Post by: Fewlio on April 04, 2006, 11:09:56 AM: What? Vinnie is nub, vampires get stat bonuses and all you have to do is bite someone every night to not become "omg vampire sun hurts." Go unarmed too, you hit so fast and knock people back crazy amounts so damage doesnt really matter for the reason that you cannot be counter-attacked. Fun game.

Post by: Fewlio on April 09, 2006, 04:33:10 PM: Fewlio posting his ini so people with crapcomps can play! Found it on some forums a week ago but can't find again due to every website making a 12 page guide to tweaking oblivion. The location for putting your ini on XP is ...X:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion
You will have to take the values from the oblivion_default.ini in your game folder and paste them over the following:
Code: [Select]
[Display] uVideoDeviceIdentifierPart1=3619102434 uVideoDeviceIdentifierPart2=298779152 uVideoDeviceIdentifierPart3=537422459 uVideoDeviceIdentifierPart4=902546081I suggest you don't edit oblivion_default.ini also, because if you edit the oblivion.ini and want to revert back to the original values you will have to find someone to send you the file.

Don't forget to change the .txt file to .ini, for security reasons board doesn't let me upload an ini.

[attachmentid=1319]
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Anarki3x6 on April 09, 2006, 11:07:00 PM: what exactly do those values do fewwwwwliooooo?

my game runs ok but some more tweaking would be nice, as long as i dont lose and visualnessessssss..

Post by: confused! on April 11, 2006, 08:36:26 AM: i got told by some guys to get this game. plus, now that i know the weakness of netherlitches to candy based violence, i will move it from the meh list to the perhaps list.
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Fewlio on April 11, 2006, 02:41:59 PM: Actually, the candycane sword can't damage it, since it counts as a ghost. Had to whip out my silverware for that.

Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Kodiac on April 12, 2006, 02:52:03 PM: So who has a problem with not going out in the sun? I don't do that anyway, in rl or in Oblivion. Besides, if your vampire-ness rating is at 100, you get a +20 bonus to most of your stats, as well as crazy insane skill bonuses and some uber powers. That, and I'm a thief. It was the only way to go, and DAMN is the bow awesome now.
Also, is there any way to stop the game from crashing? I'm running on the bare minumum cpu requirements, and a 9600 video card (ATI Radeon). It'll just lag out for a while, and then crash, with no error message at all. Help? I need my daily oblivion fix, and I can't get it like this. . .*sob*

Edit- grammar
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Fewlio on April 12, 2006, 06:26:54 PM: Don't tab out, don't let anything tab you out, don't run any unneeded programs in the background, if you have an HP printer you'll need to disable one of the processes of it hpcmpmgr I thinks. Also, I do most of my stuffs during the day, and don't like that burning, the little bonus is nice enough.

Post by: Leaderz0rz on April 13, 2006, 12:24:46 AM: how about posting about secrets and cool areas you found? screenshots of your characters etc!

Post by: Anarki3x6 on April 13, 2006, 04:05:13 PM: I don't know if theres many secrets to the game... theres just alot of random dungeons and castles, etc, to go grab loot in..

My chars have only been a swordie which i gimped so i made a new one, redguard are a pretty pimp race to be a sword + shield knight type of d00d, fun to play tooooo..

Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: ANeM on April 18, 2006, 03:59:06 AM: Yar.. got it the other day. So far I'm a level 8 (Holding off on level 9) Cat-man thief.
Though I should have probably gone as an Archer or something. I haven't stolen anything yet.. or murderated something =/
Though I did the same thing with fable. Played through as a nice guy, then murdered everyone. They never saw it coming. >:D

Also.. can you only join a single guild? if so, is it possible to leave a guild once joined and join a different one? or is it the sort of a life contract? :o
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Fewlio on April 18, 2006, 01:37:25 PM: You can always level up your archer skill, you know, I didn't take lockpicking as a main skill but I'm up to 60 in it, same with acrobatics.

