I like that I managed to remember my password. I like that it's over a year since I posted. I like that it was probably even longer before that. I like that it will probably be even longer before I do so again. I like trains.

I like that I can still remember my password. I like that this place is somehow still alive. I like that I probably won't login again until the next time I get bored and decide to crack out oblivion. I like that some people have tried to contact me on here (ha! good luck) I like that I'm still surprised to see the 'new' forum design.

*Looks at join date* Old nexus guys? Hell, I'm not an 'old' nexus guy. I remember guys who were old nexus guys leaving and reminiscing when I joined.

I've not seen a mod for it, so I'd give it a go! it looks like it has a better shape to me. I just wish the made it look more like the concept art: http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/1041/1131575763.jpg

701: You can drop swords on to people's heads from great heights and not harm them 702: There is a brick item you can pick up and put in your inventory, although it is entirely useless.

Maybe Bethesda polishes the Gamebryo engine some more so they'd have a graphical "Jump" like they had from morrowind to Oblivion. A TES Game that looks as good as its predecessor? Nah, i want my TES Game to be this uber awesome Graphic thing that looks amazing in Trailers and demos, but plays a bit wonky so i can apply a million mods.Furthermore, i'd have no one but myself to blame if i scream for a new TES game now and then it comes out unfinished, like the last one did. "Oblivion" has plenty of things that make it pretty apparent that the Game had to be rushed.How is the Ship we see sailing in the intro supposed to get past Leyawin? Where did the City "Sutch" we saw in concept arts go?Well, Oblivion is missing some polishing. I'd like TES 5 to be better polished. If they need more time fr that, so be it. What city? The only city in the concept art is Leyawiin (looking much cooler than it is in game). http://www.elderscrolls.com/art/obliv_conceptart.htm In fact, a city named 'Sutch' is not mentioned in any lore, unlike other cities, and is not featured on any maps. The closest thing that exists is Fort Sutch.

There's a mod I've got called Blood Elven Armour, which is a retextured elven armour (no prizes for guessing the colour), and it looks great for evil characters. Also, Capes And Cloaks has black cloaks with the inside red, it looks very vampire-esque. I use it together with the Hardened leather armour cuirass and gauntlets from Adonnays Elven Weaponry and the greaves and boots from the Treeshadow mod (basically black leather armour, but with a cool cape and shield bearing the Ayleid tree symbol).

I don't face much troubles with making character too. And I always use Imperial, I can't imagine playing another vanilla or moded race, and I'm always male. I usually use Redguards or Dark Elves. I like my characters to be badass, rather than cute. Partially because making them look cute would be much harder than making them look badass (messing aroud with the brow, cheeks and mouth seem to be most effective), and partially because making them look cute would be stupid. If I'm cutting a bloody swathe through the planes of Oblivion, I want a character that looks like they shoud be there, rather than someone that looks like they've just walked out of a Tokyo fashion shop.

It looks great... but it doesn't look like Metal Gear Solid. I mean, obviously, lack of Snake, but that's ok, we've seen his story. But it doesn't appear very stealthy. I can only hope that it will be like MGS4 and have action and stealth integrated together, and they just didn't show the stealth.

Well, this is kinda big news. Valve have never made a game for the PS3, and no one suspected they would because Gabe Newell has made quite a few remarks against it. He did also say that Valve's E3 suprise would not be HL3.

Together with stealth you can be a marksman, it's entirely feasible. I regularly use marsksmanship, I always have a blade and a bow hotkeyed.

How strange. I seem at odds with the community at large here; I don't have much trouble making a good face with vanilla, and I would never use Cute Elves and the like because I loathe 'cute' elves and the like.

The Nexus- Join or we take your firstborn child.

