i am

race:dark elf
birthsign:steed
class:battlemage

i found this to be an amazing mix
the dark elf is pretty much resistant to fire which helps out a whole lot while destrying oblivion gates

the steed gives you 20+ speed points, so running away from guards when u steal something is easy

the battlemage i guess helps with sword and magic

ould any1 with experice reccomend a good character to be, I like to use magic but im not sure what to be
I'm at the end of the sewers and I have a chance to revise my character

download the PDF for the Strategy Guide. It's a *must-have* for Oblivion.

I'm guessing that would be illegal? I paid 20 dollars for the real guide from ebgames so i have a nice thick book i can look at without having to alt-tab

I bought the one for morrowind as well. it's all worn out and the cover is almost torn completely off heh

my friend's morrowind map is about to fall apart, he has the oblivion guide as well, thats a nice thing to have

[ripken204]

well i am now guildmaster of the theives guild! but one of the quests involved me killing someone in the mages guild, and to get back in i need 20 vampire dust and 20 daedra hearts...

Heh have fun collecting those I'm Listener in the dark brotherhood now and all i can say is wow to how it all happened. Most unexpected events and that was just gross what the black hand did to Lucien. I'd give more info but i dont want to spoil it for people who havent done it yet.

I'm on Level 1 in the Imperial City as an Imperial. I wait until it's dark and everyone's asleep, lockpick all the best shops and steal Steel <insert weapon/object here> that would normally cost me a LOT of money. Anyone see that chest in the Arena that has "very hard" on it? I contains 500 gold and I didn't find that out by reading the PDF.

[ripken204]

i saw that chest and picked it very easily, my lockpick skill is over 30

and the good part about the theives guild is that u can sell stolen items to special merchants called "fances"

so ill make my rounds at night and sell 1000$ worth of stolen goods to a fence

[Jeremy]

I stole Steel Boots, Armor, Helmet, Battle Axe and Shield, but when I equip the shield, I don't hold it and it doesn't appear. Do I need to be at a certain level or skill to be able to have it? Any ideas?
Edit - Nevermind, just had to equip a one-handed weapon.

I've heard of the Fighter's Guild and the Thieves Guild, but how do you actually get to join either? I'm on level 2 and I have like 350 or so Gold and have Legion Armor, the same armor the guards wear. I'm currently swimming around killing Slaughterfish and collecting the scales for some old fisherman dude. Just outside the Imperial City.

[ripken204]

there is an actuall building for both in ever town, just go to it and ask

[jago_lfn]

I finished the main quest..... awesome battle at the end... now it seems so empty.... need expansions.... now!

[Maleko]

Im in the fighters guild atm.

There are guild buildings in every town, for Mages and Fighters.

If you want to join the thieves you have to find that, as there a "secret" organisation.
You will have to bribe some beggers in order to find it.

Sorry if thats given it away to anyone!

I just got sent to jail and after i got out a dunmer woman gave me a note with the info. Thats how i got in. Guess there are different ways.

[ripken204]

both of these ways will work, but since i have alot of stolen items i dont want to go to jail. bribe a begger in the imperial city to the max u can, then ask about the gray fox.

It's people like you who ruin the game for yourself. You just jump right in, do the Main Quest and go back to a FPS to headshot people and scream "PWNED!"
This is the kind of game that is meant to be played slowly and patiently, absorb everything, take in the scenery, develop your character, buy a house, make thousands, get some wicked weaponry and armor... geez..

[ripken204]

ive been completing quests for different guild, i am on the dark brotherhood right now
