I'm sort of stuck in the main quest. In the old emperors tomb where you have to kill the ancient blades, I've done all of that but still nothing. I go to the tomb and I can't get through. Hmmm.
I borrowed my friends copy of GTA IV but it keeps crashing on me. So disappointing. I'm stuck playing Oblivion I guess. not so bad really, since I've never actually beat the game. lol (It took me years to beat morrowind just simply because I get distracted too easily. lol)
The ancient blades quest? Isn't that the one where you are in the underground tomb with those platforms and you have that weird arrow? I know that one took me a little fiddling to do. You had to stand on the activation pad and shoot something with this special arrow.
Hmmm, maybe I skipped that part. or maybe I haven't gotten to it yet. I never met the ghost who tells you to kill the ancient blades dudes, but I got quest updates whenever I did so I just rolled with it. Maybe thats what went wrong. idk. but that portal thing that hurts you wont let me through. probaby what i need the arrow for... maybe I'll just cheat and get the arrow that way lol
As much as I have played this game I still can not create armor. Did I miss something somewhere?
I'm pretty sure you have to be in the Shivering Isles, that's all I know lol.
Yup, only on Shivering Isles, and even then you don't really make it yourself, you just give materials and money to an NPC, come back in a few days, and they give you the armor.
I should finally be getting my GOTY copy back this Sunday :D and the news gets even better, as of this Friday I am on my 2 week mid Semester break :D, let the games begin lol.
Oh snap! Welcome back to the dark side young one.
Yep, I can't wait to get back into it.
I'm getting really annoyed.
I closed the Oblivion gate and then was transported back to the front lines where the guard captain: Savlian Matius was.
I've read a few walkthroughs and they all say that The guard captain will go with you back in the church where Brother Martin is. Then everyone is supposed to leave together out the locked door in the church, but they don't. I spoke to the captain and he acts like the gate is still open. One of his guards recognizes that it is closed and so do all of the people in the town of Kvatch.
Brother Martin is acknowleding that he's ready to go to Weynon Priary and does follow me. When we get to the priory no one there recognizes that brother Martin is standing right next to me.
So it seems like somehow I've got to get the guard captain to recognize that the Oblivion gate threat is over. Any ideas?
You can try using a console code to complete the current quest or current quest stage.
Did you speak to everyone in the church? Its been a while since I did that quest. If you have and went and found the guy dead in the castle then you might have to use the console.
Also go through your quest log and make sure there aren't any unfinished related quests or something. That's happened to be plenty of times, where I think it's a glitch or a mess-up in the game but really I'm just missing something.
This, I think. I seem to remember having to tell the head priest that the gate was closed.Quote:

Heheh, good game. I know the feeling...I made the mistake of finally getting Fallout 3 to run (reasonably) stably on my computer this weekend....I didn't get anything done this weekend...guess why. :PQuote:

OK. I found the journal in my menu that tells all the things I've done and it says I already took back the castle. It also says that Savlian Matius was killed in the battle, even though he is clearly still standing out there.
I think I'm a Ghost Whisperer and he doesn't know he's dead
Another thing. I won all the matches at the arena and became champ. My current quest sill shows me doing weekly matches at the arena against animals. I can't tell how long this will go on for. Can I quit a quest somehow?
The arena matches where you kill animals never end. Its a easy way to make some $$$. Buying houses gets expensive. Have you been given the kavatch curious?
That's odd...he's definitely supposed to be dead...Quote:

