The Chinese write their names backwards, beggining with the family name, not the Japonese. Romanians also sometimes say their names backwards, especially in formal situations. Informally however, they use the regular naming system. My name for example, Mihai Ionita, would become Ionita Mihai in a very formal situation, at school for example.
Regarding OOO, once you can run Oblivion you absolutely must get OOO, it's the best mod out there. Also, for a more comprehensive list of mods that make Oblivion much more interesting, check out this link. It also mentions wheter the respective mods conflict with OOO or not.

Well, the wolves in packs are what you need to be extra wary of, lone wolves mostly scavenge or feed upon wounded or ill animals. The packs go after big game (caribou, buffalo, and moose) and lone wolves if I'm not mistaken.
While being called one isn't a bad thing to us, a lone wolf isn't any tougher than a member of a pack, less so, I suppose, seeing as they'd have a tougher time getting food and having to avoid packs. Lones probably don't live a long or reasonably pleasant life.

If it wasn't for the robe, I'm afraid I wouldn't recognize him. This new Al looks great though. The green spots are quite prominent. I do miss the big nasty horn on his nose though.
Oh, and if that's an ebony shortsword, I think Bethesda made the handle a bit too big. Seriously, you could wield that thing with two hands.
canis216
Dec 28 2007, 11:56 PM
I miss the horn, too. And I agree about the shortsword. That said, it's an excellent weapon.
I'm most disappointed in the new look of the daedric dagger, though. The old serrated blade was so cool, and now it's just wavy. I'll try to post a picture of that.
Edit:

Hmm, yeah. Kills-You-Dead looks a whole lot less threatening like this. It's a real shame.
I always loved the Daedric dagger myself. If shortblades was my thing instead of longblades, I'd wield one of those and never look back. Seriously, that thing looked like a claw born and bred to rip out hearts in the most gruesome fashion imaginable.

Sorry, I just thought of Luper when you said Akatosh. I should get some pictures of him, someday...maybe.
The moon with nighteye suddenly looks a whole lot more earthlike, doesn't it? Normally they're rather reddish, I think.
And either security is indeed crap, you're using 100% Chameleon or you're just plain too good. Let's go with good. Some self-flattery never hurt anyone.....if properly limited.
PS: I hope you don't use 100% Chameleon gear. No consequences really takes the fun out of playing for me.
Edit: Ok, security is crappy in a way. The guy doesn't notice all the stuff you threw away as 'not valuable enough to be worth stealing'.

What actually happened with that bottom picture is that I saw a handbill for the store boasting of its security, so I broke in at night and opened up all the "hard" and "very hard" locks, pickpocketed the store owner (as he slept) for the key to the locks that couldn't be picked, and then tossed some stuff around. Didn't actually steal anything (aside from the key, I suppose--still have that) but just wanted to prove a point. Boasting about the quality of your security--not a good way to deter break-ins.
But yeah, it was more or less all skill. The "Skeleton Key" helped, but the sneaking was all natural. Such is the way of the Thieves Guild's new leader.

Is Al a stealth-based character? If so, how exactly do you go about playing one of these buggers? I've recently started play with a Breton stealthy guy which has Sneak, Marksman, Light Armour, Blade, Illusion, Alteration and one other thing as major skills. He's currently level 2 but what's annoying me is that he's weak as hell in most situations and it gets pretty annoying when you fight something stronger than a rat or a random goblin.
How exactly do you play a Stealth guy so you actually have fun? I mean, arrows are pretty erratic and there are some cases when you don't even get the chance to use stealth. Like for example when you have to face an NPC in a quest and he has to talk to you before you can properly kill him. The only thing you can do is pepper the honoured user with arrows but I hate the way you kill something with arrows in Oblivion (i.e. run backwards while making a pin-cushion out of your enemy). What exactly should I do so as to get satisfaction from my character.

