Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion

[TheLoneTerran]

well that blow's.

Except for when I have 7 or 8 or even 9 guys after me, I'm pretty good by myself. I don't need help. But after about 7 guys.......phew, I wish I hadn't killed..........I mean.....yeah...anyways, I wish I had a little help.

1)What exactly is the game about?

It has a main storyline where you must close "Oblivion Gates" to save the Empire. The reason you must close the gates is because they're from a demon world and the Emperor has been killed leaving one hidden heir. You find the heir but he needs a special amulet that gets taken from you and you must go around to the different gates as they open up attacking this world and trying to kill the remaining heir. If the heir gets the amulet then he can keep the gates from opening. Going through those gates can be a real bitch.

2)Open Ended?

Yes, you do not need to follow the storyline whatsoever. Once you get past the initial quest you are free to do as you wish. The initial quest is basically a tutorial, and takes you through the process of trying everything out and finally creating your character. You could be evil, good, god only knows how many side quests there are. You can join a guild, become a gladiator, just explore the world. Amass money, buy homes, murder people(Lone ), just talk to the different interesting people in the world.

3)not restrictive?

Really the only restrictions are realistic. Physics, breaking laws and the like. You can do damn near whatever you want. Create your own spells, enchant your own items(although I believe you must be in the Mages Guild to do this, or is that just to get someone ELSE to enchant them?), no certain armor types because of your a magic caster or something. You can be a badass in heavy armor that casts magic, or some cloth wearing warrior. Same goes with weapons. Just depends on what proficiencies you pick at the beginning of the game and you can combine any of them.

4)multiple proffessions?

Proffessions? Not exactly any jobs other then accepting quests, exploring, being a gladiator, or joining a guild. If you mean skills, there' s a shitload.

5)anything cool?

EVERYTHING. You'd LOVE the physics engine for it. I love watching something jump at me and then fly through the air as I hit it off to the side a second before it slams into me. There's a lot of interesting people you can talk to. Each with their own personalities. Gaurds, some fisherman who' worst enemy is a fish who you can laugh in his face at , beggars that you can murd... I mean talk to or help, merchants with rivalries that'll pay you to help get rid of the competition, vampire hunters. One interesting thing is that you don't have to go around searching for certain people if you want to do any old quest. Sometimes they'll come running to you, literally, or you can just talk to people and sometimes quests will randomly come up if they like you enough to ask for help. For instance a vampire hunters cult ran to me for assitance in hunting vampires, luckily they didn't find out that I had just turned into one..... If it wasn't for the one bastard that got away I wouldn't of had to restart that one.

OK I have a question... does anyone know possibly why my Magika no longer auto-regenerates? My stats aren't injured and my birthsign is the Thief.

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew if blunt weapons/axes were worth using... at this point my character's so good at blade it's not worth even trying on this guy, but maybe for a mage or something if it knocks guys down...

You probably has a disease that stops mana regen. Praying at a shrine should fix it. You can see on the last magic tab which lists all the affects you currently have running.

If you're going to pray, make sure your Infamy isn't greater than your fame, otherwise the Nine won't bother with you. Then you'll just have to drink a Cure Disease.

Also make sure you don't have an enchanted item that makes you sacrifice Magic regean for something else.

Good Axe/Blunt weapon? Well, I have this Daedric Warhammer with 30 points of fire damage on target for 6 seconds... Can only use it like twice, but it's still cool.


But I still love my bow. Daedric bow FTW!
