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.

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!)

I never knew your character could lean forward and pat the neck of the horse he or she is riding. I guess I've never spent much time idle on a horse, seeing as I use them for speedy transportation and all. :tongue:
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.

You could try making a video of it or finding one that has what you're talking about... I really want to hear this hidden dialogue.

On the east side of the red ring road, south of the road to cheydinhal I think. Can't miss it.

And that is why I don't like the term "global warming" people deny its existence cause its a bit colder... Climate Change is a much better title made of both Warming and Dimming.
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).

I highly dought any amount of the sun would melt before it hits us cause even the tinist piece is most likey twice our size
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.

Disease can be cured by using a potion of cure disease, casting a spell of cure disease (which you probably can't do yet) or, most simple, go to any of the chapels in the cities (except the Imperial City) and use the altar. If your fame outweighs your infamy (and it should, unless you've already spent some jailtime), you will recieve a blessing, and basically, you're fully healed (this includes ridding diseases, poisons, restoring health, magicka, and fatigue).
Reading the game manual can help if you're starting out, albeit not everything is in there. Unfortunately, there is no way to change your class, race, or birthsign through the console without resetting any leveling you might have done. Then again, you might want to check out that mod MHM mentioned, and see if that helps.

Only if we like giving convicts what they want..... that's why 60 years without tv would be a worse punishment
-
Hold the phone, since when can humans predict the futre 2012+ years in advance?
And besides, these weren't exactly the most credible and reasonable people ever...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Mayans had a game like basketball, where, there was a hoop hanging from the side of a wall, and the first of two people to get a ball through the hole won the game. The loser got sacrificed to the gods.
Also, I think that if the tribe thought that one person was a god, they sacrificed him to "free him from his earthly restaint" via fire. Lots of fire.
C'mon....after all the hooplah about Y2K, global warming, (30 years ago, it was global cooling..), etc. etc...another apacalyptic theory just seems a little silly after a while. The world is going nowhere soon, and I'll certainly not be alive when it's time for it to go.

It is in this case that I think that a life sentence is a more severe punishment than swift death, so I agree. It really all depends on the situation, which is why there's a justice system, and why jurors have to come to a unianimous decision to convict someone. I know I may sound like I'm contradicting myself, but one has the right to change his mind, and adjust his perspective, yes?
I know religious debates are banned, and I wasn't using Jesus as a religious figure, but as a purely historical one (as in the case of Ghandi). One can talk about Confucious without going into Confucionism, am I right? Besides, Jesus was not the butt of my argument, my views on the death penalty were. But I'm not going to say anything about it further, if that's what's best for this debate, and I believe it is.

@Ancient Aeon
What I meant, was yeah, Passive Resistance is nice when it works. Ghandi did great things for India and Jesus inspired a worldwide spiritual revoultion. But if it doesn't, in the case where your aggressor does not have a soul, and therefore doesn't realize what he's doing is a bad thing, yeah, you might just end up dead if you LET him hurt you. Unfortunately we do not live in a world where everybody realizes their evils, or live in one where everybody forgives everybody. We live in a violent world, where the evil people think their evil is only a by-product of their ambition, and not the root of the problem. I support defusing a situaution; stopping violence in its tracks. Passive Resistance throws off the agressor, because it is NOT normally what we as humans would do. If a person hit another person, and that person reacted with pure instict, it would probably turn into a fight to the death, or atleast one decides it's not really worth it. When someone hits a person, and that person reacts with passive resistance, they will probably just take the punch, lie and the ground, get back up, and ask if his attacker would like another shot. The problem is, this only works with people who have a soul, conscience, moral firmament, whatever you want to call it. Someone who doesn't, will probably be like "Alright, Hell yeah!" *thonk* and you end up on the ground with more damage than before.

Omg...I watched the video and fell in love and awe. If only my PC could run it... it has fps issues with Oblivion, so I don't think I'll be able to play this fast-paced shooter on my PC. I really...really need to get myself an X-Box 360. Maybe if I start saving now, and maybe cash in some of my old PS2 games, I'll be able to get this by the time it comes out this fall. =]

Falanu Hlaalu is a necrophiliac from Morrowind. She's the alchemist in Skingrad. =]

Yes, Ghandi said; "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind."
but...
"Justice is blind."
Wow, I agree with that completely. Peace and love and forgiveness and tree-hugging and all that sounds nice in all, but it's kind of like pure Marxism; it would only work in a perfect, nonviolent, nongreedy, nonvengeful society. We do not life in perfect society, nobody (or species does). When it comes down to it, it's about taking responsibility for your own actions. I think a man who has brutally murdered a man, and then comes to realize he's made himself into a monster, and that what he's done is a horrible thing, should be imprisoned for a very very very long time, not put to death. In my opinion (and that's all I can really offer, as it's hard to change someone's mind) it's the unremorseful muderer who deserves to die. Someone who does not acknowledge that what they have done is a heinous crime, and that he has hurt more than the intended victim, who shows no respect for human life, these people, I say, should die. It's the principle of justice.
If you let him go, because you feel that lowering yourself to his level and doing to him exactly what he did to some other poor fellow, you aren't doing justice to the victim, and the family of the victim, because you're basically like "eh, whatever. S**t happens", and then the real criminals are the people behind the glass wall in the black uniforms with the badges, and the ones sitting in big chairs behind big desks with big robes on and a mallet in their hand.
As for Ghandi, and Jesus, they're talking about passive resistance. The purpose of passive resistance is to make the criminals realize what they're doing is wrong, and in turn, stop their behavior. If you turn your cheek and let him hit the other, and your attacker realize that what he's doing is wrong, you've accomplished your mission of passive resistance. Problem is, this only works for people who have consciences. Stalin let somewhere between 4.5 and 7 million Ukrainians starve because they tried to passively resist him. Hitler simply killed those who opposed him. You see the point? If you let him hit the other cheek, you might just end up dead. This is why I support self-defence, and respecting yourself enough to do so. But I would only resort to killing a man if it was either me or him; i.e., either I kill him, or he kills me, and I respect myself enough to atleast try to defend my life.
In the case where, if I actually lost, and ended up dead, I'd want my killer to pay severely. I'd want him dead, and I think it's only fair.
-
I think it is really quite simple. Murder deserves death. Now, as far as manslaugher, accidents, whatever, it's all up to the judge to decide what the penalty should be, and it should be suitable to the situation.
Stealing deserves monetary reparations. If you steal from someone, you should be fined for the value of it, and then a little more to make the cost for stealing worse than legally paying for it.
Rape...deserves a very long prison sentence, enough where it will severely impact the rapist's life, and where they will lose out on a large chunk of their life, and have a long time to think about and regret what they've done. The sentence should be longer if it ends up producing an illegitimate child, as that's another lifelong burden.
Basically, a combination of the golden rule (do unto others as you would have them do unto you) and Hammurabbi's code (eye for an eye) covers all the bases for anything else.