Heh, what a coincidence for this thread to get back to life. I've just gotten Daggerfall to work perfectly. I even got the offer of following a tutorial. I accepted, but it was a bit wonky. I was already bashing in a thief while the tutorial uberexcited told me to ready a weapon and take on that rat behind the secret door! I was all like: ,,Rat? You mean the one I whacked like....four rooms ago?"(Well, I had to sacrifice sounds and movies, but I think I can rectify that with a simple copy and paste job)
For stealth characters, I don't have much advice. But this is Oblivion, right? If so, poison would probably be your friend. But then again, that takes preparation time. If you're not willing to do that, you're in bad luck. Enchantments could help, but I don't consider a glowing dagger stealthy.
Anyway, since Daggerfall works now including quests and factions, I've made myself a new character to celebrate. I'm roleplaying this one. Basically, I wanted a character that could integrate in multiple societies easily and rip off people with a smooth tongue. So I went with Khajiit, which are surprisingly human here. If it wasn't for the tail, you couldn't tell. Add a robe, and you absolutely can't tell. I also picked female, cause I'm a guy and females work better at the charming thing IMHO.
Personality-wise, she is addicted to power. All kinds of spells are her thing. (Mage guild, watch out!) I'm also aiming for vampire here. From what I've read, Daggerfallian vampires are somewhat worse than Cyrodiilic in the sun department but much better than Morrowind's. Oh and get this, I've read that they've got an
imunity to iron and steel weapons. Guess what the guards use?
One last oddity, I don't use weapons. If you're going to fight, keep it personal. Besides, she may be the most humanoid Khajiit I've ever seen, I bet she still has some sharp little claws. (Although, I stick to kicks so it doesn't really matter.)
Oh, and some pics I suppose.

Please, don't ask. I was surprised at the lack of proper coverage myself.

Most characters end up having a good shirt, rather than this breezy affair. At least I found some boots already.
And one easy dungeon later. (Ok, not so easy. I had to zap all the humanoids and run away from the skeleton.)

One robe and a full helmet. Don't ask me why I'm using a shield though. It just boosts the armour rating. Although, it would be cool if I could bash with it. (those little fists just don't have the same kind of impact as a huge sheet of steel.)

Yeah, Al is definitely a stealth-based character. He's probably a bad example of how to play one though, because I basically created the Oblivion version of Al using the console, so he's a fully formed badass with great weaponry, including a "legendary" (I've wriiten a Morrowind-style skill book about this thing) daedric dagger called Kills-You-Dead, which absorbs 30 points of health with each strike. Like I said, fully formed badass.
But really, to survive and fun as a sneak you've just got to practice your sneak a lot, mind where your enemies are (detect life spells are nice--Al doesn't use them but my other sneaks sure do), get yourself a decent melee weapon, and maybe work on this alchemy skills to help you survive. Be a thief--make some money. Adjust your difficulty level so your weak Breton can survive and have a little more stealth success. You can always turn up the difficulty later. And definitely give your character a personality. One of the reasons Al is so fun is because he's got an attitude. He a badass killer, cocky as hell, who takes pride in a job well done. Set little challenges for yourself. Al is very precise, for example. If he kills somebody with an arrow to the arm instead of a nice shot to heart or the head, he gets angry at himself. That's part of the fun.
Agent Griff
Jan 21 2008, 09:04 PM
Well, that might be it. I don't really have a lot of poisons in my inventory. I don't really have the ingredients to brew them myself and I can't really find a shop from where to buy them either. This is also my first stealthy character so I guess that also counts for something since, up until this Breton, I've only been used with swashbuckling combat guys like Redguards, Imperials or Orcs. To be honest I think I'll erase this Breton guy, brandish him as a failure and start anew with something more down my alley, like a spellsword!
But then again I'd be terribly disappointed at the fact that I kind of missed out on the Thieves Guild quests. I know I can be the head of all the guilds with a single character, no matter what class he is, but it just feels like cheating to me if you play Thieves Guild quests with a Battlemage character. I tried it and I know how awful it feels. Well, this Breton guy isn't exactly your average thief. He's more of a hunter type of character, someone who wanders the wilds, looking for unnatural fiends to slay. I guess that's where the name of his class originates from (fiend slayer). When he's in a town he has a penchant for breaking into places and robbing them blind. Let's just say he's the curious type.
I guess I should try to make him more buff so he can outlast his enemies in melee, like my usual characters do. I'll also build up a proper inventory of poisons fit for a proper thief (and assassin, and hunter and monster slayer). That's what makes my stealth Breton so awkward. He isn't really a thief but he ain't a straightforward hunter guy either. He's more of an odd mix.
EDIT: Thanks for the advice Canis, it's really appreciated, coming from someone more used to stealth guys. No offense Jack

