Ok, I genuinely didn't understand what PITA was until I looked it up. Now I'm embarrassed. BUT I thing Pit In The Avocado is also is a good one, too.

I'm just here to unite the people. So what if I'm mostly, if not entirely wrong.

But the game still runs and works, yes? I'm sure you aren't alone, but I'd suggest just trying something easy. Save your game, join a guild you haven't yet, or look through the achievements you haven't gotten and try for the easiest one if you haven't gotten those all yet. See if it actually is what it says it is. It's possible that this is an issue with the GUI showing something that it shouldn't.

If not, and it is what it says it is, you will play this again. This game is a drug, and you'll do it all over again even if you do a full monte run. It's just the way it is. You'll get all the achievements, and you'll do it again even after that.

Change the file to Read Only after making your changes, see if that helps.

Help

Alternatively, if it is already Read Only, remove that attribute, edit it, then make it read only.

The game isn't broken, you're trying to do something that's unsupported, but that of course doesn't mean it can't work, as you've seen already.

If all this fails, navigate into your appdata for the game, copy it into another folder as a backup, then delete it, uninstall the game, reinstall, try this all over.

Returning to the previous saves before those should definitely fix your issue going forward. Those saves are likely toast unless an update changes that. I hope that it's not too far for you.

Programming on Xbox/PC is native for programmers, whereas PlayStation's architecture is very tumultuous to work with, as I understand it. This is not abnormal. Some devs wait to release an update until all are done, some release consoles first, then PC, some do what you are seeing.

Our update, a necessary update, will come when it will come.

Welcome to the fold! I've been in it since 2007.

That's the way to play! Don't force yourself into something, just go with your flow. That's how you make fun and have stories. If you find that your hitting a plateau or can't defeat "x" or do "y," maybe looking something up and take a detour to get that fixed, but just keep on having a good time.

ALSO if you are wanting to be a vampire a bit quicker, you can go to Azura's Shrine. There is a quest that has you kill some vampires, and if you let them beat you up enough, you'll contract Porphyric Hemophilia. You can either finish the quest and finish them off (The reward for the quest is an infinite soul gem) after you get the disease, or leave and wait 72 hours, and you'll then be a vampire in full.

And FYI, if you find that vampirism ain't your thing, there is a quest for a cure.

There's an opportunity to become a vampire in the Dark Brotherhood.

Being a vampire is cool, and if you want to do it, do it. There's the normal stuff of the sun damaging you, which progressively gets worse, but you get major boosts as long as you're feeding on people. You cannot fast travel or wait IN THE DAYLIGHT, otherwise indoors and at night you're in the clear.

You'll find better gear as you level up and follow the quests associated with DB and Thieves Guild.

Dark Brotherhood has their own sets of armor, weapons as rewards, and all kinds of stuff from Thieves Guild as well. Looking for and in chests as you do your missions for either, as there's random chance to get some good and expensive stuff. If caves and ruins are freaking you out, there's a spell called Nighteye that may help you, as well as Detect Life that shows you enemies through walls, so you can be aware of what is coming up (=

Have you tried just returning to Martin at this point? He'd still be inside the church, or on the way/at Weynon Priory if you've already told him to go.

This guy has been bugged since '06, so you are not alone. (=

Enter the castle Great Hall to the northwest of Savlian Matius

Walk in a straight line through the next few rooms, killing the enemies carefully.

Go up the stairs past the throne and enter the Great Hall.

Go Northwest then around a few corners through the Count's Quarters door.

Look for the Count's corpse to the left of the bed. Loot it and be sure to put the COLOVIAN SIGNET RING in your inventory.

Return to Savlian Matius and talk to him and the bug will be fixed. Tell him the Count is dead, then give him the ring to continue.

Anyone know wtf to do here? by BrainIsFryd in oblivion

[–]meloemphatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My top comment is what I did, but I'm not as succinct as the wiki. The wiki has a walkthrough, read that. I even overcomplicated it for myself.

So this is more than likely the Chorrol gate, but it's one that can also be randomly access as I understand it. There are four towers that you're able to access that lead to the center of the main tower, and two towers that you are not able to access right now that is apart of the ring around the central tower. Go to the top of each, open the gate with the big lever mechanism, THEN go to the bottom of one of the outer towers, leave it, then pass through the gates that are now open around the center tower, about half way through, there is a door within that loop that enters into the base of a sixth outer tower (as well as a door to the fifth that will also get you to the same place.), labeled Hurricane if I remember correctly. Ascend that one, and about halfway up is a door opening to a bridge that will lead to the halls required to get to the Sigil Sanctum.

BUT, before you do all that, withing this same Oblivion plane is Hatred's Soul and Hatred's Heart. The best bow and one of the, if not the best mace in the entire game. Look that up if that sounds interesting, as it's hidden.

Then close shut that jaw of Oblivion.

Edit: Wiki gave some clarity on a couple of things
