so, since the xbox no longer recognise my pendrive as an HD, i've lost my oblivion saved game. I was thinking of creating another character, this time an argonian. any tips?
Monday, 14-Apr-14 14:18:51 UTC from web-
@mushi Hmmm, never played Oblivion. How close is it to Skyrim?
Monday, 14-Apr-14 14:22:28 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx that i dont know for i have not played skyrim .-.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 14:22:51 UTC from web-
@mushi Then I suppose we are at an impasse. Someone else should know though! I think.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 14:23:40 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx IF ONLY THE OMNISCIENT @NERTHOS WAS HERE
Monday, 14-Apr-14 14:24:35 UTC from web-
@mushi Pray and your questions will be answered
Monday, 14-Apr-14 17:32:06 UTC from web-
@nerthos so, is the mage birth thing and the nightblade class a not bad choice for a argonian?
Monday, 14-Apr-14 17:51:00 UTC from web-
@mushi Yes. They rely on willpower, which makes your magicka regenerate faster, but a lack of intelligence makes your total magicka pool smaller. The mage birthsing will give you a bigger pool that will recharge decently fast. It's overall a good choice.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 17:54:26 UTC from web-
@nerthos oh, thanks ^^

@xeleanorxrigbyx I've played skyrim and I own oblivion.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:18:45 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Heh, then Mushi needed a bit of help earlier. Think he's got it down though.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:19:13 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Oh okay. As far as I know people say oblivion is much better than skyrim but I'm too busy playing skyrim to care.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:20:34 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Ha, I can't hear you over the sound of all of the dragons I'm utterly destroying.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:21:07 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Dammit! Stupid elder dragons!
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:22:08 UTC from web -
@xeleanorxrigbyx Dual wield + attack speed buff
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:23:14 UTC from web-
@nerthos I like setting everything on fire. Khajit fire mage for the win.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:23:52 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Argonion Assassin for the win! I love sniper bows.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:26:12 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 I'll use a bow if I can snipe them, which is fun. I also like the mace of Molag Bal. Soul Trap yeahhhhh.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:27:28 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx You know I like enchanting stuff but I always forget to cast soul trap.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:28:48 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 That was one of the first things I did. Enchantment is pretty awesome. I don't dabble too much into alchemy though.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:29:34 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I just get a bunch of ingrediants and make a bunch of random potions. I actully have Light armor and Blacksmithing at LV 100
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:31:11 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 I haven't quite cracked 100 on anything yet (Currently level 42 I think) but I know I can make glass armor which is awesome.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:31:55 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I'm at level 50 something and have dragon scale armor. It is so awesome!
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:33:11 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 I'm hoarding all my dragon scales for the day I can unlock that perk. But for now I look super fab in my teal glass armor.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:34:06 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Yeah that's what I did. What's your favorite house? Mine is the one in Markarth.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:36:43 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 I'm currently very fond of Riften. I like the canals a lot.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:37:36 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Oh well I kind of like markarth because you get an awesome view of the city, and the inside is just cool looking.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:38:52 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 I'm not certain I have that house yet. I'm working on becoming Thane of Everywhere but that gets expensive.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:39:22 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx "Thane of Everywhere"
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:40:10 UTC from web-
@mrmattimation You bet!
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:40:48 UTC from web

