[mallowolf]

[DragonacheKing99]

Yeah I loved that but I forget it know I beat it a while back.

[mallowolf]

cool i need to know somthing about being a vampire >.<

[DragonacheKing99]

Yeah...Ok ...i'll just say this you have to first contract vampirism then sleep and wait of a while and then you become one.

[mallowolf]

i know i'm one i just need to know how to drink blood from people

[KirbyHamtaro]

i played it and i was a spellblade. it got trickier than i thought it would be.

[Cloud7654]

I was a Warrior, like always lol.
I can't wait for the new expansion pack to come out on March 30!

[jazziefox]

Colwyn is playing it right now!

He is a Red Guard, apparently.

[Pierre The Parrybo]

ive only played on the begging level at my friends house

[DragonacheKing99]

i know i'm one i just need to know how to drink blood from people
Go up to them while they're sleeping and press a button, I'm not sure which but it will tell you. Make sure they're sleeping.

[mallowolf]

thanks they don't die if you drink their blood do they? i'm on level 9 :lol:

[Sonja]

thanks they don't die if you drink their blood do they? i'm on level 9 :lol:

As an experienced Argonian vampire, I can confirm you can't kill anyone or infect them by feeding. ^_- So don't fret about it.

[MoB TGnome]

I loved this game when I played it.

I've played every expansion pack... including... Horse Armor :'(

I've beaten it twice. And have made over 6 Characters.

I've been a mage. A Fighter.

And a special combination that very few use: a Touch Marksman.

Spell Arrow.

Someone that uses no swords, only bows, and uses Touch magic as a primary close range attack.

Focuses strongly on Sneak, Marksman, and Destruction. But also very good in Alchemy for Poisons.

[/nerd]

Touch Marksman eh? I can see the advantages of that. You've got the bow and arrows for medium/long rang, but as soon as they start getting close you can just burn/freeze their faces off. I'll have to try this class out sometime. :)

[DragonacheKing99]

Hmm I love fighters though. Its in my blood the all muscle power guy. Redguard, warrior sign, over 110 Heavy armor, and blade (decrease then train and also enchantments), endurance and strength over 120, and all deadric armor with all grand soul enchantments :) I was also master of all guilds excpet theives :)

[SinisterDonkey]

Im level 52 :) don't be a Vampire, unless you want to do the Money Glitch, or have good features, You will get fed up on the 3rd or 4th day.

[mallowolf]

i need help again, ok i've be struck with vampirism to cure it i have to get 5 grand soul gems. the problem is i can't find any in the stores, i only have 1. can anyone help?

[MikkDC]

If you are at least level 15, any of the Merchants who sell magical equipment may stock them. Places where you can always find empty grand soul gems include:

* Calindil at the Mystic Emporium in the Market District has one, which can be bought or pickpocketed.
* Alves Uvenim at the Leyawiin Mages Guild has one that can be pickpocketed (for example, while she is sleeping).
* You can steal one from Melisande's basement (accessible through the fireplace next to her bed)
* There is one available in nearby Squandered Mine while you are on this quest.
* There is one available in the Crayfish Steep zone of nearby Crayfish Cave.
* There is one in the Arch-Mage's Lobby of the Arcane University. It is in an unlocked display case along with two more Grand Soul Gems that are not empty.
* There is one in an unlocked display case in the Mage Quarters of the Arcane University at the bottom of the staircase on the left as you enter.
* The Chorrol Mages Guild has a few in locked display cases.

Be warned though, that the quest for a cure for vampirism is a very long one.

Getting the gems is only the start of your troubles....

[mallowolf]

i know i've got a ways to go....CURES YOU VAMPIRES!!!!!!

[MikkDC]

I think im gonna have to start playin this again soon. I never did finish the main quest and I do think its one of the best games on the 360. Just got too busy with other games I suppose! lol

[PretztailBreeder]

Oblivion rocks. I was watching an episode of the show Cheat! and it had a whole section on curing vampirism. It should all be on their website...G4TV, or something like that. I'll get the adress for you, if you want.

i found it on youtube thanks though. :) i havent completed the main quest either i wanna get rid of this stupid vampirism first.


I DID IT!!!! that vampire was easy he didn't even have a weapon!! no more vampirism!!:)

[MikkDC]

Cool :) No more flaky face for you then hehe. What class is your character?

I have custom class, stealthy wood elf hunter type. At the moment. I can kill most monsters using 1 shot from my bow when in sneak mode!

