#5 I have fairly similar specs to you (maybe slightly better) and I play the game with decent fps at pretty much middle settings. It still looks really good in cities, houses and dungeons, but a little less impressive outside in the forests and fields.

I imagine you'll be able to run it fine - the immenseness of this game lies in far more than its graphics, so buy it anyway and see if you need an upgrade later.

Huh? Thought you just said you had a 6800GT... Obviously you meant thats what you are planning on buying.

I can't really help you though, I'm not good at knowing which nvidia cards are good (having used ATi for years). Go look in the Oblivion system requirements thread and have a look at what people say.

yo nickey i'll help you out man, in the dining hall at the end of the table on the rug on the floor there is paint spilt on the floor, look down at it and press (spacebar) to examine it, this gives you your second clue to the mystery, then after doing this go back to the west tower, in the first room you come in after entering the west tower, there is a semi-hidden sewer ladder looking thing behind a cupboard i think it is, click on that and go down, in this room you will find a painting that gives you the third clue, you can then accuse her to finish the quest, hope this helps out, if you have any questions just reply to me here, and i'll help you out

btw i am addicted too, i beat the game and all its quests with both a melee character and a mage doing all the quests related to my class, now im modding it up, got about 30 mods running now, and it adds a whole lot to the game, the modding community for oblivion is amazing, it will make this game last for a long while for me, and with the silgrad tower modding team, making the whole province of morrowind to explore, and its affiliates doing the same for others, this game is going to live for a long time. just my 2 cents

#14 its the whole Elder scrolls fanbase thats amazing. People are still playing Morrowind thanks to mods. For a single player game its lifespan is incredible.

I actually saw a planned mod where people were mapping areas outside Cyrodiil for Oblivion. I can't find the link though now.

#26 Well just make a new saved game?

I've just like totally managed to resdiscover the whole game. I started a new character and vowed to not use any fast travel. Not only does it make the whole experience more realistic AND make the whole world seem bigger, but it makes you consider other things, like buying a horse (because getting given one takes a long time when you can't fast travel everywhere) and buying clothes (running everywhere in a full set of armour slows you down a LOT). You also discover a lot more ruins and forts, making looting and levelling all that much better. I'm level 12 already and I've not even joined a guild yet, just done small quests around Imp city and done a fair bit of Arena fighting.

I'm also using Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul mod, and I strongly recommend other people use it. It makes a lot of small changes, including level capping the enemies so you no longer bump into daedric wearing level 35 bandits when you yourself reach that level and that you can still bump into the odd low level character (like a rat) when you are much higher level. It also makes some enemies really impressive, meaning you can't neccessarily go everywhere at level 2.

lol also, there was a really weird creature in one of the caves I went in. It's either Greenmead Cave or Greyrock Cave on the road between Imperial City and Skingrad, probably Greenmead... but anyway, at the very end, the last creature in there was a MASSIVE mud crab. It was just called "Mud Crab" and it died in 1 hit like a normal mud crab, but it was about 10ft wide and 6ft tall... Anyway, people should check it out, there was plenty of good loot in that cave. It might have just been the mod's doing.

What are mods? People seem to talk about them a lot but I have no clue what they are. Are mods cheats?

Modifications.

Basically they are alterations to the game to change it in any way, they can be small, like adding a single item, or big, like changing the whole game (ie. Counterstrike is a mod of Half-life).

They CAN be cheats (like adding a free really awesome sword or something) or can just make the game more interesting and enjoyable.

At the end of the day, its a single player game though, so cheating is all well and good.

While trying to enter the dark brotherhood, whenever i try and murder someone while sleeping they wake up before i can kill them. I was thinking maybe it was because i am a low level, but I'm not sure.

Anyone know if it will still work after they wake up?

#30 Just keep attacking them. Make sure you're in stealth mode for the first blow to get a damage magnifier, but other than that, just keep attacking. If they wake up before you kill them then you'll probably get a 40gp bounty on you for assault, but if they make it outside and someone sees you kill them, then it'll be 1000gp. Any which way is a murder though. My personal favourite to murder is the old fisherman in Weye (just over the bridge from the Imperial City main gate). You can do a quest for him, then kill him to steal the rest of his money.

I just make do with 1.2k. Theres plenty of loot out there to get money, so it never really bothers me.

There are mods around though that make the venders have more money to spend.

I'm Expert of light armor, now would it be wise to have Heavy Armor shield while all the rest is light? I have some amazing shields but i dont know if i should use them. Is wearing all light armor giving me some kind of bonus? (I'm novice at heavy armor btw)

and #45, how about post your computer specs instead saying that you comp is pumped... :/ then we might be able to help you

#46 It depends how heavy the shield actually is. Whatever its weight though, you'll be far more encumbered with it than you would be with a light shield and it won't give you as high armour rating as it would if your heavy armour skill was higher. If you're expert in light armour then I expect the good light shields will give just as much armour as a heavy one (until you level your heavy armour of course).
