I would be careful though. Appearantly there is a bug with Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood guilds that prevents one from advancing in either. Cant remember where I saw it on the main forum.

DB quests are great - and if you have a pretty good sneak/security skill - you can steal some wicked items from your "contact" in the DB (if you dont get caught).

Of course the loot is dependent on your level - so if you've already got good shit from being Fighters Guild head - I wouldnt expect much. Off to find those 100 Artifacts.

I'm stuck on the first Oblivion gate......the one where you have to find the kings son. Ive been in the towers in there cant seem to get to the higher floors cause the doors are locked :S

you have to suck off the guards to get past,
crouch down in front of them and use ur action key.

Alright, my bro likes RPGs like Jade Empire, Fable, FF, KOTOR, etc.. He played Elder Scolls 3, Morrowind, but he hated it. Is Oblivion a lot like morrowind, or is it different enough that he might like it?

[url=http://service.futuremark.com/orb/projectdetails.jsp?projectType=14&projectId=38550: 73d5c]also, I have a 3ghz, 1.5 gb ram, GF6800, would my computer run the game? (and I don't care about high quality, I just want average quality that will run smoothly)[/url:73d5c]

I know this is getting asked allot but just curious what you guys think how well my system will run Oblivion??

AMD Athlon 3800+
2 GIGS of DDR 3200
Geforce 7800 GTX 256mb

Hoping to run it on high settings, we'll see though when I get back from the field.

Zap your PC will run it on its highest settings I'd imagine and c312 your PC is also in a great position, similar to mine cept the 3d card. I'm running on my Radeon 9800 pro and it plays relatively smoothly with most things on medium, my new video card arrives wed/thursday this week.

Jesus Christ I love the music in this game, so great and you can actually buy it on CD too.

BTW if you want to save screenshots, heres how:

open the oblivion.ini file from here - C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion

set 0 to 1 in this line: bAllowScreenShot=0

and it should save your shots in Bitmap format in your:
'C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion' folder

....altho i don't think it saved all of my screenshots i took.

Doing it that way - I was only ever able to save 10 screenshots before it started overwriting. I just use fraps. . .takes insta screens and I can make mini movies out of cool sequences. . .

Or just use the movie recorder I guess.

did any of you guys find the unicorn? by buddy found it for the 360 verison

No, and I'm having that same problem. I didn't realize how difficult it would be to level mysticism until 25 so now I'm pretty much screwed out in that department.

how in the hell do you take screen shots?

thats exactly where I am at...I went inside Oblivion and got totally raped up the ass...

I have a Wood Elf archer who was born under the thief sign ^_^

Steel Bow + Steel Arrows, but still takes like 4 arrows to kill one of those troll things.

I'm a marksman. I can kill pretty much anything in one shot with my silver bow and arrows in sneak attack mode. In normal mode I can kill most creatures and people in two shots no problem.

Here's a tip for everyone:

When you get to Cloud Ruler Temple don't put your stuff in the chests by the beds. After a few days your stuff will be gone. I guess the contents of the chests regenerate automatically every once in a while. I lost a whole suit of armour and some pretty nice weapons inclusing a daedric claymore. Probably lost 5,000 septims worth of stuff.