When I have finished the main quest and all the guild quests im gonna start a game where i try and finish the main quest as fast as possible from scratch. used to love speed running Metroid games on Gamecube and I think Oblivion would be well suited to it aswell

[mallowolf]

thanks i'm a khajiit thief, i'm a pick pocket, a hero in the arena, and a listener! i have done most of the main quests, and i'm only on level 6, i stink at the bow and arrow

[flieboy135]

hmmm whats the best way to get lockpicks??? im constantly running into dungeons and finding scouts but is there any other way???

[Bwgmon]

Yes. It's called "Skeleton Key"

With new and improved "Skeleton Key", you never have to worry about lockpicking again!

[mallowolf]

how do you get the skeleton key?

[Bwgmon]

From the southernmost town, travel along the river to the Daedric Statue

[mallowolf]

sweet thanks!!! just became grand champion in the arena thanks to my sword Coolness!

[flieboy135]

are u sure u dont have to be a certain level to get this???

[Bwgmon]

are u sure u dont have to be a certain level to get this???

I think you only have to be level 5.

[mallowolf]

i don't wanna sound dumb but were's the statue? do you have to beat the main quest to find it? sorry if i'm annoying lol

[flieboy135]

alright thanks i think im level 5.... i hope

[mallowolf]

i think i know where it is now

[Surface]

Theres a very simple glitch that will copy items.

First the bow, arrows, or items can not be stolen items. To fix this sell them to a fence then rebuy :)

Glitch: Ok, take out and bow with arrows equipped. Now check the bow icon at the bottom center and make sure it has the # of arrows you got equipped. If it doesn't just shot an arrow.

Ok, now this will copy and item x the amount of arrows. So 50 arrows = 50 itmes. First pull out you bow with the number of equipped arrows you want. Then pull a arrow, with the arrows drawn press B. Now select the arrows you have equipped, then go to the item you want to copy and drop it. Now close the inventory and watch the items generate.

Tips:

Don't go over like 230 arrows this will lag and very possibly freeze you game. Also reduce this number if you copying big items.

Quest items don't work as long as some other items.

If it doesn't work the first time try a few more times before giving up. Sometimes it just doesn't do it on the first time. Also it doesn't work in some rooms.

I totally ripped this from cheatplant :)

[flieboy135]

i tried to go to the river but it says "you cannot go here, turn back" ARGHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[mallowolf]

go here flieboy http://www.ezinearticles.com/?How-to-get-the-Skeleton-Key-in-Oblivion-for-Xbox-360&id=177303

[Cloud7654]

Gotta love the Skeleton Key. It's a Thief's best friend.

So did anyone else get the Shivering Isles expansion? I did, and I must say it is well worth the money. There's tons more items to get including various cool looking armor and weaponry. There's also a spell you get near the end which allows you to stop time.

[mallowolf]

cool i heard it's really hard though.

[shingami_ryu]

I am going to get it, but not until I find Oblivion. It got packed and never got un-packed.
Silly monkeys, Happy candies for hippies!

[flieboy135]

im not level ten yet......): o well 4 levels to go(im level 6)

[mallowolf]

easy way of getting level ups is to persuade people constantly, it took a while though

[MikkDC]

Remember though that you only level up when you increase your major skills by a total of 10 points. However doing this will only allow you to add 1 or 2 points in 3 of your attributes. If you play it well and don't level up until you have levelled up your MINOR skills governed by the attributes you want to increase, you will be able to add up to 5 points to that attribute.

For an in depth description look click here (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Efficient_Leveling)

An extremely easy method to level up quickly though is pick acrobatics and athletics as major skills and run around and jump repeatedly. Also the further you fall from a jump will make the acrobatics skill level up more quickly.

If you dont have those as major skills then just use whatever your major skills are as much as possible. Here are some of the quicker ways depending on what you have as major skills:

If speechcraft is a major skill do the persuasion mini game many times to level up as mentioned by mallowolf.

Wear whatever type of armor (light/heavy) is one of your major skills (you did pick at least one armor as a major skill didnt you?! hehe) and let weak creatures such as mudcrabs hit you. Likewise if block is one of your major skills just let enemies attack you and block all the time!

Blade/Blunt/Hand to Hand - just go round beating stuff up with said weapon (or bare hands if you have hand to hand as major skill).

Armorer - use the repair hammers as much as possible on your badly damaged stuff.

