http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1242193-the-oblivion-dead-is-dead-thread/

This playstyle is taken from the guys, in the FONV forum. Honorable mentions : .46ACP (Gunny) and Longknife.

I'm sure it's been done here at some point, in the past. I attempted a search, but found nothing. It spun into something rather fun, and mostly short lived for most. I thought it would give a new spin on some of the characters I have created, in Oblivion. At least something to do until Skyrim. It really makes the game exciting, knowing that at any moment, the end could fall upon you. This isn't for everyone. It is best tried with kookie, strange, off the wall characters and builds that you would not normally play. That way you will be less incline to become attached to them.

Just one rule...Dead is Dead.

1) When your character falls in battle or falls from a cliff, that's it. They are dead. Game over. No reloads. Feel free to restart from the Sewers, with the ole "I or II", after their names. If you so choose.

*Exception*
...If your character falls due to a glitch, the game locks up or due to any outside action and/or distraction ( kids / pets / mother-in-law ) at no fault from the player. No shame will fall upon you to revert to a previous save.


If you want to try a run, feel free to list your new characters, with a backstory if you like. As well as, their starting stats and limitations. Update your progress. Much like the "Where are you now", thread. It's really not any different from most of your guy's/gal's playstyle...aside from the dead and done part.

When and if that happens, post their name, date of passing and any info you want to reflect on their tomb. If enough people want to try a run. I will start a graveyard, in the OP, so they will be forever remembered.

Player Tomb Listings :

1) I will list the players in alphabetical order.

2) The graves, of your fallen characters, will be added to your Tomb.

3) Any info on your char will be added, to their grave, according to your post.

4) Each character's grave will be limited, to 10 lines of info, for simplicity and unity. I will be more than happy, to tie a link to your char's name, for pics and detailed stats. Just PM me the link.

5) The Tombs will have a generic heading, with the players user name.

6) If you would like to make your own heading, copy the data from your "reply screen" and paste it in a PM to me. That way it will have all the appropriate fonts, colors and placements, without me having to try and duplicate your creation. I will gladly copy and paste it in the Memorial. Feel free to get as creative and detailed as you like.

7) Try to keep the custom headings, to a reasonable font size. I will not add an enormous heading, with (7) size fonts.



*NOTICE*
...With regards to the memorial...If you commit to a DID, your character dies and you post " My dude died, on such and such, but I'm going to continue playing him/her." You will NOT get added to the graveyard. This prompted a lot of frowns and nasty comments, in the other forum. So, we can prevent this before it happens.

Thank you for participating and enjoy your game.

[Kelly Osbourne Kelly]

Came near to death today on my new Roleplaying Bosmer Telina. Walked straight, and I mean straight, into shooting darts trap. I had auto run on and was eating a donut

Luckily, by the Nine!, I managed to open inventory menu up and drink a hell of a lot of healing potions before closing it and dancing out of the way . Another brush with death! Apparently Telina is extremely scared of dungeons now, and is more focused on getting her Mage Guild reccomendations, being fascinated by the Magical arts of Illusion. She's walked (no fast travel at all) from Anvil to Skingrad, Skingrad to the Imperial City, IC all the way to Chorrol then took the very beautiful Orange Road to Bruma where she now has intended to rest for a few days. It's been a busy week for her (8 days), and she needs relaxation She has earned it!

[GabiiE Liiziiouz]

And so it was that at he tender age(level) of 17, The Outlaw fell in battle. Not to hordes of enraged lawmen, as many would have preferred, but to a pair of Dremora Kynmarchers guarding their Sigil stone from the intrepid highwaywoman. In the time between that event and Mehrunes Dagon's conquest of Cyrodill, The surviving Kynmarcher responsible for her death turned her corpse in for the bounty and retired to hell a much richer devil. 40,528 gold pieces richer, in fact. Stories of the Outlaw and her fall would circulate throughout the conquered provinces of Tamirel, eventually inspiring an uprising that managed to achieve what she could not. But that is a story for another day, for in the Cyrodill Wastelands, war.. well, you know the rest.

Thank you for taking the time to include all the dead characters from the OP of thread 1, SENIOR. The OP in this thread looks really good.

I wish more people would post pics of their characters in the OP. Never mind, I guess that would be a lot of work for CINCO, cuz he'd have to cut & paste a bunch of

Well, you are more than welcome, and no it would not be a problem to link pics. If anyone is incline to give me one for their tomb. I have the CCMO set up to cut and paste easily. It only takes a few seconds to update.

I copied the entire thing in the text form, from the edit screen to a file in notepad. I will do this as the thread gets close to the post limit. That way if it gets locked I will not have to try and recreate everything. I shutter at that thought.

[Reanan-Marie Olsen]

Here’s a screen of Lason for his http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h361/grits29/LasonTombstone.jpg. Unfortunately I never got a good shot of him engaged in badassery, as I was too preoccupied with keeping him alive. Ah, well. The OP looks great! A fitting memorial.

Sorendil is thriving at Level 6 and 23 hours of play. He found a Ring of the North and a Frost Shield Ring, so now he http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h361/grits29/AreYouaNord.jpg. He’s been poking through caves and ruins a lot lately. Here he found some http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h361/grits29/GlowyStones.jpg, which I'd never seen before. He’s leaving a lot of loot behind. I guess he doesn’t want to come back to town and http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h361/grits29/OtherMer.jpg.

