Oblivion

Cheers guys I been having a few goes at alchemy, still hit and miss but im getting there an levelled up a few times.

Oh have you guys ever tried any of the Companions mods?

I been browsing Nexus and found a really cool mod that lets you have a wolf as a companion, and being dotty about wolves I am certainly gonna give that 1 a try. lol

haven't tried any companion mods. might have a look at them next time I play through.

don't worry about the results of the alchemy as long as you get a potion to sell until you've improved your alchemy skill a few levels.

I don't know about Oblivion, Ky, but I have to tell you, Morrowind kind of blows, if you'll excuse my language.

I've gotten through the game on just about every race there is. It gets old fast.

Ky, there are loads of mods for Oblivion here as well
nicely categorised with search and filter features

Dammit just bought Knights of the Nine expansion and cos of the mods I have installed im going to have to uninstall everything and then reinstall, thus starting again! :O
Just as I was getting somewhere...

Urlik I know a few command cheats, all the spells, as much money as you like... etc

I havnt used them as I kind of want to play the game properly first but if you want them, let me know lol

[Urlik]

no thanks
I have no will power and if I have them, I'll use them LOL

If short of money, just raid the Fighters and Mages guilds for cash, and raid a few dungeons.

Never buy any general equipment, weapons, or armour, though - plenty of loot to be found in the dungeons.

After you finish the main quest line or any time really you should download a mod called The Lost Spires. The Lost Spires - Home this is a mod created by a community member and it is fully voice acted and is as good as anything from the developer, Bethesda. Also another really great mod is the Sentient Weapon. The Sentient Weapon 1.0 Download, The Elder Scrolls 4 Modifications this mod gets you a talking sword with up to three personalities in the weapon and from time to time they will switch personalities. Also each personality in the sword has a personal quest that you can get and that will give the sword more powers.

There are also a ton of mods that add things like lights in the windows of all cities and things like cloaks, capes, gloves and other clothing items. Clothing in Oblivion can be enchanted and can then be used as armor. For instance if you wait until you are level 17 you start to get the most powerful Sigil Stones when you close an Oblivion gate, the Trancendent ones. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Sigil_Stone Also if you save just before your PC grabs the Sigil Stone and then you don't get the stone you want you can reload grab it again and get a different result. Stones like Frost Shield, Shock Shield, etc actually add amor points to the clothing so it is possible with a full set of clothing to have the max armor with just clothing, making it so you don't get over weight. Also if you go just outside of the Imperial City you will find a merchant who sells things a Thief would want, and his name is Shady Sam. What I do is I go and kill Shady Sam and take his clothing and enchant it because he has an all black outfit. You can find Shady Sam here: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Shady_Sam

Enjoy!

Aww I only have Oblivion for Xbox 360 and no internet connection at our new house so I can't get any of these fancy downloads But I have the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansions and I never get sick of this game, whenever it gets tedious I restart and start over.
Specially the Shivering Isles quests keep me amused for hours... But maybe I'm just easily amused?

Even on the xbox you should still be able to do the clothing enchant thing. You can of course use any clothing but I find if you want to play a thief that black really suits the character.

When closing Oblivion gates for the purpose of just getting stones all you do is avoid the gates that are just outside of the cities as these gates all advance the main questline. Instead just go out and search the country side for random Oblivion gates and close those instead and that way you can get your stones for enchanting purposes and not end the main questline in that process.
