I wish I was ready to spend the $1300 I need to play the game.

I guess I can keep on waiting untill this summer. Only 3 more months to go...

I'm now also waiting to see some SS of new TR material.

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 6:16 am

I'm curious how you add up 1300 dollars. I have upgraded everything but my processor completely, and for less than $350, I will have a good enough computer and the game.

But this does not belong in this thread.

I just need to take a break from playing to say...
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! M'AIQ THE LAIR!

Back I go...

I can't quote anything either really, buuuttt...

Sotha Sil and Almalexia are dead (duh). King Halseth is starting to peel away the layers and layers of Tribunal Temple rule over society. Vivec hasn't been seen or heard of, neither has the Nerevarine. The Great Houses are on the brink of Civil War with one another.

Also, Solstheim has been invaded by Nords, who want to liberate it from the Empire. I don't know if this is an "official" government-"sanctioned" upheavel or if it's a bunch of rogue Nords doing it.

Dexter · Post by **Dexter** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 8:11 am

Again, the quote about the Nerevarine is (more or less)
"I heard the Nerevarine has left Morrowind to explore Akavir, and hasn't been heard from since."

İs that real that it's not possible to fly ?
What about the CS ? For those who had problems to play, was it possible to use it ?

Technical Question

Could someone check the oblivion files and tell me if Oblivion is still using mp3s for music and WAVs for dialogue?

Graff.

For clarification, is this to say that you can have the worldmap basically separated into segments that will switch over appropriately? That is to say, you wouldn't be able to see all of Tamriel at once as a single accurate worldmap, but you could see the entirety of whichever province you are currently in as the worldmap. Is this correct? You can actually do that now?
If so, I must say: Bethesda loves us!

Fo those of you who arent sure if your comp will run it. I have good news. I am running it on a 1.4 gig amd athlon with 512 ram. (266 bus) I have a Geforce 6800 series 128mb card. you can almost buy my ancient processor and ram for the price of my card.

The card is the only componet that is really necessary. The game checks your card and sets recommended settings. It set mine high because of my card but I changed texture size from large to medium and at 1024x768 it is very playable.

Of course more ram is more better. so get as much as you can.

I believe that the Devs confirmed long ago that levitation was out, if that's what you mean. But there are flying creatures.

To answer your question, I took a screenshot from the CS: [url=http://photobucket.com/albums/y171/PoHaEiFor/?action=view&current=CSSSWorldMap.jpg]Clickey[/url]

Graff.

Music = mp3s
Dialogue = seems to be WAV, but I can't be for certain. (couldn't find the files on the disc like I could for Morrowind; lots of packaging)

For everyone talking hardware: we have a thread called "Will my computer run Oblivion" which seems more appropriate for such things, IMO...

SPOILER ALERT

M'iaq the liar is there too, but he doesnt lie like he did in mw. he just complains.

Vivec disappeared according to gossip

There is a book called the ransom of zerek that was also in mw.

I have to look in other places for books from mw.

my game didnt come with the cs, how do i get the company to get me the cs DVD?
and ya, the oblivion is cool. I beat it already (main quest)

Oh and when you become head of some factions, you get to take some profits (only some)

bj, there is no Cs Dvd... You can download it from our utilities site

[quote="The Old Ye Bard"]Does anyone know if Vivec is officially dead?[/quote]

In my MW game he is disabled.

I also disabled the sea water, so i can now go down the slopes into the sea without having to breathe water.
The seaweed also looks funny standing up. and boats float in mid air.

Um, yeah, we basically knew that from what Dexter and Massey have posted. We weren't asking if Vivec was disabled in your game or not, we were questioning lore. Actual lore. And your quote failed because you cut the end off of it's code.

Massalinie · Post by **Massalinie** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 10:13 pm

Well, after trying a few things for the fighters and mages guild, I've decided to try and do odd jobs around and abouyt and make a bit of money, to pay for better weapons, armor, training etc so that I can go and get experience in the field, doing fightersz guild and eventually main quests. But upon looking for said "odd jobs" I'm finding there to be a real lack of... anything, really.

