Now, lets talk about Oblivion, lets talk Lore, lets talk mod, lets talki modding, let us talk about it all.

If you have any questions about any thing Lore related, I should be able to answear most of it.
If you have made any mods, then feel free to share them with us or tell us about them if you have not made them public (as my mods, they have never been uploaded anywhere)

If you need anyhelp getting started with modding I can help on the right path at least

And if you just want to use mods, tell us about any mods that we might not have heard about or if you have any problems getting started with getting mods to work

Creation of The Aedra and Daedra

Spoiler! :

In the beginning, there is a void known as Sithis. The Aldmer called the void "Anu". Anu and Padomay (is - is not) are part of the void. The interplay of Anu and Padomay created the Aurbis. It is the Gray Center between is and is not of Anu and Padomay. It contains realms of Aetherius and Oblivion, and other less structured forms. The Aldmer see the Aurbis as Anuiel, the soul of Anu the void.

At first the Aurbis was turbulent and things do not last, this is because Anuiel was using Sithis to ponder himself in every possibility. In any case, from Anuiel and Sithis sprang the et'Ada, or the Original Spirits. The et'Ada did not align to anything yet, they moved towards the light or the dark, and then returned in the opposite direction without their own notice, dissolving when they hit the perfect gray again. The first et'Ada were new and they often made mistakes, for there was hardly time to practice being things before. So most things ended quickly or were not good or gave up on themselves. This was a violent time.

Akatosh (or known as Auriel by the Aldmer) one of the et'Ada, discovered how to avoid this process or was given the knowledge by Anuiel. The knowledge is time. Soon the et'Ada filled the Aurbis until the Aurbis was full and separated in two groups. Those who align to Anu reside in Aetherius and those who align to Padomay reside in Oblivion.

Lorkhan who aligned to Padomay but prefers the state of Sithis rather then the separation. Lorkhan brought a concept of a world, of becoming mothers and fathers, of being responsible, and making great sacrifices, but with no guarantee of success to all of the et'Ada. The et'Ada were split in to two factions. One faction was excited and immediately started the project. Magnus (et'Ada of Magic) participated as the architect on the creation of the world. Kynareth (et'Ada of Air) provided the space for the world in the void. Akatosh, Y'ffre, Zenithar, Julianos and many others were part of this faction that is now known as the Aedra. The other faction of et'Ada who did not want to participate on the project is now known as the Daedra.

Then, the Mortal Realm or Mundus was created, being a mix of both Anu and Padomay aligned et'Ada, and it is close to Sithis. (After all, things are born, procreate and die again over and over again without ever really getting anything that lasts forever). The process of creation was painful and left most of the Aedra weak, no longer young, strong, and powerful, as they had been from the beginning of days. As their aspects began to die off, many of the Aedra vanished completely.

The remaining Aedra realized that they were tricked, but it was too late. Magnus decided to abandon the project and left to Aetherius. The rest of the Aedra came together in the Adamantine Tower and conducted a meeting. Yet, the meeting was unfruitful. Most of the Aedra left, went back to Aetherius following Magnus. Some were decided to stay in order to preserve what they had done. This group transformed themselves into Ehlnofey (the Earthbones). Y'ffre was among this group, he was the first to transform to Ehlnofey and then Laws of Nature was established. The last eight Aedra (Akatosh, Julianos, Arkay, Mara, Dibella, Zenithar, Stendarr and Kynareth) exist as the gods.

According to the Aldmeri legend, there was a great war between Auriel (Akatosh) and Lorkhan. Auriel's greatest knight, Trinimac knocked down Lorkhan and took his Heart. Lorkhan was said to be dead. But when Trinimac and Auriel wanted to destroy the Heart, it laughed at them and said, "This Heart is the heart of the world, for one was made to satisfy the other." So Auriel fastened the Heart to an arrow and cast it from the Adamantine Tower. The Heart landed on the eastern part of Tamriel and a great Volcano formed, Volcano now known as Vvardenfell.

The Daedra are still strong and "incorruptible." They created the Daedric Realms in the Oblivion, with all the inhabitants, the lesser Daedra. The Daedra were pleased of what they had done, but sometime they looked with envy over the Mortal Realm. They found that the ambitions and the passions of mortals are sometime entertaining and beyond their expectation. The actions and thoughts of mortals are different than the minions they created. Thus do the Daedra court and seduce certain amusing specimens of the Mortal Races, especially the passionate and powerful. It was also another satisfaction for the Daedra to steal or corrupt anything that Aedra has created.

After Magnus left, the Mundus was stabilized and Aldmeri history began. This was the end of the Dawn Era and the start of the Merethic Era (ME2500).

There are some few ways to get 100% Chameleon.

1: Enchant 5 items with 20% chameleon.
2: Get Ring of Khajiiti (Meridia's quest) and it have 35% chameleon and then choose if you want to use 2 transcendent stones witch have 30% each, and then you should be at 95% and then you can just enchant a ring with the last %

These fix over 1,800 bugs!

And this is what happens when modding goes wrong.

I appear to fail badly at oblivion. I have got the 360 version so no modding for me

But i'm only level 6 and no matter what i do i cant hasten my leveling speed. I've seen people 'apparently' manage to get upwards of level 40 but i see no way of doing that without spending months on the game!

