Get some invisibility potions.

Destor 03-08-2007 04:07 PM

I'm 85 hours in and I have only done 3 main story missions.

Destor 03-08-2007 04:31 PM

As far as your question goes:

If you mean pickpocketing then (depending on your sneak level) try not to steal things that are heavy. Someone is less likely to notice you've stolen they're house key than they are to notice you took their sheild for example.

If you mean just random stolen goods then don't do it in front of people. The NPC tend to go to bed around 12 am (on average.) Just break in and sneak around looting shit.

Tips:

Open Very Easy, Easy, and Average lock spells will help you out a lot in the earlier part of the game. Get a hold of average if you can cast it (or higher.)

Theirs a nice Invisibilty spell sold from the dealer in the Asassins Guild. But it if you can cast it. (Not Chameleon, INVISIBLE.)

SNEAK EVERYWHERE. Most importantly in caves, you get a high sneak skill + and invisibility spell and no one will find. I'm a 98 sneak right now and I can run with the Invisibility spell and no one will ever find me. It's pretty sweet.

I got the CE for $30 but I'm waiting until I get my HDD before I play it.

In case you don't know, this works after the patch on the 360.


Item Duplication(Pre/Post Patch)
1. Pull out any weapon(including fists)
2. Attack(Pull right Trigger)
3. Switch to inventory before attack ends(B button/red)
4. Equip any set of arrows and press A until a message, "You cannot change weapons while attacking" appears.
5. Drop Item you wish to Dupe
6. Exit Inventory and collect Duplications.

Note:
~The following cannot be duplicated; Stolen goods, one-of-a-kind items(Normally named something), Nirnroot, & Quest Items.
~The number of arrows in the set you equip will be how many the item becomes(at least)

Duplicate Varla Stones. As they can be sold for 600 gold or more a piece.

Extreme Angle 03-09-2007 11:06 AM

I use a bow for duping.
Completed the game last night, so I'm going to go trade it in along with saints row and gears of war to get graw 2, and hopefully some marketplace points.
Well good game tho

Bad idea

Shaggy 03-09-2007 11:57 PM

Ive still yet to play this...this is one of those games that I would love to be able to get into...

D Mac 03-10-2007 12:55 AM

Make sure you invest plenty of hours.

You know there are side quests don't you. Also Knights of the Nine expansion which is a whole new game in itself. Not to mention Shivering Isles coming out.

Extreme Angle 03-10-2007 04:09 AM

It's gone now, I pretty much play games and say I've completed them when I have all the achievements. Oblivion - 1000, Saints Row - 1000, Gears of War - 950 :( seriously was too much for me

Destor 03-10-2007 03:20 PM

You're missing out.

D Mac 03-10-2007 05:02 PM

I've got a Summon Spider Deadra and Summon Deadroth spells. Man they kick ass. :D

So you're one of those geeks who gets off by showing people your 50231012 achievement points because you expect them to automatically bow at your video game greatness.

I'm a novice is conjuration. (Can you recomend me a spell [and where to get it if possible] that cna get me started? Like I can't use any summon spells. The only thing I can cast in conjuration is turn undead. And I don't fight enough Zomies at my level for it to help.)

D Mac 03-11-2007 04:49 PM

Well I'm a Breton and I have Conjuration as one of my major skills. Started off with summon skeleton and used it quite a bit. Forgot where I got it tho.

No It's just the games started to bore me when there was no achievements to get in them... Gears of War online was too glitchy

D Mac 03-11-2007 07:35 PM

Oblivion is far from boring anytime.

Can you remember if it was one of the main cities? (Mage's Guild wise.)

D Mac 03-11-2007 07:54 PM

I'll look it up.

D Mac 03-11-2007 07:57 PM

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page
That page ^^^^ is the source for all things Elder Scrolls.

Ah that's right. You start with this spell if Conjuration is one of your major skills.

D Mac 03-11-2007 07:58 PM

Calindil in the Mystic Emporium in the Imperial City. :y:

Destor 03-11-2007 08:01 PM

Awesome.

D Mac 03-28-2007 05:01 AM

Just got Shivering Isles and it's fucking awesome. A whole new world filled with multiple dungeons and quests. Not to mention new cities, characters, creatures, weapons and armor, items, and ingredients. And even a new voiceover. A must buy for those that still have Oblivion.

BTW playing Oblivion is the most fun Ive ever had on an RPG. And this makes it even better. :cool:

Mr Regal 04-02-2007 08:08 AM

I just picked it up at lunch time! I'll give a go when i get home.

So if i don't post for a couple of months you'll know why.

Mr Regal 04-03-2007 05:23 AM

Played it last night for a few hours, pretty impressed so far. looks awesome and it's fun the way you can just do whatever the hell you like.

D Mac 04-03-2007 01:02 PM

I am now Arch Mage. :cool:

Mr Regal 04-03-2007 05:24 PM

I'm still a bitch, and i just entered the arena and had the shit roundly kicked out of me.....turning to face the enemy that is hacking slices out of you quickly is hard on a laptop:(

D Mac 04-04-2007 05:14 AM

Just beat the Main quest. The final battle scene is fucking awesome. All hail the Champion of Cyrodill.

Mr Regal 04-04-2007 05:23 AM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


I'l be there one day

Won in the arena, because i cant trun as quickly as i would like, i now run backwards and cower behind my sheild.....then let the fucker have it.

I'm starting to pick more quests up now, it's very easy to get lost in...as in where the fuck did the last three hours go.

D Mac 04-04-2007 05:33 AM

I'm on Xbox 360 BTW

Mr Regal 04-04-2007 06:28 AM

I suspect control is a lot more fluid with a pad rather than a fricking keyboard!

I'm pretty used to it tho so:-\

Mr Regal 04-09-2007 07:53 PM

So i have ploughed through quite a few hours now and have done fuck all as far as the main story quests go:lol:

I have rather enjoyed bounding about the country side on my stolen steed and fighting any miscreants i may meet. I like the fact that there are so many dungeons and caves and the like to randomly happen upon and loot.

Frigging loving this game at the moment:y:

Destor 04-09-2007 07:57 PM

This game was great; I beat some time last week. Now that I have beaten God of War II I'm going to go back in and do some random exploring, I still have one mission plus the bulk of the deadric shrines. Not to mention random exploring and three more houses to buy. MORE FUN.

D Mac 04-09-2007 10:56 PM

Yeah I started a new character. When I beat the Main Quest it just didn't feel right because I had used cheats. So I'm going through it without any. I chose all the skills I use the most.

Destor 04-09-2007 11:16 PM

FOR SHAME DIESLE MAC!

D Mac 04-10-2007 04:33 AM

Yeah it makes exploring dungeons worthwile, for loot. With gold cheats dungeons really didn't mean anything.
