On Instant Travel

I read somewhere that I should be able to travel instantly to those locations I have already visited.

From my map it appears I can travel just about anywhere right from the beginning of the game, certainly to any city or town.

Is this a bug?

One really annoying thing about Oblivion

I don't know if this has been addressed before, but one thing that I find really annoying is that EVERYONE will talk to me! Even though I am dressed in rags found on goblins I am actually allowed into the finest stores without being booted out. Beautiful women strangers stop and spend as much time ...

18 FPS isn't that great is it ...

I thought I had a good computer and now while running about outside I see 18 FPS.

I have a nVidia 5950 Ultra, cost me 500 bucks 18 months ago or so and I thought it was better than loving Lisa, but that's a different issue.
I have a gig of RAM and an AMD 3400+, running XP.

Do I really need to go ...

FPS how do you check?

Probably a dumb question but how do I know what my frame rate is in the game?

PC Express or ATI, or is it AGP?

Ok you probably figured out I know about as much as my cat does about hardware.

I bought Oblivian and thought I had everything to run it -3500+ Athlon, gig of ram and a nVidia 5950 with 256 megs of video ram.

Needless to say the game looks beautiful (and what a brilliant piece of work it is) but ...

The 1.3 patch didn't install automatically for me either. I had to manually copy all the new files to the proper directory.
However, it was worth it and the 1.4 patch makes the game whole, the way it should have been released.

Actually supply and demand does in fact work quite as simply as that, although it is not noticeable in price fluctuations on relatively inexpensive items like the beef in your example. What happens, in a free economy anyway, is that more and more people get into the business as there is more demand ...

Sorry I can't rember where the 66 meg zip file is, just that there is one out there.

My problem was simply not paying attention. All I know is that now I have started a new game I can customize my character, items break and a bunch of other cool stuff happens that didn't with 1.3.

Yep I'm installing into the right directory ... even have the GER text file in German, but thats all. The Directories update but none of the files in them do - how could that happen?

I think I will try a different GER 1.4 patch since the zipped version I got is only 51 megs and I saw a 66 meg one ...

When you run the German 1.4 patch that should update the game's initial screen should it not? I ran the German patch (to the Dreamcatcher sub-directory) and checked the files in DOS and none of them have changed, though the directories have datestamped the time I ran the German patch.

Anyway, in ...

Well I held off buying the game too because of the crap reviews.

The initial retail version was broken though, and I played a bit of it and was horrified at the bugs and ...
