I mean the longsword looks longer, wider and more "I will bludgeon you to death even if I'm blunt."

The claymore has a longer reach and does more damage.

Yep, love the longer reach and more damage, but compared to all the other claymores, this one doesn't "look" as powerful in terms of size. Although it does look evil...

OMG, level 30 and you finally decided to go to Kvatch...have fun after you close that first gate because its gonna be a b1tch!!!! The game's level scaling is gonna make you want to turn down the difficulty for this part, took me a very long time to get past this part at level 17 with agility at 100 and marksman at 75 or so and blade around 65. I managed to keep the difficulty bar a bit above medium.

Lots of people at the elder scrolls forum has b1tched about this particular part since they leveled up so much before doing the first parts of the main quest, which was reason why I decided to get it over with as soon as possible. Good Luck!! You can Deewwwwit!!!!

hehehe I finished kvatch at lvl 5 and closed 2 extra oblivion gates (with no potions!)

It's true thought about the suckiness of the difficulty (especially being a teeny lvl 10-15). I

Isn't the game based on what level you are, and shapes the world's characters accordingly?

Yep and like Tig Ol Bitties said, it REALLY works again people who like to take their time. I finally got around to do a thieves guild quest that I had been putting off. My friend did it earlier in his game and he just fought Imps and small creatures. When I got there, I had to fight HUGE magical things that shot lightening and wore heavy armor. One of the enemies could kill me in three hits.

By the end of the dungeon, I was out of enchantments and almost out of arrows. I basically just healed and protected myself with a bunch of potions, made a run for the goal, grabbed what I need, jumped down 3 stories, and ran out the front door with around a ton of magical summon creatures chasing after me. Luckily, since I'm a thief character, I'm able to run quickly and jump fairly long distances.

Hi all
I just got this game, and have invested a lot of time in a character. However, when I am supposed to raid the city (to rescue the emoror's son) with the 3 other soldiers, two of them turn on me and attack. I assume this was from the beginning of the game when I stole a horse, however, there were no soldier attacks until now. I tried the "pay bounty" cheat, and everything I can think of, but can't get past the level without them attacking me. I don't want to have to go back to the beginning. And this may not be the problem. :-(

Any ideas?

i am really taking my time [Level 11 - well over 100 hours and less than halfway, i guess] . . . part of my strategy is to enter an Oblivion Gate and clean it out easily - AFTER i get the message to rest and Level Up [but before actually levelling]. Closed 14 gates - easily.

i am having a real hoot creating magic weapons and armour . . . the hard part is deciding which ones to use and which ones to leave at home.

:thumbsup:

back to Oblivion . . . C-ya!

EDIT: TheNiceGuy, i replied in your soon-to-be-locked thread.

Do you still have a bounty on you? You can check in the past page/tab of your character stats.

I'm level 21 and I still haven't delivered the amulet to Jauffre. I might just turn down the difficulty a notch.

Quick question, I was in a dungeon and was fighting off somethine like a mummy, not sure what is name was. I didn't see any messages or signs that I had gotten a disease or anything, but after that fight my carry capacity went fron 170 down to 150. How can i fix this? Is there somewhere I can look to see if I caught a disease or something? I leveled up shortly after that fight, so I have slept and rested since then, but the carry capacity remains low.

The enemy might have drained your strength or some other attribute. Go into your stats menu (bring up the menu and click on your health/magicka/fatigue bars) and see if any of your stats are red. Also, you can click on your magic menu and go to the last tab to see if you have any ailments or diseases.

If it's a disease, just go to a potion shop and get Cure Disease potion. If your attributes were lowered, find a potion that restores that particular attribute.

 

[coolred]

Thanks, will check it out.


Magic menu last tab does say drained strength and drained endurance, also resist disease, I think cause I am a wood elf.

Looking at my stats, strength endurance and willpower are all in the red. So I need potions that restore thsoe attributes, thanks

 

[coolred]

I am not sure I am getting the right potion, I saw one for restore strength and restore endurance. But I took them and they didn't do anything, and I didn't see any for willpower.


Uh now i feel kinda stupid, under the magic last tab it says disease wither, so i am guessing I got a disease, so I probablly need cure disease then.


Yeah cure disease got my strength back up, but it still shows drain strength and endurance in my list.

 

[imported_Imp]

Well, I hope the other side of the gate isn't a leper colony. Just cleared out an undead dungeon which was pretty cool, goblin and undead war going on. Goblins may aswell have just bent over for them. Hope my weapons don't degrade too fast, went through all my hammers, a fewsets of armour and started scavenging weapons to wail on the undead. Is that the future? Hate undead. On the otherhand, humanoid dungeons take too long. Have to make loot runs back and forth to the main entrance; I can't pass up all the glass, going to have to start letting mithril rot.

 

[Mem]

Yeah cure disease got my strength back up, but it still shows drain strength and endurance in my list.

Go to a church and pray at an altar,should cure it.

Yesterday I decided to see how hard it would be to take out cheydinhall. I was rather dissapointed how easily I killed every single guard that came at me.
I just conjured up a clannfear and used my enchanted battle axe...no cheating. Eventually guards stopped comming and I dug into the towns folk.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Question - does any of the obliviongates have more than one "gatestone" well I don't know what they're outright called - but the stoness required to close the gates?

My lvl. 30 character is having a bitch of a time in one, and I finally got to it - but it won't let me teleport out - what gives (I'm assuming that it's a technical glitch if it's not an actual problem)?

 

[everman]

I can't say for sure, but there should only be one sigil stone per gate from what I understand. there can be multiple towers though, only one of which will have a sigil stone.

 

[apoppin]

How many Gates are there?

I cleared out 17, so far. :Q


one of them took 5 minutes [in "my" real-time] . . . i jumped a lava lake and headed up the tower . . . mostly one-hit kills with my new self-enchanted long sword




and ONE Sigil Stone per tower [that's what keeps the gates open] . . . they sure make some nice weapons [i am saving most of 'em for later]

Not sure how many gates there are, but at the elder scroll forums, some guy cleared out like 55 of em and there were still a few more or something. This guy probably doesnt remember what the sun looks like outside seeing that he was like level 57 or so and had pretty much done EVERYTHING in the game...:roll:

 

[apoppin]

i guess they are more-or-less unlimited

i am also doing EVERYTHING

:roll:

~120 hours - so far [level 11]

 

[Tig Ol Bitties]

Well, 120 aint so bad...this guy had like 250+ hours and I read this like 1 week ago

True, the multi towers can be a downer though, more time consuming..unless you just run to get the stone only lol

OMG you all need to watch this....hilarious...just click on the "Adoring Fan Goes Bowling" link. You can read about it here after watching it. Dunno if this is regarded as a spoiler, but the adoring fan comes around after you become arena grand champ, not that big of a deal, but he is annoying. Sorry if this off topic, but this oblivion thread gets hit a lot soooo enjoy.
