Goto a mages guild there is normally people in there that can do it for you.

Any particular mages guild? I went to one in Skingrad, couldn't find anyone that would do it. Or do I need to be a member?

There was some one in Cheyindal that done it for me. I'm not a member. But it's really really really dear to get it done.

Well, i've been playing around with the settings on my 6600gt.
I've got it running at 1024x768 with HDR on with a few settings on High.
It's around 20-30 in most places which isn't bad considering the card im using.
In dungeons it's very smooth and considering what a difference HDR makes, I'd rather play at 25 fps than have the game look bland and lack vibrance.

Where are the dark brotherhood by the way? I wanna join

*Spoiler*

Murder some one, then go to sleep in a bed, you should have a visitor of some sort around midnight

Almost level nine now, and this game offically took over my weekend. Shame i've got to put it down now to study for a math test.

I've now embraced the Dark Gift, oh yes...I am a Vampire! Muahaha....

Look at the searing evil in those eyes

I can now move a lot faster and I've gained a few skills. I'm also stronger. The longer I go without blood, the stronger I become. Of course it does come with a few disadvantages, nothing I can't handle though :cool:

Yeah whats the file with them variables in?

My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini

edit... the variables aren;t already in the file, I think you need to add them to the [general] section. I haven't tested it though as using fraps.

There is generally one enchanter in every mages guild. But be warned it's very expensive getting them recharged. You can also use soul gems to recharge your enchanted weapons.

*SPOILER*

There is a really easy way to soul trap enemies even if you don't have the necessary magic skills to use the soul trap spell. When you enter the arcane university you get a quest to make yourself a staff. I made myself a staff of soul trap. So now all I do is use my staff on them. Then whip out my sword and kill them

How do you actually take screens of your char like that Migsy?

Hold down R or the middle mouse button to pan around your character. It's called "Vanity mode" in the manual.

This will allow use of the Print Screen key to dump a screenshot (BMP) to your game directory.

bAllowScreenShot

Values: 0 = No, 1 = Yes

iScreenShotIndex

Values: <Current Index>

Base Screenshot Name

Variable: SScreenShotBaseName

Values: <Default: "Oblivion">

Im in the .ini file and have found the bAllowScreenShot and changed it to 1 but not quite show what you mean by Current Index for iScreenShotIndex and what do i do with the Variables??

You only have to change bAllowScreenShot to a 1, don't worry about the other stuff.

Do you reckon this will this run at a decent fps/quality at 1280x1024 on my system?

P4 3.2Ghz
2Gig ram

Just make sure the bAllowScreenShot

line reads:

bAllowScreenShot = 1

You needn't worry about the others, but just so you know they're used to alter how the files are named, but you don't need to change them.

I've a slightly worse system (see sig) and have to run it in 1024*768 to have the graphic options high.

Zebede · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:45

I have the same system as you but with less ram and I can run it at 1280 x 1024 with everything maxed out, bar AA.

SiD the Turtle · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:49

Thanks for the input. I am surprised how well my old graphics card is keeping up with today's games.

LabR@t · 26 Mar 2006 at 19:19
