Aquatic Elves in Oblivion look very familer!

[Glamador]

Yea I completed the Mage's Guild questline first, took me a day and a half.  The main quest line isn't THAT short but compared to the overall scope of the game...yea it's short.  The thing is, for any character you make not only do you have the main quest, but every character has at least 1 guild to join (2 if you're a stealthy character) and if you bought Shivering Isles that's another 30-50 hours of play right there.  The game is seriously incredible in it's size.  Besides, the Main Quest is just to justify it being an adventure and not just "run around Cyrodil for 200 hours having fun".

[Alphasoldier]

What do you mean has at least one guild to join, I joined EVERY guild and I didn't even touched a walkthrough, they all just came towards me, most of the time anyway.

Aaaand I still mourn for the Quests of the Dark Brotherhood, I hated the Purification quest, I spend about 2 or 3 hours to find some sort of way to find the real culprit. =[

But yeah, I think I might try that Shivering Isles expansion too. Do I need to make a new character orr...?

[Glamador]

Nope, you can use your old characters.  In fact I always wait until at LEAST level 10 before going to the Shivering Isles because the quest rewards are so damned good.  But when given the choice be sure to side with Mania if you like magic and Dementia if you like stealth.

And I mean from a role-playing perspective there's at least 1 guild.  Sure you can join them all, but what fun is sneaking around when you built your character to pummel?  And why would a pure fighter join the mage's guild?  Sure you CAN join all of them, but I usually make a character designed towards pursuing a certain path.  That's totally your choice though.

[Glamador]

Sorry for the bump, but I just thought you guys might like to see my pure mage, Naija.



She's 32 and specializes in Conjuration of Gloom Wraiths and uses a one/two punch destruction combo that first weakens defense to magic and lightning, then follows up with a DOT shock spell on touch.  She gets right up close and personal.  If I really wanted to role play, I guess I would summon plant creatures and only use ranged fire spells (I would shoot wierd projectiles like in beast form...but I'm limited to frost, fire, lightning).  But here she is.

Nice. That almost counts as fan-art.

[Alphasoldier]

Nice pic but I really wonder what that public call police box thing is. :p

And I think the color of her skin is different, but that just might be me being colorblind.

Seriously nice though.

[Glamador]

Ah I was hoping somebody would notice that.  I'm using a mod that makes a useable TARDIS appear by the Arcane University.  You can use it to transport yourself all over Cyrodil and it comes with spellmaking and enchanting altars.  But I don't consider it cheating because Frostcrag Spire (which comes packaged with Knights of the Nine) gives the exact same amenities.

[Alphasoldier]

Few more questions...

Teleport or transport? Without wasting time?
Wtf is TARDIS?
Frostcrag Spire packaged with Knights of Nine?

[Glamador]

Oh...since you noticed the Police Box thing I just figured you for a fan of Doctor Who.  the TARDIS is his spaceship, that appears on the outside to be a police box.  Frostcrag spire is one of the official plugins that you get in a package along with Knights of the Nine, another official plugin that's just a bit larger than the others.  And yes, teleport without wasting in-game time.  Very useful.

If you got the Game of the Year edition of Oblivion it comes with all the plugins as well as Shivering Isles.  Dunno why you didn't just get that one since it's 60 bucks nowadays.

Very nice Glamador and I love your Tardis, I am a long time Dr Who fan right from the very first episode
Just one critique if you don't mind?
Looking at her feet and the size of the paving and then looking at your Tardis it makes your Naija a giant with the Tardis coming to just under her shoulders was this meant to happen?

[Glamador]

Hahaha, no no no.  She's not actually that tall.  I was in the menu screen (which allows you to rotate and view your character) and the way the menu works is that it superimposes the character model over the normal gamescreen.  Funny how I managed to crop it to look like she's standing there...amusing.  Here's an updated picture with some other angles.



Keep in mind I didn't make that TARDIS mod or her clothing, those were just my choices of mods.  The Elder Scrolls Nexus is the best place for mods (and I betcha if you can think of it, there's a mod for it).

[silverflagon]

Oh I see Glamador, and there I was thnking that your avatar was a giantess as well as a Mage lol This Oblivion sounds very involved so perhaps it's best that I avoid it I have very little time to spare as it is 

[inkblob]

you wove Aquaria & Dr. Who into a seamless blanket of awesomeness, good job 

[Glamador]

Well that's just because I like both those things and decided to use them in Oblivion.  If you want to thank somebody then thank the folks over at TESNexus.com for providing the goodies for me to weave into my game's world.

STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM! D:<
