Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

Got a question and I've been wondering about this since Morrowind. When you make poison potions and potions that take away 'your' health,stats, etc., what else can you do with those besides sell them? I know not to drink them but can you get enemies or other NPCs to drink them?

Apply them to weapons so the next shot inflicts the poison.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

ok someone please tell me....

Has anyone who is not into RPG's and has not played Morrowind or other ES games been playing this and enjoying it?

It sounds awesome but this game type has not particularly intrigued me previously (closest I've come is the Zelda series which I have enjoyed)

thanks

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

Quite a few people in the "Impressions" thread attest to that very fact; there's only one or two who aren't into RPG's who DON'T like it. Everybody else seems to be raving about it.

UH OH! I just became a vampire!

What the hell do I do now? I have this cool night vision and can see the heatoutlines of any living thing though that is very cool.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

Either stay that way, or if it's within 3 days, use a cure disease potion. If not, there's a Priest you can go to for the quest to cure it.

I wouldn't, though

You get faster and stronger (as well as more resistant to physical damage, yet vulnerable to fire) every day you don't feed, but people won't talk to you. My plan is to contract vampirism, feed and get quest info, then wait for several days before slaughtering every living thing inside the quest zone.

Since you're a vamp, try this: find a sleeping person and sneak up on them, and use the A button to "interact" with them

You can either feed once a day to keep your appearance and skills normal or the less you feed the more your appearance will change and people will take notice but your vampire skills will get stronger. You can also go to a priest and cure yourself I believe.

Can I do this now? Or do I have to wait 3 days?

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

I think TCrouch might be the first person to kill every NPC in the game.

[TCrouch]

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

That's my goal. If they don't have a little "crown" on them when I get close, it's a death warrant. I think I may start becoming more choosy with who I decide to disembowel. There's not much thrill of the hunt when I just kill everything that moves, so with my guy that I'll create tonight to start the "killer" thread, I'll try to be a bit more discreet about my sadistic tendencies.

If you've already contracted vampirism (shows up as something hemophilia), then you should be good to go. If not, then just wait a couple days. However, it may be even better to not do it at all and just watch your guy become this freakishly scary shriveled prune of a walking corpse.

many more questions to come.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

1) How do I increase my personality?
When you talk to certain people at the bottom you can choose "Persuade". Read the directions in the manual for more details on the mini-game.

2) How do I improve my alchemy?Find a mortar and pestle. Press A to add ingredients.

3) How do i level up?
Level your major skills. 10 major = 1 level.

4) Tcrouch said he could drag corpses... i want to do that too!
Left Button. Make sure you grab a part of the corpse that is draggable. I go for the head.

5) How can I find out how much gold I have?
Push B. Go to your Inventory (the weapon) its toward the bottom.

6) How do I buy a house?
I wonder the same

7) and where can I make some posion potion to put on my weapons? that sounds cool..
Improve your alchemy skill to make better potions and you may need recipies. I have never done alchemy.

EDIT: 8) How and where do I sell stuff?
Find an NPC. Where at the bottom by "Persuade" you can choose "Barter" *I think. Press Y to try and get a better deal

------------------------------

Read the manual. It will help A TON!

NOTE: You will screw up your first character. Don't worry, everyone does it.

We should start an FAQ Thread.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

Questions of my own ...

When shooting an arrow. Is there a damage difference between head shot and leg shot. I think I shot someone in the heart and they died much faster, but I don't know if it was just less Hit Points to start.

We should organize all the questions that don't have spoilers and number them in the front of this thread.
