You "find" the scroll as soon as you load.... and I'd get them before finishing everything else though, the game is just too big to wait for me . At 170+ hours I still have many quests to do (fighters guild, dark brotherhood, thieves guild, main quest, daedric shrines, etc.).... I guess I mostly concentrated on making a high level character before tackling the bigger things. I can play with the difficulty all the way up and still manage to survive...albeit with a lot less arrows and usually broken armour after every fight. So that's why I'm usually in super ninja mode at 135% chameleon

I got my Oblivion the other day.
My first day in Oblivion.

I started out, and made a Dark Elf. I beat the annoying beginning and went out to see the world. Then I killed two other people…they deserved it. I went to an inn and heard a strange story about a necromancer and a bounty. I decided to steal the horse outside the inn and go. I rode until I saw out of the corner of my eye, a devious little guy…with a bow and arrow, I attemped to flee, and the archer got one shot off. It hit my horse in the ass.

I saw a cat-woman and dismounted to talk to her. She was mean, so as I was about to kill her, the same jerk that shot my horse with an arrow shows up. As I fumble with my axe, she beats him to death…WITH HER FISTS. But she receives an arrow for her troubles, and walks off.

I get on my horse, and gallop to a town, a town that was mentioned as being a ghost town. I get there, and it is empty. Then I see a floating hoe. They are invisible. So, I do what any self respecting UM goer would do, RUN AWAY BEFORE THEY ‘GET’ ME.
I did just that, and here I am now, typing my first day in Oblivion. I hope this was interesting.

Ah, the ol' invisible town(Alsewyn I think). I remember that one....very trippy for a first experience....and very odd how you and me both came upon that town first thing of all the places you can go...

Yea, screw the main quest. I'm exploring!

i just got the game awhile ago, all ive managed to do is hunt/explore/clear villvirin or w/e those ruins are called just near the prison sewer, now imn in some cave full of imps and their annoying.. and ya screw the main quest, just do w/e u want lol

the main quest is very lack luster. i wish you could turn off the compass and go exploring

One good thing about the main quest is seeing the fight at the end...it's well worth it...

yo guys, question, how do i buy a house? if its even possible but seriously, im tired of hunting, getting good loot to sell, then its night so i gotta waste time sleepign till morning when i can just pile it all up in the house lol

Raise the town counts or countess' disposition to I think 70 and they'll discuss the sale with you....

where can i find them in imperial city? :/

Imperial City (2,000 gold)
A single room hut located in the island slum just outside the city proper.
How to buy: Vinicia Melissaeia at the Office of Imperial Commerce (Market District).
Fame Requirement: None.
Furniture: Sergius Verus at Three Brothers Trade Goods.

I took this from Beyond Oblivion

Well I played Oblivion and thought it was awesome at first!
Some of the weopens were good the new enchanting was kinda cool but the new bribe mini. game absolutely sucked WTH was up with that?
But overall the ending of the game was Good! And the graphics were amazing.

^Haha, the bribe thing wasn't really meant to be a game. It's some thing you need to do for some quests, to persuade the NPC's to give you more information, if they don't like you at all than lots of the time they won't tell you anything.

Conspiracy, try going for the mansion in Anvil; it only costs 5000 and it's huge compared to many other houses. You just have to do a small quest before you can completely move in to it, but it's definetely worth it.

Yeah the Anvil manor quest is actually pretty cool!
But i love the big place you get in Skingrad!

^I haven't got that one yet, is it bigger than the one in Anvil?

I would say it's a bit bigger! I just like the way it is layed out myself!
And the fact that you get a maid

If anyone has any questions about a few cheats or glitches on this game i know alot of them!

My favorite glitch is the Duplicate Item trick! the only thing you have to do is have any kind of bow and a set of arrows!
1. Equip your bow & Equip your arrows!
2. Now draw your bow back as to shoot an arrow...®trigger!
3. While still holding the ®trigger go into your inventory!
4.Now click on the set of arrows you have 3 times with the A (Green)button and then, scroll over the item you want to Duplicate and drop it with X (Blue)button!
"Cha Ching" There ya go

But just remember how ever many arrows you have is how many items this glitch will duplicate!

And if you have hooked your 360 up to broadband and downloaded the update patch for oblivion the item duplication will not work also along with any other glitch in the game!

Anyway good luck to all of you!

I seen they took out the glitch cheat with the update...don't know why...it's a single player game after all. Doesn't matter to me, never used it anyways. About the houses, if you really just wanna base of operations DL Frost Craig Spire.

You get a maid?! Haha, I'll have to see that.

I got the update which prevented the cheats, I don't see the point, like Dado Kast said, it's just a single player game. It would be better to have the option to cheat, it's not as if the glitch itself ruined the gameplay at all.

thanks but im not really the cheating type tho it could help to get a house... >.> <.< >.> <.< >.> <.<

Yeah i can understand that! The only thing I really used the duplicate cheat for was to make money faster so i could buy a few houses!



