I know a few glitches for infinte money if at any time your short on cash

1: complete the cure for vamprisim quest and afterwars talk to the count and select the reward option for 1000 gold but the reward option wont disappear so just keep selectin reward over and over for 1000 gold each time.

2: go to the camp outside of kvatch and mount your horse go talk to the orc merchant and sell your equiped weapon you'll get you gold but you'll still have your weapon so rinse and repeat.

3:in the imperial city talos plaza lives an npc named dorian go to his house bribe him to increase his gold and kill him search his corpse for his gold take it and it wont disappear repeat until your need for cash is satisfied.

(I have seen these work but can't do them myself damn xbox live patches!):flames:

If you use system maitenince, all patches have to be re downloaded.

Tell me more DK...

Daxter King 06-19-2007 03:19 PM

Go to the system Dashboard Blade, go to memory, highlight the Harddrive. Then press Y, then press x,x, left bumper, right bumper, x,x. It will ask to run system maintenance, select yes. You then have to re download all game patches, I've done it, it doesn't screw up anything important.

Thanks DK!;)

Please excuse the double post but anyway
Does anyone know about any secret groups you can become part of?
e.g white stallions, vertious blood ect.

mitsur 06-22-2007 02:22 PM

Well, I maxed out my rep with the Dark Brotherhood, the Mage Guild, and the Fighter's Guild. I dunno about any other groups.

Strike Witch 06-23-2007 05:54 AM

You get them from quests, this isn't Morrowind where you can actually find decent stuff.

Yeah, I tend to have the same reaction after trudging through one of Oblivion's pointless cookie-cutter dungeons with only a handful of gold and a bunch of shitty potions to show for it.

Good thing they added more random loot to Oblivion. That was a total improvement over Morrowind.

Daxter King 06-24-2007 06:26 PM

Morrowind suxorz.

Does that even make sense? You referenced Oblivion twice..

Levelled loot sucks in my opinion, it makes absolutely no sense, why should a ton of bandits suddenly have full Daedric because I do?

SeaRex 06-24-2007 10:35 PM

Boy. I sure did.

Because I was being sarcastic. I was agreeing with you.

Sarcastically.

*sigh*

People say stuff like thise, then they 'snore' at Morrowind. You are exempt because you like the wind.

Wtfjuice!

I like modding for Morrowind. Haven't tried Oblivion yet, as the computer I use has a GeForce 5600 (lol at me).

speed the scrab 06-25-2007 02:05 PM

Done any interesting mods?

mitsur 06-25-2007 07:55 PM

In some ways, I prefer Morrowind. In others, I pefer Oblivion.

Oblivion wins graphics-wise hands down, obviously. I also liked how you were able to keep track of quests, unlike the shitty journal Morrowind had. The end-game equipment was also better, because, as I've said before, Morrowind gave you a crap ring for beating the boss guy. I liked being able to ride a horse instead of running much as well. Another point in Oblivion's favor is the sense of location. In Oblivion I quickly became famililar with the cities and towns. In Morrowind I was constantly, hopelessly lost.

But Morrowind wins in the story factor. It is tons more in-depth. While I wasn't able to identify with the Morrowind characters as much as I did with Oblivion, they weren't as one-sided. The exploration was also much better, because, like Sea Rex said, the dungeons weren't cookie-cutters of the same ruins or cave like Obivion. The equipment also looked much more badass. Sure, in Oblivion I was wearing full Daedra armor, but it was more like 'Wow, that's hawt' one time, then, 'Eh, it's kinda cool.' Then it was, 'Wow, I look like a total ****ing retard running around in this shit.'

Another big point in Morrowind is that you're crazy unstoppable when you fully buff yourself up and use the bound weapon summoning. Then you annihilate any and every enemy in your way.

Then there's the fact that you can actually kill people involved in the plot in Morrowind, instead of 'knocking them out' in Oblivion. And the worst part is that almost everyone I got bored and tried to kill in Oblivion ended up being part of the plot. Lamest anti-kill mechanic ever.

It's still a toss up which one I like better, though.

Wow, I really need to think about these things before I post.

I'm currently undecided about buying the expansions for Oblivion, I like Oblivion, but I don't know If I like it enough..

Alf Shall Rise 06-26-2007 10:52 AM

They're good! Shivering Isles is great...Shergorath (sp?) is so funny. "Why look who it is! You! How bout that?"

speed the scrab 06-28-2007 01:35 PM

This may be going off topic but im refering back to my origenal post about other groups and during my travels i'll list all i've found

order of the vertious blood: gives money for vampire dust
knights of the white stallion: gives money for slaying black bow bandits
order of the dragon/champion of cyrodiil: gives acsess to imperial armory

I may find more later but anyway...

does anyone know what you do in the knights of the nine expansion pack?

mitsur 06-28-2007 02:16 PM

Oh yeah, I fogot about the dragon armor. I just slept until I got it. It was pretty cool looking.

speed the scrab 06-29-2007 08:05 AM

It looks good doesn't it?
but the only problem with it is that its type sometimes varies
so sometimes it's light and sometimes its heavy.

Salamander 06-29-2007 04:10 PM

I'm pretty sure you obtain a light/heavy version depending on which on of your armour skills is higher.

Laser 07-01-2007 02:21 AM

what are those different groups you speak of?

speed the scrab 07-01-2007 02:48 PM

The're minor groups unlike the fighters ,mages ,theives guild they are not well known.

on that note i've stumbled along some more groups along my travels

mythic dawn(temporary)
blackwood(temporary)

knight of the thorn: this one is hard to join simply because you have to do a b***h of a task : you must get farwil indarys out of the cheydenhal oblivion gate alive which is hard well anyone who's been there knows what im talking about.

On the plus side you get a free kott medalion(fortify speechcraft 5pts) use of the kott lodge and a choice of two leveled weapons off count indarys
the thornblade(disintgrate armour) or the staff of indarys(damage strength + shock damage) and your standard gold.

Ariona 07-04-2007 05:25 PM

I still play it. I like Oblivion very much, but after finishing the main part it gets more and more boring. I have done the most achievements so far (like mage group). I want to buy the expansions but I'm not sure if it is worth buying...

AHHHHHHHH! Oblivion? Boring? Stop right there criminal scum. The expansions are awesome. Worth buying. You should also get the PC version. You'll never get bored. Thousands of mods to download, updates everyday. It's incredible. And the Xbox 360 version isn't that boring (I have both). Don't try to get the achievements right away...you have a whole world to play in. Do whatever almost -- only a few limited things.
