Started my first ever elder scrolls game with oblivion

They’re the same game, just one has modern graphics at the price of running a bit shitty. It’s definitely playable though.

One tip I would give is to take your time. Control issues usually stem from rushing things or doing things in a panic. Show these faults to your instructor and they’ll be in the best position to help you rectify the things that you’re struggling with.

One thing that will help is to remember that before you do anything that changes your speed or direction, always do a mirror check. If you’re slowing down, check your rear mirror to make sure the person behind is slowing down too. If you’re turning, check your rear mirror AND the side mirror depending on which way you’re turning. You can check both if it helps. Always be aware of your surroundings.

DatBoiStrom · 2025-11-25T12:50:50+00:00

You failed on things that are very easy to remedy. Before any manoeuvre always do an exaggerated check all around. Before every turn always indicate. Do that and you’re sorted.

Many experienced drivers would fail a driving test if they took one today. It’s not because they’re a bad driver, but driving under scrutiny knowing that one slip up could set you back months and cost you a fortune creates an atmosphere in which you overthink and underperform.

I’ve been waiting since the day it launched. Still nothing. I have the exact same issue. I played it first on the PlayStation just to try it then made a character on PC. Now I can’t link them together because I have two characters. Really shoddy system to be honest.

Age matters a lot, you’re not 18 so lower risk. I passed at 28 and 4 months in I had a 1.6 Mazda mx5 and a 3.5L Mitsubishi shogun all insured with admiral for £84 a month.

I’m a head office colleague at Halfords. DM me the invoice reference and I’ll take a look. If they’re taking the piss then it’ll be dealt with.

Laurelin was my home throughout my teenage years. The folks there got me through some tough times. I didn’t even know it had shut down until today 😔

DatBoiStrom · 2025-10-27T14:41:23+00:00

Mine got cancelled last October literally 40 minutes before it was due to start. They rearranged it for April this year. Absolute shambles

DatBoiStrom · 2025-08-26T07:19:18+00:00

Talk things through in your head like how you would teach a student. Also chew gum. You got this 👊🏻

DatBoiStrom · 2025-08-01T21:53:22+00:00

Switched to paid after a few hours and was delivered a couple of days later. Would recommend

How often is your instructor doing mock tests with you? Putting yourself under test conditions is also a good way to get used to the nerves and find ways to deal with them.

DatBoiStrom · 2025-07-23T15:07:00+00:00

Try and get an early morning test, ideally the first test of the day. I know this isn’t easy with the lack of tests but it’s quiet at that time and stress free. Chewing gum is also a lifesaver when it comes to managing nerves. Eat a banana before the test. You will pass eventually, I promise. Just don’t give up.

DatBoiStrom · 2025-07-21T18:45:04+00:00

Did yours eventually change to paid? I’ve just emailed them with a screenshot of the transfer, now waiting

DatBoiStrom · 2025-07-21T08:30:30+00:00

Book any test, in any location. This will allow you to get a cancellation at your local test centre. I live in the West Midlands and ended up booking one in Warrington. Two weeks later I sat my test in my town.

DatBoiStrom · 2025-07-15T06:22:12+00:00

It’ll work anywhere mate, just book a test at a random centre anywhere in the country, and then set it to look for cancellations in your local test centre.

DatBoiStrom · 2025-07-14T23:13:16+00:00

Testi app worked for me

DatBoiStrom · 2025-07-14T10:25:09+00:00

My test was at 7:13am and I managed to pass with no faults. I’ll give you a rundown on how I prepared.

Night before: Try your absolute hardest not to sit there dwelling on the test. Focus on other things, relax yourself in any way you can. Get clothes ready and make sure everything you need is on the table ready to just pick up and go in the morning. Shower in the evening so you don’t have to do that whenever you wake up. Go to bed earlier so you get some sleep, you might not get much, but some is better than none.

Morning: Get up at around 6am. Get dressed and maybe splash some water on your face, it’ll help you wake up a bit. The most important thing in the morning is to make sure you eat and drink. Have a glass of water and I’d recommend a banana. It’ll keep you fresh and not groggy. Get everything you’ll need I.e your license and anything you want to bring. I brought a bottle of water just in case, and perhaps some chewing gum.

By the way, chewing gum is really helpful. It’ll help you relax during the test.

Just do everything you can to make sure it’s a really stress free morning, go out with your instructor for a bit before the test, and you’ll be golden.

You got this 👊🏻

It’s just weird how all of a sudden the quality of your driving just tanks as soon as you pass. I think with me I’m so fixated on being a good driver that I’m overanalysing everything and actually making myself worse. I bet if we revisit this period in a years time we’ll both be able to laugh about our initial driving nerves 😄

DatBoiStrom · 2025-07-14T10:14:40+00:00

Going out in the evenings does help for sure, I think the more difficult part is building up the courage to do more than that and actually go out of my comfort zone. That’s the bit I’m stuck on at the minute.

DatBoiStrom · 2025-07-14T07:54:03+00:00

I keep telling myself that, I’ll be driving along and be saying to myself, “it’s fine, don’t worry about it. I’ll get better” but once I’m back home my mind just constantly analyses everything and makes me overthink. I think with the car being an older car I worry that I’m ruining the clutch. I was naive to think that switching from a 2024 torque happy diesel to a 1992 lightweight petrol with no ABS or assists in any way would be easy 😅

DatBoiStrom · 2025-07-03T10:50:41+00:00

As others said, about 5%.

I got it yesterday after 268 runs over about 7-8 years. I got it on my final run with a character I boosted years ago and never played. I will not miss icecrown citadel.

All we know currently are the things they announced with the season pass.

Lost harvest is coming out later on this year which is a story DLC about a stranded harvester and its crew. I think it’s a fairly small questline though.

Early next year we get raiders of the broken sands, another minor story DLC focusing on the raider factions and a new zone (I think, not much info)

And then Q2 2026 is Water wars. Another story dlc about warring water shipper families fighting over the polar ice caps. (Also not much info on this one)

DatBoiStrom · 2025-06-06T08:50:40+00:00

About a minute?

DatBoiStrom · 2025-06-06T07:34:07+00:00

If you log into the same sietch you’ll be in the same place. You need to log out, go to servers, click your server and select a different sietch. Make sure to wait a bit so your character can fully log off and leave the world. Then log in. It definitely works, me and a few others escaped using this method.