Jan 21 2008, 09:12 PM
If you want to make some poisons, start by picking up some nightshade. It grows all over. Clouded funnel cap, whisp stalk cap... in Blackwood you can find stinkhorn and elf cup. All of those damage health, I think, or damage some attribute. Yeah, poison your blade, poison your arrows... And as you are a hunter, if you get your alchemy skill up enough you'll find that venison also damages health. Yeah, it restores health and damages health. Figure that one out.
Agent Griff
Jan 21 2008, 09:26 PM
Great, the only problem would be the fact that I don't have alchemy as a major skill. Oh well, if Damage Health is the first attribute of said plant then there shouldn't be any problems. Thanks for the advice, I'll look for the Nightshade.
And, as I said before, my character isn't really a hunter. He is more of a stealthy guy who likes to clear out caves full of monsters and other unnatural creatures like vampires or ghosts and has a penchant for stealing things so he can get by while he's in a city (have enough money to sleep under a roof etc.). This guy basically has some pretty big cash flow issues.
All in all, I'd say he's pretty interesting to roleplay. I mean, you just have to reach his mindset. Kill some creature, sell what you skin off it, get on with your life another day. When money's just running low, find a shop or some wealthy guy's house and rob it blind then fence the stolen goods (that's where Thieves Guild membership comes in).

Jan 21 2008, 10:13 PM
Your alchemy will increase pretty fast.--getting it above 25 will cover most of what you want. Try to harvest every ingredient that you can and make a potion. It does not matter if the potion is useful to you or not; you can sell the undesirables (it's an easy way to make some scratch) and get some experience that will be valuable in the long run.

Jan 23 2008, 11:05 AM
My Breton stealth guy is now dead. I've replaced him with a Bosmer ranger dude which is somewhat more fit for combat than the Breton. I based his class on the already existing "Archer" class, with a few nips and tucks here and there to suit my needs.
And you proposed imposing challenges Canis. I did just that. I started the game in Anvil (I have a mod which starts you out on a ship instead of the IC dungeons) and, the moment I stepped off the boat, I went on a trip, from Anvil to Chorrol. Pretty simple huh? A trip between these two cities with no stops in between. Well, the only snag was that I made this trip by going through the wilderness. To give you an image of my course, I left Anvil and headed NW, along the Gold Coast until I reached the River Brena which is part of the border between Cyrodiil and Hammerfell. The River Brena is basically one big gorge so I went along its bank. After getting attacked by two bandits and their dog, I continued my journey through County Kvatch. I could see the ruined city in the distance yet my target was Chorrol not Kvatch.
I soon arrived in the broken foot-hills most call the Colovian Highlands. It truly is a barren wasteland, save the occasional bandit camp or abandoned mine. In the Colovian Highlands I had an untimely run-in with a minotaur which chased me almost all the way to Chorrol. He lost interesting eventually and left me alone. After being attacked by a wolf I soon found myself near the place where the Black Road, which led to Chorrol, started. I was atop the ridge of the hill, trying to look in the distance yet fog blocked my view of the land. After a few moments of trying to look around and see where I was in relation to the Black Road, I heard battle music. I drew my blade and looked around, but saw nothing. After a few more moments I was still tense, looking to see what was attacking me, hoping the Minotaur had not caught up. In the end I found out what was stalking me and it was not a Minotaur. No, not a Minotaur, merely a bloodthirsty Troll. After seeing the beast I resumed running towards Chorrol. After a short sprint the Troll lost interest and left me to my own affairs. Safe from the Troll, I could see the road. There were two bandits there however, a Redguard and a Khajiit. Sneaking up on them, I shot a spell from the ridge of the hill I was descending. They were alerted to my presence when I shot the spell however and the Redguard came after me. He couldn't climb the hill though so I was safe and able to bombard him with fireballs (I didn't have a bow so I had to rely on the basic Destruction spell every player has).
After a minute of firing spells at him however I soon felt a Silence spell hit me. I turned around to see who had cast the spell, expecting to see that the other bandit had circled around me yet I saw a Mystical Imp (the worst kind of Imp there is). Sensing that I was involved in a hopeless battle, I quickly ran, passing by the bandits and finally reaching the road. Once there, I started following the road to Chorrol. As I ran to Chorrol I gathered a few more followers (namely a pack of wolves) yet in the end I managed to kill both bandits and one of the wolves. The other wolves I managed to scare off after swinging my sword at one of them.
With that great ordeal done, I finally reached Chorrol. You can't imagine how glad I was to finally see those great big walls looming from between the trees. How's that for a challenge at Level 1?