I delete as I go
Can I buy and sell stuff? I've never seen any kind of icon/option for it
Hahaha, yeah. Certain merchants will only buy and sell certain things, but yeah, pretty much anything you find can be sold. You can even sell stolen stuff if you join the Thieves' Guild and get a fence. As for houses, there's one house in each city that you can buy, but sometimes it requires...a bit of work. In each city, ask around for rumors and you'll find someone trying to sell a house.
Yea get off the main quest and start doing the side stuff. The game is much more fun with the side quest
Playing only the main quest in Oblivion is like taking interstate 95 up through Maine: sure, it's not bad on its own, but you'll have a lot more fun, though it'll take longer, if you drive up Route 1 and the roads that parallel it along the ocean and through the various fishing villages. You'd miss out on so much if you ignored the side quests, it'd hardly be worth it.
As far as selling things, just walk into a building with a sign out front in any town; if there's someone behind a counter, have a chat and click the middle icon at the bottom (I honestly can't remember what it looks like, you can hit me if you like!). Shops have cheesy storelike names, sometimes related to their specialisation: Fire and Steel is a blacksmith's shop, Colovian Traders is a general store, and others such as Renoit's Books should be obvious. General traders will buy anything; blacksmiths will buy weapons and armour; magic shops will buy books, alchemical apparatus and ingredients, and soul gems; innkeepers will buy food and booze, and everyone will purchase clutter (such as plates/utensils, pelts, and the like; much of this is worthless). Without mods, the only people who will acknowledge stolen items are Thieves Guild fences.
Details on getting the best deal can be found here; the maximum amount shopkeepers will pay for your wares depends on their disposition toward you and both of your respective Mercantile skills.
On a related note, I found that once I got well into the Fighter's Guild stuff, the best deal on repairs was from the various Fighter's Guild porters. You know, that annoying guy that follows you around the building to keep you from steeling stuff? :P
I put that guy to sleep then stole the stuff anyway lol. A tip for you all. When you are doing the Thieves guild quests and need to sell gear to the fences the easiest way to do it is to just go to the fighters or mages guild (if you are a member) and take the stuff off desks and shelves, cos you are a member they don't care lol.
Where will other Oblivion gates open up at? I want to go to them before they appear on my map
They're usually all over the place. Just go wandering around in the wilderness and odds are you'll find one.
There is one not far outside the walls of chaydenahll, one in the mountians between chaydenhall and bruma, one close to layawin etc. Look back a few pages. I posted a map that list everything.
I think the ones that are just outside cities only appear once you get to that point in the quest. But there are definitely quite a few out randomly in the wilderness.
I found that "Strange Door". How do I get in?
The "Strange Door" is actually an entire island; it's the entrance to the Shivering Isles. If you don't have that expansion pack, the 'door' you found is just a nearby (south of there) trapdoor exit from a quest I've long since forgotten. Pretty sure there's a giant slaughterfish and some steel armour on the other side.
I just looked it up and it goes here, as part of this Thieves Guild quest.
Yup, there's a giant slaughterfish in there :D Stupid thing was pretty tough to kill too. If you kill it right under the hole into the lower cave it'll float up through the upper cave and you can see it's size in relation to you...thing if freakin HUGE. Assuming the a dark elf is about 5'6", the giant slaughterfish would be about 15' long, iirc.
noticed newegg has the collectors edition for 10 bucks. might just have to pick this game up! :D
I got the Game of the year edition from Walmart. It's supposed to have the original and two expansions. There must be a mission where it becomes available for me to enter.
I was in the fighters guild and meant to click the spacebar and instead clicked my mouse and slashed another member. Then they all attacked me and I killed one of them. Now I have to find someone before I can get back in.
lol. That's where the auto-save when you enter the building becomes quite useful :P
On the plus side, next time you sleep you'll get a...friendly visitor.. :twisted:
I have the same edition TGS. You have shivering isles. Just talk to the guard and enter like you would any door / gate. Shivering isles is pretty fun. The cool visitor you will get when you sleep opens up some of the most fun quest on the game IMO.
That was awhile ago and and I later got a visitor who gave me a note to meet the Gray Fox in some garden by the waterfront, but there are no gardens over there??
I just had a great mission where I went to find a necklace for a princess and fought ogres and skeletons. When it was over, I spoke with a ghost general and he gave me access to the room where it was hidden
hmmm, somebody actually got a Thieves Guild invite the other way? Wow! But no, I was talking about the other visitor. You know, the one in the long black robe? That came the first time you slept after killing someone you weren't supposed to?
Oh, he came to the arena and talked to me.
I killed him too.
