TES IV: Oblivion *spoilers possible*

Did you get the quest message telling you to take the thing back to whatever his name is?

Heres a question. It says for the resolution 1280x1024 LCD. Does that mean i have to have an lcd for it to work? I'm at 1024x768 right now and would love to go up more.

Yes, because 1280x1024 on an LCD really means 1024 by 1280, but reversed through the LCD's pixel matrix on screen. It's really projecting the image on a 90 degree axis rotation. This is the main reason that resolutions less than the native resolution on an LCD looks worse: the axis rotation can't work as efficiently.

Everything you just read was purely BS. The answer is no, you don't need an LCD to raise your resolution to 1280x1024 =P. The whole reason I made that excuse was because a simple "No" was less than 10 characters.

Wow, you had me going for a long time. Damn you Smith and picking on a person under the influence.

Smith, you are clearly not lazy enough. All it takes is a good keyboard smash to fill in the additional characters thusly,

But it doesn't make you feel as good as when you throw a whole bunch of random bull crap together and see some bone head fall for it. Er, no offence KidBoy =P!

I have a real question. What is the point of 1280x1024? It's not in the 4:3 ratio as other resolutions, so doesn't it look weird to you compared with 1280x960?

nm, I just tried it and yeah, it is bad. Is it widescreen or something?

 

[Zeonix]

I use 1280x1024 and it looks perfect .

It's more square than wide. If you have a CRT, 1280x960 will be better. If you have an LCD 17-19", 1280x1024 will more likely be the native resolution. Usually, any non-widescreen LCD has a more squarish display than a CRT. Check it out yourself.

Anyone know how to take screenshots in this game?

 

[Sicron]

Well, just the usual Print Screen and pasting in paint will work. Or you need to change something var in the .ini file to 1 (something to do with screenshots), press Print Screen, and it Oblivion will save it automaticly as a .BMP in your documents folder I tought.

Edit:

Var is called: "bAllowScreenShot=0", just use CTRL+F to find it.

And this will make your game look a lot better:

http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2536

I went through the entire site and now my game looks god like. How did you find that site and is there any other sites like this one that can make my other games look better?

 

[Sicron]

Tessource is just a website that contains resources for Oblivion, such as mods. So basicly, any website that has downloads for mods (for example, esf-world) is like this website. But there aren't any specific websites that upgrade your graphics of games, it just happens to be what people want to make as a mod.

 

[ZeroNightmare]

ok now the stupid chick wont take the ingredients for my cure vampirism quest....

she just says over and over when you gather all the ingredients speka to me again.. and i have them all

she hasnt taken my bloodgrass or the nightshade

 

[Zeonix]

Congrats! You can't complete the quest. Ever. It's over. Just do the other quests. No, I'm not kidding. There's no way around it.

Reload the save file before you gave her all of the ingredients and try to give them to her in the order that she requested them.

 

[frsrblch]

Has anybody gotten the Orrery mod yet? I was wondering if I could get somebodies opinion if it's any good.

 

[Cold Steel]

Isn't that one of those mods you gotta pay for ?

 

[Zeonix]

Yes, it is.