-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Oh well if you want to become thane in the bigger cities you have to buy the house so I can see that getting very expensive.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:41:32 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Right. I know Solitude is super expensive off the top of my head, but I know there are others.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:42:25 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Well the esiest one is whiterun.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:43:09 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Ha, yeah. I bought that way late in my currently playthrough for some reason.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:44:49 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Oh well I actully had a playthrough where I killed the first dragon at level 20
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:46:06 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 I can't remember what level I finally wound up doing it at, but I haven't really touched the main quest much.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:46:45 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx In my origonal file I never beat the main story.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:48:12 UTC from web -
@xeleanorxrigbyx Don't you hate it when your in a heated battle and all of a sudden when you attack your companion gets in the way and you kill them. That's how I lost Lydia... Rest in Peace Lydia... You idiot.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:50:01 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 That happened with Hjoromir. He stepped in front of a spell and died and filled a soul gem for me! So now he's a cloak.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:51:07 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Wow well it's his fault for being an idiot.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:52:02 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 I thought about loading for a split second, but he had outlived his usefulness and now he gets to be a cloak. He's more useful this way.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:52:50 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Pfft I tried to save Lydia but she did the same exact thing and I'm like, "okay forget it Lydia is an idiot!"
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:54:23 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Hahahah, Byeeee Lydia! Not like she really adds much dialogue.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:57:32 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I was sooo mad at that! I made her a set of Dragon plate armor!
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:59:22 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Take it back and give to next poor sucker companion!
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:00:49 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Good one but I'm traveling with the only companion who's character is just like mine. She prefers light armor.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:01:56 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Awww lame.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:02:39 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Well it's kind of better because she actually sneaks with me and doesn't run blindly into battle.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:04:28 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Yeah, Lydia is a bit loud.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:06:22 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx In my experience every companion I've been with is extremely loud.

@xeleanorxrigbyx Lydia is the only follower I felt really attached to tho. Her standing in doorways, triggering traps and complaining about carrying weight grew on me.

@nerthos "I am sworn to carry your burdens..." DON'T GIVE ME LIP LYDIA.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:02:30 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I spent more time running around with Lydia than with my wife. The only reason she hasn't yet divorced has to be fear of the dragonborn's power. Or maybe the piles of riches thrown all around the house.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:05:08 UTC from web-
@nerthos You can get married in that game? Man I'm out of the loop.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:06:00 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I married Ysolda to get her to show up again since she had fallen through the floor and died.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:06:53 UTC from web-
@nerthos I'm an strong independent Khajiit that don't need no man.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:07:34 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Plus there's no kajhiit to marry so that'd mean a blasphemous inter-species relationship would be the only option.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:08:58 UTC from web-
@nerthos Well that doesn't make sense because I'm an argonian and I married a nord.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:10:10 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 BLASPHEMY! HERESY! BY THE NINE, HOW CAN SUCH A THING BE!
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:10:58 UTC from web-
@nerthos If it makes you happy I can't have kids with her so you won't see half nord half argonian kids running around.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:13:46 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Talos would strike them down anyway
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:18:18 UTC from web-
@nerthos I wouldn't let him I'd rather Fight him myself then let him strike my kids!

@nerthos What's the weirdest I can go? I wonder if I can find an Argonian.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:10:40 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I really miss the argonians and kajhiit making fun of eachother in the earlier games.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:11:49 UTC from web-
@nerthos I do get a lot of insults generally ending in "cat" and a lot of digs of smelling like a dog due to the whole werewolf thing.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:13:12 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I did the entire questline to cure lycantrophy for all the companions and then went for vampirism like I did in the other games in the series since otherwise my character would be mortal. No daedric apotheosis or corprus like the other games.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:17:53 UTC from web-
@nerthos I like running around and tearing stuff up. Good times.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:20:28 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I rarely use transformations, they tend to make my character more vulnerable.

@xeleanorxrigbyx Sure you can marry an Argonian.

@scootaloo123 Alright, cat lizard babies awayyyy
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:16:57 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I'm gonna warn you they will come out in an egg. You may need to sit on them till they hach since your the mother.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:19:08 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 That sounds like a horrible abomination of a baby. I don't even want to think about what a lizard/cat mix looks like.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:20:52 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx http://rainbowdash.net/url/753178 Something like this. Just ignore the chicken parts.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:22:20 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Yeah that's terrifying.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:22:42 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Yeah Now imagine it walking around on two legs and talking to you. There is your nightmare fuel.