Destruction - use attacking magic to beat monsters down

Restoration - find/make a spell that heals very little HP and costs very little to cast. Jump off somewhere high (but not TOO high) to injure yourself. Steep hills are ideal. Now just use said spell numerous times to heal yourself.

Those are the fastest ways to level up with major skills but remember ...... as you level up ...... so do the mosnters you fight.....

[elstupido]

that's why you should what I did, don't level up! :D

[MikkDC]

LOL! Thats one way of doing things but some quests arent available until you reach certain levels.

[elstupido]

but that's only the Daedra quests, though, the rest could be completed at a mere level one!

[mallowolf]

but you get stronger when your on high levels!! :)

[MikkDC]

Yeah. Im a completist though. I like to do all the quests, get all the weapons, see everything there is to see ............... eventually. I still have a way to go on Oblivion (still only on 390 points, aint played much of late).

Heres some of the more fun things to try out:
Push summoned creatures off Dive Rock! (awesome view from here by the way)
This also serves as a fun way to level up your conjuration. Just summon something and push it off Dive Rock. Rinse and repeat. In about one hour, you can boost your Conjuration thirty levels.

Extreme Acrobatics

* For this little time waster, you should optimally have at least Journeyman Restoration skill, 100 Intelligence & Willpower, and AT LEAST 75 Acrobatics skill.

* Make a spell that fortifies Acrobatics 100 pts for as long as possible, and same for Athletics and/or speed (if you can move faster you can jump further). This is why I recommend high values, although it can be done with very low skills, just not as effectively. Wear the boots of Springheel Jak if you have them. The effect of Acrobatics maxes at skill level 255, so with the spell and boots, you can bring it up to 250, enough to get almost anywhere.

* Go to any city and jump either to the highest point possible (like roofs of houses or city walls) or find the most scenic high location and take a screenshot, simply because it looks good. It can be very difficult to jump onto the Chapels' steeples from the ground, but it is fun to try.

* A lot of what makes this fun is the trial and error, plotting the best acrobatic, aerial path to your destination. You will discover that this is more fun in some cities than others

[pwnr]

i am a oblivion freak and can any one tell me (if they have oblivion,)has any of your armor say its in perfect condition but when you put it on it looks like it was set down and if you run in front of something i turns clear but when your not in front of something its solid balck?

[bunnypuff]

oblivion is awsome!!!!(i like morrowind better tho)
i dont know what your talking about, i do the smart thing: stay lvl 1 and get your skills up then never sleep, im lvl 4 and i have 100 on blade, heavy and light armor

[pwnr]

wow im level 8 my brother is level 32

I'm trying to close all the Oblivion gates (they say that there can be around 80) The only DLC I have are Vile Lair, SI, Wizards Tower and Thieves Den.

[Col Wheathin]

i love it, a great game for the xbox 360! propably the best rpg to date on the 360. I would love to answer any questions you have about it.

[SD rulez]

I forget what level I am. But I have all enchanted Daedric armor, loads of staffs and enchanted longswords a plenty.

EDIT: W00T! 1,250 posts!

[kilemall007]

i bought the game found it DEAD BORING and took it back:roll:

[RFT 123]

I've got it, am at part of the oblivion gate numba 1. Need to get out of it so I can roam free.

[elstupido]

well, if anyone cares I was thinking about getting Oblivion, but I got Morrowind GOTY edition instead because it had the two expansions AND it was only twenty dollars

kthxbye

[dill741236]

im a level 50 nights of the nine/seagorath king/beat main mode/ beat mages guild/ fighters guild :p and have madness armor

[Zap657]

I don't get what the big deal about this game is, I rented it...... It was extremely lame. What's the appeal? It's boring and looks like crap, is there something I'm missing or something that happens later on that defines the game?

Its the best game on the 360 in my opinion (sorry VP, you are #2).

First you make a character, 10 races to choose from and let ik look how you want it. After that you choose a birthsign, make a class and exit the sewers. Now you can do everything you want. You can decide to become an assassin, kill everyone at night or become the hero to save the world and close every Oblivion gate. The thing is, you can do what you want. Buy every house in the game or collect every weapon.

actullay if u have a hdtv (not bragging:mrgreen:) like me the game is one of the best looking games
ever

And I don't even have a HDTV and it still looks good.

[Zap657]

I have an HDtv, but from what it still looks like crap (compared to other games) and I just didn't enjoy myself while playing..... Guess it's just not my type of game.

