For those that don’t know, in OG oblivion, it was possible to clone the unfinished staff item you get by advancing the mages guild quest line, and in doing so, enchant the copy yourself, it would then function as a unique staff that basically had no range and was on hit.
Before I go doing all the recommendation quests for nothing, i wanted to know if this was still possible now?
I’ve looked online, one of them requires me starting the main quest which I don’t want to do for a while, and it also says vampires drop them, to which I’ve tried and only found grey robes, can anyone help?
Edit: managed to find some in the second vampire cave :)
Here’s the scenario specifics, assume you speak fluent Japanese and live near enough to actually be able to attend the same school, and are the same age as Futaro, but otherwise you are just you, what is likely the result?
Honestly? I think I’m not offering much, for as bad a first impression as Futaro made, I simply don’t have had the drive to study, I think I’d be gone before a day past, but what about you?
I play on Xbox, so mods do not fix this unfortunately, it’s basically the one issue I can’t look past, there is plenty more they need to fix to be sure, but this oversight is frustrating, and with no patch in sight, unforgivable.
This applies to necklaces at minimum, but I think there’s also an issue with rings too. When changing locations (mostly going from an interior to an exterior and vice versa) any warn necklace disappears in 3rd person completely. It will show in the inventory screen just fine, but the only way to make it appear in 3rd person short of maybe a reload, is to unequip and reequip it.
That’s not hard, but it gets old real quick, because as it happens, you tend to change locations in oblivion a lot. It got so annoying I had to assign the necklace to the quick wheel so I can temp fix it every few minutes, I shouldn’t have to do that.
The lack of ways to communicate issues like this really annoys me, its like these people who could fix it don’t play their own game.
I’ve been trying to get a specific mythic while waiting for a red wild card, so to increase my chances, I thought I’d spend the extra 300 gold to get a mythic pack, only to get this pack which has me questioning the choice.
Surely for that 300 extra gold, I shouldn’t be getting a pack like this, it legitimately seems like a rip off to me.
This must be around 2018 or so, I posted the character here and loads of people were staggered i‘d made such a good looking character in oblivion (360 copy)
It’s been years, I ended up getting so fast the game would crash which felt a fitting place to end the character, but I wanted to share once again, because why not?
A little sad that I can’t really create this character in the remaster for a bunch of reasons, for one, I just can’t seem to get the face right, there’s an innocence to her that i always miss with the remake, for the second is colour, not only does the remaster not offer quite as much hair colour options without the rgb system, but all the green magic (I made custom spells that included light spells to make them green) are basically gone, i miss when starlight was randomly green for some reason.
A character lost to time, perhaps one of the few that was done best on the original game, anyway, thought i’d walk down memory lane with you all :)
First of all shoutout to Casey Mongillo on YouTube who was the source for this. I apologise if this is common knowledge, I’ve played this game 20 years and I’d never known about the method.
(Skip to the bottom for the tutorial)
The technique was shown to work on the remaster, but seeing as I wanted to share it around I tested it on the 360 oblivion and it’s basically identical!
Now for the tutorial and warnings.
This doesn’t just allow you access to change your hair, it opens the whole menu, meaning you could change your class, race and birthsign, but before you get all excited at the potential that has, a warning:
Changing something like your race will reset your level, I haven’t tested this much, best I can tell just changing your hair or skin tone won’t cause any issues, but i can’t speak to anything more, do this at your own risk.
Here’s how it works, you need a save before you first exit the sewers, I haven’t checked to see if it needs to be the same character, it’s possible any will work, but for the sake of argument let’s say it needs to be the same one.
Its the same for both remaster and the original, obviously with a few differences in UI (the original has a dedicated save menu as opposed to the remake)
As a small little quirk, I tested what happens if the save you want to edit isn’t in the sewers in the remaster, it doesn’t appear to work, but when you next load a save in the sewers, it brings up the menu.
Anyway, hope this helps someone, let me know if you need any help, I’ll do my best to assist.
Special thanks to Regal-Onion who gave me the sliders to make the character, I made very small changes here and there to get the perfect look, honestly over the moon with how they’ve turned out. (forgive the apparel, I had to share it frame one)
I was really struggling with making a character that I liked, i think people who can are wizards.
Anyway, feel free to guess the theme/let me know what you think, and provide class name recommendations based on appearance :)
I’ve not used this service before, so I wanted to make sure I’ve done everything right.
