Why do all of you want to sit down on your asses and not do other stuff? I understand how big this game is.. Morrowind is sorta like that.. I am saying, if you play 2 horus a day, imagine how many years it would take to finish?

I am just stating my opinion.. You enjoy this game guys!

What the f*ck kind of comment is that? I want to play it because it's fun. It's addictive. I work all the time and when I come home I want to relax and have fun.

Why do you go around making an ass of yourself in every thread? Did you ever wonder why no one likes you? Knock it the hell off.

BACK TO THE TOPIC!

I don't have the game BTW...

Anyways... I'm curious about these Oblivion gates... I know that as part of the main quest, you're supposed to close them. I was curious how many gates there were, and how you're supposed to close them. Is it different for each gate or..?

Peanut says that its stated that there are 16 but he thinks hes closed more than that, and who knows some might be secret and get special points, but all the gates are pretty much the same, different layout and buildings slightly, different setup, different monsters sometimes, but the way you close them, all the same, get to the top of the tower, and take a stone out of the holder, and presto, gate closed.

So far I've run into...way too many of them. I've closed at LEAST 16 so far. Oblivion gates are basically gates to the plains of Hell. In each one there's a tower, at the very top of the tower is a stone called a Sigil Stone. To close the gate you have to remove the stone.

The ways up to the top of the tower is mostly the same. There are several levels in each tower, filled with different types of Daedra and various traps. Each tower is basically the same in design, some exactly the same, but the outside areas are all fairly different. Some gates require you to make it to the top of 2, 3 or sometimes 5 smaller towers to flip switches and open gates, extend bridges etc., just to get to the main tower. While some require you to traverse caverns in order to get from one island of land, over to another where the towers is.

Honestly, the Oblivion gates have become something of a task now. The enemies continue to get stronger and more varied, but I'm just kind of tired of them. There seems like there's an endless supply of gates all over the world. Some of them are pretty fun, especially when a quest is involved with the gate, like saving a Counts son and his snotty knight friends from inside the gate. They're still kind of fun, but they're wearing thin. Luckily everything else in the game is perfect.

Just need to mention I found the best item ever yesterday. The Skeleton Key. It's an un-breakable lockpick that adds a +40 to your Security skill. Yes, that's right. A +40!!!!

*Duke* · 03-27-2006, 08:33 PM

Dang I need one of those.

Holy sh*t! Was that a random dungeon drop, or was it quest-related? I gotta get me one of those!
