The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

I just found out my own notebook has one flaw ._. I wonder if the 64MB really matter to a point where the game won't run?

I have a 512MB Radeon X800 and Half-Life two pushes that card to the max, and I can only imagine the horrible frame rate that I would get with Oblivion.

Half-Life 2 runs fine as long as I keep things civil. I can play it with HDR on and all.

I'm downloading the iND release that's on Usenet, but I'm missing a few files on the server.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Securom.

Installing it now <3

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yup =p

How ya doing, buddy?

Will post a mini-review later.

A big positive fat point: not much loading, mainly not when you're outside.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You know, that's pretty basic story-line stuff. You discover that within the first 30 minutes.

The AI is so good! ._.

Spoiler:

Went inside the first Oblivion gate, and saw two goblins (or something) standing on a bridge. I shot two fireballs towards them, and one ran away. A minute later I bumped into it and got owned.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

someone help me.

Press TAB, then open the map (click on the compass) and click on the place you want to go when you are outside (inside it won't work).

Spoiler:

No, you don't have to walk there by foot, but I recommend it. Why? Because on your way you'll find a few places that might be useful later.

How ya doing, buddy?

You need the amulet for the main quest.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Got my copy from IGN. Best part is, the game won't be out here until tomorrow =D



edit: the coin rocks.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

The total Collector's Edition package.



The map that comes with the game. I'm pretty dissapointed, because the one that came with Morrowind was much more detailed. This map makes the game looks small, which it's not.



One side of the coin.



And the other one, since they tend to have two sides.



FELIPE NO

In the beginning of the main quest I dumped some equipment near the guy that takes the amulet, because I couldn't carry it with me. When I returned days later, it was still there.

How ya doing, buddy?

Why would you sleep longer than an hour?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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

How ya doing, buddy?

im currently playing detective and trying to find some dude that killed his partners, he said they were vampires but all he wanted was keys to a treasure chest. But i need proof so the guards will belive me. =(
i should put on some detective gadget music, maybe that'll help me.

I got something like that too:

Spoiler:

Some woman asked me if I could help a man. I agreed and found him. He told me they were vampire hunters and were looking for a man who killed a woman, and was a vampire. I looked through his house and found a note where he was. I went there, but the told me he didn't do it, and the guy that sent me is the actual vampire. I have yet to find that guy (who is currently at some graveyard and only is around at nights, it makes sense).

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Using 'Z'.

I don't know what class I want to be. In morrowind I was a mage, and then I restarted and played thief alittle. I might try making a custom class. It will cool to be face to face with

Spoiler:

Uriel Septim VII.

If you spent time reading the requirements, you would find out the card is supported >.>

Install FRAPS, it'll display your FPS.

Which has me worried because that would mean I should get the game over with before I'm too high. Otherwise I'll get my ass handed to me.

Yup, it's true. You can, however, put the difficulty lower.

I love...

Spoiler:

how you get attacked by that weird cult now =p

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Fighters Guild can be joined in three places, but I don't remember where. Thieves Guild can be joined by...

Spoiler:

Heading to the waterfront at night and finding a man with a torch in the area with the beggars.

No idea about the others.

To improve performance outside: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/i...owtopic=283055

Basically:

Go to your Oblivion game folder,

"OBlivion_default"

Search for [Grass]

[Grass]
iMinGrassSize=80
fGrassEndDistance=3000.0000
fGrassStartFadeDistance=2000.0000
bGrassPointLighting=0
bDrawShaderGrass=1
iGrassDensityEvalSize=2
iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=2
fWaveOffsetRange=1.7500

Change the iMinGrassSize=80 to something like =140, or 160 (I'm using 160). Then you can increase the EndDistance to 10000.0000 and the FadeDistance to 5000.0000. You must make the file READ-ONLY to prevent Oblivion from resetting these to default.

So how much does the FPS improve with this?

Spoiler:

So I just got through the first Oblivion gate, barely. Now I have to go into the town and kill stuff, but those little dinos murder me in like 2 seconds. I think that it's time to start doing some guild quests so that I can get some much needed upgraded equipment.

Got the same problem too. I changed the difficulty to something lower.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
