Oblivion

So I made a new character because I got tired of being slow and sneaky.

He's a bash-stuff-guy. I played through the coliseum until I got to the spellsword and got pwned, so I decided to go off and do other stuff to level up a bit.

Random 'dungeons' are fun. I got a pwn-ass ice-sword that I plan on using in the arena. I got trapped on the 3rd level of some broken-down castle thingy and had to reload from a previous save.

Oh, and I'm a vampire now. KERPWN!

Though it's not as kerpwn as it should be... All I get is hunter's sight and cool eyes. (And apparantly, I can bite people's necks too somehow.) I'm gonna jump on the mod, when somebody makes it, that makes vampires more realistic. Like in Morrowind, there was a mod that I used that gave vampires a boost in str and dex, gave them a levitate ability, and made them take damage in the sunlight.

From what I understand vampires become more powerfull as each day passes up to 4 days after. Then they get invisibility and some other stuff.

They also get a boost in some stats/skills +5 and each night without feeding results in a more vampiric look and another +5 in those stats/skills. But there's also a weakness to fire and the sun damage increasing each night you dont feed. However If you keep feeding every night you will not get these effects (but you do get the invisibility and charm etc.). Feeding is done by biting someone who is asleep in their bed.

Thats what I read before oblivion came out from the official guide, I dont know if anything has been changed because I havent been a vampire yet, but I dont think so?

Ya I figured that out yesterday. It's not per day, though.... Or at least there's some sort of anti-sleep,sleep,sleep coding, because I can't enter a dungeon and sleep right to vamp lvl 4.

Um, in Morrowind, vampires naturally got stat boosts and took damage in sunlight, though no levitate. Of course, it seems that levitation is banned in the world of Oblivion...

WW, do you have any spells that boost speed or jumping significantly? I designed a few spells, one of which would give you 100 acrobatics for a few seconds, but it didn't really take me that much higher than usual when jumping, as my acrobatics are currently 76. I believe they cap at 100 even with spells.

Was there a delay in it, or was it minimal? Because I never noticed any sunlight damage in Mwind. *shrug*

As for the str and dex boost, lawl at me. I didn't even notice the 5 boost you get when you become a vampire in Bloodmoon, and I did it 2 days ago.

Sunlight damage in Morrowind was up to 5dps, depending on the weather. If it was overcast or ash storming, you'd take closer to 1dps; you should have noticed it, because there was that annoying red effect arround the screen IIRC. The str boost was like 30, though it depends on which clan you join.

Hm.. I'm a Mage Guild member in the Dark Brotherhood! A not so pleasant combination.

By the way, AA and HDR don't work together. Neither do AA and Bloom, but they don't tell you that. Try disabling AA with bloom and you'll be able to see the sun, but some things will appear more jaggedy (like the water). I really don't want to disable bloom but I don't like the jagged look. Oh well.

Btw, check this out

then type setfog 1000 80000

well mess around with the numbers for a bit. Try and fog the game up if your GFX card is old and maybe that'll help, or you can follow an ini tweak guide to see what'll work.

Well I certainly notice the sun damage in Oblivion. At vamp-stage 4, it totally kerpwns me.

Argh, I just wish I could see the sun in Oblivion.

With Anti-Aliasing on with Bloom, the sun is blurred out basically. I'm not sure if this is the same way with HDR, though.


The Radiant AI is awesome, IMO. What do you all think about the level scaling? I think it's alright.

I think fuck you guys for having video cards that can run the game.

One annoying problem with the AI is where it ends a conversation just to start it up again.

The level scaling sucks. Level grinding should help you overcome obstacles; when it doesn't, you get stuck.
