[edit] Someone add something about how to tell the day of the week.

I can't seem to figure out how to tell what day it is. In one article here it states that Mazoga the Orc goes hunting for Black Bow Bandits on "Monday's at 2pm" etc...but I can't tell what day is Monday and so on. I was able to find this: (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tamriel:Calendar#Days_of_the_Week), but if someone could use an actual date such as "Hearthfire 3E3443" or whatever and break it down with a visual it would be greatly appreciated.

[edit] Oblivion Map

It would be cool if you could click on a location and a screenshot would appear of the location.

[edit] Oblivion Try Out

I think many people would like something like a CREATOR, so you can see if you choose race NORD, birthsign WARRIOR and class WARRIOR how much strength you have, endurance etc...

Is it a bad idea? Why? Or is it a good idea? And why?

P.S. Do you prefer English or American English? ^{—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lennert Stijfhals (talk • contribs).}

I actually put together a page like this when I chose my Oblivion character, but never bothered to advance it beyond a basic HTML/javascript file on my PC; I've never bothered to upload it anywhere. I'll look into how difficult it would be to add to the wiki.

Also, the wiki tends to stick with American spelling, except when superceded by the game itself. DisplacedAvenger 13:20, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

There's actually already a website that has what you're looking for: Oblivion Character Creation (and there is a link to that site on UESP's Character Creation page). If someone wants to also develop some tools for UESP, they're welcome to, although tools like that on the site are not part of the wiki, which adds some complications to writing/uploading/maintaining them. --Nephele^Talk 22:28, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

[edit] My first contribution to a wiki (apologies if it's in the wrong place) — the 10, 10, 10, leveling strategy.

I've not posted to a wiki before (this is really confusing)

Anyway, I just wanted to draw your attention to my 10,10,10 Leveling Strategy thread at Bethsoft.com

It's a new way of leveling (or at least I've not seen it anywhere else) for pure characters, and includes my reasoning behind it:

Thought you might like to add it to the site.

Sincerely,

Chris

There's already a complete discussion of how to get 3 +5 attribute modifiers (or 2 +5, and +1 to luck) at Oblivion:Efficient Leveling. If you have any feedback on the page or any information you believe needs to be added, that article and its talk page would be the most appropriate place. --Nephele^Talk 12:59, 18 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Page for each person

I think we should all make a page on each person in all the games. For example: Make a page for Caius Coscades that is all about him. This would result in the entire website being linked very well and it would help people locate characters easily and know a bit more about them. I will start a few pages on people that haven't got their own pages yet. If the admin think this is a good idea then let me know.

Oblivion already has pages for everybody but we're not planning to do the same for Morrowind. Caius Cosades already has his own page as do a lot of others but due to the large number of NPCs in Morrowind we've decided not to create pages for non-relevant NPCs that aren't involved in quests and don't offer services. For more details, see this page. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 02:45, 21 January 2008 (EST)

[edit] Broken pages on the project page that need fixing.

I have always wondered why the stroked pages have never been fixed. Maybe somebody should get onto this. --Matthewest 23:46, 31 January 2008 (EST)

Unfortunately, these are Special Pages, which can't be changed by anyone, even Admins. The problem lies in the wiki's code itself, which can only be edited by Daveh, and he'd first have to figure out exactly what's causing these pages not to work properly. Rest assured, he's been made aware of the problems, but Daveh is a busy guy, and doesn't necessarily have the time to work on these less-than-vital issues. So we'll just have to wait until he gets around to them. In the meantime, there's still plenty to do that doesn't require the use of these broken tools. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 23:53, 31 January 2008 (EST)

Ok thankyou for letting me know. --Matthewest 00:04, 1 February 2008 (EST)