Trying to pay with that method tells you to send it to their account, I’ve put the reference number card market showed me in both the reference field and the statement reference, because of conversion rate i‘ve went slightly over, it says it goes out Monday, so I assume if I check my account by then I’ll see it’s left my account, at which point it should show as my card market balance?
Only thing I’m slightly concerned about is it says “the foreign bank may also charge the payee a handler fee which will be deducted from the total” I’m hoping it’s as simple as waiting now, wanted to check.
I ended up only getting a couple episodes through season 2 when i first started, and decided to finally watch start to finish because of the magic cards.
I think the casting was clearly perfect, everyone felt spot on, but I think the writing overall was a little inconsistent.
Season 1 is my favourite, watching the characters interact with each other and get used to their abilities was really well done.
Season 2 was half really good, where it started to loose me was now characters reacted to Chase leaving (his reasoning seemed very normal to me) and how the parents justified attacking them (I know some were mind controlled, but some weren’t)
Season 3 though, is all over the place to me, why was Alex’s mothers death so inconsequential to him as a character (we see little bits here and there, but he’s never seen really dealing with it) why is his farther with his wifes killer and that’s just accepted? Why did we just magically flush the aliens away never to be seen again?
Karolina and old lace were done dirty, the former somehow forgot she could fly/glow, and the latter was a cameo (we really see Gurt finally control her just for it to never mean anything)
In general I think their parents weren’t handled great this season, odd moments like the alien support group over more explanation on why Chase’s mother wanted to become an A.I, or scenes of grieving for the lost family members (or heck, let Nico go crazy again at the very idea of leaving her sister behind)
I get some things were intended to have been explored later on, the magic baby for example, is an unfortunate result of never getting a 4th season, but cloak and dagger’s cameo was so weak that if I hadn’t just finished that series I would have thought they were poorly written, this series felt like it was rushed beyond belief.
All that said; I wish we got more, I wish we had seen them show up in other properties, had their own arcs, I feel like any future recasting they try to do ever will be impossible for me to accept, Nico in particular if I had the power would be in a midnight suns adaption like yesterday (I know she’s technically reprised her role for the game so there’s that)
Anyway, those are my thoughts, maybe one day I’ll get my wish.
Thought this was worthy of pointing out, back as recent as last year, we were waiting upwards of an extra two months for lairs (think sonic was late August?) today my witch lair from last Monday arrived and I didn’t even see it had shipped, thought that was worthy of mention.
I’ve actually had some decent look over the years making a character in OG oblivion I can tolerate to look at, but when playing the remake I really struggle.
Specifically when making a female character either they look too much like the default preset, or they look like an abomination with no in between, I’m a bit stuck snd thought I’d ask.
i play on Xbox so if any pc solutions exist I sadly do not have access to them.
Official word from Jay on arena team:
The special frames aren’t off the table but they didn’t have time to implement them, the avatars come on the 23rd.
from being put off from building a deck because I don’t think it would be good enough/fast enough to compete, to toxic behaviour like grudges shifting between games, or for removing someone’s threat, i want to make sure I’m not crazy thinking this isn’t normal edh gameplay.
It certainly didn’t start like this, but it feels like certain personalities in the group can take over a game, I show up to play and don’t know who I’m going against, if i’m lucky it’s the nice ones, but if my pod ends up being like this i’ve realised I leave feeling frustrated, drained and annoyed.
Now obviously communication is what you’re supposed to use to fix this, it’s a game, it’s supposed to be fun, I know that, but try as I might I just can’t get through to them, they’re a sarcastic bunch, and I’m questioning if i should play less of the game, avoid joining a pod (isn’t always possible depending on number) or what.
Everyone else is fine with how things are, I can tell based on what I’ve seen and heard, it’s been bothering me for a while, and gotten worse of late.
As much as I’m looking for advice on this beyond talking to people which so far has just made me seem whiny, I’m also interested in hearing from others who may have had similar grievances with people they don’t get along with terribly well, the sad truth is that i really don’t have a massive choice in terms of alternative play groups, it’s this or quit commander, much as I love it at times, I could see myself resenting the game if things go on.
Just a random thought that crossed my mind, what if jack of blades we see in the trailer was the hero from fable 1, and this is an alternate timeline of sorts where jack took him over?
