Re: Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Discussion

Quickest way for me to do it mgo was to start up my game, and go to save it, and click on save, just like you normally would. Instead of saving it though, delete all files that you don't want before you save your game. I know... wording could be better, but just act like you are going to save, and before you save, delete the ones you don't want. I had 700 saves, and I'd do around 150 at a time, before going back to playing. Didn't take me too awful long to do it that way.

yeah, i'll do that, just takes a while...from now on make sure to only have like 10 saves lol...i think the 900 takes up like 2 gigs or something

Re: Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Discussion

Are everyone else's saves in order? My friend had my 360 the first week oblivion was out so he could play it, he set up his own profile, and now when I play on mine my saves are all over the place. Every time I go to load, I have to search for my most recent save. When my brother started a game on his profile, the saves all line up numerically. Anyone know what could be causing my saves to be so erractic?

Re: Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Discussion

My saves aren't really in order but the most recent ones are on top.

But anyways I played for like 5 hours tonight just messing around in Imperial City. I joined the Theives Guild started the first mission but don't have any idea where he keeps the taxes. I also bought the welfare house down buy the Waterfront. I filled it up with all of my stolen items. I pickpocket the owners inside their stores and steal their keys then come back later on at night. I have about 8 different keys from shops in Imperial City.

I stole every single book from the First Edition store and I have atleast 150 books in my little shack. It's so clustered though, I have books in one corner, all the spells on the bed, soul gems in the fire, keys on the tabel with some mixing potion stuff, and armor and weapons scatered about.

What should I do next?? I don't have school this week so I might just go exploring tommorow and get my level up. Then I dont know.

Not sure if it's what is causing your problem, but when I was moving my 360 around I had to unplug it for a bit, and this caused the internal clock to reset back to Nov 05. So my new Oblivion saves started showing up at the bottom of the save list until I set the clock correctly.



And for Cisco Kid, I'd say it's time for you to head down to the 3 Brothers store and buy the storage package so you can put all your loot into chests/dressers.

Re: Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Discussion

I've read you can duplicate items now, has anyone tried doing this?

I've heard about this to. I'm not gonna try it though. To cheap.

yeah, i've got enough potions and stuff, only thing i'd need this for would be houses, and I have the Anvil one and Bravil one, so I'd rather just earn it all myself. I've made it this far without being cheap, so why start now? (48 of 50 achievements, and purposely holding off on the rest of the main quest)

I've never understood why people look for and find ways to dupe and find ways to give themselves an advantage. Part of the reason I play games is for the challenge. There's no real challenge in giving yourself every advantage possible.

I am having no trouble getting the money needed for houses and such. I bought and fully upgraded the house in Skingrad. Of course, it helps that I have maxed security and sneak and steal everything that isn't nailed down and on fire. =P

where do you find it's most profitable to steal from? I'm doing a bunch of oblivion gates right now, and those aren't really the most profitable, so wouldn't mind stashing my items at home and loading up on stolen goods. Just a lot of the houses don't always have that much stuff that pawns well (though i haven't broken in a house in a while, don't know if items level up with me or not)

Re: Official Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Discussion

I have a question about the Arena. I went into the Arena and signed up for my first fight. I won, but I can't figure out how to get paid for it or get another fight. I keep going back to the Blademaster, but none of the conversation options are different. He keeps telling me I already have a fight, but when I go back to the Arena, the gates are open and there is nobody to fight. For a while my dead opponent was there, but I went off and did some other stuff and a few days passed in the game. She disappeared, but everybody in the Arena training area is acting like I still haven't finished that fight. I did get disqualified in my first fight for not wearing the proper arena gear, but I tried again and won the fight. Is there something I'm missing? Maybe the Blademaster's rumor is correct about me being an idiot.

Shops and Castles are good places to steal from. Also, make return trips to dungeons after you clear them out. Most of my money comes from selling almost everything that the enemies have, even if it requires three trips. I can only carry around 6-700 weight. I need to get up to WTF's 1000+ =P.

Alot of enemies I see now are wearing Glass armor and Ebony stuff which sells for a bunch. Just find the merchant ( or in my case Fence) with the most gold. I think I get 1200 a pop for the ebony or orcish armor that enemies drop alone.

I'm gonna try and rob the counts and countesses, just for the challenge...Guards up there can be tricky, though i'm a lot more stealthy now so should be easy.

Quit whining about the amount you can carry, I'm at like 365 lol...Makes it tough to loot a lot of the decent but damn heavy stuff in dungeons. I'll have to clear one out, then go home and empty myself, load up, sell, etc. I was going on a house binge lately, want to buy them all and i know that's f'n expensive.

That happened to me when I tried to change my armor. I had to "reset it" by switching armor, talking to the blademaster and changing back, etc. It's a screwup caused by taking off your Battle Raiment, but it was quirky to try to get around for me.

I bet you didn't wash your hands off at the water fountain after you left the Arena. You probably have to do that before you get paid or get another fight.

Don't HAVE to do that...I had gone through the entire arena twice before I ever even knew you could do it
