Just watched the kickstart of this game, looks good, pity its probably way to heavy to run on my pc <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I'll just play another map of Galactic Civilizations 2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

How is the full version of GCII? I tried out the demo...it seemed ok.

And on that note:











Enjoy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />

Azura!!!!!!


Totally right, you would win the first price if i had one.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> Not too late to come up with one! Send me 500€ and we'll call it quits <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

i can't find bAllowScreenShot=0 so i just pasted it equal 1
do you know where it is exactly located next to?

Just open "Oblivion_default" with notepad and use edit -> search to locate what you need.

its kinda weird, i finished the main quest and everything bored me. so i started over (again), but it wasn't intresting anymore!

After 1 1/2 years of playing nothing but WoW I bought Oblivion and I am really enjoying it. I have a number of questions. I just saved Kvatch. No spoilers please if possible in your replies.

I'm playing an Argonian. To fight I use summon skeleton--conjuration, a one handed sword with shield--blade and heavy armor and restore health.

1. When I level up I always pump only strength, endurance and intelligence. Is that wise?

2. I have read somewhere that when you level up, all the NPCs in the game scale up too. Does that mean that there is really no reason to level?

3. I had a message appear on screen that due to the amount of increased skill I have achieved in conjuration, I can now summon other entities besides a skeleton. How do I do that?

4. Summon skeleton is The Bomb! Very powerful and useful! Some elf race has the ability to call creatures to its aid. If you play that race and also take conjuration can you have 2 summoned creatures at a time fighting for you?

5. How do I recharge a magical weapon?

6. Can I fast travel between my location in the wilderness and the Imperial city and then back in order to sell off my inventory?

7. Is there a remedy for crashing to the desktop when I go through a door? This happens occasionally.

8. For such excellent graphics you would think they would have done a better job with the jumping animation.

7. How can I view my character from all angles?

8. 1H vs. 2H sword?

9. Is there any mod that you really like and why?


Thanks.

Wikipedia for Oblivion!

It might answer some of your questions (1H swords vs 2H swords is one it will probablly answer).

Übereil

Looking at your skills I should say yeah, sure. But don't forget that willpower is important too for restoration and conjuration.


A little bit yes. I don't really like the scaling part.


Buy (and thus learn) spells that summon other creatures. Check the Mages Guilds.


I'm not really sure. You can't summon two of the same kind, but I've never really experimented with conjuration.


Either you can pay for the recharge in Mages Guilds, use Varla stones (found in elven ruins), or use filled soul gems.


Yes, once a place is discovered you can fast travel back and forth as much as you like.


I don't know much about the technical aspects. Sorry. You could check the official forum. (You have to register to be able to use the search function though.)


Hehe. Use first person so you don't have to see it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


Press and keep holding the 'Z' key (if that's the key you use to change from 1st to 3rd person) to see and be able to rotate around your character. Also, in your inventory screen, you can press and hold your character with the mouse button and zoom him/her and turn the character around.


Two handed: more damage, but block is less good (no shield). Because blocking is something you actively do in Oblivion (as opposed to Morrowind) I think this is a great skill, which is why I prefer one handed blades in this game.


The official plugins look great, but you have to pay for them.

Hope this helps <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

about summoning creatures: i had like 10 conjuration spells, but only one creature can be summoned at the time. if you summon a skeleton, and thereafter you summon an atronarch the skeleton disapears. thats really dumb IMHO, cause like now i can't make monsterarmies anymore <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" /> (it would be very usefull in the arena)

I don't know or you can have a summon and a creature summonend by a racial power at the same time. but i guess it will be the same as with normal summons.

EDIT: can't you also view your char by holding the scroll button on the mouse and then move the mouse?

Perhaps, I don't know.

How did they do that?like the pearl and stuff?

It must have taken many many nerd hours to get it right...

Very nice website


Thanks everyone for your responses.

Is there a way to heal an NPC?

What does "on touch" mean? I have a resto spell that heals 5 points on touch. I have tried using it during or before combat, and it doesn't seem to do anything.

i tested the bosmer/woodelf and he can't summon a creature, but he has the command creature abilitie.

'on touch' means you need to touch the target. so if you use your 'on touch' healing spell, you stand next to the npc you want to heal and you cast the spell. your hand should 'touch' the target. you also got destruction spells on touch. like when fighting an enemy with a melee-weapon, on touch is best to use.(ranged spells use more magicka then touch spells).

EDIT: in the start of the game (prison till you first need to fight some rats) the game runs kinda slow (no matter what settings) and the spoken things are not following each other (like the other prisoner says something and a minute later he says something else, instead of saying it normally) and the first words of each sentence doesn't gets spoken. did somebody else encountered this too?

EDIT2:

Just re-read this, and i got a geforce fx (5700) and the game runs fine, so i i would have like a geforce 6100 it would even look better?
