Archery in Oblivion - posted in PC Gaming: Probably in Morrowind and Skyrim as well. I noticed that NPCs get much better range than you do. For the player, Archery just plains SUCKS with vanilla bows and arrows. Bethesda certainly does not know a thing about archery. I used to teach archery. The range and speed of the arrows looks like it was fired from a 2 pound Draw Weight toy! Equipping arrows with a script - posted in Oblivion Mod Talk: Hello. I have the following 'problems' with a weapon script, maybe someone here knows a way around it.My character is a sneak, using primarily bows. After some time I got really tired of all the mini-stacks of two to five arrows of different flavor piling up in my inventory. Its a real hassle to switch back to the inventory. Uhh fuck that dude the best character is heavyarmour with bow and even if this is a glitch i dont care my charater is lvl 21 cause i just started him and i can already kill almost anything cause i got the arrows of cleansing arrows of the north winds and arrows of stormcall and duplicated all of them and i have like 200 storm call and 200 north.

Lure is one of the newest games on the App Store and it was showcased at our first ever LaunchPad event over the weekend. It's a fun, colorful game that is based on classic arcade-like experiences. It will quickly remind you of a game like Asteroids when you look at the design.
Its beautiful interface pops out, and it also is a game that can provide a bit of a challenge at times. You are an arrow and you have evil arrows chasing you around a big circle. Your goal is to lure the baddies towards orange, meteor-like circle to destroy it (hence the name 'Lure').
It can be tricky at times as you need to outwit your opponent. That said, it's really a fun, solid game that takes you back in time a bit, but with a beautiful modern layout. We give you some tips on how to stay alive, and to bring the bad arrow to its knees.
Use the edge
In Lure, you're using a pretty wide circle as your map. Take advantage of the edges of these locations to help trap your enemy. Staying near edges can you help you a few different ways. One immediate one is that it can help you avoid the meteor-like circle yourself.
In short, it can save you the embarrassment. Another thing is that you fake out the enemy if you stay on the edge near the meteor. While the enemy is following you, turn and basically go in a bit of a circle around the kill zone and let the enemy run into it. This applies mostly to the first level but can work for others too.
Going near the edges just makes you feel generally safe too. Now, I'm not saying to stick with them every single time, but just know that you can do so if you want to avoid danger at certain points. It's just good to know that these borders are here for you. After being near the edge, switch it up on them and let them catch the heat.
Work on turning
In Lure, your arrow moves automatically. Your main form of navigation is to make some turns. You can do this simply by pressing down on either side of your phone screen. Tap the right side to go right, and tap the left side to go more left.
It's important to get used to this because it can seem sensitive at first. That said, once you figure out, it's a walk in the park. Just know that you can make some pretty hard turns. You can end up making a complete U-turn by accident if you aren't careful.
It also can throw you off a bit at times too since your arrow is moving autonomously. Just know how to balance on how long you hold down on the screen. Sometimes tight turns can really be helpful too when you need them. That it some ways makes the game more fun because of how fluid the movements are.
Take advantage of slow-mo
One of the cool little gameplay features about Lure is the ability to go in slow-motion. This can only be done when an enemy is getting close to you. You then essentially go into a Matrix mode which slows down time. This is something you should definitely make good use of.
It's an excellent way to dodge enemies when they creep ever so closely to your blue arrow looking self. The good thing is that you don't need to press any button. It does this for you automatically, so all you need to do is be advantageous and get the heck out of the way.
Be sure to get used to this because it does obviously change your game flow on the fly, so you'd need to adjust for at least a couple of seconds. This is a fun feature that is also very helpful. Just please don't let them get close to you on purpose just because you like slow-mo, mmkay?

Daedric, Imperial, Crusader… there were so many armor types before the days of Skyrim that we tend to forget.
Oblivion offered some of the finest armor in the TES franchise, which means there's bound to be something in this list that you'll like.
However, it wasn't as easy as I thought to find entire quality sets of armor in Oblivion… but alas, I've managed to compile this ranking and I do hope it helps on your playthrough!
I've cast aside incomplete sets or individual pieces of equipment, so those of you who value aesthetical appearance should keep reading. Unique pieces of equipment collide with common but powerful sets – all in one place!
15. Brusef Amelion's Armor
How To Get: Find copies of this all throughout Amelion's Tomb.
Brusef Amelion's Armor is a set of light armor with an enchanted shield and cuirass.
You can get this after completing the quest Amelion's Debt.
You'll have to help Brusef's daugher, a kind gal named Biene, to retrieve the armor from her father's tomb so she can pay off some of her debts.
A fun quest with a great reward.
14. Imperial Dragon Armor
How To Get: You must complete the main quest of Oblivion to get your hands on this full set.
This armor isn't really taking a spot on my list because of how strong it is. In fact, the armor itself is rather useless by the time you find it in-game.
Once you're leveled up after completing the main quest, the Imperial Dragon Armor is just not too useful.
Why does it take a spot on my list, you ask? Well, just look at it.
It looks beautiful doesn't it? I'm a sucker for cool-looking armors, and this one takes the cake in terms of aesthetics.
Elder Scrolls Oblivion Wiki
13. Mithril Armor
How To Get: Mithril Armor can be purchased in shops after level 10.
Mithril armor hasn't really made any stellar returns ever since Oblivion. But one thing's for sure: this is one of the best types of light armor you'll find.
Mithril is a very popular material that is likely known among RuneScape fans, as it was one of the earliest types of 'quality' armor that you could get in the game.
