And you have to install the x86bit along side the 64bit version of .NET 2.0 otherwise OBMM doesn't work properly.

Bought this a few days ago, but I'm having a problem. I'm doing the Thieves Guild initiation, stealing the diary. The problem is, I didn't get there first, but I've read that the chick that steals it will gloat and then it'll be in a chest in her house or I can pickpocket her. But she didn't gloat or anything, and when I talk to her she just says "I'll get there first!" and if I try to pickpocket her, she has the diary. I can't successfully do it, though. Should I just raise my sneak skill more? Or, where does she float around during the day so I can try it then?

Let her get home, break in.

 

 

 

Steal it from somewhere while she sleeps. You do not need to pickpocket.

Usually waiting an hour will kind of kick start a character if they aren't doing anything.

I still cant make oblivion run on my computer. I have no idea what to do. I can install in correctly, but it will not rune the game. It says something like "Windows has found a problem, and need to close this program"

 

 

 

If someone can help me, please do. I really want this to work.

Problem

 

Oblivion crashes on startup, I don't even get to the main menu.

 

Cause

 

Other programs disrupting disk operation, or you have old save games and settings in the (My Documents/My Games/Oblivion).

 

Solution

 

Disable them. Most likely you'll have to switch off your antivirus (if it scans all files you access), Google Desktop (same), possibly any P2P apps running in the background (they are rather disk-intense and memory-heavy) and anything that could pop up a message from system tray during the game (email notifiers, instant messengers, automatic updaters). This is the recommended minimum, but for optimal performance and stability turn off everything that is not essential to the system operation, freeing up resources for the game. You can safely switch this all back on after you finished playing. Note the firewall apps shouldn't affect the game stability (theoretically...) so feel free to leave them on, or if you feel unsafe, disable the network connection together with the firewall for time of playing.

 

Second Solution

 

Move all files in (My Documents/My Games/Oblivion) to a different location. Start the game and see if it works. If it does then you may copy back the "Save" folder back in.

 

Cause 2

 

Mods selected without having the correct master files

 

Solution

 

Check through all mods and ensure they have the required master files present and clicked on.

 

Cause 3

 

DirectX is missing newer d3dx9 revision files.

 

Solution

 

Download and install the newest DirectX End-User Runtime.

 

 

 

Perhaps you should try that?

Ill try it out tomorrow. Thanks for the help :thumbsup:

Well, I did. It wasn't anywhere except on her person. I ended up knocking her out and stealing it from her then.

guess that works when you're dealing with an essential NPC :lol:

lol i hate it when you kill someone and then you cant finish a quest.

I said you do not need to pickpocket.

 

 

 

You should have checked every container in the house.

It prob wasn't in her house if she was carrying it.

Yeah, but Lenin pretty much said he did what I said.

 

 

 

Which involved her being at home and asleep.

 

 

 

Meaning it will be in the house if it is the night when it was stolen.

It wasn't the night it was stolen, I did check her house when she left, and it wasn't in there. Anywhere. The game probably messed up, isn't she supposed to gloat that she got it forst when she gets it? She never did that.

 

 

 

It doesn't matter now though, I got it, finished the quest, all is good.

That is why you couldn't find it.

 

 

 

After she sleeps for one night, she takes it to him.

Coming back to this game feels so good. I started fresh, as my first character wasn't working out at all. I have another Nord character:

 

 

 

Attributes: Strength and Endurance

 

 

 

Sign: The Warrior

 

 

 

Major Skills (Custom class, "Fighter"):

 

 

 

Armorer

 

Athletics

 

Blade

 

Block

 

Heavy Armor

 

Marksman

 

Restoration

 

 

 

I'm glad I started over. It's going to be a much better run, and I'm going to enjoy the game a lot more now.

Hey, I am sorry for bumping a 4 month topic, but I have a problem right now.

 

I have gotten oblivion about 2 months ago because of a sale of something on D2D. Anyway I have a hobby of doing research on games that I play, so naturally I did some basic studies and then I found about OBSE. It seems many of the major mods require this add-on, the only problem is that OBSE does not support the D2D version. I am just wondering right now that should I buy the game on steam just for OBSE? 35 bucks is not that much to me but it seems stupid in my head to pay that much just for mods, any opinions?

 

PS: Again sorry for bumping up old topics, but I did not think it was right to create a topic just for asking the question.

Well, mods make the game much much better. The Oblivion script extender only is needed for very advanced things though, I never used it.

In the next ES I really hope Bethesda make it so that fighting from horseback and horses in general are a major part of the game. Having to get off my horse to kill a wolf is [bleep]ing annoying.

there is a mod for horseback fighting.

 

In the next ES I really hope they make it so that you cant mod the game at all. :wink:

there is a mod for horseback fighting.

 

I envy you that. I have the Boots of the Crusader, which stop attacks from wild animals, but my horse still gets attacked. #-o

Mega-bump...

 

I did something I haven't done in a long-[wagon] time.. since my very first character actually. And went with marksman as my primary killing method. I really need to get the main quest line under way tho so I can get Hatreds Soul. 24 damage for a meager 12 weight... excellent.

 

I have also employed efficient leveling for this character also. I wasn't using +5+5+1 since the start.. since I wanted to max my Endurance, Strength and Agility asap. So far so good.

I always like to have my stats at 100 eventually so 5/5/1 is usually what I do, but 5/5/5 can make the beginning easier.

 

Archer is actually pretty fun, I usually like to do that because it is easier to stealth kill people that way.

The only thing I can't max legitimately is Luck. I had to be doing 5/5/1 from the start to pull that off since I only started with 50 Luck.. no drama tho. I rarely level Luck past the initial value and the loot is just fine at 20+ :)
