Custom Class: Fill your Class Skills with Combat Skills: Destruction, Blade/Blunt/H2H, Marksman, Armorer, Heavy/Light Armor - all other skills can be raised anywhere by repetition (make sure you get a low level spell affecting Self from each school other than Destruction - and Heal only works if you're damaged - I used Protect, Bound Dagger, Detect Life, Starlight/NightEye, Fortify Fatigue(STR would be better))....
Then, your Level Ups will be entirely dependent on Combat XPs, which should keep you more in line with the higher level challenges when you hit them.
If you just make sure to "practice" while wandering thru town/wilderness you can pretty much just "play your game" otherwise....

I just beat main and arena quests! This game is very fun, and I thought I'd point out some of the things that made it less frustrating for me all the way through w/o changing difficulty:

dark elf born under the sign of the lord with "uber heal," (negates the fire weakness) got a good goblin staff near skingrad early which helped with shocking hard dudes (damn cannifears), used heavy armor, bunny hopping all over with great speed and jump gained for fleeing oblivion mobs, then finally the Azura's Star with umbra sword helped me at the end along with a few staffs I found.

This kvatch level is a bitch. I'm only at level 12, but these bad guys slaughter my fellow guards instantly, and then I'm literally surrounded by six to nine bad people at once. It's impossible. And I've only made it to like the third confrontation in this sequence. This is after closing the oblivion gate, btw.

I'm a kind hearted battle mage, always giving everyone a second chance, but I just couldn't bear hackdirt's attitude anymore, so I slaughtered everyone in the city at the meeting. Shame on them for trying to sacrafice someone to the others. I tried to spare the life of the guy who gave me the hackdirt key, but he was so annoying, following me everywhere, and telling me I was stealing stuff, so down he went, with the rest of them.

Wow, the first 3 quests of the Dark Brotherhood are better than the entire Thieves Guild quest line. I cant wait to see what the future holds for me down this dark path.

Kvaatch Rules.

Readme.txt at either link or in reply

Well the keyring/keychain mod has finally been made: http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=3409

I haven't used it yet but looks like it works.

Does anyone know any good enchanting resources? I just got into the arcane university and I wanted to make a set of resist magic armor. I have a resist magic spell, glass armor, and some filled grand soul gems, but it didn't give me the option of adding the resist magic effect to my armor. Can I just not get that effect or am I doing something wrong?

It's dead, Jim.

Guess it's time to start posting stuff in the regular chatties.

can anybody tell me where i can get a black soul gem from

Basil Poledouris (Conan/Starship Troopers) Playlist for Oblivion (in reply)

I'm stuck on the quest "Garridens tears".

I've killed the frost monster, found 4 of the tears, but it just says to find one more. I've searched everywhere I can in that stupid glade...

Anyone else have this? Is there a tear in a tricky spot I'm not seeing?

Stupid easter weekend, haven't had time to play.

I'm debating on whether or not to do Kvvatch or whatever its called.
I'm having fun exploring caves and stealing from everyone.

Does finishing the Kvaatch quest give good rewards or should I keep on in the Theives guild stuff.

Oh yeah, because I really need to raise my fame. :(

What happens when you buy multiple horses? IE. What happens when you fast travel? Only one horse goes with you but where are other stored? I'm losing track of my horses.

D`oh! Summon Skeleton, Soul Trap it, whack it a coupla times, petty soul.

I know this has already been tried before but I have to say this....

You know you've been playing too much Oblivion when you go past a flower store that has some out on display and think to yourself, "I will click on them for Alchemy" then catch yourself...

Or...

Walking along the sidewalk and see a purple triangle marking on the pacement left by the city to indicate water or some other utility and thing, "Hmmm a quest marker into the sewers..."

Ok back to Oblivion....

If a point of interest shows up on my map after I hear about it in conversation or read about it in a book, but it's not actually part of a quest, is it worth checking out?

There's a marker called Malada way the hell off in the middle of nowhere, and I don't have any quests that refer to it or put a destination marker on it. I'm wondering if I should go explore it for treasure and loot, or wait until a quest takes me there for a good reason.

Anyone know of a mod that makes skills over 100 do anything? Like I can take my Blade from 98 to 122 and get no extra damage on my sword.

I've looked at the mod sites I know and through the construction set, didn't see any mods like this or way to do it. Maybe it's just not possible. Kind of sucks.

For awhile (especially after I got Umbra) I was thinking that Oblivion was suffering from the same problem Morrowind had where after awhile it just got too easy. I was running at around default difficulty so I turned it up to about 60% (wish the difficulty slider had numbers) and now it's quite a bit tougher. I actually have to use poisons and heal in fights again. Once I get more reflect damage/spell gear it'll probably be too easy again, though. They should have put a cap on how much reflect damage/spell you can get.

ok guys lets start talkin more about oblivion dont give up on me yet!!!!!!!!!

The Sirens Deception quest bug?

