It was only meant as a test bench, but ended up being the one I was. The character I had when I first played through Oblivion was an Imperial, don't ask me why. I modeled them after the character I played in Morrowind, which was a Dark Elf Battlemage with a tude but still able to move faster than an orc and much more better looking than the orcs Anyway, since Dark Elves are old norse mythology, and I was a bit confused by which one was the battlemages, I decided to go for a Nord this time(since I'm a Nord in real life too ). I made a new character, since I lost the old one when I lost the save games. However, looting and selling ebony, glass, and Daedric armour is far more lucrative. When b isn't cave crawling or on quests, she does thieving at only the most posh residences. If it's a necromancer or some other foe with magic powers, b lets them be distracted by her summoned creature then goes behind them and silences them by touch or range, which takes their magic away for at least ten seconds, giving both b and her creature a window to strike them down. When it's a trained enemy with sword, shield, and armour, she touches them with magic to disintegrate their armour, then their weapon, and the summoned creature has a much better chance to kill them. She usually lets her creature wear the enemy down first while she sneaks behind them and strikes them from that angle, their weak spot. But she's a Master of Conjuration and most often engages her attackers in a combination of sneak (invisibility behind a corner) and ambush with her ally of either mythic creature or undead one.

It's more fun for me to bash and clash and zap I guess.Д«, my shocking acid green haired female Wood Elf, is similar. I've always wanted to try an agile, sneaky, swift type, but I always end up wanting a heavy hitter with devastating magic.

Ah, well, perhaps I'll spend the time to finish Oblivion again and the Shivering Isles sometime during this summer(if I am really REALLY bored.)ДЄre you replaying it with the same character or a different one? It might be more interesting for you with a completely different type perhaps. Even though I can still visit Shivering Isles, I got stuck on the second main quest in Shivering Isles(Damn you feldew! damn you to heck!), and ended up shelving Shivering Isles. Needles to say, it's not so much fun to play it now, when I have already done everything(and I mean EVERYTHING) before. When Shivering Isle hit the shelf I started the game over from the beginning. Now the game runs so smooth, but I've finished it already a long time ago and I've lost my old save games. Also, I had a problem with that this game made my soundcard spew out all kind of weird noices(it sounded like nails on a blackboard) after a few hours of playing.ДЄnyway, I ended up upgrading a lot of parts on this computer -and in the end it turned out that it was the CPU that was the big bottleneck. I'm sad we didn't get the play the whole game like that, but thankfully there's still a lot to do, and just starting out with Shivering Isles.Д¬ool! I had the same thing when I played through Oblivion even though my computer was better than that, and I could run it with the settings set at 'high' quality, the game would stutter a bit while I was in battles or when people used a lot of magic. Now we can play it at 1280x1024 res with all detail settings turned to their maximum levels and nary a stutter in sight. We basically used to run it at 640x480, no shadows, distant lands off, tweaked to death by following a pupular tweak guide online, grass replaced with low poly version, only 2x anisotropic filtering and a whole bunch of other detail settings turned way down. Woohoo, got our new system, and playing Oblivion again.
