The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

Started by forumcrew59 pages

yea i am in my 30's im at 35. Also I have worn heavy armor since the very start of the game, managed to get it to 100 in my 20's (started it as a primary skill as well) The nice thing is as long as im wearing it, it doesnt encumber me meaning it doesnt count toward the total weight i can carry. I pretty much always use a sword and shield, i used a claymore for a short period of time and i will generally carry a staff or 2 with some better magic attacks.

Here I am again putting my 2 cents in, I read that Oblivion has just broke the record, and sold over 1.7 million copies worldwide, and it's still on the rise... I was kinda surprised, because this means that as an RPG it pretty much beat any Final Fantasy game in terms of sales.

I have a question, can you sould trap a powerful creature in a Grand Soul Gem, and enchant your armor, or weapons with it? I mean you did this couldn't you increase your strength? I still don't have Oblivion, I won't be able to buy it until the end of this month. The reason why I asked these questions was. because you could do the Grand Soul Gem trick in Morrowind, as long as when you enchanted thing you secified it having a constant effect.... ie; strength, jumping, night vision...etc... Oh and thanks for all of the play by plays, I come here often to read what you guys have experienced, while playing.

how is that a record of diablo 2 sold 1.5 million copies in 1 week?

Anyone else encounter some hostile pirates?

I swear this psycho pirate chick attacked me for no reason. So I kill her and took all her stuff..

...including her garments. ๐Ÿฅท

Ohhhh, kinki.

I love this game. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Has anyone's game been shutting down lately.... I don't know if my 360 is messed up or if I scratched the disc. Cause when I go into certain areas it says "Can't read disc," but I always put the disc back in its case so I can't see why it would be scratched ๐Ÿ˜•

And I cleaned it like 10 times

yea the pirates hate life, they definantly gotta die.

Spartan it may just have gotten scratched inside the 360, this has been a fairly common 360 problem. Microsoft says the xbox wont do this unles s you move the machine while its operating and they also warn you to never do so, making it not their fault. If it came from the 360 it would have very clear circular type marks on the cd. I have heard some game companies will replace the game for you though, and most stors offer insurance on 360 games for like 3 bucks its worth it.

FINALLY beat it ๐Ÿ˜„

Ok so if it was the pirate at the waterfront who attacked u (near the gate to the small poor houses). Then u would have known that she threatened to kill u if u got near her boat, which u probably did and she attacked u.

Gamestop has a 7 day return policy, I know because I exchanged my original one within 3 days. I lucked out and noticed my 360 having problems within a few days, returned it, got a new one, and they said that their period is 7 days for a return of a system. Unless you got the product placement form which costs an extra 30 bucks, which allows you to return it within a year.

However, if worse comes to worse you can send it to Microsoft and they'll fix it or send you a new one, all on their dime. Should only take a few days.

and then the nightmare begins. you have to wait about 2 weeks if you're lucky, and they dont fix yours, but rather send you a refurb of one of the many many lemons. then it breaks within days and repeat process. i've read accounts of people going through 5 xboxes and counting.

also a lot of people think their 360's are messed up because games are being scratched but actually its just very sensitive and if you move the system at all while a game is in it, it will likely be scratched and that is not microsofts faults. There are still some faults with the 360 as far as over heating and such though.

Anyone been able to max out their rank in every faction?

As have I, but when you take into account the total number of 360's that are sent back, and the amount of people getting duds back isn't very high. You have to remember, people are more likely to post on a message board about the topic and complain if something isn't working then they are if they get a working console.

while a simple fact of business is that the unsatisfied customer will be at least 10 times more vocal than a satisfied customer, i find the testimonials of people running through 3 or more xboxes to be...disturbing. you said it yourself, the chances of getting a dud are slim. what is it, 1 in a 100? so to get 2 in a row should be like 1 in 10,000 then, if the odds were the same. and 3 in a row...would be like winning a sweepstakes wouldnt it? well i'm seeing too many 'winners' out there

Hey, is there an easy and quick way to get Lockpicks??

buying them would be the easy and quick solution.

Unfortunately I don't think the odds are THAT low. They're obviously a lot higher then they should be, but if something goes wrong with your Xbox you shouldn't just assume that you'l be getting a dud back, because chances are, you won't.

If a launch model is still good and hasnt given problems yet, it obviously isnt the thing unless you accidentally did something to it.. Mines a launch model and it has not given me 1 single little problem. ๐Ÿ™‚
