I haven't had that ctd problem with my 6800, it runs nice enough (20 fps 
outdoors) at 1024x768.  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.

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.