Hm, nice mods you have there Chiglet. I dabble in mods myself but I keep it limited to things that affect the gameplay and the game-world (items, landscape etc.) so I don't really use mods which tinker with the appearance of NPCs. Still, judging by the look of the guy in the last picture (he's a vampire right?) it seems one of these mods would be worthwhile, if just to escape the bland appearance of all Oblivion NPCs.

Oh man, should have given my advice, I play a Breton Male 'pure' assassin in OB, and a Breton female custom nightblade, closer to morrowinds version, which was far more accurate to the true nature of the nightblade, the OB's.
But with assassins, the secret of thier success, is definitely alchemy. There are potions, that you could make with shield spells, as combat is usually unavoidable. Always snipe your target, with poison, when possible. And if you don't mind cheesing, when outnumbered, dissapear with Chameleon/Invisibility potions. Though that can get the gameplay too easy after a while, my suggestion is this:
North of Skingrad, there is a dungeon called "Goblin Jims Cave", now a bit NW of there, there is a doomstone called the Jone Stone. With a mere ten points of fame you can gain the power called 'Jones Shadow'
Invisibility for 120 seconds, Fortify sneak, athletics, acrobatics 30 points for 120 seconds on self. Once a day. Plus its a nicer spell then the 60 sec you get from a shadow birthsign, or you could get both. Whatever.
Its a great way for last minute escapes that still keeps you on the edge of your seat, and its long enough for whatever is chasing you to give up.
"But I dont want to just go there immedeatley after I get ten points of fame. I'm a roleplayer, what's my motivation?"
No problem, theres a guy in the Fighters Guild in Skingrad who will mark the dungeon location on your map, when you ask about Goblin hunting, even my assassin is in the Fighters Guild. He needs a way to cover up his income from the Thieves Guild.
A few other stealth points:
Try to stay in dark locations when sniping, its possible, if your sneak is high enough, that you wont be detected at all!
When attacking in rooms with multiple opponents, sneak attack with bows WILL alert others in the room to your presence, sneak attack with blade will NOT.
Related to above, you will get 6x damage with blade, 3x with bow, and 4x with fist, with the critical strike, calculate accordingly.
Acrobatics at level 50 will give you the 'Dodge'ability, much more useful then a shield if you have no block skill. Takes some practice, but it's actually pretty cool. Besides stealth characters are supposed to fight dirty, no?
And above all else, enjoy yourself. Stealth folks take there time, and look for the advantage in a fight. In the words of Jack Sparrow, sorry CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow.

