Hey, does anyone know where I can upload pics for hosting that will stay at the original 1280 x 1024? It's driving me nuts. Everytime I upload a big beautiful pic, it ends up being small.

TwoRails · 04-01-2006, 05:37 PM

Those are some nice shots, trowand! I'm putting that one on my list!! (Just got FEAR as a present, so I'll start that one today

FEAR is great - I am certain you will enjoy it.

Nice screen shots - the game looks awesome - I can't wait till I make it back to the US to purchase it.

kingsownall · 04-01-2006, 06:09 PM

fear is a great game. nicely done havok engine and stuff. the story is what compelled me tho.

Turbo91Bird · 04-06-2006, 10:19 AM

So whats this game all about? Is it like WoW but better graphics?

Only single player though with a very good story line. Pretty much open ended too.

Jaggannath · 04-15-2006, 07:51 PM

Looks great, some of the adversary pics are pretty good too

Strider · 04-16-2006, 07:43 AM

Beautiful Graphics - I sometimes just steal a horse and ride aroound to look at the scenery.
Open Game Play - I like that for I'm not tied down to doing one quest.

So far the only complaint I have is the way the combat is handle, I find it a little clumsly - by this I mean if my character is at 3rd person view I have to get into 1st person view by pressing the R button (I always seem to forget to do this). However, I really haven't sat down and play a good session, so hopefully this will change when I do.

Strider, you can change the controls to your likings, somewhere in the options menu.

786ARS · 04-17-2006, 06:20 AM

nice pics, btw, how do i enable screenshots, i have an uber dark elf battlemage with an Umbra sword (best in the game)

jfk · 04-17-2006, 09:33 AM

Nah, Umbra isn't the best sword in the game. In fact, I find it useless since it constantly fills soul gems with lesser souls. Get ahold of the Goldbrand. THAT is a sweet sword, and will own Umbra.

786ARS · 04-17-2006, 11:03 AM

i dunno, if you use the unlimeted soul gem, it 0wns Goldbrand.
BTW, when you do the burma recomendation, i have already completed the task, yet the game thinks i havnt, but the charecters say that i have.

jfk · 04-17-2006, 02:06 PM

Oh, I do have Azuras Star, but I'll still take Goldbrand over Umbra. Doesn't matter though, I'm at the point where I own all the houses and money is easy to come by, so I pretty much keep everything I get except armor and common weapons. I have chest full of enchanted stuff I'll probably never use, but I'm a packrat and can't bring myself to sell it. I actually have both the good swords, and when I go in Oblivion gates I take both. I beat the crap out of them with Goldbrand, then use Umbra to refill Azuras star and recharge Goldbrand. Works great.

786ARS · 04-17-2006, 04:01 PM

ive only done the clavicus vile shrine, so no goldbrand. umbra model looks nice, but how do i do screenies?

TwoRails · 04-17-2006, 06:19 PM

Yes, nice shots, ztx... makes me want to go get a copy, but I'll have to wait till budget allows... ;(

flawedreality5 · 04-17-2006, 08:01 PM

I also want to know how to take screenshots. I really don't feel like installing FRAPS again. I didn't like that program. Is that what everyone is using?

ztx · 04-17-2006, 08:22 PM

Nah, you just need to edit the .ini file.

Quote:

Taking Oblivion Screenshots 101 (IMG:style_emoticons/2/grad.gif)
Contributors: Hannah, Archeopterix, LadyCallipyge, Lon Lon Link, CCNA, Monica21, Ronginus, and SC_Wolf

It is important to note that enabling screenshots in Oblivion is slightly different than it was in Morrowind. There are two .ini files for Oblivion, one in the game install directory and another in your My Documents directory. The one in My Documents is the one you'll need to change. Detailed instructions below:

-----------
1. Exit Oblivion

2. Find the Oblivion.ini file in My Documents\My Games\Oblivion

NOTE: Oblivion_default.ini in Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion is NOT the one you're looking for!

3. Make a copy of the .ini file. It is very important to make a back-up copy of the .ini file in case of errors.

4. Open the Oblivion.ini file in Notepad

5. Find the line "bAllowScreenShot=0" and change it to "bAllowScreenShot=1"

6. Save your changes and close Notepad

7. Start Oblivion as usual

8. When you want to take a screenshot, press the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard – it's usually to the right of your F-keys. If successful, you should see a large message in the upper-left of your screen that says "ScreenShot: File 'ScreenShot0.bmp' created." Everytime you take a screenshot, Oblivion will create a new .bmp with a new filename (one number larger than the previous screenshot).

9. All screenshots are stored as .bmp files in the root of your Oblivion directory. Unless you changed the install directory during the installation of Oblivion, it should be in C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion

Taken from offical Bethesda fourms.

flawedreality5 · 04-17-2006, 10:04 PM

Terrific. Thanks.

ztx · 04-17-2006, 11:20 PM

Quick ss of testing out this dual wielding mod before I go to bed. D:

http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?i...nshot311oa.jpg

Though, theres only one left handed sword, and you don't really fight with two swords, but it does fortify some stats and such. Should be interesting if anyone plans to make a melee character on an offensive build. Hopefully a better mod will come out with more swords, and better looking.

786ARS · 04-18-2006, 06:33 AM

with dual weilding, could you do that with an Umbra and Goldbrand?

ztx · 04-18-2006, 11:07 AM

Its possible, but the mod only offers 1 offhand elven sword. :\

ztx · 04-24-2006, 10:14 PM

Woah, found a whole bunch of new mods with some amazing weapons. Sorry for double post, can't seem to edit my current.

Final Fantasy 7 AC: Cloud's Tsuguri - Sword has amazing detail..

http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2...nshot627di.jpg - This one is a more balanced version. The other one I tried, was like 181 Dmg and attack speed was blazing fast like a dagger, wiped out the guards in one hit..

Other Parts of the First Tsuguri..

The fire seen on the Dragon Buster is from an enchantment mod.

Hope you guy's enjoy. Here's some good places to find mods.

Be warned, some mods can mess up your game/conflict with one another, ect, always back up your saves. If you need any help, I'll try to do my best to help!

Has anybody played this on the 360? I read that while the graphics were pretty similar to the pc version, the load times were horrendous. This true?
