Yeah I've checked out the mod list....looking good. Real Good. But I've always forced myself to do "Vanilla" for most games I've bought till I'm familiar with the "intention" of the creators, and usually try to go all the way through. In the case of Oblivion, I'm already thinking I should start over with a new Char -- I've learned how to play it much better since the first few days. And since this will probably go into the hundreds of hours (on one char alone)...well, heh. I may just have to read about some of those mods again. What are the most highly "recommended"?

Now we're cookin' with fire...thanks much gents. This game is so damn rich :-) Cheers!

1) And why do I want bound armour over my other set? 2) Usually if I'm close enough to touch an opponent I'm unable to cast due to melee...so how is it supposed to be done properly?

Another round of questions from the Newbie: 1) What exactly do the "Bound" series (Bound Armour: Helmet in this case) of spells do? I bought one cause it was cheap for starting to grind up my Conjuration Level...but I can't figure out wtf it does. I do notice that I get some devilish looking helmet though. 2) How does one use "Touch" spells? I'm a Ranger Class....am I supposed to just run up and slap my opponent unarmed? Or is "Touch" somehow associated with reaching out an touching an opponent with a Fireball kind-of-thing? I have been pouring over the excellent Wiki site...but couldn't get a clear definition of what these terms really mean. Thanks for the answers gents. Cheers!

Greets Gents, New player here, just bought in from Steam over the weekend and I must say this is an amazing game. Good thing I didn't discover the series years ago or I'm sure I'd be unemployed now. Well I'll probably be posting a bunch of newbie crap here over the next few weeks and I hope you will bear with me while I learn the ins and outs of the game system. 2 Questions to start: 1) Where can I find a list of potion ingredients (things like plants) and what they are used for? I've picked a few and see stats, but there're a LOT of them and I don't want to write all this stuff down if I can get a slick Excel sheet somewhere :-) 2) I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong with the conversation wheel. I think I'm doing what the manual says, but then the wheel options just stop coming, and the points I may have gained just tick away to nothing in EVERY case. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks for any attentions and Cheers!
