Elder Scrolls of Oblivion

No, make sure you wait until the bowstring is fully tensioned all the way and aim a little higher.
Also you do not need headshots, you just need to hit any part of the body for the same amount of damage.

Yah, I got the hang of it last night. It's much easier in 1st person mode, the gameplay is kinda similar to a hunter in WoW, kite + shoot ,repeat. It's awesome game thou, I'm overwhelmed there is so much to do. I tried the second quest where you go in the gates of oblivion and got owned soon after as I only had 10 arrows left :D

My character is a Wood Elf and has his birth under the sign of shadow (60 second invisibility spell), Acrobatics, Marksman, Light Armour, Illusion, Blade, Mysticism and Personality I think. Do you think this is good?

By the way ,are the city guards killable ? (when you resist arrest) :D

Having a blast so far, only problem is, it's highly addictive.


Edit: How do you "sneak" ? I find enemies see me 50 yards away from them, sometimes even with chameleon on :S, is this something that becomes better as you level it?

I find that being a pure archer isn't a good idea, that's why I also have Blade as a major skill like you, that way you also get good at using a sword if you are spotted.

Guards are killable but difficult and not advised at all, do not get arrested or pay the fine.

Sneaking at lower levels/skill means that the boots you wear affects your ability to sneak so better take them off or move very slowly, stay out of the light and only move when the enemy has his back towards you.
 
Ah thanks :D.

Yah I thought creating a rogue/archer hybrid would be a good idea, the starting area is such a closed dungeon that it was hard to use arrows at such short distances so I thought having a dagger/sword would be handy.

I try not to get arrested but stealing is so fun :D.

Thanks for the advice on sneaking, that makes sense.

When stealing or breaking into houses always sneak and make sure you are not spotted when breaking the locks.

My sneak is currently ~77 and I can get sneak melee kills which are even more satisfying, you get a 6x damage bonus instead of 3x with an arrow so it's an instant kill for everything.
 
As I have said many time before, your best option when starting is getting into The Dark Brotherhood guild as it kits you out very well early on. Google on how to get in, it favors the rogue/archer/sneaky characters :)

Also the thieves guild sounds like its up your street.

Thanks, I had already thought of the thieves guild :D. I'll have a look into the dark brotherhood.
 
Just picked up the GOTY Oblivion for £20 worth it?


By the sounds of your posts seems like it could be a very good game.
 
Just escaped the sewers seems like a very addictive game :)


Looks like it will last awhile aswell.


I picked my character as :

Race : Wood Elf
Birthsign : Thief
Class or w/e : Archer

This game is much better on the consoles I think because you dont spend forever faffing with mods and addons :o

You just play it :D

True I had on PC since launch and spent most of the time tweaking it when it first came out to run well, then the mods came and I spent more time trying mods out than playing it. Not saying thats a bad thing but I am enjoying playing 'THE GAME' on my ps3 sitting by my open fire relaxing and cosy wandering the great forest.

Couldn't agree more, I am doing the same now on the PS3.

I think the image quality is actually better than expected, really great fun and one of the best games of all time.
 
For £10 bargin try and get the gray version the GoTY as it has 2 expansions on it makes a awesome game twice as long and even more fun
 
Oblivion is stupidly good, especially for a launch game. No current generation software library is complete without it, no matter the platform.
