Forums > Contributor Zone > FAQ Progress Topic II: The Reckoning

Let's see, finished with RDR for the most part. S'pose it's time to find a new game. I friend got a bunch of Xbox games for me at a garage sale, but I dunno if they're candidates. Any good ones?

- Blood Wake
- Fable
- Flat Out
- Grand Theft Auto III (lol)

This assumes they're even playable in such a beat-up condition.

Writing a guide for Oblivion. Should take quite awhile to finish, luckily.

Good luck with Oblivion that one could take a looong time. There is so much to do in that game. I had somewhere around 170 quests done (that includes the extra content) but not all of them were story quests.

Age is a condition not a state of mind.

Already finished the all guild, DLC and (hopefully) optional quests. Did a few lists here and there, but won't have a chance at doing, say, equipment lists with all that leveled stuff available. Probably one of the few times where a game's sprawl is really THAT daunting -- cryin' shame. Gotta do vampirism, menu explanations (usually I'd skip that but...) controls and tips/tricks, and then it should be gravy.

Yeah, and there are so many class combinations you could do a FAQ on that alone. I look forward to your FAQ they are always a good read.

Well, it's done for the most part. Gimme some feedback or tell something you'd like to see, and if it's doable, I'll consider it.

I really like your layout. Easy to read, follow and search through. I'm still going over it but here are a few things I noted.

In the Birthsigns section under Thief you noted Steed has giving +10 to Speed, that should be +20 to Speed.

I noticed you used "incumbrance" in the Menu Overview section where in any other place you used "encumbrance". A small difference but "encumbrance" is more in keeping with the games notations.


This is a tip that worked for me and if you want you can add it or change it to fit.

During the tutorial and in the early parts of the game, up through level 10 or so, I used non-major skills as much as possible to increase level-up stat boost points. For example my weapon of choice (Major skill) is Blade, but during the tutorial I used a Mace or Axe (Blunt Skill) so my Strength Attribute could be increased by 5 points at level up. In this way you are ensuring you get the maximum number of available stat boosting points while not leveling up to fast, because if you level to fast in Oblivion your attributes may not be sufficiently high enough to ensure long life. Remember you only level when Major skills get a 10 point increase but Minor skills can be increased freely and add to available stat boosting points when you do get to level-up.

Good finds. For the +10 speed thing, I meant the Steed gives that much when the penalty's accounted for, unlike the Thief which just breaks even. I'll put that tip in, too.

Happy to help. I'll let you know if I happen find anything else - so far so good though.

While rummaging around on an old thumb drive, I found all of my old GameFAQs reviews. I'm trying to convert them (i.e. proofread and take out some of the errors) for submission here. The Berzerk FAQ is up, and I'm working on my Cel Damage FAQ.

UPDATE:

Cel Damage FAQ is up. Yay! Forgot to use metapad to commit word wrap. D'oh! I'm at work right now, on my break, otherwise I'd fix it this moment.

The only thing my milkshake brings to the yard is a subpoena.

Hmm, haven't found anything to write for in months. Might do a Tomb Raider rewrite (well, already started; 5/15 levels done) but nothing's really grabbing me. Playing a bit of FFTA2 and Hoshigami DS lately, though.

Finished Snatcher. Without that hangin' over my head, it's time to screw around with some PSX classics I missed out on (Grandia and Vandal Hearts 2, mostly).
