I'm in love with Oblivion...

just an FYI

Post by **Lyion** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:08 pm

Yeah, I have a level 25 Custom Tank Mage, and a level 5 Thief/Assassin I've been pushing through different routes.

We need more games like this. If we could get NWN 2 with half this much depth and a decent multiplayer interface, it'd be awesome

Fuck those retards for not putting multiplayer in.

Tikker · Post by **Tikker** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 4:13 pm

it'd be slick to have limited multiplayer

I'm only level 12... but I'm totally hooked. I made a sneaky illusion mage assassin kind of guy. I love it. It's like nothing I've ever done in any RPG/MMO before... character wise, I mean. I'll probably go pure mage next time around and then full melee after that. It's just SO deep. The mod system seems like it'll offer an endless amount of options as well.

FUCKING BEST BUY!

They were supposed to send that over a week ago.

I want to make a ninja vampire.

Slight spoiler alert:

I spent like... 5 levels getting my vampirism cured. It sucked but it was a TOTALLY enjoyable quest. I felt COMPLETELY into the world. Like, the way the sun effects were making the monitor as bright as it was... at one point I was thinking to myself, god it's bright, I need to get indoors STAT. As soon as I thought that, I stopped playing for a bit and thought... wow... what a great game... I'm actually feeling 'into' it, like a VAMPIRE... oooooooooh.... spoooooky. Very cool feeling.

The mods are what make this game. I decided that I didn't like how common glass and daedric and other high end gear is, so I downloaded a mod that removed them from pretty much all random spawn NPC's. The sky is the limit with this series of games.

Dark Brotherhood quests ftw

Im in love with it too. Am getting a copy of the PC version mailed to me, will save a particular path through the game (probably thief/stelth guy) for the comp instead of the 360.

I was in love with the game also. Level 6 ranger running around with my bow. By the way, the arena is the best part so far.

For a few days straight I had the level up indicator but was enjoying my time and didnt feel the need to rest. Sadly, the game does not work like morrowind does. If you don't rest before the second level up you continue to level!

So now im a level 25 ranger over night with chainmail armor and silver weapons. Every monster has scaled to my level and is carring glass/elven gear. I really don't like how merchants and monsters level up with the character. It ruins the fun of exploring the deepest of places when 200 feet out from the imperial city a cave once filled with rusty weapon beggars is now filled with glass wielding dread zombies.

I hear you on that, but i'd rather everything scaled then nothing did

Harrison · Post by **Harrison** » Tue Apr 04, 2006 9:29 am

Yeah, morrowind was pathetically easy.

Scaling ftw

Everything doesn't scale forever. A lot of area's have cap limits that one should be hitting in their 20s. I've hit several critters caps.

The bigger problem is if your primary abilities are not combat related, and you have levelled with Acrobatics, Security, and Sneak you're kinda screwed at higher levels since the people you are fighting are scaled primarily for higher combat skills.

Brilliant, immersive game. Some bugs and quirks, but its already paid for itself timewise, and I have a lot of content to mow through.

for graphic tweaking

That article is worthless

The best way to improve gameplay is to first shut off grass. It's a killer.

Then edit the oblivion ini file in the my games/Oblivion directory in "my documents"

Make the following changes:

<i>[OPENMP]
iThreads=20
iOpenMPLevel=20

iPreloadSizeLimit=1000000000</i>

PreLoad should be based on how much RAM you have. 256..512, maxing at 1 Gig.

yeah if you have a suck ass computer. Mine runs fine with grass on as well as everything tweaked out.
Thats right...I forgot..you own a dell :rofl:

Love you Lyion

My gaming rig is an 3500/939 with a 6800 GT and 2 Gigs of RAM.

Someday I'll be uber and get a killer PC like you, Kahar! Although poor people like me can't upgrade PCs that often. :cool6:

just think about how much money you could have saved if you retarded your kids by homeschooling them Lyion

then you could have had phat gaming lewts

kaharthemad · Post by **kaharthemad** » Tue Apr 04, 2006 12:11 pm

I just get to buy parts at cost. As for Lyion when he is ready to upgrade he knows Ill hook him up.
