Possible Improvements
=====================
Just discovered that you don't actually need to join the mages guild. Ingredients and scrolls be bought without being a member The jump down the tower in the Caldera Mages Guild can be done without getting stuck on beams (oops) on the way down. Hurts a bit, but you survive. I get stuck on a couple of bits of scenery in Caldera, furniture in the Ald-ruhn Mages Guild, and on walls/doors/scenery inside the various fortresses inside the Ghost Fence. In Sadrith Mora, Pierlette Rostorard, Apothecary, could create and drink Fortify Speed/Damage Fatigue/Restore Fatigue potion once ingredients purchased, resulting in quicker trip to the Alchemist. Might not need quite so many Ash Yams and Bloat, it depends on the early luck of the draw when creating the intelligence potions, and how powerful you want your Fortify Speed to be. Could combine Fortify Luck and Restore Health (Guar Hide, Corkbulb, Saltrice) into one potion. Could combine Fortify Health, Fortify Strength and Fortify Intelligence (Ash Yam, Vampire Dust, Shalk Resin, Bloat) into one potion. Might need only 5 Shalk Resin, 3 Kagouti Hide, 3 Chokeweed, saving one barter and a few clicks. Made a few mistakes during the alchemy section, taking off clothes when a potion didn't pick up, selecting wrong ingredient, deselecting the apparatus. Don't need to bother creating so many potions (especially levitation).

First Mark outside Vemynal might be better placed west of Dagoth Ur (if that turns out to be closer). Second Mark in Dagoth Ur crater could be placed while on the move rather than descending right into the crater (but be careful as I've ended up either stuck on scenery or in the lava while attempting this). Third Mark should be better anticipated and placed while on the move. Equipping and using Amulet of Recall should be better anticipated.

Don't need the key from Dagoth Odros, could simply buy a Scroll of Ondusi Unhinging from Tanar Llervi Don't need to drink all the potions at the end, but you must ensure Keening doesn't kill you. It took me too long to line up my aim on the heart (but there's nothing worse than striking with Sunder to find you're too far away). I go a bit psycho with Keening on the heart (However, in previous runs I have backed off too quickly and failed to destroy it). I reckon this run can be done in less than 14 minutes.

  • no.... rushing ...

    no.... rushing through the game is no fun at all.
    personally i like joining the thieve guild, pick a house with a random unimportant person in it, drop my stuff off there, then so to some other place with an unimportant person in it, and tons of valuable stuff, steal something worthless, then in "self defense" kill the person, hand myself over to guards, and pick up all valuable stuff risk free, then get my old stuff and sell it.

  • I've also played ...

    I've also played Morrowind, and it was bigger, more diverse, and more "rpg-orientated" which means had more items, the art was more fantastical and etc. But I still think Oblivion was AMAZING!!! It put more focus on details, and it sacrificed a bigger map for better npc's, better sidequests, and everything was more in-depth, better detailed, and not rushed; its hard to explain but I liked Oblivion better than Morrowind, but dont get me wrong Morrowind was also an outstanding and fascinating game

  • I have Oblivion on ...

    I have Oblivion on Xbox 360, and Morrowind on Xbox. Even though the 360 gives Oblivion better graphics, I think Morrowind is better because of it's story, it's items, it's 'friendlier' world and (most importantly) the HUMOUR. There are little jokes here and there, which make you laugh occassionly. And in Oblivion? NO JOKES, it's all serious. Morrowind: 10/10 Oblivion: 8/10

    If they had put comedy in Oblivion, like they did in Morrowind, I would give Oblivion 9/10.