OK once you talk to the wife to start the quest then talk to the husband you find out you have to go into the Flowing Bowl for more info but when I go in there some 'Homewrecker' lady just finds me and starts wailing on me. Now shes not hard but if I kill her the quest says somehting like "Although killing her solves the problem there might have been a easier way without death" or something like that. Any reason why this keeps happening?

Heard in Chorrol:
"Lots of dogs in this town...Lots of sheep, too...Course, I prefer the taste of sheep."
"That's good to know."

So I'm zipping through the Arena (up to Warrior atm) and I have the icon to level up. From what I'm reading here enemies level up with you..so the question is do I sleep and level or just keep going at level 4?

ok people heres the deal i need to get my fame up can u people tell me who i could get some good quests from

Very early Theives guild question: I got my first quest from Grey Fox where i have to go to the blind monk's moth temple and get that stone thing. Problem is I did that a LOONNNG time ago when i stumbled upon that place. I can't remember but I think I took that stone and sold it away to Norbet who of course doesn't have it anymore. But I remember this big floating stone in the dungeon there that shot at me and stuff that I couldn't take...was that it? Probably not...

anyway, what do you do when you pre-empted a quest and have no idea where the necessary item ended up?

I loved the whole haunted house story in Anvil...

Being in the basement with all those ghosts everywhere then hearing that voice when you touched the altar scared the shit out of me.

Man what a rush...

The whole Kvatch quest was a major pain in the ass. Holy shit. Level 20 and I feel weaker then a kitten. Then you have what, 6 or 8 friggin monsters chasing you down. What a bunch of shit. I had to use the difficulty slider for the first time in the game. I mean come on what the shit is that. How am I going to have any chance against mobs like that at level 20... A big WHAT IN THE FUCK? were they thinking when it came to balancing in this game...UGH!

I feel dirty for having had to use the slider...

Already put this in latestchatty but eh, whatever:

I just utterly dominated the arena with my level 22 sneaky archer guy. Do people usually find the arena difficult at high levels, like say compared to some of the main quest missions? My marksman, sneak, and illusion are all either in the 90s or over 100, and for just about everybody I didn't even have to move. I could usually drop them with 2-5 shots from the corner I started in. I'd get myself up to 85% chameleon and just hide. Even when my bow was out of enchantments it just took a few extra shots.

Even after finishing everything and fighting the three minotaur lords I had no problem. Those guys flushed me out of hiding but I just ran away and shot them and dropped 'em. But bonus for me since they're monsters they recharge my bow unlike the other humanoid combatants!

On a side note, I finished the main quest line before doing this. Fun. But it played a FMV cinematic at the end and damn do the graphical settings in the cutscenes look like shit! =)

you know what people i hope they do the next elder scrolls like they did the morrowwind. let u use the data from the old game and put it on the new one.

What's the difference between resisting an element (resist fire, resist frost, resist shock) and the shield of that element (fire shield, shock shield, frost shield)?

Is it like D&D rules, where a fire shield inflicts fire damage on anyone who melees you? Or is it like a shield potion that adds to your armor, in addition to resisting spells of that element?

Little 'trick' (kind of cheesy maybe) you can do when doing the persuasion mini game. Have your sword drawn when you do the persuasion, get them to max, then sheath your sword and talk to them. Their disposition will be 10 higher you could have gotten without the trick.

Meh. I don't use it very often.

So Ive had Oblivion for a week or two, and went to the mall with my 11 year old nephew, and we stopped off at EB. I showed him the game, and the guy there started talking about it with us.

After a few minutes of trading stories, the guy asks me what version of the game I have. I told him I have the pc version and bought it at EB. He then goes behind the desk and tears a slip of paper off a little pad and hands it to me.

I look at it and its a coupon for a free horse armor download for buyers of the pc version.

Turns out not all EB employees are morons.

After seeing this: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=11973176 and some of the other replies in the thread I figured we could use a little talk about sigil stones.

http://oblivion.gamewikis.org/wiki/Sigil_Stone

As the wiki says, sigil stones are found in Oblivion gates. They are used for enchanting items and have two possible effects. One (I think it's the top one) goes on a weapon and the other goes on armor. For example you might get one that says something like '20 Fire Damage on Target/20 Fire Resist'. So if you put it on a weapon you'd get a 20 Fire Damage enchant, if you put it on armor/jewelry you'd get 20 Fire Resist.

To use the sigil stone just click on it. It'll bring up a menu where you choose what item to enchant. If you need/want a magical weapon and have a sigil stone with nice damage on it then choose your weapon. Remember though that weapons use charges so you'll need to recharge it either at Mage Guilds or with soul stones. If you need/want something on your armor then choose an armor piece. Also remember that you need to be Journeyman armorer to repair magic items.

My favorite sigil stone has to be Shield. Enchanting a piece of armor with 20% Shield basically gives it 20 more AC. Remember that the cap is 85 though.

Hope this helps some of you that have been carrying around sigil stones without knowing how to use them.

Where is this Umbra Quest? I am level 20 and want to try and get me a new sword...
