To post a screenshot or two.

Caldera at night

Don't forget to put DIGITAL VIBRANCE TO HIGH in your driver setup, even these screenshots will look twice as good when you have it set up on HIGH. (nvidia drives that is, most likely other cards have a comparative feature)

Thanks for the 'Digital Vibrance' tip - works well...

Digital Vibrance? Where can I find digital vibrance? I was aware of no such feature of my nvidia drivers. Thanks in advance!

Btw, there are unlimited levels, as far as I know. I've seen some people on the Morrowind Summitt forums up to level 74 or 75.

Unlimited levels do you ever run out of quests?

and digital vibrance is enabled in the color section (under color tab) on your driver properties, I have a slider, like 4 or 5 settings.

And it is possible that this feature is not enabled in all driver but it is in last ones 30.20 - that you can get of their site.

If not use a utility, I have Riva Tuner. You can find various utilites including that one here www.nvnews.net, a small download.

Utilities are on right hand side of the screen. The game comes alive with this turned on. I keep it on highest level. I am sure this is how the game was meant to be seen.

I thought that you stopped levelling up when you maxed out your stats. (This does take awhile, though...)

[Jon Miller]

I thought that you were suppose to go up levels when you trained, but I am not

also, does anyone know how to go up levels in mercantile and speechcraft easily?

I got up a level in those once a bluemoon (well, I have gone up a level in both and now, nomatter how often I buya nd sell stuff, my mercantile score does not rise)

I thought you increased levels in training too? Maybe you need just more level increases if you're training in minor or misc skills?

Increasing Speechcraft is much easier if its a major skill - talk to NPC's you won't be bartering/training with (ie: It won't affect you too much if they don't like you) and admire/taunt - but not so much that your approval rating goes too low - otherwise you'll have to bribe to get it up again.
You'll get a lot of failures but everytime you succeed your speechcraft increases. Eventually you'll start gaining levels.
Merchantile - Again a big plus if its a major skill - Reduce your purchase price and increase your selling price when bartering with merchants (the +/- icons). If they refuse your offer your approval rating drops a little temporarily, but again, with every success, your mercantile level increases.

[loinburger]

You only go up levels from training your major and minor skills.

The easiest way to go up levels in speechcraft is to find somebody who likes you and Admire them repeatedly. Every time you're successful your speechcraft skill will go up, and you'll fail often enough that you'll be able to keep Admiring somebody indefinitely (until your speechcraft gets in the 50's or 60's, at which point you'll Admire people and they'll hit 100 disposition in no time). I haven't found an easy way to go up in mercantile, so I just train the skill up.

[Jon Miller]

they are both major skills so I figured it would be easy (both at 41 and I have trained neither)

I didn't realise I could + or - (I awlays have been taking what they offfered, makes me wonder how I got up that one level of mercantile)

I thought you could now gain leels from oyur Misc skills (with the new patch)

Jon Miller

[Scouse Gits]

As far as I can gather - levels gained in Misc skills effect the multipliers available when you eventually level up - the levelling itself is only achieved by ten advances in Major and minor skills - I recently 'tested' this as my intelligence was quite low 30 ish and I needed 40 to advance in the Blades - so I concentrated my training on skills dependent upon Intelligence and lo and behold once i levelled up I got a x5 multiplier on intel - Happy Bunny

Digital Vibrance

For me:

Display Properties | Settings | Advanced | Colour Correction and it's a slider near the top of the page ...

OK then ... i gave in and have gone and bought this game.

I've been interested in it for a while and since you guys love it so much (and since I now have access to a PC good enough to run it at a decent speed) I bought it.

I won't get a chance to play until Sunday because I'm busy, though, so ....

What advice would you give me for playing (other than the latest patch, exe-crack and video settings)?

What are the things you've most enjoyed about your character or playing experience that I should try?
What are the annoying things that I should try to avoid?

Thanks in advance for you responses.

The cheapest, and easiest way to increase your speech craft is to practice on a slave you free. It doesn't matter what they think of you.

The cheapest way to level up your armour is to find a rat, and let it keep hitting you, they don't do much damage, but your armour level goes way up.

Whats the max stat? is it 100? I'm getting close to it with my strength, so I guess I'll find out.
