Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed II. Such a personable and loveable guy, actually. He's got all the badassery of any assassin, but he's got a friendly side. Also a hit with the ladies.

people like to watch their female characters prance around in skimpy unrealistic armor. They get off on it. Most of them are men. Women gamers I know play realistic characters. Which are just as good as vanilla characters.

For some reason my activator key (the one used to do something when the crosshair changes) stopped working right in the middle of the KoTN questline. It's not the spacebar itself, because obviously I can still type ingame on the console (and on here!). Just after "The Faithful Squire", I noticed I had no control over the objects in my environment. Ran ArchiveInvalidation, rebooted, scanned, nothing. Still the same problem. Without cheating, I'm effectively stuck in the priory. Anybody had this problem or know any solutions? Thanks.

I have no idea why, but it seems now more than ever whenever I try to dismount my hourse, the camera freezes like the animation's playing, but it doesn't happen for like a full 5 or 6 seconds later. Meanwhile, my horse could be being mauled by a mountain lion or minotaur, and I'm helpless. Also occurs less often when trying to mount a horse, where my character will either freeze in place for several seconds, or continue walking past the horse, all uncontrollable. Sometimes he doesn't even get on. Opening up the inventory for a few seconds brings back the crosshair, and sometimes seems to complete the animation. Anybody else have this issue or know any fixes for it?

I'm running my Oblivion on Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) and an NVIDIA Geforce 9100 (standard on-board 256mb card). Your card has more video memory than mine, and mine works. Unless Oblivion is specifically incompatable with your card (which is impossible since your card was made after oblivion goty was), you should try running it in compatabilty mode for Windows Vista (try all sp's) if that doesn't work, then I don't know what will.

In what order do YOU do the quests?
darkprodigy4u replied to bamspeedy's topic in Oblivion's Spoilers
Well, depends on the character I'm playing. I'm playing Titus Mede right now, (Future fourth era emperor "Infernal City") so I made him into a renegade outlaw knight, but then I made him take the holy road. But in between I did the main quest. Then I made him the madgod, following in Pelinal Whitestrake's footsteps of madness. Now I'm finishing up the fighter's guild quests, then the mage's guild quests, so I can rightfully rule all the legally sanctioned factions before claiming the Imperial Throne. If you read the Infernal City, (which I haven't) then you discover Titus Mede is the current emperor, by conquest. His son is Attrebus Mede I think, and he's a main character of the book. So it fits that the champion of Cyrodiil eventually DOES become the emperor (with a lfew trips to the testing hall of course!) -
Every time I try to ride a horse anywhere off the main highways I always get ambushed by a bear. It's like a really unfunny joke. Yep, the creatures of Cyrodiil really, really hate horses. I once had danger music follow me all the way up the Cheydinhal road. Worried I'd get the permanent danger music if I entered the city, I parked my horse in the stable and walked down the road a bit. There, I drew my sword and waited. Eventually, a minotaur came running up the road. I stood there defiantly as it charged straight toward me. I swung my sword as it blew past me and managed to hit it in the side. The minotaur wasn't even phased, it just kept running up the hill. By the time I hoofed back up the hill, the minotaur had opened the stable gate, killed my horse, and was now fighting the stable hand and the guard. Bandits seem to have a grudge against horses too. I've had more than a few completely ignore my slashing blade because they were dead set on killing my horse. The reason is, most wild creatures are smart enough to know which of you is the easier kill. If I was a minotour, I'd take the horse too.

In America, most people think: British talk too fast, and are prim and proper and fussy wussy. Italians are sweaty catholic mobsters. Germans drink lots of beer and make lots of cars and eat lots of sausage. Mexicans live to get into America so they can get a job at Home Depot. Spaniards throw tomatoes and fight bulls. Everybody in Australia is a 'mate', and the love to cook on the 'barby'. Everything is made in China. Japanese are strict, crazy, and push their kids two hard. They also make lots of cool computer stuff. And cars. French are all pansy lovers that love art and cheese. Russians are crazy alcoholics with lots of bombs. South Koreans have a few nuclear missiles and are too big for their britches. Oh, and anybody that looks like they're from the Middle East is a extremist muslim intent on terror. That's about all I can think of. Not my personal opinions, but what I think most Americans think of other nations.