Here's my current character, the Bosmer ranger I've been speaking of. He isn't exactly a classical fighter character yet he isn't a thief either. He is a hybrid of sorts. He is excellent with bows and sneaking but he is also skilled with a blade at the same time. He also prefers light armour and has a knack for alchemy (as you said Canis, the Alchemy skill is improved in no time, I'm currently close to Expert Rank). I can tell you for example that, at medium levels of alchemy you will find that you can concoct a Restore Health potion from Fly Amanita and Lavender Sprig, these being common ingredients and easy to find. Damage Health poisons can be made from a multitude of ingredients including Nightshade, Saint Jahn's Wort, Dragon's Tongue, Wisp Stalk caps, Stinkhorn etc.
There are a plethora of ingredients out there just waiting for someone to pick them up and use them. I'd gladly post some pictures of my character but it seems Imageshack is out of order. Does anyone know another free site for image hosting?

One thing I do miss though, are the black eyes. Man, Bosmer rock with those. Is the option of completely black eyes still available?
Agent Griff
Feb 17 2008, 07:40 PM
No, actually it wasn't. I'm glad you like it though. When I make a face I usually modify the starter face in order to get something to my liking. The faces of Bosmer in Oblivion are too stubby for my liking and it makes them look fat if you ask me. Thus, I modified my character's face to make it a little more gaunt, so as to fit in with the body.
And regarding the eyes, no. You don't have any options for black eyes. You can only choose between brown, blue and green eyes when it comes to most races. When it comes to Dunmer or Argonians, you only have one set of eyes which cant's be changed, eyes which are specific for the race.

Here's a couple of more pics of Valanor. This time, with the added benefit of a texture mod that changes the faces of all Oblivion NPCs, player character included. I think that my next character will either be the classic Arthago, which I've always wanted to play effectively in Oblivion. I've made an Arthago character before, but I only got to level 6 with him then gave up on the character. Now however, with the Improved Facial Textures mod, I can make Arthago look just like I imagine him to be. With the horse armour plugin from Bethesda, I can also make him have a stallion fit for a knight. The only thing left to do would be to get a mod that adds a castle from the internet. Then, I can have the ideal knight character. Well, Arthago isn't a regular knight but roleplaying him would be fun as hell. Anyway, the pictures!

@ Agent Griff - Really nice looking character you;ve got there. Which texture mod did you use for him?
I use a ton of mods (mostly clothing and new buildings/places), but have little knowledge of how to use the CS and none yet on using nifskope, blender, or any of the paint programs. The male in those pics IS a vampire, yes. The facial textures are a custom job specifically for that character however, and aren't available for download. The mods I use for Aubret are:
cosmetic compilation,
Kikai's Playable Dremora, and Exnem. I also tweaked her stats a bit in the CS (she is part Daedra) The outfits she's wearing come from: Seductive Dark Seducer Armor (both non-nude and nude available within the mod - read the readme!!),
Apachii Goddess Store, Little Lace Dress for Exnems (nude and non-nude stuff in here too, so use caution), and
Growlfs Xmas Bunny 2007. As for the male, I know the body is Robert's bulky. Both outfits he's wearing are from
Slofs Male Clothing.
The black Bosmer eyes are actually available. If not in the vanilla game (though I thought they were), mods such as cosmetic compilation should have many of the eyes and features you might find fun to play with

I've not put links to mods containing nudity that I know of, but if anyone wants the links, please feel free to pm me if you can't find them and want them

As for alchemy and armor, I find alchemy the fastest and easiest to reach a master's level on, with any type of character. Loads of ingredients at the farms, and once you've joined either the mage's or fighter's guild, there's ingredients aplenty. As for armor, on my first time through Oblivion, my favorite armor was a set of chameleon spelled glass armor. all total, the chameleon was around 150%, with no cheating involved in it's making.

Boy was I able to wreak some havoc with that armor.

Feb 25 2008, 08:54 AM
IFT-Improved Facial Textures. All it really does is make the faces much more detailed by increasing the resolution of the textures. That way, old people no longer have those blocky wrinkles. The wrinkles are now much more seamless and realistic. The same goes for younger characters, their faces are no longer that...similar to a doll. It's a great mod. The Orcs look much better with it as well, not just all the other races.
And you seem to have answered Jack's prayers. Bosmer with black eyes. Who would have believed it?

