Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Im sure that there will be some talking animal in the game thats well hidden with lots of gold

Are you saying that jokingly or do you actually know of said person?



Sounds quite good about all the potions! I've got 18,000 in gold anyway, not like I need it, but I could make another 10-15k in selling all the extra stuff I have now I think.

Especially after that Orerry mission, I got soooooo much Glass armour and weapons etc from that quest!!

Finally finished the mage guild, found the last quest pretty tough though the final battle itself was a bit easy (the staff you get at the very start of the mage guild - once inside - is so overpowered ).

Good timing on the Orerry, didn't want to start that until Magey was complete Will tackle that tomorrow!

Not really sure what to do next...still have 3 guilds and the main plot...plus all the shrines!

Will probably get the shrine item that

gives you a reuseable soul gem

. Finding that I don't have big enough stones all the time! With the

->Open Spoiler<-

sword of umbra

it is easy to fill them up though.

Regarding money I tend to do similar to Erhgiez - you pick up an awful lot of potions and alchemy stuff on your travels, and they start selling for quite a bit. I can make potions worth 100 gold easily now, and generally make five grand every time I empty my inventory of flowers 'n ****.

Now my armourer is above 50 I'm also saving an awful lot on repair bills!

Don't pay for it - it's a complete rip off - seriously.

Found someone in Anvil that buys items up to 1,200. Anyone know any higher than that?

[MartyG]

1200 is the most I've found. Once your mercentile skill reaches expert you can invest in shops and get an additional 500.

Makes anything worth more than 1700 not worthwhile really :/

The armour guy in anvil died trying to protect me from guards. I feel so bad about that, partly because i used to sell him everything.

That kinda sucks...

Theres a 4th fence in the theives guild called Orrin I think, but S'krivva never tells you where to find him.. Says he has more money too!!

If someone could list the thieves guild fences and where they might be I'd be very happy! I have finished the thieves guild but still use them to sell stuff...I can only remember where Ongar the world weary is...the best one is in the imperial city somewhere is he/she?

Oh actually just a quick question : I did a shrine quest and got a

->Open Spoiler<-

skeleton key

but I'm not sure what it does? I'm an expert at lockpicking now, and I'm not sure if that is why now, when I pick a lock I can't break the lockpick and they are all slow and easy to pick or if THAT is the skeleton key...

I ask because I heard people mention an unbreakable lockpick, whereas I'd have thought the item I mentioned would be for opening doors without having to DO the lockpick mini-game?

You do indeed own the unbreakable lockpick, which also adds 40 to security. You still need to do the mini-game, but you may as well just hammer the auto-retry button.

I'm hoping that if you drop the item your security goes back down (can't see why it wouldn't), as it is a major skill now nearly maxed out.

Doors that require a key are there for quest purposes, it'd be silly if there was an item that broke through these.

[MartyG]

You're better off only selling stolen items to the fences - they pay less, at least to me, as it's not possible for me to haggle the sell price above 60% - most other traders I can get this between 80-90%. Of course anything worth over 1200 it doesn't matter, so if you're pinching the pennies, use the smithy in Anvil town instead.

Well not really, that's exactly what a "Skeleton Key" is!

Oh well

Well guys, my infatuation with this game has come to a bit of an end, really.

I've tried playing it the past couple of days and just.. not really felt absorbed. I don't know why, i'm even playing in my newly acquired high definition, and I just can't play it for more than 10 - 15 minutes before wanting to return to DoA 4 or Ghost Recon.

I loved it for a while aswell, but I guess the novelty has worn off after 35 hours of gameplay.

Put up on trade forum if anyone's interested. If I suddenly have the urge to play it again, i'll buy the standard edition next time.

I've got a fence that buys up to 1500 now!!! How do you get people buy for up to 80-90%? I can only ever get it to about 60 and it never goes much higher, thats after maxing the disposition too!!

hey guys, just out of curiosity, wats the support like for Xbox 360 in terms of patches, plug-ins, mods, etc?
for example, on the PC version there are plug-ins for horse armor, and more on the way. There are already several mods available as well. there arent any patches yet, but there is no doubt that there will be in due time.

So wats the deal? are any of these available on xbox live?
