Oblivion levelling

Psyk · 30 Mar 2006 at 01:21

Well I put the difficulty down a tiny fraction and things are much easier now. I think stuff to do with the main quest should be scaled but the rest shouldn't. That way you could go through doing side quests as normal but the main quest will always be a challenge.

I had changed my slider ever so slighty and found the Imp looking things impossible to kill.

Did you change your slider at all before the game? You could always just bring it down a notch anyway.

Also have you got some real crappy major skills that have nothing to do with combat?

At the end of the day if you're struggling then you could always boost the occasional stat or 2.
I personally don't use them but I've only just started. It may help people in sticky situations or need to boost a neglected stat or two. Rather than starting again you could use these permanently or temporarily.

Edit the first one if you want to default to having screenshots on by default for all users. The settings it uses at runtime are the ones from My Documents folder.

After you mod the INI file, you can press PRTSCN button and Oblivion will write a BMP file to your game folder.

Ummm... Well my strength is on something like 67. Atm.. But my slider, no i had never touched it. I only just scraped through most dungeons. I have the birthsign of a thief and i am the class of assassin. Maybe thats my problem? I mean i should be able to deck goblin shamans by now

It is ridiculous that the higher level you get the harder the game gets, thats just stupid, the devlopers must have been out of their mind.

JimJones · 30 Mar 2006 at 16:06

You can turn the mods on and off using the data file option on the launcher. If you have something that a mod has given you it will vanish or come up with an error. Most mods can be used with out starting a new char some can't, there isn't many of them.

There are some that set creatures levels staticly and I've just found one that randomises everything. That should be fun won't have to worry about leveling up to make things hard since some things will be hard anyway

I agree, but most of the posters on the official forums did not: almost since MW came out the more vocal players were complaining that the game was too easy, especially at higher levels (which it is). The two expansions were maninly made they way they are just to bring on some stronger nasties.

My feeling about the new leveling system is that it removes the element of choice. MW was as hard as you wanted it to be, but this remains hardish unless you use the difficulty slider - which brings it's own penalties. And the the fact that loot also levels leaves you with the ridiculous sight of bandits wearing ebony armour robbing you, while only having twenty gold on them. If your short of readies guys, try selling some armour...
