Then don't respond.

My ass. You die in about 4 hits on hardest difficultly not to mention the enemies all have A unbelievably high amount of HP.

Not everyone has a high HP, there are a lot of people that you can waste with 1-3 good slices.

anybody who doesnt have oblivion i really really really advise you to get it pronto

my ways of killing enemies:

spell1:
weakness to magic 100%
weakness to lightning 100%
each 8 seconds

spell2:
weakness to magic 100%
weakness to lightning 100%
each 6 seconds

spell3:
weakness to magic 100%
weakness to lightning 100%
each 4 seconds

spell4:
lightning damage 10 over 3 seconds

90% of enemies die

if there are enemies with magic shields, get a spell that dispells+silences

2nd way of killing:

enchant weapon with a poision of fire, ice and health damage (google on how to make them)
get behind a hero in invis, duck, strike from the back for the bonus damage
get back invis
let poison do it's work

Wicked, that wont work.

Have any of you used Movetoqt?

oblivion is fun i have like a 1000 mods!!!! yeah i played if for 6 months now.

Well, I haven't exactly read through the entire thread (Yes, there isn't that much. Yes, I am lazy) but I have to say that I rather enjoyed Oblivion despite it's downfalls. It's fun, good graphics, and a decent amount of quests to keep you occupied.

On the idea of the quests though... There just weren't as many as Morrowind. I found that the Guild quests in Morrowind took longer to complete and there was more of them. Although I admit... I loved the Dark brotherhood quests. Something about ruthlessly slaughtering people for riches appeals to me... Anyways, I would have def. liked there be more quests to do in Oblivion.

On the topic of quests still... I would have REALLY enjoyed that being a Vampire in Oblivion meant more than just a little power-boost. Like, oh say, a special set of quests to accomplish like in Morrowind. Instead it's just like "Oh wow... I'm a vampire. Big whoop." BUT, I LOVED the quests for The Shivering Isles. That whole expansion thing was a great idea. And kicking the ass of a giant monster with chainsaw-like arms was totally sweet.

The graphics were awesome. That's pretty much all you can say about that. [I'm running Oblivion on my computer with graphics and all that jazz set to max. So I really like the graphics.] Music was still really good.

Ah, the fabled level system. Can't say I'm a fan of it. I much preferred being able to reach that level where my character is simply a "God". Of course it'd be nice if the game still had those certain enemies that could match you. Like in Morrowind, my character was Godly and all that but I still ahd to be careful around those cursed werewolves.

The main quests is pretty fun, although I liked the total freedom you had in Morrowind. So far it seems like that main plot in Oblivion is linear (I have yet to beat the game, close though. Just haven't had enough time to) whereas in Morrowind I could just get myself Keening, Sunder and Wraithguard (is that the name? I can't even remember anymore) w/o even seeing Caious! And I could go beat up Dagoth Ur as well, and go into Vivec's temple and kill him, take his Wraithguard and I got two! xD

I would've liked if each Oblivion gate sort of had this "mini-boss" you had to beat before you could close the gate. Otherwise I can just run right through without killing and fighting anything.

All in all, I loved the game. It's still hella-fun and addictive (just doesn't keep you addicted as long as Morrowind did). WOOT FOR BETHESDA.

My character is a masta thief. My invisibility spell makes me l33t. Thankfully if I'm ever ina pickle I can just cast that and sneak away/sneak attack that bastards. xD

the oblivion gates are soo easy those fleshy pods give you great stuff occasionally.. it really really GOOD

Weaknesses aren't really that percentage. 100% Isn't a one hit kill, I've tried it.

Should get it for PC because of the mods.

I think I've spent around 250 hours playing this game.

Yeah but unless you have some sword that does like 50 damage per hit it will still take ages as when you got the difficulty bar at the lowest the enemy have extremely low HP and low damage, And at its max extremely high HP and high damage.

Once again, false. I have an Akaviri (I know, sad.) Katana that does 16 damage. Wastes everyone fine.
And no, I do not cheat. My female Breton wears Black robe, and blue suede shoes... No enchants.

Here are some great mods for Oblivion.

OOO-Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul -Can be found at tessource.net

MMM-Martigen's Monster Mod-Awesome mod with tons of new creatures same place as OOO

PJ's Spell Compendium-Another fun mod with tons of spells for basic fucking around (try Catch boulders, where giant builders come from the sky onto a target or spawn giant ogre)

Then any house mod is good, but alagaesia is one of the best

Also, if anyone needs help with anything in the game whatsoever, I can help.

I have. It was awesome, not having to travel all the way there. But don't use the code that completes all quests, it's bad.

kenshi, yer over encumbered by like a couple 1000, you have no cash, and you say that'll work? Nope, no hacks.

I've been playing this far too much lately, I have the demented thought I could complete all the quests.

Every single one that is available to me. I've left the main quest as I've completed it before a few times. It is a god send that Shivering Isles has harder creatures that Cyrodiil. This is with slightly lower difficulty than default though, I don't plan to change it.

This cannot be all there is, I'm doing all the city quests, finished the thieves guild and the arena. That may not sound a lot but I'm doing all the quests that you don't know about unless you look at a walkthrough.

In short, how long would it take to complete all the quests? This includes Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles. No mods, it's a PS3 version. Two scrolls down from default difficulty. Last time I checked I was at 60 hours.

I made a super carry, non cheat.

It is over 80k.

yeah.. so when i first started playing i loved it, but then i realize i chose a horrible character for my class, an imperial night blade, so even as arch mage i couldnt do any spells, i should have been a breton or a dunmer.

I have a fist fighter in Oblivion. The guy looks similar to Chuck Norris, but except he wears Daedric (however you spell it) Armor.

I'll get a pic, but Vicente Valtieri is out in the sun, naked.

Well, you can always start from a distance, then walk backwards, pumping your enemy with arrows.

2) all hints for melee combat vs strong enemies

Depends as to what weapons. Blades: You run up after they slash and fail, the make a good hit, then step back as they hit again. Blunt: Since they are slower, timing is of the essence.

Here is the pic of Valtieri in the sun, naked. (Augh!)

Sneak, Acrobatics, Speed.

Make them stealthy.
Bow and Arrow is not good for melee combat, obviously.
So the bonus power on sneak attacks will help prevent from ending up toe to toe with your enemy.

A high acrobatics skill means you can hop up onto ledges your opponents can't.
Then it's just a matter of picking them off one by one.
...Just watch out for their ranged attacks.

And speed is good for just... well... running away.

2) all hints for melee combat vs strong enemies

Easiest solution for this - stock up on potions.
Fortify skills for a certain amount of time really helps in fighting the tougher kids.

If Alchemy is raised enough - you can create crazy powerful potions and poisons.

Who else has a dark elf character?

Well as for number 1, Acrobatics and Marksman are good for that obviously. Make sure you can cast spells too for close range stuff. And Light Armor as well. Make sure to choose something like a wood elf, they're great for marksman oriented chars. A Nord or Orc are best for smashing your way through your opponents. And High Elves just flatout suck in my opinion.

for number 2, try to have a powerful weapon. If you can't, have a fast weapon and some good armor. Also, use spells to weaken them before going in for the kill.
