Oblivion

[TheGreatSatan]

OK I went back to the arena where that leader of the brotherhood was still laying there. I used the console to resurrect him. He stood up, all his clothes reappeared on him, then he became near invisible and walked out of the building. I don't know if he'll just start off where he's supposed to or what.

Jaffre still doesn't see Martin standing right next to me, but that's all so far. I guess the main mission is scrapped for me. I may install the game on another computer so I can play the main mission and not get confused on what saves I have to keep. I completed all the recommendations and am nnow totally in the guild.

I'm a level 17 and just don't want to lose all that work just to play the main mission

Ah, the benefit of having multiple saves. Its like a time machine, so if you screw up you can just go back a little ways and do it again. But if I remember correctly, you said you weren't creating multiple saves, so...

What you could do is start the game over and then manually raise your character's stats and level to what they are now. That way you don't have to regain all of that experience and what-not.

Now, you're probably thinking, well that's fine and all, but I don't want to have to redo all these quests and stuff either! If that's the case, then you can actually complete quests via console commands as well. You can pick what stage in the quest to complete up to as well, if you don't want to complete the entire quest.

As for special items, quest rewards, etc etc, you can also get those through console as well.

That's one option anyways. You can literally do just about anything and everything via console, if you're willing to spend a little bit of time researching and entering codes anyways.

I can definitely look into that. But at least if I do some of the quests again, they'll be a lot easier

That's true. When I first played Oblivion, it took me months to get to level 20. Last time I played, which was just recently, I got to level 40-ish in like what? A month or so? Granted, the first time I played I didn't use console since I didn't know how. But I still stuck to the game without too much help from console this time around too, just to keep it interesting. It gets boring too fast if you use console too much.

However, it is SO nice to know the "kill" and "killall" code when you're in a pinch between a bunch of baddies, have no more potions and are about to die. It has saved me numerous times. I'm too addicted to running into large situations and seeing if I can survive against many foe. ...I usually can't. But its fun anyways. lol

Edit: Hot damn this is one long thread! lol

I always use use god mode in the console, mostly to get over the over-encumbered problem and it get's me to stay healthy. I also use the console to give me all Daedric armor and the bound sword. With all that, I'd easily start over

How?

OK. I restarted the game and followed the main quest. I gave myself all Daedric armor and the bound sword at the start. I used the console to give me $100,000 too. When I got the chance I went to the Arcane city and bought the Lightning Blast from Raminus Polus and went from there. I didn't use the console to boost my stats at all.

I finished the main quest last night. I was sorry to see Martin die, but happy to loot the bodies in Paradise.

I really want to start the game again but with Uni exams just under a month away I'm gonna hold off until my exams end.

Yesterday I completed the Knights of Nine quest, which was way cool. Shivering Isles is still on the horizon.
