Oblivion

ive taken it upon myself to kill people who insult me or my species, its kinda fun (too bad you cant kill important people)
so my low leveled characters achievements are:
arena grand champion
dark brotherhood listener
master alchemist
knight of the white stallion (dont ask)
somewhere in the thieves guild
a few others i cant think of

edit: thanks for clarifying the cameleon thing (i had a feeling they stacked since i could stand infront of people and not be noticed) but the problem now is finding a pair of cameleon greaves, boots and a helm. currently i have a spys curiass and the hands of midnight (20% cameleon, 30 sun damage and +10 hand to hand skill, not too bad especially for my level)
also if anyone wants a tip on how to quickly raise alchemy just fast travel to all the farms you have found and make a load of restore fatigue potions (can get quite alot of money too)

Yep, restore fatigue pots is the easiest way to quickly raise alchemy and get a little cash. Unfortunatley, we both put alchemy as a main skill. This can lead to some inflated levels, and I would recommend anyone starting or who has just begun to not do so.

A caution shovah, about the chamelon thing. It makes you totally invisible, and since its a equipment buff, its constant. You will be able to basically do anything you want and the NPCs won't be able to see or target you. Sorta like god mode, except with the NPCs yelling for you to come out. Some people dig it, but the majority of the people said it sucked out any kind of challenge.

About the AI - I have seen some pretty cool things, and the fact that its not scripted...we are moving in the right direction. Its not perfect, but its a window at whats to come. I don't understand why there is so much negativity towards Oblivion. Reminds me of PS2 fanboys on a Xbox forum.

dont worry, my short attention span means my chances of finding a full suit are next to nothing

You don't find it, you have it made for you.

Graeme, I dont think that you should accuse someone with piracy. For example my friend also tried the game using my copy, and my brother also, and they both decided that they dont want to buy the game, since they disliked it.

But the EULA for Oblivion says that no one else is allowed to play your version of the game. Didn't you read it all before clicking "I accept" while installing??? For that matter, you aren't allowed to let people watch you play, because Oblivion's near-cinematic experience is a Single Player game! If someone else wants to see it, they have to buy a ticket! You sir are a pirate!

That crazy Van-Gogh looking guy... always forgetting to start his tongue-in-cheek tags correctly. On the matter of EULAs, you should try buying a new version of Space Empires IV from Strategy First. You get one install, and then you're done! Unless you want to send about half a dozen emails over a week to convince them that you really deleted the copy from your old computer, you better like the hard drive to which you install.

Lets see if we can get this thread longer than the wishlist! Come on guys, you aren't really trying!

Nope tbh I didnt read it. Are you serious that someone is not allowed to try out the game using my original disc? This is just making no sense. That person wont copy it or anything, just taking a look at the game, it is acting like a demo or something..wow if this is true, this is pretty dumb I must say.