Its almost certainly just a cool reboot they’re doing, but wanted to put it into the ether.
The new [[Nico Minoru, runaway]] card looks really fun and I’m planing on that being my next deck. What sounds the most fun to me is a mix of big spells and ways to put them on the top of the library, but since she limits me to red and colourless, I’m looking for some cards similar to brainstorm but in red to do this and hoped some of you fine players might have some ideas.
Up to now what I’ve got is scrying effects which sort of do this, though I’m sure there’s more efficient methods I’m not familiar with.
I know some people are planning on playing loads of lands and only a couple spells to make her more effective, but that doesn’t sound fun to me personally.
I was randomly watching the good place of all things, and it hit me that this series’s choice often gets looked as something divisive, it is of course, but there’s an angle I don’t think most people think about.
Lets say your confessed to by a single person who you’re close to, chances are you’d at least consider it if not say yes, but if multiple people had confessed to you then it‘s very likely you wouldn’t respond the same way. For better or worse, because multiple people confessed to Futaro in some shape or form, they didn’t get the closure they would have gotten had it just been one of them, competition while not always intentional is a real thing, and that is why it can feel a bit disappointing on a first watch, because his attention is split five ways.
Ultimately it’s better for this, but i think it makes total sense that instead of saying yes and no to one, he chooses and lets that action be a response to the others.
Apologies for a somewhat niche topic, but I thought it might be an interesting observation.
For those unfamiliar, in mtg, there are five colours, while cards can be multiple, each represents a personality trait among other things, for example red is the colour of acting out of emotion and impulse which sounds very Nino.
White is about loyalty and justice, trying to do selfless acts for example, I feel like this fits Itsuki to a tee.
Blue is the colour of insight, and calmness, taking things slow to accomplish one’s goals properly, and pursuit of study, that seems very Miku to me.
Black isn‘t an evil colour like many might assume, it’s about doing what one wants without thought of the consequences of others, it’s essentially the colour of selfishness. While she isn’t completely like this, Ichika definitely does whether she wants if she wants it badly enough, and seems the most likely to do this, we’ve seen what happens if she unleashes her true self.
Green is the colour of growth and strength, the natural order of things. I think Yotsuba fits this more than any of them, she grows a lot being she had the lowest scores, and she’s the strongest of them all easily.
So anyone having read this will probably find themselves thinking “hang on, this is just boiling down one or two of each quints traits, it’s not a perfect representation of who they are“
And you’re right, much like in real life, you wouldn’t be one of these things, we all have aspects of each colour, we can all be impulsive at times, and studious at others, help those in need or act in one’s self interest, the same would be true of these characters. This is just showing which is their dominant side which I think overlaps quite nicely with this games philosophy.
As for why it does? It’s because each quintuplet was written well to have their own personality and act in their own unique way.
I’m a big Tamiyo fan (ever since I pulled her planeswalker card in Avacyn Restored) so when I could finally build a edh deck with her as a legal commander, I jumped at the chance, but sadly things are rarely simple.
As we all know [[Taimyo, Inquisitive student]] is a very good card, and well, i thought keeping it in flavour by including all the Tamiyo cards I could find would make for a cool deck, showing off Tamiyo’s life story from her planeswalker spark to her compleation was the goal, and though it was made before brackets, I still wanted to win with it, since I knew no one in my playgroup would actually care about the thematics, so it was never meant to just be bracket one or anything.
So, I needed a win con, since one of the Tamiyo cards gives poison counters, that was the main one I went with, I know people hated poison, so included two sources, and the gameplan of the deck revolves around Ultimating Tamiyo, drawing my methods for poison and proliferating to ten, people don’t stick around that far, they see the emblem and scoop.
So I‘ve come here to get feedback on the list, there are extra turn spells which I use to win the game, i think they’re probably the glue that holds the deck together since they can also help her ultimate, and a clue sub theme i’d love to build around, but sadly don’t possess nearly enough cards to make anytime in the foreseeable future.
Lastly, for context, the decks my group uses? I couldn’t give a number persay, but they’re not bracket 2, some of them are really optimised, I’d say between 3 and 4, i lose a lot more than I win i’d say.

Any help and suggestions appreciated, even if it’s just something to work towards long term, I’d like to be able to bring this deck more than twice a year without feeling bad.
