You'd then have to wait a long time, as creatures can't enter the cities :wink:
I used to play Oblivion, then I took an arrow in the knee.

wait, creatures can't enter cities? so if I was being chased by three wolves and a bear or something, and i ran into the city, they would not be able to follow? I thought the AI allowed for enemies to go through doorways, or is the wilderness/city doorway a different concept. I know I have had enemies follow me before, never remember if they came through a city doorway tho?

I'm not sure about enemy NPCs but I'm certain creatures cannot enter the cities. This might be because the wilderness and the cities are worldspaces, and dungeons and whatever are interiors. I would check the Constructions Set and see if it provided any information, but I don't have it on this computer. And we should probably make a new thread for this, as it's rather off topic :wink:

What he means, is that it takes a fast connection to fully utilize the map. It's interactive, so when you move around it constantly loads new pictures.

This is pretty much my favorite thing to do. When I'm walking through the wilderness to get to a quest dungeon, and I see a random one pop up, I basically can't help but go and explore/loot it.

1. Put on the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal.
2. Go to the Imperial City.
3. Kill every guard in sight.
4. ?????
5. PROFIT!

Or i'll usually go to this one inn, kill everyone there. Go do the Weekly Arena Quest. Or just travel around, find a random dungeon, and go through it.
Stay Frosty.

I raid ships and plunder towns and horde swag in secret submerged caves. Just a regular day in the life of a player that owns the PC version of the game and has the ability to mod the crap out of it.

Most of the times I just turn oblivion off!
But sometimes:
-I start a riot
-Sniper town people
-try to find a glitch
-multiply items until the PC gets stuck
-decorate my house
-go to the uesp^^

Or... just start a new character =/
It's been good travelling with you, Warden. Don't get lost in the shuffle now.

pray tell WHERE and HOW exactly do you get a GLASS longsword with paralysis in oblivion?
Paralyze is one of the enchantments available for making a custom mage's staff (it is also found on random generic staves). However, it is not possible to make enchanted weapons with Paralyze at the Enchanting Altar.

Or I load my bandit character, he has a large bounty (roleplay) and has friends in every village (where the guards arn't) and I pretty much sell loot to inn keepers or I sneak into the IC during the day (sewers) and sell to the first shop I can access without getting caught. Hehe it's actually really fun

same, i kill ppl jsut so i can use some of the money i have :)

I play with the mods Actors in Charge and Actors in Madness. It's damn hilarious to watch a guard while he's trying to look seductive while looking angry, or making random people swim around the Imperial City, etc etc...

Rampages are lovely, too. Especially with some mods. :P PJ's Disco Spell is probably the best.

However, sometimes I just run & jump around the world...
