Re: Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Discussion

question, SPOILERS BELOW







I'm on the quest where you take out the vampires and vampire hunters...i got all the vampires, and one hunter outside alone. Is the only way to get the rest of the hunters to take the bounty hit when you get each of them, or is there a sneakier way to do things? I can take them out, just more of a pain dealing with the guards, and I'm not quite like Terry where I wade hip deep in the blood of the castle guard.

Spend some time waiting...they'll wander about. Sometimes they go outside the gates. Just pick your spot. I actually got a couple outside the gates and then picked the lock to the Inn room for the last 2. Silently finished the last two off while they slept, and never incurred a single bounty hit.

Take your time, don't rush it and you'll get through it fine. Don't be afraid to use the back button and burn an hour here and there, wait to see where they go.

I'd love to be able to bring my character to 'visit' other people's game's!

I'm a sneaky little Wood Elf with awesome archery and sneak skills, and a chameleon ring to boot

You'd all be like Mac in Predator when he tried to see the stealth suit..."Over there, past them tree's" Then I'd snipe you and take your stuff!

1) nothing wrong with imperial race. They're pretty balanced but I think most people tend to stay away from the speech skills as their pretty easy to level up. If thats the type of character you want to play i'd say go for it. They get some decent combat bonuses as well.

2) I don't have much experience with spells but you can equip scrolls like a normal spell and cast with whatever button you would a normal spell. 'c' on the PC

3) I am pretty sure only the boots count, but I don't use heavy armor for thief types regardless because it takes away some of the realism for me.

I agree with all of the above.

You can buy spells from any priest in a temple or at any mages guild. Each Mages guild specializes in something different.

Thing about the healing spells is they get pretty costly magicka-wise after the first one. Unless you have a decent amount of Magicka in your character you won't be able to make much use of the ones after the first or second level of healing spell.

The boots are the only thing that counts when sneaking, but like Camulos said I prefer my thieving types in light armor. I'm used to playing games where the sneaky types can't wear heavy armor so it's burnt in my head. =P

gotcha....gotta use my bow when killing at night I guess, and poison it...tried a sneak blade attack and it took a few more swings to put him out, so that alerts the guards. Goin' out of town early tomorrow, so doubt i'll have time to mess around with this tonight, but i'll hit it up monday when i've got all day, thanks.

Hehe... Detect Life, Paralyze, Smack with sword or Spells, Rinse, and repeat.

Thankfully the game isn't multiplayer as it's not balanced for that sort of thing. Would make for an interesting time playing though.

Unfortunately for a sniper in this game it's virtually impossible to hit a moving target.

it's tough, i've gotten better at it over time, but still not great. One thing I am getting good at with the bow is really long shots. You can aim quite a bit above someone and let the arrow drop with gravity, pretty cool.

TC, hope I never meet you on the streets, being that I am now a member of the Order of the Virtuous Blood.

That's right, vampire hunter baby...
