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..?

*JameO* · 03-26-2006, 10:50 PM

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.

Peanut · 03-26-2006, 10:54 PM

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.

愛 · 03-28-2006, 12:32 AM

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

~~Turtledude2k3~~ · 03-28-2006, 09:21 AM

That skeleton key sure is nice! I wish I had this game.. Say how many hours have you guys been playign this.. Don't worry, I'm not here to argue with you guys.. Considering I got another warning, I am not going to ask why.. I can't do anything bad this time..

Quest related. Head out of Leyawinn headed North East. If you come up against that Inn, (I forget the name I think it's Ill Omen or something to that affect) you went too far. Anyways, North East from Leyawinn is a Daedra shrine. You need to be at least level 10 to get the quest. Talk to the big statue and the Daedra God will give you a quest to find her missing "eye". Super easy quest. The only thing you'll have to kill is about 2 trolls. After you get the quest, talk to a guard in Leyawinn about rumors and he'll start you off on the track for the eye.

Oh, that's mad badass. I gotta get that quest tonight. Thanks for the info. I hate breaking lockpicks.

Peanut · 03-29-2006, 11:36 AM

I beat the main quest last night. I seriously felt so sad I thought I would cry. So depressing, but on the plus side...NO MORE OBLIVION GATES! Time to explore!

gah! you beaten the main story already? I didn't expect you tbeat it that quickly.

Say how many hours have you been playing and have you unlocked any acheivements yet?

Peanut · 03-29-2006, 06:17 PM

41 hours and something minutes. I've unlocked all the main quest achievments and all the Dark Brotherhood and Arena achievments. It should be noted that I've explored less than 1/4th of the game world and I've played little to none of the three main guilds. I still have a ton to do and without those damn Oblivion gates it'll be a lot better.

So much left and over 40+ hours into it...and to think this game is even set up for DLC! w00t!

*JameO* · 03-29-2006, 09:46 PM

I havent played in like 2 days, school and work taking my time, but tommorow and all day Friday off I shall get back into it, and I will probably complete the main quest just to get rid of the oblvion gates as well, but ive been playing the Mages Guild with my newest character to get into the university to make my own spells, and to be an insane mage. Ive got a good 26 hours into this game, and alot more soon once my time frees back up.