[renee Duhamel]

OK, new character. Well, sort of.

Sal the Argonian

Same setup as Gideon, but born under the mage
Same mods, but Sal has proper Argonian feet, so no boots.

An old friend of mine, restarted him about a dozen times or so, a little different each time, now I'm hurling him into OOO to see if he can survive.

[Laura Ellaby]

Update on my DiD character:

Telina, Bosmer mystic archer, is now level 4 and is now on day 15 I believe. She finally received all her recommendations without fast travelling, and has now allowed herself to use the Cyrodiil Travel Service, as she see's her basic training is complete. Her faithful companion, Vilja, however died whilst completing the last recommendation quest.

OOO makes the enemies a set level, so I had to go up against level 15's for my last recommendation quest, and VIlja took most of the blows, silly women, whilst I stayed back casting Frenzy and shooting arrows.

No more near brushes with Death, apart from the interesting appearance of a Frost Titan whilst exploring the area north of Bruma (And I must say, I felt shivers running up my spine when i realise how close i was to the border of Skyrim ^.^)

[Monique Cameron]

I would like to announce, that due to the growing interest in this type of platstyle, a http://graveyard.wikia.com/wiki/The_Graveyard_-_A_Dead_Is_Dead_gamplay_site_Wiki wiki, currently under construction. It is not completely up yet. Soon you will be able to list your characters with pics, bios and the like. Featuring listings in a lot of different games.

This is being created to expand our fallen characters, NOT replace the threads of the forums.

[Catharine Krupinski]

It is actually not so hard to escape death situations, since an emergency Invisibility and the courage to admit defeat should allow you to leave a tough spot - my character has done that a few times. No foes have Detect Life on them I guess...

Of course, those traps in those ancient ruins and in oblivion gates can finish you instantly, so here is where you have to be most careful IMO.

I've never played with those mods like Francesco or some that overhaul the foe's AI, so my experience is limited in this sense.

[Ashley Campos]

Telina came close to death once again at the hands of the King of the Worms. Luckily however, she had a bunch of Healing Potions which she was pretty much drinking every 2 seconds. When the supposed 'King' fell, Telina claimed her prize of the title 'Arch-Mage' and returned to the Arcane University with her head held high. Her life dream had been accomplished. Irav, a friend of her's who perished in the fight against Necromancy, got her interested before he died in old Alyeid Ruins. She know devotes herself to finding artefacts in his name, and because she has her own interest in it.

Recently downloaded the mod Shadowcrest Vineyard, and this will be the new Arch-Mages home out in the Wilderness, even though Telina owns Frostcrag Spire and the Anvil House, she feels that they are too small for what she requires.

But now with her own personal goal settled down, she has finally focused on rumours of the Emperors Assassination, and realises this could ruin her position as head of the Mage's Council. So eventually she might investigate more into that, after she's taken a few weeks off working for other people.

[Charlie Sarson]

Sorendil has reached Level 8. He has picked up a few quests from people he’s met along the road, but his main interest seems to be exploring ruins with stealth and life detection. He sells nearly everything he finds. I’m not sure what he’s saving up for. His favorite loot so far is his new Dwemer Dwarven bow.

The closest calls have been with timber wolves out on the road. I’m keeping his Endurance low since he’s an Altmer, so he can’t take much damage. He’s been working on his Conjuration lately so he can get rid of that idiot scamp. Here’s a http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h361/grits29/Buddy.jpg with his new summon. Now he has another reason to avoid towns. Everyone keeps telling him he smells of death.


Edit: I guess it's called a Dwarven bow.

Here is sth I do not understand... you SAW the Emperor being assassinated, how can u investigate the 'rumours'?

[Tom Flanagan]

Is this even possible with OOO?

[Maddy Paul]

hey, I'm planning to do a Dead is Dead playthrough on skyrim when i get it, just wondering whether anybody else is doing this for their second playthrough?

[chinadoll]

Is this even possible with OOO?

u mean playing DiD?

I believe with careful planning and study anything is possible. I mean, I never played with OOO, do foes have Detect Life on them?

[patricia kris]

hey, I'm planning to do a Dead is Dead playthrough on skyrim when i get it, just wondering whether anybody else is doing this for their second playthrough?

There are a couple of threads floating around in the Skyrim forum on it now. I http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?showtopic=1250620&view=findpost&p=19056462 in the one with a pole.

[Josh Sabatini]

Here is sth I do not understand... you SAW the Emperor being assassinated, how can u investigate the 'rumours'?

i'm using an alternative Start mod. Telina was knocked unconscious and dragged upon a pirate vessel in a random town (she is unsure of which one) which was transporting illegal cargo to Anvil (which were sheep)

EDIT: And NO WAY am I doing it for Skyrim. I have approx. 72 hours of time which I am free. Minus around 24 hours for sleeping, eating, drinking and pooping. So thats around 48 hours of playing. This will allow me at least to leave the starting cave and explore 1 other ruin before I die from the supposed awesomeness. No way am i playing DiD what a waste of time
