THAT HAPPENED TO ME ON MY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH ALSO. Like srsly. I had no smurfing idea you could be a vampire. Apparently you can turn into a Werewolf in Morrowind, but Oblivion is my first Elder Scrolls game, so I wasn't accustom to it's amazing gameplay mechanics. So I ended up sleeping and wondering what the hell happened when I got attacked by some blood-thirsty monster. D: And it is an awesome game, mate. That's a fun word. Mate. Anyway, about the money thing. There's definitely an exploit that lets you duplicate items. You might wanna beat it the honest way first though. :3
I HATE IT I'M A VAMPIRE AND CAN'T FIND THE INGREDIENTS FOR A CURE AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE WEAPONS AND ARMOUR I WANT AND I HAVE TO BRIBE PEOPLE TO MAKE THEM LIKE ME Awesome game mate
How fairs Oblivion? My friend came over this week and we downloaded all of the DLC. It really is amazing. The Vile Lair is my favourite. :3
I think I saved outside the sewers so if I want a different character I'll have to start over completely
Then, you save just before you exit the sewers and leave that save forever. When you want to make a new file, just load that save and you start over with the tutorial completed and a pretty much stock character. I love this game. You will too. It's amazing.
So you'll just have to dedicate your first level to Stealth (in the case where you snuck through the tutorial). I made a new file when I learned how levels worked and went through the entire tutorial training only Athletics, Acrobatics, and Sneak (Athletics go up automatically over time, so that's a given; Acrobatics go up a little when you fall off of the various surfaces to get to the Emperor, so I chose that as second; Sneak was pretty vital during the tutorial to make sure that you don't have to fight any enemies - fighting increasing one of your offensive skills - so that the three skills were the only ones that went up [Although, doing that ensures that you don't finish the tutorial quest, but the tutorial itself]), that way I could dedicate my first level up to those three skills, the first two skills being expected in every game and the third being undetrimental to the course of my level-ups after that despite what character I might choose to use in future games.
Oh yeah, the tutorial is really long and pretty tedious. :S I suggest making a save at the sewer exit and never writing over it, just in case you want to start over again. That way you don't have to worry about playing through the entire tutorial again. Of course, you'll have to stick with skills that you trained throughout the tutorial (if you snuck through the whole thing, you'll be stuck with anywhere from 5-10 levels Sneak). Which is okay if you want to play the same kind of character, but in order to max all of your attributes out without having to go to jail repeatedly to lower your skills, you need to make sure that you're really strict about the way that you level up.
I've only played the tutorial part but I like it so far.
Woo! How went it? O:
I'll find out for myself later today