Yes but you only get the maid when you go to the shop just down the way from your place
she will offer to stay in your house and make you food Etc. if you give her like 150 septims or so!

ill have to try that out sometime, i got a few clothes in my guys inventory that are worth 200-500 and that dagger thats expensive also

It's also good to use the duplicate cheat on Varla Stones that you get out of Aylied Ruins you can have endless amounts to recharge your enchanted items!

Why does everyone insist on cheating? It makes the game no fun when you cheat....

I'm sorry but everyone has there own opinion!
You dont like to cheat that is plainly stated!
But other people might like to do certain cheats to enhance the games playability!
I dont really see anything wrong with that.

So you duped Varla stones, know what I did?.... I leveled up until I could do Azura's quest and got Azuras star, it's a refillable soul gem so along with Umbra they make a good combination. Exact same effect with none of the cheating . The game is meant to present a challenge, duping items isn't exactly "enhancing the gameplay" I feel like it takes away from the gameplay, but you do what you want, I had fun getting Umbra and Azura's Star. Here's a question......doesn't it weigh you down to have 10000 Varla stones, healing potions, etc.?

If you cheat to get everything you want from the game then
whats the perpose of playin'? Don't get me wrong I cheat in
some games.

It's simple really if you dont like it then dont do it!
To each their own!

And to answer you're question!
When your a level 53 battlemage it's kinda hard to become over encumbered and 10,000 varla stones would be a bit rediculous.
But in any case just stock pile some in one of your houses!

i dont like to cheat, plus i couldnt get it to work and anyways my guys rich enough now cuz of completing the arena quest ;P

also that gray princes quest to crowhaven, well that guys dad sure does know how to live in a underground fort lol

53 eh, nice..I'm only at 46 ....haven't had much time to play lately. How much can you carry right now?... when I'm a ghost(135% Chameleon) I can carry 590 and when I'm not a ghost I can carry around 900...

and sorry if my post was a little....rude.... wasn't havin' the best day that day

hmmm that adoring fan that bugs u after u beat the arena quest is highly annoying, just realized that today -.- had to lead him into a gang of goblins to shut him up



ack he came back -.-

That's alright! I could'nt remember how much i could carry so i just looked!
I can carry around a total of 1738!

My God, my friend got that game and now it's ALL he EVER talks about. Every time I see him, it's "Hey, dude, I was in the Imperial City and I had this really, really good bow, that did, like, a crapload of damage, and I walked up to this guy, and he was like, 'Hi' and I took out the bow and shot him, so he's running away with an arrow through his back, and I shoot him again and he just goes FLYING like, THIRTY FEET, and I'm all 'Yeah, awesome' but then the guards come, and they're all 'Stop, lawbreaker!' and I'm all 'No!' and he's like, 'Then pay with your blood!' and then they killed me."
Seriously, this guy thinks the word "Oblivion" was made up FOR THE GAME, and that the series is called the "Oblivion" series. Plus, he won't let me play it because, somehow, he thinks it'll make the game run slower.
Okay, I don't have anything against the game itself, but, every time I see anything relating to it, I get reminded of this guy. Sorry, but all my hopes of ever playing it were crushed by this nerd.

Ouch, that's a lot of strength...remind me not to cross you if you have a hammer in your hand

Yeah it takes a lot of game time to get that high!
I played the game for over 200 hours before i decided to go ahead and beat it!
I became master of all the guilds... Did all of the shrine quests...Most of the,
sub- quests! And became master of the arena!

I have started a new game now with a character that is good with magic and stealth!

What's the most expensive thing you have ever stolen

Ebony curias- from a a Dark Elf plantation

haha, i stole everything almost... and also killed shopkeepers... (which I advise you not to do, as if you kill them the shops will never open again. and if you break in, no-one will be there. bad... very bad for playing the game >.< )

I made a new character, but havent played as her for quite a while... I should really get her out of that cave (im at the oh so very start on this character)

Take your pick, I can steal anything

Heck if i know i just did the thieves guild missions and went on about my business!

bah who knows, i steal anything i can get my lil virtual imperial hands onto :/

Yeah with that damn 135% invis. suit you made, but i just grab
what i can and run.

But of course and I have a high sneak so I can whatever boots I like.

I just bought it today. Any tips on what race i should be and what skills i should learn?

All depend on how you end up playing the game.... you're 99% more than likely to start a 2nd character, I think we all did...

truedat

anyone have skills upto 100?

Enchant
Destruction
Middium Armor

All of my skills are at 100!
Well some are over 100 with some enchanted items i wear!

If I had a better computer I would get this game for it. I'll have to wait until I save enough for my new laptop to do so...
The only way I have played this game is that my friend has it for the 360, and it's amazing. I got infected with Poryphic Hemophilia when doing the Azura's Shrine quest. Being a vampire sucked!
I could hardly do the Cure for Vampirism quest because it thought I was intruding when I went into the witch's house, so I couldn't wait until night time. I had to run to the nearest cave after duping health potions. It was pretty funny actually.

u know u coulda just ran to a church and got cured right away right?