I found one thing in Skingrad with some guy everybody else thinks is crazy, but other than that... :S

So if anybody finds any interesting misc quests, I'm interested in tip on where to go

I guess I kind of assumed, since morrowind had min-quests all over the place, that it would be easy enough to find this sort of thing, but apparantly not. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, who knows.

I find them all the time by asking about rumors or about the city. Either that, or they tell me about a nearby dungeon that I can trudge through (which is just as good, IMO)

Massalinie · Post by **Massalinie** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 10:38 pm

That's exactly what I kept doing! Nobody told me about any dungeons!

Eraser · Post by **Eraser** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 10:58 pm

Go try skingrad again mass. They mention dungeon caves all over.

I think the crazy glarthir quest was OB's fargoth quest.

Its cause no one likes Massey.

Thrignar Fraxix · Post by **Thrignar Fraxix** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 11:27 pm

I found a vamp lair as far north as you can go, halfway between kvatch and skingrad. now where can I find a cure common disease potion...

Morgoth · Post by **Morgoth** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 12:00 am

Oblivion has shipped from Amazon, I'll have it on Monday!!! (I knew my birthday would be the day, but my parents weren't sure of which version. Collector's edition, of course.) I've done some video card switching, so now I'm set to go undeniably. Then I'll be able to brag like Massey and Dexter. Lots of screenies forthcoming if all goes well! Yay me!

Massalinie · Post by **Massalinie** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 3:06 am

I am in love with Anvil. It's so pretty.. and apparantly the buildings are hammerfell style, says the guy that owns the inn thingy. I found at least 3 good quests there.

OOH and I bought a Bay horse.

knightmare · Post by **knightmare** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 3:20 am

The Emperor tells you in the beginning, it's Mehrunes Dagon.
And I am now officially a rich bastard (20,000 gold, Orcish armor, Glass longsword).

Anyone else think its nuts that auto configuring for medium settings it set me to 640x480 resolution. I couldn't play like that, but damn I only get 20 fps at 800x600 on my old X600 Pro

sounds like time for an upgrade garfield. Spend less on lasagna and save it for an upgrade, your belly can survive a little while without it

We apparently can't trust what they say about architecture styles. One of the loading screens said bruma shares architectural influences from skyrim(very obviously) and morrowind( eh?!) I haven't been to Anvil yet, but for Rihad it'll probably do since both are along the gold coast.

Pros: Incredibly beautiful game. Great quests, strong NPC development,

Cons: Many of the levels have various graphical errors that take away from the experience (Floaters, leaks, etc, some of these level designers would never be able to hack it in TR).

Actually, that's really my biggest complaint. Everything else = great.

That I spent almost 30 hours over 2.4 days playing it says a lot (Usually I need a break after about 6).

AHHHH, I have a big problem and just wanted to see if anyone here could help, just got the game and my computer say its got:

3200+ AMD Athlon XP Sprocessor
512 MB
160GB
My Graphics card is a ATI Radon 9200 and I am geting a big white screen when it comes to creating my character, it lets me do the customizing but it wont let me see my guy, then when I try to start theres that big white screen, can someone tell what could be wrong?

+ It also tells me it can't identify video software or somthing, some help would be very much appreciated thxs!

Sload · Post by **Sload** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 1:35 am

That might be because the 9200 series doesn't work with Oblivion. Actually, its definitely because that.

Sload,
who is buying a new card tonight.

this has probably been brought up before, but is cyrodiil to scale with Vvardenfall?

i mean, if they were to make it to scale, it would have to be massive in comparison to vvardenfall and if they are not to scale we will have problems when merging all the reigons together.

Colhir · Post by **Colhir** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 2:04 am

yeh er 1 thing, Vvardenfell isn't being created on this engine that was Tes3. we are doing hammerfell in Tes4.