I never have massive problems creating my characters, but then, I rarely play female characters and all these 'cute elf' types can be damned for all I care. I have three main characters; A gaunt dark elf, a rougish looking redguard, achieved by making him moderately gaunt, achieved by giving him a slightly more chiseled jawline and giving him a slightly smiling mouth and a square-jawed nord. I have a feeling this is what is was designed for, that's why I found it so easy. General tips for normal looking characters: Keep the brow quite low, especially inner. Otherwise they look silly, like they're suprised Don't make the cheeks too fat, then they look like hamsters Khajiit always look the same. Deal with it. Don't put they eyes to high, it makes the face look long and horse-like Whatch what you're doing when make the beard darker; it seems to give orcs an extra pair of nostrils and can make the face go quite pale and off-colour.

Vampires foremost because I like the idea of hunting vampires. Other than that, bandits and marauders. I love picking them off in dungeons one by one, it's incredibly amusing.

I downloaded Elsweyr: Deserts of Anequina the other day and I was wondering if anyone knows of any Arabian styled clothing, mounts, weapons and armour mods that my Redguard can wear around to fit in better. I've done a few searches and been largely unsuccesful, so any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks for your time. EDIT: Also things befitting a traveller, such as the Travelers Cloaks mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13033

As it's been said, Heroes Of Might And Magic, although I like 5 too, the universe is less silly and I like the 3D that the others lack, even if the graphics aren't much. Does Worms count as strategy? The Total War Series (although awesome) isn't turn based (well, the battles aren't, and that's really what counts).

For starters, have some respect. Secondly, he was actually a very good bassist, listen to early Slipknot (which I personally prefer, it's more individual, kinda jazzy). He'll be missed for sure, but I suspect he'll be replaced, I hope so.

While I understand why some people dislike the game, many of the points on that are silly. "Just because a game is photo realistic does not mean it has good graphics." Erm, yes it does. Also, this begs the question of why you went on the Oblivion forum at all if you hate the game. You be trollin'

Now, any true metal fan knows of Dio, frontman of Black Sabbath/Heaven And Hell, Rainbow and Dio. Yesterday it was reported that the great man had passed away, leaving the metal community in mourning. He will be sadly missed. http://hookinmouth.net/index/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ronnie_james_dio.jpgRest In Peace

Right, my latest character is somewhat like Berren was, because I wasn't happy with him so I replaced him. Atticus is a Redguard, specialising in blade, marksman, hand to hand, light armour, stealth, athletics and acrobatics. He used to be, before his capture, one of the most infamous bandits in Cyrodiil, under the alias of Treeshadow. Operating along the Gold Coast with his gang (the Treeshadow Bandits), instead of attacking merchant ships, he attacked wagon trains coming out of anvil, which were a much easier target. From time to time, he would also attack pirates attempting to smuggle their stolen goods into Cyrodiil. However, one fatefull night, The Treeshadow Bandits attacked a massive merchant wagon train on the road out of Anvil. The wagon train was a trap, filled with Imperial Soldiers. Almost all of the Gang were killed or arrested, except for Atticus. Atticus managed to flee to The Imperial City, despite being pursued by one hundred legionaires. Now you may be wondering; How did he end up in jail? Well it's simple. He punched a guard in the face. After his escape from the Imperial Prison, he decided to try his hand in the arena, getting to a Hero rank before attempting to return to banditry. However, the destruction of Kvatch made buisness trickier; there were fewer fences and fewer wagon trains. Out of a desire for buisness, Atticus did his best to save Kvatch, inadvertently becoming a hero in the process. After saving Kvatch, Atticus once again attempted to return to banditry, but the Oblivion gates proved even more detrimental to buisness, and the surviving Treeshadow bandits hand disbanded, holdng Atticus personally responsible for their destruction. Most bandits and highwaymen in the Gold Coast region were part of his gang, now dispersed, with small groups hiding in ruins and caves. Atticus, now dismayed with his lot in life, returned to the arena, swiftly becoming grand champion. Now, he serves the empire against the forces of Mehrunes Dagon, in the hope that once they are gone, he can rebuild his criminal dominion. Here's a list of mods that made Atticus, Atticus: Treeshadow Armour Anvil Bay Expansion Jaysus Blades Volume 2 (Especially the Spiked Shortsword and the Smallsword) Andragorn's Weapons and Armours (Sotonhorian Leather and the Mirondil Bow)
