Watch it, guy.A buddy is coming over so we can trade off. Need time for ####tails...Holy crap. I played 2.5 hrs of BF2 last night and that was a lot for me.Starting at 8pm, I'm going to log some major time. A good 8+ hours, anyway...Dang, you guys play a lot more than me.

Varla stones recharge all your magic items. Weyland stones magicka.Anybody know what Varla stones do, besides make you rich? I'm wondering if I should hang on to the two I have.
Just got my first magic weapon, some kind of burning axe (does blunt damage
Been playing for 12 straight hours today - made 7th level.
How the crap do you cast it on yourself?Almost right... Good idea to create your own, but in Oblivion you can't just cast them at a wall anymore.. they have to affect something/somebody.. ie fireball has to cast on self.. not wall.. doesn't hurt that bad. I meanNot that I'd know.
Hang on to them.. from the bit of experimenting I've done they do refill everyting.. and that's Very expensive.. 1 gold per point at the guild.. Not hard to have 3-4 items that you use on a dungen dive.. and have to pay 4k to refill.. Sidenote.. I've been using hammers and soul gems during dungen diving. and it's alot easier.. everything was broken prior.. fix before broke.. now if I could just repair my magic items.. I'd be self sufficient.. Does Expert Armourer get to repair Magic Items. .anyone know?Anybody know what Varla stones do, besides make you rich? I'm wondering if I should hang on to the two I have.

I just made some.. you have to get access to the Mages guild at the Capital.. then you can make your own. hold On.. I'll get the right names....... Arcane University.. at the Chironasium.. AKA Enchanting Center.. new enchanted cloths, armour, rings, and stuff next. heheHow the crap do you cast it on yourself?Almost right...

More specifically to the on self. you get to choose up to three .. I think they are target, touch, and self.. for effect or some such. choose self.. and you are done... Access to Arcane U.. is after the recommendation quests. .How the crap do you cast it on yourself?Almost right...

I have been using the weyland stones and soul gems a lot to recharge in dungeon dives. I have 3 Varla stones so far saved up (I actually found TWO in one Aeylund ruin) but my frost bow and ice sword are about drained.Hang on to them.. from the bit of experimenting I've done they do refill everyting.. and that's Very expensive.. 1 gold per point at the guild..

I do have about 15K saved up now, though. I still haven't bought a house, though. When you can rest in a guild house, it seems superfluous. All I carry now are my sword, armor, bow and lots of arrows. I am now to the point of using Dwarven and Elven arrows exclusively.
Anyone?Also, there is a non-quest dungeon southwest of IMp. City (Fanacasecul). Has anyone done it? There is a gate on the first level with a pressure plate right in front of it, but the gate won't open and I've searched ALL OVER on how to proceed...I'm stuck. Anyone?Made my first *big* oops in the game last night...
**Minor Spoiler**
Just joined the Fighter's Guild with my Ranged Assassain/Thief and headed out to deliver the weapons to the guys out at the Desolate Mine. Well, I sneak in there, as usual and have my Night-Eye ring on, and I notice 3 well armored "bandits" just inside. So I proceed to take them out, 1 by 1, but it's odd...none of them have weapons, just using H2H against me. Ok, whatever, so I proceed in. I take an hour to clear the dungeon, getting ganged up at times by 2 or 3 goblins at a time and really raising my Blade and Light Armor skill and loving it.
Only, when I get back to town, I get kicked out of the guild for killing a guild brother.
Those 3 guys that didn't have weapons, yeah, they were Fighter's Guild guys.Oops. Anyone get kicked out of the Fighter's Guild?

hmm.. 2 items to add.. I did encounter a bug. My Merchintile.. (sp) froze after I rescued the daughter.. flat would not move... and I was selling a bunch of stuff..

. Positive effect for jewlery, neg for weapons. That said, does anyone else find the oblivion gates less appealing than the rest of the game? It just feels to me like I step out of this incredible world and into a 3rd-rate Doom mod.
I have read that alot of people are having that issue with pressure plates in the game. I think its a bug. Some would use the no clip cheat and take care of it that way. You can turn off clipping temporarally by toggling the console (~ key on the PC) and entering "TCL". Just do it again to turn clipping off.Anyone?Also, there is a non-quest dungeon southwest of IMp.

I'm still working on it myself. It's a real pain in the neck. (Get it? Vampire. Pain in the neck.) You cannot fast travel outdoors because you're taking damage. I like how they make it so bright outdoors that it actually "feels" painful. I've got the gems and the vampire she wanted killed (who was remarkably easy to kill, BTW) but still have to gather a bunch of plants.
in need of help here. I went to install my new video card (ATI Radeon X1300, which is supported. Got a good deal and it was affordable) and got a black screen in response. I followed the destructions to the letter, but no go. Here's what I've done so far: on!
Nothing to add other than GL and hope you get it worked out.This game is simply incredible.Still no luck - can't get anything but a black screen when I put the new vid card in
say goodbye to life for awhile.
I've logged over 25 hours of game time now and just last night made it to the 1st Oblivion gateI presume Oblivion is like Morrowind where you don't have to start the main quest right away (But damn, the gates are wide ### open! My character can't just let them SIT there! And there's no emporer!! Who's gonna run this place?)
I've succumbed (so far) to jumping into the main storyline & I can't get anything done. So I'm gonna lay off the main storyline until my character is halfway competent.
BTW, my wife loathes this game. Ah, well, what can you do?

Yeah, the Dark Brotherhood quests rock. There is a group of guys making a mod for the game to expand on the DB. I wont say too much cause I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't done all the quests yet.http://www.thedarkbrotherhood.com
Yeah, that's the one.***SPOILER***
So, you buy that house from the guy for $5G. you go there and sleep and get attacked by ghosts. you go downstairs and find the hand with the note and how you have to have a family member to do something in the basement on that illuminati bull#### spot in the basement. Cool, so I go look for the guy who sold it to me, track his ### down in Imperial City -- My quest says I just need to convince him to help me remove the curse. His disposition is at 100 with me and he just keeps telling me I need to do it myself. What's my next step here?
OK, some help with the cheap house you can buy in Anvil (quest 'Where Spirits Have Lease’):
SPOILERS, but I think several of you are past this part already:

I'll have to double check to be sure, but I'm pretty sure I did. Why, do those come into play there? I figured it would work with normal conversation like all the other quests do.OK, some help with the cheap house you can buy in Anvil (quest 'Where Spirits Have Lease’):

I am at 32 hours and lvl 8... but I haven't been sleeping because my stupid skills will level me into get my ### kicked range. I will probably be at lvl 15 when i sleep. Trying to get some fighting skills up first... I'll probably sleep twice when I get home to lvl 10 and see if I can still handle the bad guys.
