    Oh yeah it happens, and when you talk to people they say, "Do you know you're on fire?"

    And I go, "oh really? I had no fucking clue because ALL I CAN SEE IS FLAMES"

    Can you rest for an hour, maybe that resets it?

    ok so does anyone know how to get rid of that damned flaming effect

    Yes, deliver the flames to the cathedral in New Sheoth and the flames will go away.

    Oh. Huh.

    Never noticed. Still.

    ALCHEMY AS A MAJOR SKILL. BAD DESIGNERS. BAD BAD BAD.

    Yeah I had hoped the water thing would work but, it doesn't unfortunately. Nor does resting or waiting or quitting Oblivion and getting back on. I'm almost wondering if I'm stuck with it because I'm pretty sure it's bugged, because the actual buff has run out.

    Oh and Zen, did you actually ever jump into the flame? X-box it might not bug out but it at least does on my PC.

    Edit2: oh and yes, I completely wish I custom did my class instead of picking pre-made assassin because alchemy is a wasted skill. While poisons help as an assassin it's not worth it imo.

    Nope. You're still bound by the law, the guards are just more civil about it.

    So, anyone else notice how SI has a much more Morrowind-esque feel as you walk the land. More narrow valleys with steep walls, forcing a longer journey on me. It is not a bad thing, as it is quite fantastic. I find some remarkable things because of this.
    It think it's because people bitched about Oblivion looking too generic.

    I want TES V to be somewhere outlandish. In the sky or something.
    I know that I've said it before but I'll say it again:P , I really hope that the next game takes place in the Summerset Isles instead of rumoured Skyrim. I loved fucking around the Telvanni isles in Morrowind and the Summurset Isles would be like that a 100 times over and in a tropical climate to boot.

    I enjoyed one shotting Camoran at the end of the game.

    It was like 'now, FACE ME'

    sprinted right up to him andBAM!!!


    Im pretty sure everyone who played the game did that, he was so underpowered i thought they had a bug with his scaled levelling.

    Wasn't he an High Elf? I love having those guys as bosses since a decent mixed elemental spell makes them drop like a cheap hooker in 3 seconds flat.

    I play as a Breton so it isn't as horrible as it would be with another race but it forced me to be a bit more careful when fireballs start flying. Now, an High Elf with the Apprentice sign is a clear sign of selfloathing though :P

    No shit, I built my character to be a stealth mage but once enemies detect me I can start going into tactical nuke mode which feels pretty damn nice. To be honest I've found that I'm barely trying to backstab anymore, sneaking is just a way to put myself in a nice position for some rough, unlubed electrical rape for whatever chump Daedra standing in my way.

    Is the zoom-function any good? I never got a char high enough to try it out.

    It's nice for lining up sneak shots.

    Sometimes though, I can't use it, because you can only hold down so many buttons on the keyboard at once before it stops recognizing more inputs. So I have to sacrifice zoom for the sake of jumping to give my arrows that extra bit of arc so it hits the target dead on.

    So, I have a question involving general Oblivion stuff.

    If you have an enchanted weapon, and poison it, which kicks in first? Could you, for example, have a weakness to magic effect that kicks in before damage that's categorized as magic and therefore add some extra pain in?

    They all kick in at the exact same time.

    I'm not sure how it works with Damage-over-Time, though. If both weakness to fire and a fire DoT are on a target, I think it would do more damage than without the weakness applied.

    I have a Breton with a Mundane Ring (you can get one guaranteed if you run through the main quest at at least level 22). I'm immune to magic (although I can still use restoration and other spells on myself)