Its design in Oblivion made it the favorite set of armor of many light dressers, as it pretty much resembled sets of heavy armor without providing the same encumbrances.
Worth looking into for sure. Not the strongest you can find, but it can handle itself pretty well.
12. Glass Armor
How To Get: After level 20 you'll start seeing it both dropped by enemies and in shops.
Glass armor is a classic type in The Elder Scrolls franchise.
Glass doesn't break easily in Oblivion, unlike in real life and other games.
In fact, I'm not even sure why they call this armor 'glass' apart from its reflective looks. You know, now that I'm writing this… I might go check out what's that about.
But what I really love about this set, apart from its fantastic defensive capabilities, is the fact that it glows at night. Why not look fabulous while slaying your mortal enemies?
11. Knights of the Nine Armor
How To Get: Found being worn by members of the Knights of the Nine.
Not to be confused with the Armor of the Crusader, the Knights of the Nine armor set is the basic set of light armor that is often found being worn by all members of the order.
It's a rather basic set, but it looks cool and it's easy to obtain. That's why it takes a spot on my list! Especially for early game.
10. Raiment of the Crimson Scar
How To Get: You can find this set of armor in Deepscorn Hollow, after installing The Vile Lair official plugin.
The Raiment of the Crimson Scar is a set that very much resembles the assassin's armor from The Dark Brotherhood.
Though it does have better effects and lacks a hooded version.
This fantastic set of armor fortifies various skills, which allow you to slay all sorts of foes without being detected.
And even possibly get away without a single scar from your battles. If you can get it with the Vile Lair plugin, definitely give it a try.
9. Armor of the Crusader
How To Get: Complete the Knights of the Nine quests to get the KotN armor set.
Also known as the enchanted version of the Knights of the Nine armor, the relics of the Knights of the Nine are found when you install the KotN DLC.
Note you will need to complete some quests in the main storyline if you wish to get your hands on the full set.
But doing so guarantees that you can access to one of the strongest sets of armor, especially at this level in the game.
It's enchanted to boot, and you can get it in light as well as heavy variants.
8. Daedric Armor
How To Get: This armor starts spawning after you reach level 20. It can be found both inside the Oblivion Portals and on the outside of them, by facing Dremora Lords in Cyrodiil.
You'll find it very difficult to come across a piece of armor that looks even half as badass as the Daedric Armor set in Oblivion.
Even after all the DLCs were released, the Daedric armor remains as the strongest piece of unenchanted armor in the game.
Getting your hands on a full set of Daedric is much more difficult to do in Oblivion than it is in Skyrim.
Few warriors are lucky enough to complete the set. Those who do, however, are very difficult to take down.
7. Morag Tong Assassin Armor
How To Get: Complete the 'Unearthing Mehrunes' Razor' quest if you wish to obtain the full set of Morag Tong Armor.
This full set of armor is identical to any leather armor set in the game, except that it's fully enchanted and much more difficult to obtain. A small difference, I know.
The entire set fortifies acrobatics and sneak by as much as 40 points each, making it one of the best options that a thief or assassin can wear.
You must have the Mehrunes' Razor plugin installed, though.
So if you wish to obtain the set check it out, cause that's the only way to access the Unearthing Mehrunes' Razor quest!
6. Dark Seducer Armor
How To Get: Dark Seducer Armor can only be obtained by completing The Helpless Army quest in the Shivering Isles DLC.
This armor is leveled, which means you'll get different attributes depending on your own level.
However it's a great choice for light armor (yet one of the costliest sets).
It can only be obtained with the Shivering Isles DLC and looks different depending on the genre of your character.
5. Amber Armor
How To Get: Get Dumag gro-Bonk, who lives in the Shivering Isles, to craft this set for you. The set must be crafted with Amber ore.
Amber Armor is one of the sleekest choices for light armor in the game, although one of the most difficult ones to get.
You'll need a total of 16 pieces of amber ore (found only in the Shivering Isles) if you wish to craft the full set.
A perfect set offers almost 6k defensive points, which is more than half of what the Daedric set offers. Not too shabby for a light set, huh?
4. Umbra's Ebony Armor
How To Get: You can find this set by killing a Bosmer named Umbra inside Vindasel.
This set of armor shares the same stats as any other piece of Ebony armor in the game. But it is leveled up, meaning that the weakest you can get this set is at level 15.
An overall solid set for early to even late game.
3. Madness Armor
How To Get: The Madness Armor can be forged with Madness Ore in the Shivering Isles DLC.
Madness Armor is the heavy counterpart of the Amber Armor.
This one also needs to be forged, but you need to use Madness Ore in order to do it.
It's massively strong. And if you manage to craft its perfect version, you'll have a higher defensive value than what you get with Daedric!
2. Golden Saint Armor
How To Get: This set of armor can be obtained after completing The Helpless Army in the Shivering Isles DLC.
The Golden Saint Armor looks a bit like Dwarven armor.
But it offers better stats that are tied to your level so it helps way more in late game.
Get it after level 20 if you wish to obtain its strongest version.
1. Knight of Order Armor
How To Get: It can only be obtained by console commands. Trust me, it's worth it.
The Knight of Order Armor is one of the most unique sets of armor in the game by far, and definitely taking the #1 spot here.
This set, shamefully, cannot be obtained by any regular means. Only by the use of console commands.
Oblivion Ps3 Wiki
Yet I'd say if you're comfortable with that, it's totally worth it. The set offers great protection but also importantly, it looks really cool!
