Sleep is only good for recovery. If I need to do something at a particular time then I use 'wait'. Why bother trying to find a place to sleep when I can do the same thing at the destination I want.

I purchased this game yesterday for the PC and it's been running pretty well for such an old computer. I've been running it on medium settings and I expected it to look bad because of this. But even at medium or low settings it looks really nice.

I would like to up a few things but since I lack the ram or processor power my system is bottlenecked.

However.. I did encounter one problem. Whenever I see some kind of invisible person or enemy the whole screen goes completely weird. I'm not sure how to explain it. I guess it's artifacting. It just gets all grainy, pixely, and blocky around the object. While the invisible object looks just fine.

Which doesn't make me feel very good because that leads me to believe something is wrong with my card. That or something wierd is going on.

Oh also is there any easy way to make a little bit of money? Its embarassing but ive been having trouble making it

Your card isn't failing, it just doesn't support what's needed to be supported. What card is it?

Also, join the Thieves Guild and sell your good to a fence to make some good money. The arena is quite fun too, and gets you more money every fight you do.

i made my own class with some sneaking skills but mainly up front brawling, is it worth joing the theifs guild? Or is the missions like too hard to do unless you have some sort of backstab attack.

You're not even allowed to kill during missions of the Thieves Guild.

As long as you have a decent sneak and security skills, you should be fine for the thieve's guild stuff. Be prepared to use lots of lockpicks if you're not good at that security minigame though.

Woah this game is so awesome. The sheer amount of stuff you get to do is just blowing me away.

I got something like that too:

hmm i dont think that's the quest im doing

All i have done so far is been in Choral and the beginning area, but I played forever. However, I make money for easily because when you join a guild, you seem to be able to just take whatever is inside the guild and sell it right back to the trader within the guild area. So basically I picked up ton of alchemy devices and bartered for a ton of gold.

I don't really know why Bethesda made that once you join the guild you can just take whatever yyou want and sell it back to them. But what you gonna do, still greatest game ever.

Funny thing i saw when i was searching for a cave, two guards were shooting eachother with arrows, it looked damn funny. I dont know why they were doing it though,,,,

It's a Geforce 6600GT. If it just doesn't support something then that takes a load off me. I really dont have the money to go buy a new card. Not to mention AGP cards are starting to get hard to find around here. They're all PCIe.

But Im still worried there's something wrong with the card..

Mm, it should work. Did you try to update the drivers?

Double Post:
One thing I find annoying in the TES adventures is how NPCs would suddenly stop walking and say "what is it citizen?" as if I even asked them something.

Where is a good place to store some shti? I got tons of stuff that I want to store.

Also, where can I buy a house? How much is it?

Gotta talk to the right folks for a house 10,000-25,000 are the only two I've found. Can't recall the cities >__>; hafta talk to then bribe the right folks. Bribing is a frequent method you need. I don't know why, but the Persuasion system (four-quadrant circle with Joke/Flatter/etc on it) is god-fuckin' awful. You have to pick one of each and often end up with lower score than you had beforehand. I just bribe. Much easier.

Oh. And the Thieves & Assasins guilds are just fantastic.

And the oblivion gate? ;___; Soooooo damn cool. Cinematic, to boot. Oblivion is worlds superior to Morrowind. After playing this, I won't be able to bring myself to enjoying Morrowind again =p I'm sorry, but that's the truth. Thus far, I'm just doing Thieves Guild, Assassins Guild (forget the name. Tired), and the Arena for now. I HIGHLY recommend the Assasins guild. Murder an innocent and a note will pop up at the top of the screen saying your killing was witnessed by unknown forces or something like that. You'll be visited in your sleep.

All the missions are very Hitman-ish. Gotta kill a person. If you do it a certain way under certain restrictions, you get a bonus item (which are always fantastic).

The thieves guild requires you to freelance and collect stolen items, and sell to a fence. Once you reach a certain level of cash you've received from the fences, you meet with your boss-type fella and he'll give you special missions.

Any real easy way to handle Discussion & Lock-Picking minigames? When I get to lock picking minigames, I just hit tab (to enable mouse/console) and choose Auto Attempt. The mouse is god-awful for picking. You nudge one tumbler up and it comes down a moment later. How do you get multiple?! O_o;

Also, any clues on how to invest in a store? I see it on the statistics chart (Far right menu if you hit F1).

For store investments I think you need to be journeyman in mercantile.

o snap

Any way to train it or work it up? Haven't seen any trainers for it.

What's with the random people on GF and the official Oblivion boards bitching about the major/minor skill system and levelling? A bunch of people are writing shit like unless you know exactly what you're doing, you'll level too fast and then get smoked by even the low powered enemies.

I picked up this game, and I was wondering... I was big fan of older scroll, but I loved how I was able to abuse glitches. Anyone think that there are going to be major glitch? (Like infinite summoning.)

I'm a warrior right now. What's the easiest way to make gold? I barely bought myself a shack with a closet inside. -_-

I don't understand how I'll save 25k+ for a good house. (I found you have to talk to the head of the town usually to buy a house, like the count or duke of it)

There's a few confirmed exploits, one where you can pick up 8g off a body over and over and over...and another regarding stealing from stores in broad daylight.

Then there are of course cheats. Just play it through legit first before you cheatzors.

Ok, well I pretty much gave up on trying to get into the thieve's guild since


I decided to make my own class, and I'm balancing myself between blade/heavy armor with a bit of athletics along with Destruction and Healing Magic.

The only downside with the Oblivion gates missions is that it gives me slowdown if a lot of enemies are on screen >_> Of course I only have a ATI Radeon Mobility 9700, so that's partially to blame.

The game is fun overall though, I like the Arena fighting especially. Get paid to Kick Ass :D

About how long does it take before you can start doing stuff at the arena?

Dark Nation:

The garden is in the backyard of some building. Look to the compass and local map (F1) and head along to it in the waterfront. Facing away from the entrance, hang a left and hang a left into a passageway opposite the pirate ship docked to your leftish. Then hang a left and walk to one of the backyards. Just head there at midnight. No real deadline/time limit.

Where did you buy a closet or whatnot for storage? Didn't know there was a purchaseable place in the first town =(

>.> they ran out of stock because of all the pre-order >.> now I have to wait one more week >.> oh hell i'll download it >.<
