Didn't realize I had to sleep to level up. Sat at level 1 forever until I went to Oblivion and felt really underpowered

I found a glitch that let me level lockpicking to 100. Finally found a bed. I leveled 13 times. I didn't realize the lockpicking would play into overall leveling

Be careful with overleveling from something like that. Monsters may get too tough.

Gonna build a wall around Cyrodiil.

They did not change the leveling where unique weapons are tied to the level you are at which you find them. So if there is one you really want to use for a particular build, you will gimp yourself if you find it too early. There are already mods to allow the weapons to level up as you do.

Not a problem when you solve all your problems with your fists

If you aren't heading straight to the arena after leaving the sewers and grabbing the bands of kwang lao, why even play the game?

The question is, is he gonna make the Argonians pay for it?

Did you put all of your skill points in Mercantile?

Installed this last night. Good lord, the randomized character appearances are hilariously ugly. In ~10 random button presses I got a guy with a dent in one side of his face, a guy whose eyes were so close together they were nearly touching, several whose heads were perfect spheres (looked like a jack-o-lantern nightmare), and then a mix of people who were completely ****ed for a variety of reasons.

Anyway, Looks like a perfect remaster. Excited to play more.

Don't try to make any alchemy with cheese or onions - it crashes the game (seriously)


This was patched I think. Alchemy is now safe with all foodstuffs.

Yes, exactly this! My wife was trying to work off her laptop while sitting next to me on the couch, but she couldn't stop laughing while I was hammering the "randomize appearance" button. Every one is a circus freak.

Man... this playthrough is turning brutal. I forgot how absolutely ****ty Oblivion's difficulty scaling is. If I leave it on adept, everything's too easy. If I just go up to Expert, then everything becomes a bullet sponge and I do no damage. I'm level 12, have my Agility at 100 already, my marksman skill at 65, and my alchemy around 40.

With those stats and using drain health poisons on my bow, I hit a wall with an Adept sorcerer. He just heals through my poisons and blasts me for 1/3 my HP per shock hit. The only way to kill him would be to cheese him.

Gonna have to go look for a difficulty rework mod.

Kind of makes me want to find a mod that randomizes the appearance of every NPC in the game. Go through the game like it's a funhouse hall of mirrors.

Finally downloaded the game and added a couple of mods from NexusMod to force level unique gear that is tied to your level when you acquire it. Also found one that smooths the difficulty sliders so you can bump up the difficulty without creating damage sponges.

Dupe Glitch is alive and well. Maxed out Mercantile by selling like 3000 health potions in the Imperial city. Currently carrying around like 150,000 gold.

Played on expert until level 8 or 9 but eventually just running into things I could not kill like trolls.

It's wild how adept feels like nothing in comparison.

Look up the reverse weight glitch (or whatever it is called) where you will never have to worry about carrying too much weight again.

This game brought back so many nostalgic memories, and looks so much better than it did back then! I'm having a blast playing it. I haven't played a single player game like this in almost 15 years.

Latest Nvidia driver update seems to have made the game unstable, at least for me. I can't load into the overworld.

I haven't purchased Oblivion yet, however, I did fire up Skyrim again. Think I'm close to 300 hours in that game and still haven't finished it (keep getting bogged down on side quests)

Man I love Skyrim. I just want to be able to play it again with mods and it just won't stop crashing so it's pointless.

I would've preferred Morrowind, but I'll take Oblivion.
The reviews I read for that one were kind of mixed

That's something I should play at some point though. Still have the physical copies of the entire series that my brother bought years ago.

Morrowind is definitely a less polished game than Oblivion or certainly Skyrim, but it both trusts and challenges the player more than either of those two titles. It also represents the first modern Bethesda RPG with a bespoke world, rather than the procedurally generated Daggerfall or Arena.

Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in this doomed world you have created.

You can actually drink up to 22 skooma at once in the remaster. Hilarity ensues.

Welp, got a Fatal Error crash, lost all saves. Uninstalled and reinstalled, managed to download save data from cloud. Get back into game for a few minutes and Fatal Error crash again, all saves gone. Guess my run is done.

I finished the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild and was working on finishing the main quest. Bummer.

Damn, I'm kinda glad I've had no time to play. Hopefully the UESP folks do their magic

Friendly reminder to make a backup copy of save files outside of Bethesda folders occasionally.
