i mean - those old fables / tales / books and movies of the kind of era that oblivion is set in, always has a huge merry bar kind of like the one in monkey island

I make it to the top of the climb, and stop to admire the view. Nothing but lush green forest stretching for miles below the cliff face. The Imperial City is now much more visible as it glows orange due to the sun now having risen about the snow capped mountains behind me. I turn around to get back on my horse and a few deer skitter out from the overgrown brush to my right, cross the path infront of me and dissapear into a gulley further down the trail.
That pretty much topped as my most beautiful gaming moment ever.

I'm thinking of upgrading the graphics card to a 6800GS. That would make my system this:
AMD Athlon XP 2800+
Corsair TwinX 1024 MB
6800 GS
I'm not really tech savvy enough to change much more than just a graphics card by myself. I was wondering if that system would have all the bells and whistles on with Oblivion and would it be a wise purchase..? Thanks.

my heavy armor skill is like 84, my block is high too. half my gear is like 50% damaged after one tough fight! ONE! after 3 mobs, 2 of my items are usually near 0 (broken). i'm an armorer so repairing on the go isn't hard, but it's fucking annoying stopping after almost every fight to repair.
is my game broken? is that normal? any mods that balance this a bit? i'd like to have to repair once, maybe only twice a dungeon instead of 30.

Shack hype got me and I downloaded on Saturday through D2D. I've been playing this stupid game all weekend. I can't stop. Game of the Year hands down. Is there a "game of the last 2 or 3 years award"?
BTW, this D2D thing seems like the full legit version to me. Nothing weird about it. Downloaded quick (as quick as 4 GB can) and installed much faster than the DVD version would I imagine. Plus I can still burn it to a DVD if I want too.

so far every town looks pretty much the same, and the Imperial city isnt really that big.
i thought Cyrodiil was bigger then Morrowind?
Morrowind has a much better variety of Architectures and way bigger city's.
please tell me im wrong.

So, before I go too far, how bad does it get? Does it ever get to the point where I can't go out in the daytime and/or interact with people, even if I've fed recently?

In other news, I found a vest that gives 15% chameleon all the time, and while it is neat, not knowing if your sword is drawn in the dungeons is starting to affect me more than the poor sod that got stabbed in the back by a mere spellsword. :(
Thread Truncated. Click to see all 4 replies.
For starters, I play a Spellsword - if you have a similar class, or have magic access, this info will pertain to you. Those of you that are melee-only are SOL with the advanced part of my techniques.
For starters, you do simple dungeon runs - this involves clearing a dungeon of all the expensive loot. Simple in concept, simple (but more time-consuming) in execution. Naturally you want to actually kill everything in the dungeon first. While killing stuff, pick up the light loot you can carry, but leave the heavy stuff where it falls (but DO pick it off the body and place it somewhere in the room that you'll easily see on the way through for the loot run).
After the dungeon is clear, take what you can easily carry and return to your house, whereever it is. I highly recommend getting the house in Skingard, as it's right next to many good shops, but it's 25k and thus out of most people's price range at the beginning. Anyhow, once you get in your house, drop all your PERSONAL gear that's heavy. From there, go to a shop (or two, or however many it will take) and sell the loot you got. The more you frequent a particular merchant, the more they'll like you, and the more you'll be able to haggle for good prices. Try to find merchants that have a good cap on their gold - the best I've seen thus far has been 1200 gold, so unless you have Mercantile maxed and invest in a store, you'll only get 1200 gold max per individual item. So, sell of your loot and then fast-travel back to the dungeon.
Once in the dungeon, and divested of most weight, run around and pick up everything you carried, then go back to town, sell it, rinse repeat until it's done. Very simple to do, it just takes time. You'll net a SHITLOAD of money doing this once you're at a level where ebony/glass/etc items are dropping consistantly.
The advanced stage comes into play as a spellcaster. Pick up some lightweight, simple clothes (cap, shoes, pants, gauntlets (mithril, when you can find it), vest, two rings, and an amulet etc), and get a bunch of Grand or Greater soul stones. If you're a member of the Mages guild (which you should be), you'll have access to the enchanting stations. Using these, enchant each piece of clothing/jewelry with Feather. Now, when in a dungeon, you'll be able to don your "Dungeon Run" gear post-battle and have a HUGE amount of carrying capacity. This becomes particularly important when you need to start hauling Ebony and Daedric gear around - that shit weighs a TON. Using the "Dungeon Run" feathered gear, plus a spell to boost your carrying capacity temporarily, you'll be able to get all the loot hauled out in one or two trips max and be able to make TOOOOONS of money very very quickly and very easily.
So... yeah. Just fyi. I wish I'd thought of it sooner myself.

The note says that there's a ring of great power somewhere in the valley in a chest the guy found, and I assume the key is to open it.
However I've been wandering the valley for a long time now and haven't come across anything. Anyone do this?

When I try it says bad CRC. If you could put the extracted files on a webspace that'd be cool.
Guess my older version of Winzip doesn't like this RAR, or something.

Holy shit.
Broke into the captain's room, 6x sneak attacked him, then swashbuckled him to death :O
Just as I was looting the spoils of victory, I hear KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK- "CAPTAIN, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT IN THERE?"
Split the hell out of there. The Black Horse Courier will say he died of a very......stabby heart attack. :D

I got bitten by a vampire and got caught up in so many quests, forgot to go get it healed before sleeping. Bad move. Now I can only go out at night, so now... the lady that can make the cure wants 5xGRAND soul gems. I've only found one. Where the hell do I find these things? I found only one in a very large cave. Being a vampire sucks.
The good thing was, that cave I went into, was LITTERED, I mean fucking COVERED with awesome loot. There were chests, like two or more in each chamber. And I now have a ton of nice rings, a frost axe, a frost mace, and a soul stealing axe. PLUS a leather vest that gives 15% chameleon, and a leather hat that detects life as long as its worn. Plus I got a dwarven shield and chest piece. FTW!