There is no guild limit, so far I've joined them all excluding the main quest related ones and the fighters guild.
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: lolfighter on April 19, 2006, 09:11:08 AM: I've been playing this for a week now. Have started four chars in total, linking each one better than the previous. Now I'm playing a Spellrunner (Acrobatics, Alteration, Athletics, Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion, Restoration) and loving it.
I don't know how people can play with The Atronach birthsign. I mean sure, 50% spells absorption and 150 bonus magicka is nice, but the lack of regenerating magicka is something I would find crippling. And don't talk to me about being 50% immune to magic. As an Atronach, you have to LET yourself get hit by spells. I, on the other hand, can dodge them all day long. And it must be really tedius if your enemies refuse to cast spells on you.
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Anarki3x6 on April 19, 2006, 10:47:59 AM: it's just another one of those useless birthsigns...

like the one that makes you take more damage to fire.. who in their right mind would pick that?!
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Rath on April 19, 2006, 01:19:12 PM: I used Atronach and did very well. All you need is a few mana potions and not completely rely on mana and you do fine. I was a dark elf atronach, and for example all I had to do to get my mana back when inside a oblivion gate was let a fire tower shoot me. BAM full mana.

Atronach is a little slow to start out with though- but that might be just because I was nub. But now my character basically cant be hurt more than a little bit by magic.
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Fewlio on April 19, 2006, 02:38:52 PM: So, atronach is good for non-pure casters, I'm guessing? Hell, my guy would work out much better if I went with it, just because magic is one of the only thing that ever causes a problem for me damage wise. I only use magic for small things also, like feather and healing and soul trap.
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Rath on April 19, 2006, 07:32:25 PM: I did have more potions than I could ever use though- due to 100 alchemy. So whenever I needed mana, I'd drink a mana potion and be as good as new.
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Kodiac on April 24, 2006, 07:30:55 PM: So, I have a question-

Is it wrong that I was approached by the dark brotherhood, thieves guild, and was a vampire before level 3?

Also, a tip for anyone trying to be a thief- use a bow. They are absolutely amazing. It keeps you away from combat, meaning you need less health and thereby get more speed and agility. Second, if you keep backing up, your enemies never catch you and you needn't worry about combat anyway. Third, armor makes very little difference to a good thief. You can wear full plate or a bathrobe, and even at apprentice of thief it makes no difference so long as you wear slippers or light shoes.

Just out of curiosity, anyone know if there are still werewolves hanging around? I know about the vampires, and the Mythic Dawn, but what about werewolves? Adn about the Mythic Dawn- is there any way to take the Mysterium Xerxes without actually stealing it, or is joining the side of the MYthic Dawn against the game's instincts?

Basically, I know you can join them, but you can't do anything for them because you have to take their sacred book. Is there a way around that?

Has anyone gotten higher than listener in the dark brotherhood, or is that as high as you can go? Cuz I want to displace the gods, it'd be amazing.

Last, why does Shadowmere look purple with red eyes? It's really creepy.

[Shadowmere, for those who do not know, is the horse you get from the dark brotherhood]

Sounds like good fun, the only way to play it! Please tell me you punch people also, because if you did I would give you two thumbs up©!

Post by: Ulatoh on May 03, 2006, 03:17:25 AM: I think im gonna buy this soon. I asked my Fiancee' to get it for me, but she refused, citing her desire to see me, ever, and that she's buying me a bottle of Glenlivvit for my b-day...

Oh well, she has boobies, i can forgive her for not buyin' it.

I needa favor though, guys, can you tell me if my system is gonna run the game?

Pentium4 3.6 gHz
1 gig DDR 3200
Radeon 9700 /w 256 mb DDR

[Edit]: As a side note, I played a character in Morrowind that was a mean badass of angriness. He had a full set of that black and red gear that roxxored so much, and the Daikatana that matched. I killed lots of people.

Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: Kodiac on May 04, 2006, 02:21:26 PM: Yup, same here. I meet the bare minimum requirements, plus a tad bit better of a processor. I play on 640x480 with EVERYTHING on low- it runs fairly well.

And to all of you with better ocmputers-

Thhhhbbbbbppptttt!
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: ANeM on May 05, 2006, 02:11:23 PM: Yeah.. I have an X800 and my processor is only 1.8ghz (Athlon XP2200+ I think) and I run everything on high with only a few problems with slow down =D

Fight some vampires and become infected or accept the vampire in the assassin's guild when he offers it.
Title: TES4:Oblivion
Post by: lolfighter on June 09, 2006, 11:51:54 AM: Just be sure that you want to. The weakness to sunlight and the social problems if you don't constantly drink blood can be a bit tedious. On the other hand, you do become a lot more powerful, especially if you starve yourself.

Depends on what you chose for your main skills. My theif character levels up like 3 times a second, whereis my mage went through the whole Mage guild quest and only got like 4 levels.