@scootaloo123 Thankfully one of the perks you can get from Hermaeus Mora's books in the Dragonborn expansion turns off friendly fire
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:54:40 UTC from web-
@nerthos THAT. IS. AWESOME! I could use my call storm shout and not kill my partner!
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:56:04 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Yep. You can either pick no friendly fire or another boon, but that one is just so useful I never change it.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:57:27 UTC from web-
@nerthos Boon? Do you meen wife?
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:58:29 UTC from web-
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:59:59 UTC from web-
@nerthos So wait what does it mean in game? Another stone?
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:00:53 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 No. You get it from a book. It's an effect in your active effects list under magic.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:02:10 UTC from web-
@nerthos Oh is it kind of like that passive affect from getting all the stones of whatever the hell his name was?
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:03:24 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 Basically, yeah
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:03:54 UTC from web-
@nerthos Oh okay that's cool but I think I'd go with no friendly fire. That's just my opinion.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:05:18 UTC from web-
@scootaloo123 No friendly fire is exactly what that boon grants.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:06:04 UTC from web-
@nerthos Oh okay.

@nerthos Oh is that where it came from? I took the perk which is nice. Isn't that the one where you go to that other island area?
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:57:16 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Yep! Solstheim. I liked that expansion because of the daedric plane and boons, the Telvaani wizard questline and the nordic carved armor.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:58:55 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yeah, the daedric plane was a lot of fun to play.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 20:00:28 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I always liked Hermaeus Mora, plus the in-game books that talked about it made it seem magical. It's a shame that you can't use any of the millions of books piled up all around.

@xeleanorxrigbyx Just use alchemy for money. Buy all the ingredients and make potions, you sell them back and you turn a profit. You can also fast travel to a euin near whiterun and run towards the city, passing through a shrine of Zenithar (10% better prices)
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:43:32 UTC from web-
@nerthos *to a ruin
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:43:56 UTC from web -
@nerthos Hmmm, that's a good idea. Maybe I'll go home and try to fix the game again.

@xeleanorxrigbyx Kajhiits are the best. Also J'zargo is potentially the most powerful follower in the game unmodded since he has no level cap.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:30:43 UTC from web-
@nerthos I love running around as a giant cat! It's fun. And yeah, I've heard that about J'zargo. I may pick him up later if I get rid of any of my three.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:31:24 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I usually use only one follower. Lydia, Serana, or J'zargo, depending on character. I took Lydia to
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:34:47 UTC from web-
@nerthos I'm currently running with Gorr, Serena and Lydia. I'm a bit squishy when I run alone so if nothing else they're cannon fodder. They seem to get stuck a lot though and I wind up doing many closed in area (caves and the like) by myself.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:35:55 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Just get a set of armor to ~600 defense and put on some elemental resistance enchants and they won't harm you. Also, are you using the default archery or have you disabled the aim assist?
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:38:10 UTC from web-
@nerthos I haven't tweaked those settings, so probably default. I don't believe I have any mods for archery.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:38:55 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx It requires messing with some settings in the .ini, there's a guide on it somewhere. I remember googling it and finding an article about disabling it. It was almost impossible for me to hit anything with the bow on skyrim prior to disabling it because I know how to use a bow IRL and skyrim's mechanics were outlandish.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:41:46 UTC from web-
@nerthos I'll have to look it up then. I know I've attempted to snipe people and just everything completely misses when I feel like it totally should have hit.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:43:15 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx Found it http://zemalf.blogspot.com.ar/2011/11/skyrim-archery-tweak.html (You might want to try changing the 0.7 values to 0.0 and see which works better))
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:48:53 UTC from web-
@nerthos Oh cool, thanks! I'll see what this does if I can pull the game back up.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:50:10 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx It just removes distance compensation so that arrows shoot straight from your bow, instead of shooting higher.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:51:32 UTC from web-
@nerthos Sounds interesting.

@scootaloo123 I don't know. You can always get a mod or use a console command to fix that though.
Monday, 14-Apr-14 19:32:57 UTC from web-
@nerthos Well I have it on the Xbox and your background is giving me a seizure.
