How does one drop stuff? I must have missed that small detail of the tutorial.

I knew it would be something that simple.

Danke.

If someone knows you stole, they know you stole. Im not familiar with that part yet (been busy pickpocketing everyone in the Imperial City's house keys), but the only times I've been knackered, are when people have seen me break the law.

Whats funny though is when youve broken into someones house, and even after they see you - they dont call the cops (well one guy almost did). One guy snuck up behind ME and then promptly went to sleep.

As for explaining what shit does - yes the game is pretty balls about that.

Inside the Maseleum for instance - dunno what the closed fist with the line icon means when you hoover above one of the stone caskets.

[quote="mr.miyagi":8e4d1][quote="TGB!":8e4d1][quote="dr nein":8e4d1]Sounds good to me. Morrowind's character options seemed a bit lacking.[/quote:8e4d1]

beer:

You could, realistically, spend hours in the character creation section. Facially ( eek: ) - its deeper than other Create-A-Character games (SMACKDOWN! comes to mind). . .

Youll see words that you've never seen before (the fuck is a sellion) in the menu. Great overall system.

Oh - and the game fucking rocks. I played for 6 hours yesterday, and spent 4 of it in the Imperial City - so many houses. . .so much loot. Definitely a place for my negro blade wielding thief.

The only problem with the game is that if you dont have a SUPER HIGH system - default settings are going to look like shit and you will need to tweak them.[/quote:8e4d1]
happy:

What system do you have? is 2gb of ram a pretty important upgrade or will my 1gb be enough....
rest of mine is: p4 3.0, 9800 pro 128mb, think i'll need a vid card upgrade?[/quote:8e4d1]
360 biggrin:

i'm a freaking vampire now.

watchout for part of the main quest. you have to go into a vampire cave. i didn't get bit but contracted some disease and i totally forgot about it and now i'm a vampire and can't go outside during the day unless i feed. you have to do this long ass quest to get a cure too.

SoLiDUS · 03-23-2006, 07:47 PM

LOL @ vampire :-)

I just let them have my fuckin' gear, took the prison time and now I'm back with a fucking vengeance. Ya'll will pay for takin' my sword!

mr.miyagi · 03-24-2006, 07:40 AM

Been playing the game for a bit, was ages in customizin my character heh, but my card is playing it ok but not up to my standards...my Radeon 9800 pro 128mb has had its extremely long, great life put to the sword...

SO....

I'd like to play the game at full motherfuckin detail if possible, more RAM is a later possible upgrade if needed.

I gots about £150 to spend on a new graphics card, what shall I get??

If you can stretch it a bit further probably an x850xt. £176

[url="http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/AGP.html"]http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/AGP.html[/url]

Or put some cash together for the upcoming 512mb 7800gs which is a 7800gt on the agp format, £282 though.

if you decide to go x850, just so you know ive the same heatsink siting here of that make of x850, the fans a noisy little bastard when in 3d games.

Well seeing as my PC is the noisiest on the face of the earth I could deal with that, maybe with headphones.
Thanks for the suggestion although how much better is this than the nvidia 6800, shall I stick with ATi or go back to Nvidia, hmmmmmmm

I'm looking for performance comparison charts for the ATI Radeon X850 XT 256MB right now, could I play Oblivion on full you think??

Edit: forgot to say my system is AGP, ppl say the Geforce 7600 GT is a similar card, I'll also sell my Radeon 9800 pro, how much you think i'd get for it? heh

geRV · 03-24-2006, 08:39 AM

Some benchmarks of the x850 here

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/ ... 0xl_5.html

The articles about the pci express version but the performance is the same on the agp version.

Not really sure what settings you could play on, if you want the best performance for agp money cna buy then this is what you want:

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=30502

It'll be on sale at overclockers uk on 31st of this month for £282. That and the x850 imo are your only real options, the other 7800gs some other company brought out is crippled and not worth it.

TGB! · 03-24-2006, 08:47 AM

Too many people are having problems with nVidia - and saying they cant get the graphically quality that their ATI counterparts are getting. Im thinking of getting an ATI for upgrade.

geRV · 03-24-2006, 08:53 AM

The nvidia quality issues are due to the fact that when you install the card and drivers an nvidia card is set to "quality" for graphics (second highest setting). Ati cards are set to their full quality settings from the get go.

Most websites review the cards this way as well, so nvidia are gaining a slight speed boost since theyre not running at the highest settings.

I just recently flogged my 6800gt on e-gay, to be honest i don't see much of a quality difference between ati and nvidia. I did however notice the shimering a shitload more on the 6800gt. But when both cards ran at their high settings the image difference was negligible.

At a stretch maybe £50 on ebay. There is no agp 7600gt varient either.

mr.miyagi · 03-24-2006, 09:22 AM

It looks as if I'll buy the ATI X850XT 256mb AGP

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products ... uid=105306

Maybe this?

btw this site is very handy indeed http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php ... &card2=385

I need to choose which "ATI X850XT 256mb AGP" to get and at the best price........hard to find the right one...
