It’s no secret that rumors about an Oblivion remaster have been circulating in the gaming world since a court document leaked in September 2023, hinting at its release during fiscal year 2022 – a timeframe that predates our access to it. As such, there was uncertainty as to whether it had been cancelled or if it was merely speculation, leaving us all guessing about its authenticity.
The original post from Next-Ad2971 delves into the struggles of playing Manor Lords on a MacBook Pro, sparking a series of thoughts about the game. The author, with a glass of deserved whisky in hand, emphasizes the shared frustration among gamers when their equipment fails them at a time they want to relax and play. They lament over software that is now “outdated” or “no longer supported,” a term which seems ominous, suggesting a sense of abandonment from their once-reliable gaming system. The feeling is clear: it’s like asking an old man to dance at a wedding – something that may have worked in the past, but now results in disappointment and reluctance. Users such as Next-Ad2971 are left in a quandary, wondering if there’s a solution or if their whisky might be better savored elsewhere.
In many games, particularly during raids, running low on iron can feel like a life-threatening situation for players. A player who recognized their predicament in the subreddit found themselves hastily constructing choke points using manor walls and strategically placing archers. Iron, essential for crafting stronger weapons, was elusive, creating a near-existential dilemma. However, this common problem sparked a wave of innovative solutions. Players suggested concentrating on camp raids and using the loot to hire mercenaries when required. One comment emphasized, “Raid bandit camps, store the rewards in your treasury, and hire mercenaries as needed,” demonstrating how resourceful players could modify their strategies to endure.
The core argument in TheDwarvenGuy’s post is that the materials used for construction within medieval times should be historically accurate. Gamers have raised concerns about the main construction material being large logs since they weren’t typically used during that era; instead, structures were predominantly made of wattle and daub, consisting of smaller logs and branches. One commenter points out that wattle and daub were more common in the past, expressing approval for incorporating a more authentic building design into the game.
The way people are responding to the gameplay of Roman Triumph varies, but Oropher1991’s positive comments underscore the appeal of combining city-building and combat, which has roots in popular past games. They note that it seems this game would appeal to our community, a sentiment echoed by many who value the blend of systematic city construction with tactical warfare. The excitement of creating not just an empire but confronting real-time conflicts mirrors the experience of Manor Lords players. However, Worried_Pipe3025, among others, finds it challenging to switch from playing Manor Lords to Roman Triumph’s style, suggesting a potential learning curve for those deeply immersed in the mechanics of Manor Lords.
In the vicinity of the Imperial Capital, I’ve noticed a series of posters plastered on walls, each featuring someone wanted. Approaching one of these posters and then striking up a conversation with a local beggar – say, Simplicia the Slow – and once her spirits are high enough (above 75%), inquire about the Gray Fox. Express your interest in working alongside him, and she should direct me towards the Garden of Dareloth in the Imperial Waterfront District, suggesting I be there at midnight.
To become part of the secretive Dark Brotherhood, it’s essential to catch their notice first. This can be achieved by carrying out a couple of seemingly ordinary murders, followed by spending a night at an Inn. As you sleep, a shadowy figure will rouse you and offer the “A Knife in the Dark” quest to fulfill. Successfully completing this task will earn your formal membership within the enigmatic Dark Brotherhood.
Joining the Mages Guild might be simple, as all you need is to approach one of the local Mages Guild leaders for permission to join, becoming an associate in return. However, if you aim to fully utilize the benefits this guild offers, such as the Arcane University, you’ll have to work a bit harder. This involves completing several recommendation quests at each of the main branches of the regional guild – Anvil, Bravil, Bruma, Cheydinhall, Chorrol, Leyawiin, and Skingrad.
Based on your standing with the fence, the cost of a lockpick can vary between 5 and 10 gold pieces per item (with some bargaining room), so it’s beneficial to improve their opinion of you as much as possible. Additionally, keep in mind that each fence’s supply of 100 lockpicks replenishes after a short period, which means if you require a large number of lockpicks, you might have to wait a few days.
