Elder Scrolls V SKYRIM !! 11-11-11

Getting hunted down for murdering someone's family is acceptable.

But having a random guard chasing you halfway across the world, only to attack you in a dungeon while you are low on health and looting dead bodies of your enemies is not.

I stole some goods to sell to the fence in Bruma, and some guard followed me all the way to a dungeon outside Bravil.

I did mean the family will hunt you down. If you were in the middle of the woods and came accross a small hut and you were to kill someone and their family witness it, they will hunt you(the family). I assume if you're in a town and murder someone, they'd attempt to tell a gaurd and they'd pursue you in the town and close proximity, I can confirm though that gaurds on the opposite side of the world will not know your wrong doings from a previous town.

Things like that make me laugh, it's dumb, but looking back on that it's funny. I like putting myself in that NPC guards shoes, what would he be thinking, what are his limits, how mad is he that you stole some apples?

 

[Jacko28]

The battle for Bruma made me laugh in Oblivion. I don't think any of the NPC's died from the dremora's, they died by their supposed saviors accidental hand :S

You could have yielded to him, paid your fine, and he would have left you alone. Or you could stop breaking the law.

 

[techtard]

I know exactly what he was thinking.

STOP CRIMINAL SCUM!

The funny thing was that I hightailed it before a guard could get to me and lay the speech on me. But the little bastard followed me halfway across the country.

Being confronted about stealing some guys silverware in a dungeon was a pretty WTF moment tho. LOL

@Jacko28 Nice to hear they put some work into changing the AI. That is one huge weight off my mind.
Now I gotta go back and load up some Oblivion. Gotta get ready for Skyrim!

Do you have the Avatar of Akatosh mount mod installed? Probably get you even more ready

 

[techtard]

Not yet I don't. But I will tonight.
Ax wielding Nord berserker, here I come!

Uh yeah might as well install "No Psychic Guards" while you're at it.

THIS. One major reason why I appreciate Bethesda having mod tools for the community for fixes such as this.

Last night I was plying Oblivion and was completing random quests out in the wilderness. Exploring caves and such, then came to the town only to discover that I had forgotten about my 7000 gold bounty on my head... haha! Eventually I managed to sneak over to the Water Front District at the Imperial City and start the thieves guild quest line and pay off my fines.

 

[TheLaughingMan]

My record is 74,000 for starting a war in the Imperial City. My side won.

 

[BumbleBee]

don't underestimate the guards level of commitment

I knew I had gone to far when guards from other cities started showing up to stop me once most of the city guards were dead. I had a lot of help though. It was good to be the Arch Listener Knights of the Nine Champion Fighter's Guild Master Mage Grey Fox the Prince of Madness. I had more power than the King by the end of it all.

This is literally the only reason I even managed to play through the game. BEST MOD.

Also level scaling was not handled so well, Fallout did much better. By the time you were high level in fallout you actually felt like a walking demi-god, not a weak piece of shit that gets chased by 10 bandits in otherworldly armor and weaponry. The Kvach battle became nearly fucking impossible later on if you did it way later, you'd fight mega monsters and shit and unless you were comically decked out (read: completely broke the game through stupid enchantments), it was pretty much way harder than if you just did it at level 2.

Mods really did save Oblivion. I don't like radical gameplay changes usually but some shit was just completely retarded unmodded.


Also I liked how you could steal armor and shit from the barracks and some guards would have to go pantsless for the day.

 

[BumbleBee]

some OT news

The Heavy is Dragon Born

Bethesda almost did a Game of Thrones game

Game of Thrones won its first-ever Emmy this year for its title sequence

While I agree about leveling system sucking balls in Oblivion, I never found the Kvatch battle to be difficult at all and I think I never did it before level 40.

It was difficult to do it without getting the other people killed, but fighting was relatively easy for me. But yeah I've heard that the allies who fight on the battle have the same level regardless of yours (while enemies do level) so they probably help something when you are low level.

On my first play through they'd all die in a matter of seconds. On my next playthroughs I created some very powerful spells to use on them. One was something like: restore health 10 points + shield 50 + fortify endurance 25 + fortify blade skill 25, all for 30 seconds. And I was constantly casting this on every ally, then rushing and killing the enemies with my super enchanted weapons.

 

[yogurt_21]

if you do the "give me every spell" cheat and use the arena restoring pool on them they never die lol.

nor did any of my other allies.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Yeah I saw that about Bethesda on Blues News. I was totally like "Awwww damn" but I can understand why they passed.

 

[techtard]

Just tried out the no psychic guards mod.
This is how the game should have been released.

Here's to hoping that they still let the community do mods and not lock out the users in favor of paid DLC.
