Oblivion - Help
 

Firstly i must say what a fantastic game this, just what i have been looking for, addicition is fast setting in :D

Now i want to start a help thread for this classic as i am sure there are a few veteran's present on SN.

At the moment i stuck on the Chorrol Castle investigation. I have found the painting in the west tower but i cant activate it .... any ideas ??

Thanks

You have to get your disposition up to about 60ish before they will answer your questions.
Or do what most of us have done and bribe them, them ask. you'll get the answers your after and then can check all the rest of the evidence.

How do i get the green ugly ****ers to speak ??

Who is the culprit ?

When you enter the castle and you are in the throne room take the stairs to the left, there is some birds room on the left again once through the door at the top. She's the theif!

You need to get into her bedroom, do a bit of poking about and you'll find some paint brush's.

The other evidence is in the dining room, there is paint stains on the carpet. (again once in the throne room go through the door on the right hand side when facing the queens chair)... massive table in there.!

You have found the painting so as far as i can remember thats all you need.

No, you must find all three clues. If you do not, then when you accuse the correct person they will just tell you that you have no evidence.

Similarly, as stated above, you must talk to all the suggested people before looking for clues.


Finally, you have the choice whether to stitch up the guilty party to the queen. If you do, you get money; if you don't, you get a painting to hang in your house.

Ah brings back memories 120 hours of my life down the pan, but what a game:D Hopefully they wont bring another one out or I think my boss will be handing me my p45

Video Game Cheats - Video Game Reviews - Video Game Codes - Video Game Web Site - GameFAQs is worth a look.

is it obvious when you should bribe someone? ive just started this game recently and havent quite sussed out that wheel of bribery business yet. I did try it on a guard, he was very happy not suprising really seeing as he bled me dry...

Invisible, when you get the wheel up you highlight where you want to start (the bigger the colour quarter the more points it is worth).
Before you start using it move the control stick to highlight a quarter then look at the characters' face (they will scowl ,smile or give a neutral look) then you start (if they smile when you highlight the joke quarter try and get the biggest colour quarter into the joke quarter for more points) but obviously try to get the smallest colour quarter in the thing they don't like (indicated by them scowling).

Not particularly the best explanation i know but hopefully you'll see what i mean if you try it.

everything you will ever need to know about oblivion

yeah i understand i think...so it didnt help that it was dark and i couldnt see his face very well :D

Get yourself a night eye spell or ring that will help:)

Or just listen to their reaction, i assume you had the sound turned on :)


The bribery option is if you're too lazy and too rich to try the wheel :p

You could get shivering isle and waste another 30-40hrs :D

think ive got about 1000gps atm oh & im hording too much stuff...is there a cart i dump my booty into? :D

If you buy yourself a house, you can store your stuff in there :)

Complete the Benirus Manor quest in Anvil (Where spirits have lease), this gives you a free house :-)

And believe me you will need it with the amount of stuff you hoarde over the 100-120hrs playing time.

Did they ever patch the item dupe cheat?

Yes they did, but it can be removed by clearing the hd cache and playing offline.

Apart from the $5000 is costs you initially anyway.

lol, So it does, it was around 120hrs ago when i got it couldnt remember, still a bargain at 5k tho :)

Just playing this now. The dev team do seem to have an evil sense of humour...

If you are playing the 360 version and want the achievements then when you come to the quest to become either the duke of mania or duke of dementia, then save the game, as you only get the option to make one choice, so play one mission get the achievement, then reload and play the other option ;)

How many points are up for grabs on shivering isle ?

250 i think, i've got 200 and 1 remaining achievement to do, altho it adds points to oblivion, so i've got 1200.

How do I start the shivering isles quest? I have downloaded it yet when i load my game nothing comes up.

Go to your main game and you will eventually get a message saying something like 'There are is a strange portal in Nibenay Bay' then you have to get there (can't fast travel to the exact point as you haven't found it yet).

I just went to one of my houses and slept for 24 hours. When I woke up, it told me about the new portal...
