Hey, sorry not bin at hoem so not got chacne to seed it. Just tryed by setting the download folder to the same one i downloaded off the newsgroup and instead it started ownloading the torrent again :/

The newgroup one isn;'t in the same format as the torrent one. Its not in rar files.

Yeh they are the same 129 rar files.
I got it from newsgroup(2.5hours) then seeded it in torrent.

So I dont know whats wrong there then?
 
just downloaded the torrent file again to see if there was somethgni wrong wid it and nope i direct the download to the safe folder but it doesn't work, however i was downloading at 1.3MB/s so im guesing you may have enough upload speed anyway.

Ive beenthrough all the folders from the newsgroup download and there is't a single rar file.
 
I downloaded and played this mod yesterday, graphically it looks great, and the new levelling seems nice, but not had a chance to look into it that much.

But it is hard, seriously hard. I started my character as a 'combat' guy, so blunt/blade, got myself a fine iron mace, but I can't stand and fight, any enemy kills me in 2 hits, 3 if I block them all with the shield...

So I switched to a bow and arrow with the tried and testing run-away whilst firing tactic, this semi-works but got into the oblivion gate by Kvatch, killed some scamps which were hard enough, then got into the main tower, as soon as I go up from the ground floor I come across 1 dremora dude who kicks my ass, without fail, every time, pretty much impossible...

So, Pahncrd, can the difficulty be altered at all (tried the ingame slider, 0% is still impossible)?

That's normal with FCOM, you'll have to get your level up before you do the main quest or any Oblivion gates. I'd suggest exploring some caves and killing some of the easy monsters in there, and doing some small side quests from random people around the map.

The game plays different than it did before. You start out much weaker than in vanilla oblivion and it is easier to die, but it is also easier to kill your enemies. This helps avoid the situations where you are hitting enemies twenty or more times to kill them, and makes the player a lot more careful about getting slammed by the enemy constantly.

It might be better to spend some time gaining some power before taking on kvatch and the oblivion gates. It always bugged me that I could start defeating the denizens of oblivion at level 3. :D

The way things play now, for a grittier game, the player starts out weak and frightened, but by the end is quite powerful and very formidable but still fun to play, instead of being overpowered to the extreme. It is probably best to stick to getting cats from trees and the like for a while before taking on the nightmarish demons of oblivion.
 
I forgot to mention... if the game is just too tough, or if you just want to beef yourself up a little, you can use altered destiny to open up the leveling mod and go to the advanced settings and click on derived attributes.

In derived attributes you can decide which stats effect your health mana and stamina and by how much. For example, for health, I do endurance 10%, willpower 5%, and strength 1% and that gives me a fair amount of life. Or for example, for magicka, I use 10% intel, 5% willpower, and 1% personality.

Anyway, this will help greatly with anyone that is having a rough time. :)

I am extracting now :). Will have a play later this evening. Really looking forward to it.

I shall leave the torrent seeding a bit more but will prob have to stop due to bandwidth tomorrow.
 
I have been trying to hack anyones head off but they kill me first :(
so its back to the water and make some crab soup :)

This is what the game should have been in the first place imho
 
Im just finishing the torrent now, should be seeding inbetween games. Im planning on making a full on mage character, any tips for what things to pick?

Agreed... :D


As far as criticals are concerned, you might try setting deadly reflex to 100% due to the difficulty of the game. Also, your crits will increase in frequency as your combat skills increase.

Nope... and you shouldn't need to run boss.exe unless you are adding mods or something. The obmm preserves the load order.
 
Ah the instructions in post #1 say:
4A) Open the oblivion mod manager and make sure all of the ESP mods are ticked in the left box and the mods are blue on the right. Then exit...

4B) Run the Boss file in the data directory.

5) Always run the game with obse_loader.exe, which is located in the Oblivion directory on your HDD now DO NOT USE OBLIVION LAUNCHER! .You must start the game with this file from now until you delete the game.

Can i just ignore it and presume everything will run ok now?