[Calvin And Hobbes]

Oblivion is not "crap". It could get boring at times, but still a huge top seller and great game. And Zap, Oblivion may not be your type of game

[Blade]

Don't worry i'm not digging this game either Multiplayer RPGS are better.

[Insane Wanderer]

Ahhh Oblivion. Many hours spent there. All 1250 achievement points.

[Salmon]

I loved Oblivion, it's one of my favourite for the 360. :)

[Skyei]

Oblivion is not "crap" at all. Oblivion is the best game, in my opinion, for 360. And probably will be... until banjo-threeie comes out.
In response to you Zap, I do not find it boring at all. I find halo boring. I find gears of war boring. I think Oblivion is infinately better and much more engaging. So there :/

Oblivion has spent ten years in the making so anyone who calls anything in this game crappy should be tarred and feathered and hung from a tree and beat with a stick. (and then should be broken open to reveal candy.)

now now... we all have different opinions on Oblivion. so let's not cause a ruckus, okay?

[Skyei]

Causing a ruckus is what I do! Did you not read my halo thread? :D

[Avant-Garde]

Oblivion is a great game, I don't have the 360 version, but i have the PC version

[Pengum]

I've never actually played this, though I have considered trying it.
I've heard nothing but good comments about it, but I have no real clue what the whole point of it is. Is it in any way similar to Fable?

I know I sound like a total noob, but I'd just like to know. =]

[Insane Wanderer]

Sort of like Fable, only much more in-depth. As for what you do, it's your choice. You can completely blow off the main quest (find the king's heir to stop the world from ending) and do whatever you want. Join the evil Dark Brotherhood, or the Fighters/Thieves/Mages Guild, etc. I highly recommend this game!

[Pengum]

I enjoyed Fable, so it might be worth looking into. Thanks =]

[Salmon]

Yeah, this is a really good game, and there's alot of reply value :)

[BluGardner12]

YAAY! I knew there had to be an Oblivion thread around here somewhere. I'm currently hooked on VP and Oblivion. I'm only at level 8 though. It's hard to level up on that game. I do have a question though. Once you buy a house, are you stuck with it? I bought the little crappy shack in Bravil. Then I heard that the haunted house in (oh I forgot the city) is much better, so I bought that and did the whole mission and now that house is mine. Am I stuck with that little Bravil shack too? Can you sell your houses?

[Shewolfe]

Oblivion is one of the many games I have on the go..still...atm lol
I have the 360 version and love it :)

[jorgsacul77]

I can answer just about any question regarding Morrowind, Oblivion, Shivering Isles, and Knights of the Nine, so if something is troubling you, ask. :D

[D3V0N]

I have a question. Why do you play those game?

[jorgsacul77]

I think the more appropriate question would be "why don't you?". But i will answer your question. I play Morrowind, Oblivion, Shivering Isles, and Knights of the Nine because not only is it filled with action and multiple twists, but it's almost like getting to live inanother world for a bit. It helps people relax, because you get to leave your life to start another. There. Now you know. If you don't have the game already, I recommend you get it. But you must get the game of the year edition of oblivion, because it's less money. Morrowind only comes on Xbox, not 360.

[Leporidae]

*places hand over jorgsacul77's mouth*

You sound like a business man saying that :P Lemme try something more user friendly. (Also, you forgotten to mention Daggerfall and Arena in your first post)

I play those games for these three reason more then anything else:

1. I'm bored almost 24/7. So I have to be playing a game/on the internet in order to fight it.

2. It's fun 8D

3. If your on the PC, you can mod it and change the way the world acts/looks or just add some new stuff 8D (You can't mod Daggerfall nor Arena, though D8)

Good enough of a reason for me! The question is, is it for you?

I'm talking about Xbox & Xbox 360.

[Leporidae]

In that case, allow me to be the PC Elder Scrolls mentor here 8D (videogame consoles are overrated anyway 8P)

Any questions about the PC games go to me 83 Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, and their expansion packs. I can answer questions about them! Rip away.

I think you are being a bit rude. If you are wanting to answer questions about the PC versions, you may start your own thread.:neutral:

[Leporidae]

Sorry 8/ But, still, other people are going to think that your talking about the PC versions.

Besides, I would prefer to just have everything in one nice tidy (Well, I don't like tidy. I like messy, rough, and full of flames and spam. But the mods won't like that so I'll just stick with tidy 8P) thread
