I definitely would choose the mask because the perks from it outweigh the usefulness of the axe.

To be honest, I bought Oblivion when it first came out... and hated it. Played it for 20 minutes and took it out of my 360 angry at the world for making such a stupid purchase. Fully intended to return it the next day. Never did, though, and about 8 months later decided to give it another go.

I don ...

Have you tried praying at a shrine? It might just be that the negative effect isn't showing up, but is still active.

A companion would also come in handy for the same purpose.

In the beginning of the game, when I was on my way to Riverwood, I took a wrong turn and ran into a Stormcloak camp. They all drew their weapons and threatened me, but when I backed off, they sheathed their weapons and went about their business. Many hours of gameplay later, when I found their camp ...

I merely agree, although I tend to make things alone, as using unkillable companions make me feel like cheating.
I take some of the words back. I had some fierce fights and I am about 80% sure I didn't hit my companion, but he was still dead after the fight.
I was going to say that my companions ...

Oh, here I thought it was going to be a Pokemon reference. *whew*

I was wondering if wearing Imperial armor would have any kind of outward effect. Found a few pieces of Imperial Steel armor but was afraid to wear it (sticking with Nordic Steel) because I wasn't sure if people who're for the rebellion would react to me negatively.

Slightly still on topic, but has ...

Besides the first encounter, I've only had one more run in with a dragon. Way out in the open with no cover it was just me, Lydia... and a stray mammoth. Funny enough, at first the dragon all but ignored me and started fighting with the mammoth while Lydia and I peppered it with arrows from behind ...

And unfortunately burglar alarms won't be invented for another 800 years.

I'm only level 3 and have been roaming aimlessly for a few hours. So far I've been able to handle 3-to-1 odds against bandits without touching the difficulty, but I've only survived one out of six battles with a Spriggan. So I'm guessing from the start there are some enemies that are just tougher ...

Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't give users the ability to download updates for individual games off their website, at least not for the consoles. All you can get from them is the console updates for the 360 itself. Unless you can connect your 360 to Xbox Live there's no way for you to get the ...

Have you tried uninstalling the expansion? I know in the past people have had the same problem with both consoles. Usually sleeping for 72 hours gets the quest to update, but some people have had to uninstall the expansion, restart the system, clear the cache (on the 360), start up the game, save it ...

If you're running any mods, you might try disabling them as well. It's possible one is having an unintentional effect on the quest.

Are you running any other mods at the same time? Most often problems come with conflicts between other mods.

If they are alive and you still can't find them, try waiting/sleeping at Cloud Ruler Temple for 72 hours. It's possible they got stuck somewhere on their trip back. Or something killed them on their way back.

I was roaming the woods for hours, killing everything I saw, thinking myself the ultimate badass. Then I ended up falling asleep while I was playing. When I woke up six hours later my character was dead on the ground and I had no idea why. Whatever killed me didn't bother sticking around until I ...

Unless you're using a mod of some kind, then you're correct.

Have you tried waiting for 72 hours (using the Wait feature). Sometimes that helps to reset things that have gotten stuck. It's possible that the horse wandered into a rock or fell through the ground somewhere.

If you select the Nirnroot quest for Sinderion over in Skingrad, then the map marker will disappear after you complete the first couple of quests on that. It's what I use when I don't want to be led around by the nose by the quest markers.

Is that actually fun? Just playing a normal person? To me that would seem old or get boring. No diss intended I just hear about how people get into role playing & would love to learn or be able to get into it.
I can't even count how many hours I've spent doing exactly that. There're two characters ...

What OS are you using? I've heard that Vista has problems running Oblivion.

Just for clarification, is the option not even available in the dialogue or are they denying your application once you ask to join?

Does this sound like what you've been experiencing? The problem they were having was on the Xbox, though, so not sure if it applies to your case.

You won't always be able to avoid taking damage, however. As a just-in-case measure I would carry a sword or other weapon on you at all times. I say this because unlike armor or shields a weapon doesn't take away from your spell effectiveness but it can block incoming attacks.

Unlike most others I ...
