Are you a collector? : IV - Oblivion

» Tue Sep 21, 2010 1:36 pm

Keys, books and notes. Linara collects them obsessively.

Planescape :hehe:

Yes I know its hardly original, but I spent at least three years of my life playing that game, it was also the first game I bought for a modern cd format pc.
So I can say any game like Oblivion where I can use my imagination and mod, I will at some point recon Torment into it.
That is untill some company, finally has the brains to at least buy the rights and make an exact clone with modern graphics, less bugs then even the uo patches, expands the universe in a sandbox way, and brings it back to its rightful place as an immortal being of endless power....

Hint, hint Bethesda.

Camarilla likes shiny objects, such as gems and stones and other things she finds decorative. Then she also keeps a ton of random quest related items in her waterfront shack. She likes to keep items that has had some relation to her adventures, and don't sell those (gifts and rewards etc.) And also rare (related to her game progress) items, i.e. new armors and weapons. She just found an ash wood staff, which is equipped left handed, so I figure it works like a shield?? She's hanging on to that for a while to see if it fits her style better than a shield =)

Currently her house looks like http://i56.tinypic.com/2j69zzp.jpg.

Yep, the staffs with Armor values, are shields, but better looking for some characters.

Yes phoss OOO adds two new staves, a shield group, and a glow / torch group., both are very handy in game and roleplaying with imo.

Awesome house, Shiny stuff FTW!!!

Fawke's house is filled with weyled and varla stones, his house is soooo shiny o-o

Spent about half an hour trying to get 3 helmets in the right place.

Helmets of any sort and shields.

That looks pretty cool, but I have a feeling she's a shield wielding kinda gal =)

Thanks, she's not at all done decking it out yet! It's going to be packed with adventure relics as she progresses, probably to the point she can't actually live there =)

I've done small collections with a few characters. One collected all the Goblin Tribal Totems (there are only seven, and they all look the same). All the books of the 2920 series. All the city guard cuirasses and shields.

I started an Argonian spoon collector after meeting Big Head in Bliss for the first time, but soon gave that up.

» Tue Sep 21, 2010 3:21 am

I collect a lot of the new items added in OOO, mainly the Ayleid weapons.

» Tue Sep 21, 2010 9:02 am

Unique items such as Daedric artifacts, Welkind Stones, and Varla stones. Also items with funny names such as "Axe of Icy Darkness" and whatnot. Or items that do funny things such as the Staff of Open. :-P

I try to collect a full set of each type of armor and weapon (like full set of Ebony armour + Ebony claymore, longsword, shortsword, at least one arrow, bow, etc) and KEYS! I loooove keys. Especially in Morrowind, where I collected all the keys and PILLOWS.

I hope TES: V will have pillows again, because pillows are the one thing you can always decorate your house with. Pillowspillowspillows. :hugs:

All my characters have collected something.

Lyriel Tailas (yes, I changed the spelling of her name) collects shiny things (gems, etc).
Ryven Ontus collected helms.
Varesa Ienith collected spoons.

My character collects wictims. by the hundreds.

Metaphorically or really do you drag all your victims to your house and hide them in the cellar.

» Tue Sep 21, 2010 2:17 am

metaphorically.

even though she likes secrecy, she leaves a flower (as ingredient or bouquet doesnt matter). kind of like a signature.

but the souls of important characters are in soul gems, so she can torture them for eternity and laugh at their iimpotency.

I don't really collect because of how hard it is to arrange objects, or they keep falling, etc. In MW I used to collect those great little statuettes with the ruby red eyes. Never made a pillow fort

Uh-Oh, your giving me ideas. Now I just HAVE to go to Morrowind and start collecting pillows to build a fort with. Who needs a player owned house when I've got a kickass pillow fort sitting in the middle of Balmora?

Valiri Collects gems and pearls. Not nuggets though (not this playthrough anyway.) The bigger the better. She's never really organized them in any way but after reading this thread, she just might have picked up a few ideas.

OHMYGOD a pillowfort outside! Now that is a great idea. All my pillow forts have been inside my houses, but outside... I've always wanted a house in the Zainab Ashlander camp. Time to play Morrowind!

» Tue Sep 21, 2010 7:50 am

err... he, what is pillow fort?

» Tue Sep 21, 2010 2:50 pm

A miniature fort made of pillows. I think. How do you get the pillows?

» Tue Sep 21, 2010 8:16 am

A miniature fort made of pillows. I think. How do you get the pillows?

No way, not miniature, HUGE! My pillow fort will be the awesomest creation in all of Tamriel.

In Morrowind you can get pillows in various locations: people's beds, random loot, crates/barrels/baskets in the streets of the cities, that one woman in Balmora who has like 100 of them, etc. In Oblivion, no pillows. :shakehead:

How many pillows do you need and how are you going to do the roof?

» Tue Sep 21, 2010 10:39 am

but u dont enter it right? u just do the awesome 'PAYAAAAMAAA-jump http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZK6M5Xpa-s&feature=related on it and then rebuild the whole damn thing. yesn't?

» Tue Sep 21, 2010 10:14 am

I was thinking of piling random crap (maybe books) on top of each other to create sort of the inside of the fort, and then I'd cover the whole thing in pillows. If you then get rid of the books on the inside, the pillows won't fall and will stay where they are in mid-air. Ooooh, and I can make turrets and stuff... It'll be way cool.

I have no idea how many pillows you'd need, but technically I guess you could do it with a few hundred if you space them sort of farther apart than right next to each other. I think I'll have to try this out, like right now! :clap:
