I don't know if you can get the bandits to talk, maybe if you have your weapon sheathed. Have you got your horse yet? That's something you get following the main storyline, makes things easier. I got a little sidetracked from playing and have now just crossed my first Oblivion gate. How about Tomb Raider Legend? I've never been much of a fan of the series (I know you are) but the demo got me to go buy the full version. It's a nice looking game, the "next generation" content is too much for my "last generation" system unfortunately, though you should be able to handle it. Without that stuff on the game still looks and plays fantastic. Have you pre-purchased Sin Episodes on Steam yet? I just played through SiN 1 (which you get with the SE: Emergence pre-order) a couple of times, what a fun game, I can't wait for the Emergence release. as Easter and spring can't get here soon enough. We've been having rain practically every day since the beginning of March, I feel like I live in Seattle rather than Oakland. Supposed to finally have clear skies on Monday. -- Cthulhu for President in 2008. Why vote for a lesser evil? Steve ¤»Inglo«¤ www.inglostadt.com