If you call it "Climate Change" instead of "Global Warming", there is a flaw, because the climate has always been changing, and I have a hard time believing we as humans have much impact on it at all. While I agree some things that are contributing factors of "Global Warming" are harmful by themselves, (air pollution, fossil fuel dependency, industrialization) I believe that there are enough trees and plants on the Earth to clean the air to the point where it's not a problem. Just some quick facts: -Trees cover 9.6 billion acres (29.6% of Earth's total land area) http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question96426.html -There were about 450 million cars on the road in 2001 http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2001/MarinaStasenko.shtml Since most adult trees are bigger than cars, you can clearly see that trees still outnumber cars. The total number of trees is of course, incalculable, so that's why I used land coverage instead. @Balagor: So do your own farts. And I think there are more people on this Earth farting than there are cows. We seemed to get along with the atmosphere before, even with us humans and cows farting in all. @LegoManIAm94: Yeah, that's another issue, and a more immediate and serious issue in my opinion. Good thing is the world is on its way to alternative sources of energy. I definately think it'll happen in my lifetime where nobody still uses oil for cars, and maybe I'll see the day where we don't use oil at all.

I think Global Warming is just complete garbage. So what if for the past 100 years the world has been warming? 100 years is but a tiny snippet of time to the Earth, which, is to the best of my knowledge, around 4.6 Billion years old. The world goes through cycles and changes all by itself, and that us humans have the audacity to think that our pisspot activity has had any major effect on the climate just disgusts me. We've had much more serious spikes in temperature before, like the one that MELTED THE ICE AGE, so I really think we shouldn't worry about this little stretch of warm weather. As for the water, around 97% of it is in the oceans, so if we can't find any clean and pure water on land, I guess we know where to look eh? Desalination plants are already popping up all over the world. Global Warming is a political scheme to undermine industry, and to PAY other 3rd world nations to NOT develop. It's an anti-Capitalist scheme that, if it succeeds, will ruin the global economy (worse than it's already damaged).

What makes you think that ANY bit of the Sun would break off from itself? The Sun has such a ridiculously high gravity, that it pulls in everything out to Pluto and far beyond, so why would a piece of the Sun itself ever break off? Besides, the Sun is a giant gaseous ball of fire...so it can't exactly 'melt', and even if a piece of it broke off, we'd be like a match in a blast furnace, and we wouldn't even know what hit us before it even got going.

Could stop breathing...fixes the CO2 problem=P But seriously, it's near impossible to prove that something doesn't exist. You can only prove that something exists, and then prove that if Thing A exists, Thing B CAN'T exist, because Thing A exists, and Thing A and Thing B cannot both exist at the same time. Therin lies the difficulty of proving something false, and why it's so easy that so many people subscribe to the the theory of Global Warming. And here's the thing. While Venus may bear the closest resemblence to Earth of the planets in our solar system, that doesn't make Earth the same as Venus. We have all we can handle to figure out Earth's history, let alone Venus'; we can only speculate how Venus ended up like it did...or if that's just the way it was when it was formed.

I think it's kind of funny when people get all riled up about climate change. Hello?? The climate has ALWAYS been changing. It's the nature of our planet, and I don't see the Planet respecting the status quo anytime soon. But even as I say this, I subscribe to the Gaia theory to an extent, that the Earth has means and mechanisms to balance things out. So, we have more CO2? Well, then Halleluja for plants then, 'cause they BREATHE that stuff...and make O2 (Oxygen) for us classified under the kingdom of Animalia, and we're all good. It's a mutualistic relationship. So if us humans are making a mess of it by producing more and more CO2, that will just mean plants will grow more, and that they will use it to produde more oxygen. Oh, and as far as the "scientific research" behind global warming...it's all phooey. The scientist who did the study (note the singular) admitted the numbers were a little fudged, and his main endorsor was Al Gore, who was on a presidential campaign at the time, and this was his main pitch: that he knew the 'immenent doom' and had the 'plan' to fix it. He lost the election. Global Warming is nothing more than a political scheme to try get developing nations to halt industrialization, and try to get all the big bad developed industrialized nations (like the US and China, the biggest producers of carbon emmissions) to get along, and try to reduce the amount of mass-produced goods we produce. I believe that someday, far in the future, the world will end, if only for the sole reason that, if things have a beginning, they ought to have an end. I just don't think it'll be anytime soon, and I definately don't think that it'll be because "Global Warming" has anything to do with it. And again, the Mayans, (nor any other human civilization) can't see thousands of years into the future anyway, so why bother with them even if they were scientifically credible? Global Warming, 2012, it's all phooey! And that's my two cents on the issue.
