An Elder Scrolls: Oblivion thead

Load times for Morrowind and Oblivion really do depend on the speed of your harddrive - there are hardly long load times in Morrowind now. Though BS have got it right about the streaming of load areas - no pause at all

The UI mod which makes the text smaller, therefore fitting more items on screen at once is well worth getting for PC users

Is anyone else finding the battles getting way way harder as they progress? I'm a 15th lvl warrior now and having to face off against wraiths, dread zombies and such... They just whack my health down while I'm there whittling away at theirs, not really damaging them at all.

I'm journeyman rank in hvy armour, block, blade and blunt - and still i'm getting constantly raped

Can anyone give me some combat pointers? lol

Just got myself this very nice dagger called Sufferthorn. I went straight into the arena and literally two shotted a high elf mage heh

Is there any way to recharge the procs on weapons?

There's an NPC in 'Olav's tap and tack' at Bruma that sells them. He's not usually in there until late afternoon though.

Does anyone know of a way of slowing down ingame time? It's kind of annoying to walk from one side of the a town to another and find that several hours have passed in the process :/

Try the time mod.

I can't remember the name of the NPC come to think of it, IIRC it's either Ongar or Olav...

He'll also buy your stolen loot.

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

Screw lock picks, I just got the Average Unlock spell, opens any average lock without fail

Bandits usually have lockpicks on them, theres bandits in the ruins near where you come out of the serwers at the start of the game.

Rebel=UK= · 26 Mar 2006 at 15:38

There is an easy setting change to allow prtscr work, I think it's been mentioned already.

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">

Nieldo · 26 Mar 2006 at 15:59