It's not available in Vanilla Oblivion so you'll have to get that mod Jack.
On another note, I've found a pretty interesting which deals entirely with house mods, from castles to floating estates. It's of high quality and I've downloaded some mods from there, which I am thoroughly pleased with. Here's a link:

Definitely a lot of nice stuff on that real estate site as well

Much thanks for the info and the links.
@ Daedroth - Both your characters look like you spent some time in generating them. It is more difficult to take screenshots using a camera, but the more you do it the easier it gets, and the better your screenshots get.

What lovely characters you have Agent Griff and Chiglet, although it's very easy to see the mods on your, Chiglet

Quick update; My mother has Oblivion installed on her computer now (finally after two years of having it) and I should be able to take screenshots on my character there, what button do you use to take screenshots in Oblivion?

Daedroth - It is the printscreen button found to the right of your F-keys

For complete information on how to set up and take screenshots in Oblivion, check through the
screenshooter's guide.

Yes, I've tried the print screen button but it didn't work.. I guess it was that I didn't enable screenshots. I will post pictures at my character on the PC as soon as I can!

You did a very nice job on Dath's face, Daedroth. I'm looking forward to seeing more pics from you

BTW, if you want to get rid of the menus at the bottom, simply go into the console (the ~ key) type TM and hit ~ again to take you out of the console. Reprat when you are finished with the screenshooting though as you won't be able to get into your inventory while menues are off

Though it does give a very interestint and nice background colour, and you can do a double shot of your character.
I'm just barely starting to get my game back in action (hoefully no more error messages) so no new shots from me. Got a few older ones though

A bit of fun in the console with resizing

I win!!

Thanks and sorry for the double post. I haven't tried that command yet but I will do it and I will probably post more pictures soon.

I like Dath's face. He looks so...calm.Oh, and is that Ebony? Black and gold, I bet it is.
Chiglet, I won't press upon you my opinions of the fairy. (Ok, so I will. Looking nice, but not a mod I'd ever try. The Khajiit looks weird though. Those butterfly wings don't go well with the fur if you ask me. IU love the use of a shovel though.)
I have but two questions.
1: Can you fly with those wings?
2: Is the game still playable if you're that small, or does it cause all kinds of probelems with furniture and stuff?

Hey Jack! Thanks for the fast commentary

The Kajiit fairy actually isn't a mod at all, but just some toying i did in the CS and console. I added wings (which unfortunately got rid of the tail), and made the size about 1/2 that of normal. In game, I simply shrunk her to a much smaller size. It's been about 2 months since I've serioulsy done anything with the game so exact commands I'd have to look up again. I might have used a different wing, but as there's no real description other than fairywings1, fairywings2 etc, I just grabbed and stuck 'em on.

Had problems with the fur from day 1 on her. In fact, it looks so bad that I tended to keep her fairly well dressed at all times.
In answer to your questions though:
1) The only way to fly with those wings is thorugh use of TCL. So, technically, no flying. There are mods out there that allow fliight, but you have to have OBSE installed (which I don't)
2) The game is still playable at that size, though there are minor probelms with furniture. Chairs are the biggest problem as one's character ends up sitting withing the seat instead of on it. Sort of the opposite effect if one has an overly tall character. Getting up onto things does take a bit of doing as well, but can increase your athletics and such as you constantly have to jump to get places. Including up stairs. And travel time by walking down roads takes a while longer. I mostly play in 1st person perspective, so normally don't see a huge difference in things, just when I switch to 3rd person
Finally got my game back up and running. Though not with any mods yet

So, here is my first character in the new game. Testina, an Orc female.

Yes, it's ebony (Umbras Ebony, and that explains the umbra I'm holding) and thanks for the compliment!
Here is some new pictures at Dath

All these pictures are token in Anvil so this is Anvil's chapel:

Quick update; My mother (I think you know who it is) has an Oblivion Character too now. I could ask her if she would like to post them. Then you'll know how Serene looks in Oblivion.

I *thought* I recognised that character name! You've got a very cool mom.
Do keep up the good work on the pics too
