swphreak Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 That's not what I found. I found the ring on the body. I wasn't finding the body period. I restarted my game since I wasn't that far in, and I wanted to change some classes. I went to Falcar right away and saved before applying to join the guild. It took like 4 tries reloading before the body showed up in the well To Wall: Talk to beggers in the street, some of them know more, but won't talk unless you make them happy.

Tyrion Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Wow... I can't even find the theives guild. Anyone wanna help? Either get a beggar's disposition high enough and talk about the Gray Fox(wolf, sheep?) or go to jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Speaking of beggars, I was suprisingly able to kill a beggar in Layewiin in the street withouth getting in trouble. Also, the chapel doors in Layewiin are messed up. If you enter through the front into the chapel and then turn left and use that door, you spawn on as if you used the right door to exit. Going in through the doors is fine, but using the left door to go out is messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 To Wally: Talk to beggers in the street, some of them know more, but won't talk unless you make them happy. haha I just heard the rumour concerning that. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 So, what's the consensus on Oblivion then? Live up to all the hype? All the reviews I've read have said the graphics are amazing, the world is great, and that there are still major balance/gameplay problems/limitations. But they have all given it 9s or 9.5s anyway... so i guess the atmosphere and graphics overide any gmeplay issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datheus Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Well, the graphics are very nice, but it's rather advanced. If you want full-fledged graphics, you'd better get the 360 version. The hardware required to crank this game to the max at 40-50fps won't be affordable for a while. Other than that, I'm loving the game. I'm hurting my wrist I'm playing it so much. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have all given it 9s or 9.5s anyway... so i guess the atmosphere and graphics overide any gmeplay issues? The amazing thing is that when I think of writing an Oblivion review (not my job this time around) I think: - the enemy leveling is problematic - the main plot is weaker than the side-stuff ... by far - the friendly AI is stupid and results in too many quick-save & reloads as guards and other allies walk into my fireballs and get killed ... - other glitches ... but yet I would give the game 4.5/5 in a heartbeat ... because while it is easy to compile a list of quibbles, they are just that. The game experience on whole is truly excellent. I still find the world of Gothic II more alive and the schedule and 'overheard dialogue' more interesting (most times in Oblivion they spew things you've already heard completely without context to each other), but this is a wonderful game. I'm running on two systems, one that detected on 'Medium' but works well with all distances maxed out, and my main system gets 'ultra high' and is a thing of beauty.

BongoBob Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 What are the specs of the ultra high system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 What are the specs of the ultra high system? It is the latest Dell XPS laptop, so it has a 256MB nvidia 7800 GTX card and a 17" screen. Thing of beauty ... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 My friend plays at nearly highest (no aa or HDR though) with an athalon 64 3200 (i believe), a gig of ram, and ati X800GTO with a great framerate all around, probably about 30~40 fps while outdoors.

As far as I know, it cant. Games can't take advantage of 64-bit processing unless it's on a 64-bit operating system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 SOunds like the overal experience is pretty darn good. But as i only started playing morrowind last week i might wait a while... It is the latest Dell XPS laptop, so it has a 256MB nvidia 7800 GTX card and a 17" screen. Thing of beauty ... OT: Are XPS laptops upgradable at all? I was thinking of splashing out on one - but its a heck of a lot of money if it just ends up being obsolete in a year or so. Any pros/cons/comments?

It' doesn't explicitly take advantage of 64-bit processing, but it definatley boosts the performance if you have an amd64 chip in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of splashing out on one - but its a heck of a lot of money if it just ends up being obsolete in a year or so. Any pros/cons/comments?I dunno ... because I tend to go through a laptop every year or two ... so I remember that they said they were making the XPS upgradeable, but don't know if they actually did. On the system itself, it is really excellent. Solid, reliable, with some excellent performance on everything I have thrown at it (including Oblivion, F.E.A.R. and so on) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
