The Oblivion Thread vol. II

[Spaced Cowboy]

Son of a....That is f'n funny. The one place I didn't go check out, cuz I'm thinking it's a palace and WhyTF would they put a graveyard there.

Wow, like will I actually have time to do the main quest?

Anyway, is 100 the limit on skills? If not what is? Is there a level limit?

[Quillan]

100 is the limit on natural skills. They can go higher with magical bonuses. A skill will progress beyond its controlling attribute through natural use; I got my Stealth to 100 last night and only have an agility of 80. However, you may not be able to use a trainer to go beyond your attribute.

Oh, btw, the "inside" of Kvatch was probably one of the hardest parts of the game for me so far (I did it at level 5-ish). I think it's supposed to be super-tough, no matter what level you are at.

My first time through I did Kvatch at lvl 4, and it was challenging, but not too bad. Mostly scamps and 1 or 2 clanfears. This time I did it at lvl 5, and was facing swarms of Scamps and Clanfears outside, and multiple Flame Atronachs inside. It took me over an hour of various deaths to finally get through, mostly by running away all the way back and forth to the chapel, hurling spells the whole way. That 1 level certainly made a big difference to the scaler.

The Battle of Kvatch is indeed supposed to be very hard. It took me an hour if not more, at level 5 or 6, especially when those Flame Atronachs appeared - basically, I can't let anyone get close to me or I die in a couple of hits, being a fragile mage.

I did Kvatch at ... 12? Not too bad by that point ... but I could conjure up a Daedroth by that point, so not much was hard if I went that route by then.

Btw, you using the Tahoma font or have your found something you like better? I want to find a better font. The font used is the smaller font, so it works for the expanding of the UI, but I want something with a bit more flourish .

Left the font alone mostly (except to change the "magic effect" font to the #3 tahoma font). Actually there are a few times I'd like a SMALLER font, but otherwise I like the small, quiet Tahoma

What sort of enemies were there at 12?

[snoopy369]

Hmm. I don't remember exactly, but mostly clanfears and flame atronachs I think, and some Dremora of various types. As long as I let my daedroth play with some of them, and let the NPCs die right away, I was fine NPCs of course are dumb as ever, but if SR was surprised by that, he hasn't played enough RPGs ...

I was detemined to access the mage university first and did the fighters guild quests and others I found while touring the towns, so I didn't do kvatch for a long time. I found it very tough at 18 or so because I hadn't focussed on getting any particularly good skills, just letting them all go up naturally. Once I backed off and focussed on training blade, heavy armour, restoration and alteration (plus racticing minor skills to ensure good stat increase opportunities on levelling) the game became a lot easier and engaging multiple daedra was no longer suicidal.

Yeah, I'm trying to get into the Arcane University. Been to the snowy mountain (you know the one... and for what purpose) and am avoiding the main quest for doing Mage Guild quests for recommendations. I'm in Leyawiin now, and just have to do Anvil and then I'm in.

Maybe then I'll try to join the Thieves' Guild.. and I have to find out how to do a Fighter's Guild quest as most Fighters' Guilds have hardly anyone in them aside from a Porter.

Kvatch was easy for my level 2 guy.

Okay I did die a couple of times. And I have the difficulty a little lower than the game default. I was fine as long as I took on only 1 or 2 at a time. Anymore than that, I would try to draw one out with my bow.

[Kassiopeia]

Kvatch was difficult for my level 5 guy. I ended up finishning the castle interior part by pulling everything through the length of the castle to the knight guy who can't die.

[Nikolai]

I'm a level 3 warrior born knight(well, after I get my character to sleep). What would be my best strategy to take out the first gate? I have almost no experience with magics, it's not what I want to focus on.

Well then, go inside and swing your sword madly at everything that moves .
