Isn't point of impact insignificant in Oblivion?

When I hit things in the head with my bow (because I can't aim for shit with my claymore), they die more often/take more damage.

It's weird how all swords held with two hands are "Claymores"... noone of them are paticularly large compared to what I would think is a normal two handed sword..!

Isn't a claymore supposed to be near the height of a man..?

How/who/when did you succeed at it?
no... just use a dagger to give as much sneak attack as possible.
For some times, my claymore sneak attacks for x2, but my dagger hits for x6. I'm pretty sure the dagger makes a coup-de-grace or something like that.

Also, make sure to hit them in the back/head/back of the head.

I'm not sure but if I sneak attack with a bow, there's higher damage on the head? dunno...

I won't be satisfied until you can garrotte someone.
With full animation.
dammit.

Also: why not be able to sedate victims first, like that possibly legendary
technique of putting chloroform in the air conditioner.

And I want a Silence spell to make the cries for help null.

And the ability to block escape with furniture barricades or Web
spells. or something like that.

You don't need a game for that. Just buy some duct tape and a hammer.

It's set that single handed weapons get bigger multipliers for sneak attacks. So you could use your steel longsword and still get that x6.

I use my shortsword.

And yes, Koki, I somewhat like it.

So in other words, all the use for a dagger is eliminated?
Even the speed wouldn't make up for it..!
What a load of...

What *might* interest you is that I have found several "magekiller" weapons.. they drain magicka/intelligence, usually, but some cast silence on the target on hit.
I'm somewhat sure that I have a silence enchantment on my char.

I have no idea wether or not it works, but it *would* be pretty nifty if it did.

As for barricading.. you'd think you'd be able to move around furniture, since you can buy a house, and since you can manipulate a lot of items.
Can't lockpick this chest? No problem, just carry it out

You can't drag furniture, if I recall correctly. Like, you can move apples, candles and chit, but not tables, desks and chests.

Freeform gameplay is but an apple's throw away!

That's redundant.

For some reason Oblivion made me play Kotor.

I'm getting it today, chaps, so standby for a totally awesome review you can trust sometime next week

baby arm · Post by **baby arm** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 7:38 pm

Yes, just like that awesome SR2 review you wrote.

Naked_Lunch · Post by **Naked_Lunch** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 7:45 pm

not my fault VD stole it

baby arm · Post by **baby arm** » Sat Apr 01, 2006 7:53 pm

Steal it back and say it's yours. No one will notice the difference because it's not Oblivion-related. They'll just say "Good job, NL" no matter who wrote it.

It's still in mail, hence I'm torrenting it right now.
