I think you can use the house to store things, but you can't sleep there.

If there's a bed or hammock and no one in the house then you can sleep there.

Anyone know a good place to buy TONS of lock picks?

if you are a member of the thieves guild, you can go to Ongar in Bruma and buy 100 at a time. Otherwise, I dont know where to get them.

Thanks. I'm a member. I found another place near the Stable outside of Imperial City. Some dude name Shady Sam sells them 6 coins a pop.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

I am having trouble fighting anyone with weapons. I am only level 2, but I try to defend and stick and move and I get killed every time. Am I doing something wrong or am I too raw yet?

PS: This game rules!

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

I was thinking of getting this game. I'm not into RPG's like I used to be, but this game looks like it allows you to do a lot.

That's cool, you can steal someone's house in the process. When you kill animals, can their fur be sold and the meat be used for food?

Candy,

It doesn't feel much like an RPG once you get into it.
Truly, it feels like playing an action First Person Shooter or GTA, but having a much bigger world that you can just roam around in for the heck of it. You don't level up or gain expierence by killing things in the traditional sense of RPGS, but by using the skills you truly use. If you like to sword fight and use fire magic, your Blade skills and domination skills increase.... just walking around a lot in the game and jumping will make your guy move faster and jump higher overall.

I don't feel like I'm playing some Japaneese turned based RPG.

It's like a few guys have stated here, a Medevil GTA.

Candy, i think you'll like the game if you give it a chance and don't mind first person shooters, plus it'll have that kick booty single player expierence you've been hoping for in some of these other games - but was lacking some. Outfit, GRAW, and even PDZ.... This and Condemed seem like they have probably some of the best single player on the 360.

Still a little Raw.
I had played morrowind so i'm used to how this game plays. if you find too many guys that are tough, you'll get your rump handed too you. You'll get better.. Just keep blocking and weaving some.... and don't just press the attack button alone.. holding it and pressing it in different directions are strong swings as opposed too weaker attacks.

Thanks Zeke, if I get a chance tomorrow I may get to Best Buy to pick this up.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

I'd recommend this game wholeheartedly. I'm the guy who "HATES" RPG's with a passion, and this game has already consumed 18 hours of my life already in 2 days, lol... Getting ready to start it back up.

I wouldn't have quit last night but my stupid 360 gave me a DDE. Second one in 2 days..

Yeah, I killed this guy in Skingrad and got the key to his house. I tried to sleep in his bed, but it said that I couldn't while I was trespassing. So at the moment, I'm just using it as storage. Oh, and I got over 1,100 gold coins in his house alone!

Thanks bro, I will try that out.

candyman:

Yes you can sell animal pelts that you kill as well as eat their meat. Wow I sound like a dork...

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

Well - I finally put an order in for my computer specifically with this game in mind. Hopefully I'll get all the parts in a few days and start building. Hopefully I ordered all the right parts too, first time.

Re: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion discussion Part II

Help! I im about 35 hours in and I am now my game crashes. Here's the situation.

Everytime I return the Umbra sword to complete the Shrine of Clavicus Quest the game crashes. Has anyone finished this mission without a crash? I have tried about 15 different times and the game always crashes? Any Ideas?
