It looks as if you employed the font MOD, yes? I was thinking of doing that so I could get rid of the HUGE X-BOX STYLE inteface.
Which font MOD was it and could you provide a link, please?

[TQ]

Word on the first patch and new content, fellows:

Hehehe.. Know what you mean but I still haven't find the right bucket to put over my head.

Sold a couple of them too.... Usually I sell cool armor (and keep 1 set too of course) because it appears that is the only way to get real money in the game and even then you have to do a lot for it... carry to stuff to one of the cave's exists and then go back and forth between a shop and the cave or your armor pile to sell it... hmm... I find myself more occupied with gathering some money than to complete quests...

Yup, sort of... It is this one:

Also yesterday I used the vampire mod because I again would have lost 3 hours of play which I cannot take... BTW, in the end I lost those 3 hours anyway because I dind't have the correct savegame anymore.. !

I have 1 HUGE PROBLEM with OBLIVION which in the end may have me lose interest of it if it is not fixed and that is the lack of quickslots... Common, what the heck where they smoking when they programmed 8 quickslots!!! You are more busy managing your truckload of spells and putting them in the rights places than to actually have fun.

Hehehe... well, actually today is really the first day I've played oblivion with my new Dell.. However, I find that when using 1920x1200 the game is too choppy and stutters too much. So I'm back to tweaking again... right now I've lowered the resolution a bit.

Heh...I specialize in Marksmanship, Sneak and Illusion. He'd never see it coming.
I'm also really good at running away if things get too hot.

[SubZero]

Too "bad" we can't go head to head on-line!!

I'm sooooooo afraid!!! BTW, TQ, what level are you?

[TQ]

Heck, I don't even know. Level 15 or 16,something like that. Mrs. TQ is about the same.

[SubZero]

Ahaha... I forgot the two of you are taking turns...

About that mod, take a look at the changed HUD too, very nice indeed!!!

Also there is a rather easy way to change the POV to 90 (like most FPS games) instead of 75. I don't know about you but it feels way too zoomed in at default.

Check this thread how to change the POV...

http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/i...owtopic=348094

Works great, only thing is you have to remember to restore the POV to its default before exiting the game otherwise the next time your menu's are out of place (still not a big problem to correct though).

All good info. I am concerned, however, about the change to the compass in that the chosen quest direction and various destination icons are eliminated.
I like the way the compass operates by default and wouldn't wish to change that.
All I'd really like to do is reduce the size of the UI and increase the number of inventory slots.
I suspect that the upcoming official patch will do that but if I could limit the MOD's effects to just reducing the UI's size (and thereby increasing the amount of displayed information) and give me more inventory slots I'd be happy.

By default, the map and quest icons should operate the same way with the mods installed. However, included is a way to either choose not to display certain markers... But again, by default they SHOULD (unless there is a bug or some effect of the mod they didn't anticipate).

Can you please post your attributes. I am saddened to say I cheated a bit to get some of my magic up, and inadvertently messed up the leveling system. Everytime I go to sleep I go up a level. At 75 hours, I am only at level 23. I have nothing to compare against.

I am really too strong for my level. Just for kicks the other day, I killed every person in the whole city of Leyawin... I was kicking the guards butts 10 at a time. LOL...( I didnt save though) I am a good guy.

So please post your attributes and skills at level 28 so I can fix my character to the right level for my skills.

nice screenies!

I have yet to complete the DB and Theifs guilds quest. Let me ask you, what is the best way to get the items into th display cases? tThe only way I found was to use telekinesis on them. Any better ways?

[SubZero]

Sorry bro, I didn't see your question. I've included a couple of screenshots from my character... Right now I'm at level 32. I have not cheated 1 single time in the game. I have however played with the difficulty slider from time to time but very little.