DuplicateValue · Post by **DuplicateValue** » 22 Jul 2011, 05:34

Yeah I have the PS3 version, so no mods for me.

And a chameleon suit works great, but ruins your playing experience. I highly recommend against making it.

You're probably not improving the right skills. You need to be practicing your major skills if you want to level up quickly. But then, having to spend months in Oblivion isn't a bad thing in my eyes.

The thing about Oblivion is to learn to choose the right skills if you want to level up fast, AND ALSO LEVEL UP FAST WITHOUT STILL BEING WEAK.

Here is how you level up in Oblivion:

You level up based on your major skills that you choose at the start of the game (cpt obvious)
You must choose those 7 skills you are going to use when you play, if you choose a skill that you end up not using you will end up with a harder time leveling up.
Becuse you will level up when you have improved any of you major skills with 10 points (I'm not saying in one skill only, you can spread it over all the major skills)

So first thing is, choose the skills that you know you are going to use, I do not know what kind of character your palying so I can not help you choosing, but have it in mind, no point choosing a skill you are going to use less then another skill.

This is how you level faster, but remember, enemies level up with you, if you level up with the wrong skills, like just leveling sneak, speechcraft, stuff that does not help you much in combat, the game will become MUCH harder.
Becuse you then do not get stronger , but enmies will get stronger as you level up, so be awere of this to.

Edit: I hope you understod what i meant xD

And for the love of god, don't make the same mistake I did and pick Acrobatics as one of them - unless you don't mind having to jump your way around instead of walking.

Cho · Post by **Cho** » 22 Jul 2011, 06:15

Acrobatics was great - jump off high places and take no dmg.

I loved Acrobatics, jumping on roof tops

BUT not as an major skill

Hytro makes a good point concerning leveling the right skills. However, I tend to play an assassin/barterer type, which means I can safely choose skills like Sneak and Speechcraft for major skills, and generally talk my way out of fights (using persuasion) or just sneak up on people. However, that's a big jump from running and gunning (running and swording?), and it definitely does make the game much more difficult if you're doing it wrong.

Derp, I don't type well when tired. Goodnight. ._.

UndeadJesus · Post by **UndeadJesus** » 22 Jul 2011, 07:56

I chose Acrobatics as a major skill too. At first I was happy with it, but I quickly found it was a terrible decision.
I downloaded this mod:
http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28164
This made acrobatics way more rewarding ^.^

Ah yes, I tend play a assassin type to, and I must say it brings a lot to the game to, by being an assassin looking class, you will have more probleme if you make a mistake with in combat. So it's not all bad, depends on how you look at it

Post by **vallorn** » 22 Jul 2011, 08:17

i ALWAYS have played a Dunmer Sword/Spell character. the amount of flexibility you can get out of one is fantastic.

also freezing something then bashing it in the balls never gets old.

Hytro · Post by **Hytro** » 22 Jul 2011, 08:24

I'm pretty much always Argonian and try and shift class, but assassin is my favorit, switching between stabbing and putting a arrow between someones eyes >:)

If I'm another race it is usaly to try out a race mod.

DuplicateValue · Post by **DuplicateValue** » 22 Jul 2011, 08:29

My Oblivion character was a Wood Elf thief-type. So yeah, sneak was used a lot.
I gave up on bows a bit into it though, and started using swords. Eventually I got that up enough to save my ass if the sneaky stuff went badly.

Sneak is a bit ridiculous once you master it - you can literally push up against enemies while sneaking and they won't notice a thing.

Darktaint · Post by **Darktaint** » 22 Jul 2011, 09:11

My main character was a redguard, that majored in sneak, lockpicking, swords, atheletics (yes both sneak and atheletics

), destruction magic, medium armour, and i think the last one was axes for the dual weilding lulz

he was really easy to play too

What's this Oblivion you kids are talking about?

Is it an FPS? It looks like an FPS. Like Fallout with swords.

One of my major skills is lockpicking i think... As such i have the absolutly awesome Skeleton key! Best non-combat item in the game i think

It takes the challenge out of lockpicking though, as you can just try over and over again until you nail it.

The biggest tip i could possibly give is don't lend it to a friend as everytime they say they'll give it back 'they'll forget'

Post by **Sti_Jo_Lew** » 22 Jul 2011, 22:50

Trololol. Anyways, I haven't stayed with one character long enough to get past level 5... I can't make up my mind it seems. I think I found a build I like though. Argonian with specialization in Speed and Strength. I go around with a short sword, jumping all over the place like a mad-lizard.

Also, can't wait to play as Argonian in Skyrim and learn the ability to breath fire. That will be fun. Also, dual katanas should be interesting.

Only the last two Fallout games had anything to do with Bethesda, and they're not as good.

i actualy kind of liked Fallout 3.

however Fallour NV and its bugs can bite my shiny metal ass!

I've played this before, though I obtained it through nefarious means. I do remember liking most of it, though the game was not without its problems. I always hated the scaling difficulty. Seeing every damned group of highwaymen in daedric or glass armor (which in Morrowind was super freaking rare) kept breaking the immersion for me. Did the Cammona Tong hit an arms shipment destined for some elite guard, and just for kicks distribute it across Cyrodiil?

Full disclosure: I bought the 5th anniversary edition yesterday. You can stop calling the anti-piracy guys.
