its a hit and miss problem with some people
if the menu (escape button) is up it seems to die.

i find if you press the console key (`) then do alt+tab it works

A random name, what town is that your in to get those?
Only stuff i've seen in the Fighters Guilds display cases are replicas or garbage weapons... what level are you, how long you been playing etc?

He got them out of Chorrol IIRC. I know because i've just quit out of the game while wondering if I should steal those very two weapons.

Isn't that just a replica that does only 1 point of damage?

XD

Yes.

They also get smashed if you try to attack with them

Lol problem solved. I let my game idle for half hour sitting just inside the castle walls. Like, 5 ogre's came through and two skeletons, the guards slayed them all. It was funny because the people of the village also started attacking them i was like, pwnt :cool:

gonna go out and get this game now, what kinda settings can I run it on with this system

Athlon XP 3200
1gig 2-2-2-6 DDR 400 ram
GF6600GT

i'd probably say low to medium... CPU will hold you back more than anything else.
on high settings with my system (amd 4000+, 7800GT, 2GB ram) i get around 30 to 40 FPS outside

thats the only annoying thing the AI in this game... they just... keep... coming!

you pass a bandit or an orc on a road whilst travelling (sometimes not fast travelling has its advantages

) and they will just follow you all the way to the next city!

don't they give up? or is it all just "BRAAAAAINS!!!!"

doesn't one of them go... "BRAAAAINNS!.... hey... joe? maybe we should get back... its getting kinda dark, martha will be worried!"

Lol. Agreed, the ai, once they see you will never stop coming unless you kill them. Well, in my experience. Which is rather annoying. I mean if youl eave a dungeon they shouldn't be allowed to follow you outside into the castle walls

lol. I've never heard any monster/bandit day that before

bandits tend to be easier than monsters though IMO, apart from Grizzlies.

Nah, I managed to outrun a couple of goblin shamans and a mudcrab (?!) just outside the Imperial city. They gave up after I legged up a pretty steep hill. A good think as they were kicking my behind :eek:

Lol

goblin shamans yes.... mudcrab ? HAHAHAHA

ojo · 29 Mar 2006 at 19:54

The mudcrab decided to join in the fun, it was egging the goblins on by the looks of it. I will kill all of its kind in retrubution.

I was simply watching a lovely sunrise at the time!

I was thief/assassin myself. Easy way to make money for sure.

Same here. Enjoying it at the moment.

Andr3w, I would say to keep a save from where you are now (maybe copy it and keep it out of the saved games folder to stop you from deleting or overwriting it) so you can go back and chage the details if you want a new character, rather than having to go through the sewers again.

nikebee · 29 Mar 2006 at 20:10

i'd make up your own class to suit yourself personally, unless there is one on there that really stands out to you.

i chose, an Imperial, born under sign of The Mage and a custom Adventurer class.

its given me a good balance between alchamy/magicka and weapons/hand to hand combat.

annoyingly i seem to be relying on my stealth (sneak ability) more than anything else at the moment though.

Steven · 29 Mar 2006 at 20:22

I was riding my horse while a wolf was chasing after it...Whilst I was looking behind at the wolf I ran straight into the unicorn! The unicorn then started charging at the wolf so, previously having a bad experience with the unicorn, I decided to get out of there as quick as possible .I got to my quest location after a few minutes riding and dismounted to talk to one of the quest characters in his house, after a little chat we left his house as he was supposed to lead me somewhere...and what was waiting for me as I emerged outside? The unicorn! Only it didn't attack me this time, oh no, it started head butting the guy essential to my quest and he didn't like that one bit! He ran off VERY fast into the woods with the unicorn in case and that was the last I saw of them! Had to load from my last save and ended wasting about half an hour...Funny to watch though!

Mobius 1 · 29 Mar 2006 at 20:25

Lol i've had something like that happen to me before. Was funny as hell. There was a massive brawl in the waterfront district between the guards and the homeless, people were falling in the drink and everything! I was like... O_o....O_O *reloads* -_-

Last Kronin · 29 Mar 2006 at 20:52
