Hi, I'm new to these forums and I just bought Oblivion for the Xbox 360 and I have just a few questions:

1. I was wondering how common it is to come across animals and stuff like that?

2. Is it possible to have a pet horse or dog?

3. Is there alot of Armor and stuff for role-playing?

4. Is Oblivion one of those games where it takes forever to walk from city to city?

5. Whats the DLC like?

6. This is my Last one...Can someone tell me whats fun to do?


I hope these forums are better than others I have been on. I have another question but I can't remember it. lol :confused:

EDIT: ok I have another question...Would it be possible to add mods to a xbox game? By using a USB port or whatever?

1. Subjective, some people believe there are too few, while others think it's just the right amount. I fall in the latter category, it seems more realistic to only bump into about 3 or 4 animals for each trip to a particular dungeon or town. If you don't think there are enough animals try walking away from the roads and head out into the forest, try some wilderness survival.

2.It's possible to own several kind of horses (no spoilers), but no dogs unfortunately.

3. I think there is. You have several full sets of armor like fur and steel, while unique artifacts that you gain by doing side quests.

4. Not if you use fast travel, but without it it might take 10 to 15 minutes depending on your speed, not too much if you ask me.

5. Depends on the DLC, spell tomes and horse armor are just a few trinkets for the huge uber fans if you ask me, knights of nine and shivering isles are must have for any oblivion fans, try out the game and buy them if it left you wanting more.

6. One of my favorites involve using a necromancer staff to reanimate my dead enemies to fight by my side. That or lobbing a few dozen burning sheep at a small village.

OK thanks for the info....I haven't actually gotten the game yet. I bought it on Ebay yesterday or so and I really want to play it.

Welcome to the forums. Have a http://images.uesp.net//c/c4/Fishystick.jpg.

SNC summed it up nicely.

This is my favorite game of all time.(so far) The replay value is limitless.

I made a EDIT if anyone hasn't read it yet....

Modding of the X-Box is not allowed by Microsoft, so you are out of luck there.

I think what you need to do is just play the game, explore on your own, have fun, and only ask us if you run into trouble :wink_smile:

And yes, welcome to the forums and have an additional :icecream:

ONE MAJOR NEWBIE TIP! SAVE BEFORE YOU EXIT THE SEWERS! (The tutorial on this game svcks. Unless youre like Mirocu and that one girl..forgot her name just know her character is Buffy.) Btw Mirocu I'm Skyrimftfw, I started a new account because I got tired of having to change my password.

I′ve only done the tutorial once so that′s why I still like it. And the one you thought of is Acadian

Save yourself some future heartache, and do not rely upon only one save for your game. Make regular, separate saves. You will thank yourself for it when you have to go back to one of them after a game-breaking glitch or goof.

A very good advise. Because it will happen if you play long enough :sadvaultboy:

1. I was wondering how common it is to come across animals and stuff like that?
Very common in the wilderness. Never in towns.

2. Is it possible to have a pet horse or dog?
Yes you can buy horses from every city except the Imperial City (theirs went missing). You can't have dogs though.

3. Is there alot of Armor and stuff for role-playing?
There's quite a lot of different clothes and that, but I was disappointed in the lack of trousers for girl characters. There's only a couple, and most of them look weird! I use the blacksmiths pants usually, they look like black skinny jeans lol.

4. Is Oblivion one of those games where it takes forever to walk from city to city?
If you're walking, yes. Running or taking a horse is faster, and you can fast travel but many people choose not to. I suggest you walk unless you have something really pressing to do because there's a lot of cool places you'd otherwise miss.

5. Whats the DLC like?
I think it's pretty good. I haven't tried them all, mind you.
Fighter's Stronghold- You get a castle of your own down the road from Chorrol along with some guards, I liked this one a lot but I would complain that even after you buy all the furniture and that it's still quite bare.
Knights of the Nine- I loved this one. A whole questline with an interesting story, and you get to stay in a pretty priory in the woods No complaints.
Orrery- This one's difficult, I liked it because the completed thing looked cool, but it wasn't very functional ( it gives you different buffs depending on the month) but I don't think it's really worth buying because the quest line is short and boring.
Spell Tomes- Doesn't cost that much MS Points so I bought it. Adds books about the world that teach you new spells. I liked this one. No complaints.
Thieve's Den- I liked the idea of this one, and the quest and "house" you get are really cool. However, I just didn't like the area but that's just me! No real complaints.
Wizard's Tower- My favourite one. A seriously cool Mage tower on the top of a mountain. Has an alchemy garden inside, a secret vault with imps in it and Spell Making and Enchanting altars inside! (Previously only available to Mage's in the Arcane University, which involes doing a quest in every city to get in).

I haven't used the others, but apparently the Horse Armour PAck is absoulutley terrible, going by what I've heard. I think it looks cool, but not really worth 200 MS Points! For a full list of the DLC's and their price- http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Plug-ins

6. This is my Last one...Can someone tell me whats fun to do?
I love adventuring around Cyrodiil. Talk to everyone, look at everything! For plain fun though, I like to make a save then start attacking random people in th Imperial City MArket District and cause a big fight. Obviously re-loading the save afterwards!

Tips- Save often! And use multiple saves, not just one! If it corrupts you'll be sorry (I was!). Also, the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page is incredibly useful for finding out about quests, NPCs, lore and many other things. You should try the Thieve's Guild, it's a really fun quest line! A lot of people hate the main quest, but I think it's one of the best quest lines in the game. I would recommend you play through it at least once, as with every other faction/quest line. Oh, and alchemy is a really good way to make money! All you need is a mortar and pestle, then find a farm or some fields and pick all the crops. You can make them into Restore Fatigue potions for easy money.

EDIT: Just seen your last question. No, you can't add mods to the XBOX :sadvaultboy:. However, the game is still great and it will take you a very long time to get so bored with it that mods are required :thumbsup:
