep. 50pts cheaper.

Fun quest, but short. It has you searching the countryside near Kvath, fighting bandits to
recover stolen dwarven cogs and things, to repair the orrery. Once repaired, you can visit it during each phase of the moon and gain a special "greater power" for each phase.

I did one quest where I got enchanted Light Armor. Keep the Star and the Pick, by all means.
Two options with mediocre loot:
Hircine:
Swim across Lake Rumare from the Waterfront District of Imperial City, and make your way east on the Red Ring Road to the ruin of Sardavar Leed. Once there, head up the hill south-southeast to the shrine. You will need to be Level 17 and make an offering of a bear or wolf pelt. The reward for this is armor called the Savior?s Hide. It is light armor with strong Resist Magic to it.
Meridia:
The shrine is located west of the city of Skingrad. You will need to be Level 10 and bring an offering of either Bonemeal or Ecoplasm. The reward for this quest is the Ring of Khajiiti and has Chameleon and Fortify Speed attachments.

I don't think I've had a game on the brain as much as this one in years.Confidence Man

Just got the PC version and I'm so psyched that I can run it decently. I thought I'd have to turn it down to Morrowind levels with my 6600 and 512mb but all I have to sacrifice is a little resolution and some effects to get a playable framerate. Mod time baby!

I would go for the speed buff as opposed to the luck one. Like Speevy said, luck seems to be pretty arbitrary, and I've found lots of excellent loot without boosting my luck. Speed on the other hand can really be helpful especially as a thief. My character moves so fast I don't really have to bother with using a shield anymore.

Most of what luck does is modify your skill level. High luck is effectively the same as operating at a higher skill level, while low luck is similar to operating at a lower skill level.
Just a few minutes ago Oblivion scared the crap out of me.
I was deep-lake diving for Slaughterfish, completely alone. Not a person in sight. Its dark in my room, and I'm deeply involved in the game.
The battle music begins, i turn every which way, looking for the slaughterfish that is surely coming my way. I see nothing for a bit, but then out of nowhere, my adoring fan comes swimming through the blanket of water-fog, looking like a crazed zombie. Hair flaming bright under the water.
I actually jumped. I forgot I had closed the gate on him in the arcane university a while back. I guess he jumped it!
Oh, and then the damn slaughterfish started biting my ass.

You could steal something and then stand behind him while a guard pumps him full of arrows.

I have a problem with the "Blood of the Daedra" quest
In order to progress in the main quest you have to
Any advice?
In order to progress in the main quest you have to
collect one daedric artifact and give it to Martin. Before taking this quest I already had the skeleton key got from one of the shrines many hours ago. I don't want Martin to have this item! Therefore I chose another shrine to go to. The quest of Peryite was already on my journal, so I decided to take this one.
It was a complete pain in the ass, but I managed to get the reward. Back to Martin, I only can choose between the skeleton key and nothing. No way to select the shield I got from Peryite. Does the game only allow you to use the first effing item you retrieve? I thought that I had a choice.

Impossible, since he comes back to life. We've (my bro and I) drowned him and left his body at the bottom of a well, had guards kill him, left him in the middle of nowhere fighting bears, watched him sink to the bottom of lava pools etc.Spencerr said:
Fortunately, on my file he seems preoccupied with some woman in Bruma. I thought I finally got fit of him and was wondering around the town when I spotted him in some woman's house. Luckily he was facing away from me at the time so I just left him there and he hasn't come out since. I'm sure if he saw me we'd have to go through the whole process again, so I just stay clear of that house completely.
No clue where he is on my brother's file...
As for my reasoning for him being there:
I left him to fight some guards after I was caught robbing a house... so I gather she nursed him back to health and he fell for her. :lol
To be honest, I think you have to give it (the key) to him since it was the first thing you found. Your security skills should be high enough that you'll be able to get along fine without it though. If you made any use of it when you had it to begin with.johnjohnson said:
I haven't broken a lockpick since I reached level 65 (was maybe 80-something when I gave him the skeleton key so I reverted to 64 or so). I'm currently at 100 (probably over if I checked the specific stats), so I'd have to TRY to break a lockpick now... :lol
I had killed off adoring fan in the Imperial City... 10 hours (realtime) pass and I haven't seen him anywhere, and I've been all over Cyrodiil. I'm walking through Vilverin, turn a corner, and BAM - the little bastard is standing there looking like nothing happened... scared me more than any monsters I've encountered. Told him to stay down there... hopefully he does.

No, you actualy do not have to give him the key. When I got to this point, I had about 6 daedric artifacts and I could choose from any one of them. I gave him some light armor and kept my star and key
