  Oh I dunno, when I looked it up I thought it said that not the entire game was there...not sure what that meant.

  So I've started my oblivion character and I'm pretty pleased with him so far.

  Orc, sorcerer, lady stone, I cant decide whether its fun or annoying that I have to relearn alchemy.

  But I need advice on what a sorcerer does with close combat and no magicka, I seem to run out of magicka very quickly and was wondering what other sorcerers did while their magick refills. I chose the hand to hand option pretty early but have already had a few close calls.

  I don't know, when I play mage characters I do the same thing I do in Skyrim and just run away or learn a melee skill on the side. I've never really had a problem. I never use the pre-made classes, but I'm pretty sure Sorcerers have Conjuration, and if so you can just use your minions to tank for you while you regenerate magicka. Or just stock up on magicka potions.

  I haven't really used summons much, they seem to use a large chunk of my small magicka reserves and don't last long. Money (or lack of) prevents me from storing a lot of potions, and staves are ridiculously expensive.

  This sounds negative but I am enjoying the game. And on the plus side of using hand to hand my heavy armour is levelling pretty fast. My cheap spells don't do enough damage and I cant use more than 3 good ones at a time. its early days in game still.

  What I usually do in these situations is that I really depend on scrolls and Alchemy. Hoarding useful scrolls with damage effects, poisons and potions can get you out of trouble. I don´t need a skill in Blade even when I am using dagger, because most of the damage is done by magic or poisons.

  Thanks, I've been mixing what get but haven't really been using alchemy seriously yet. I might have a read of some alchemy pages before I play next.  Why don't we have the portable alchemy table in skyirm.

  Making alchemy anywhere you want is certainly awesome. If you´re looking for basics on Alchemy, check my guide here in TES Classics to get hold of it. After that, it will feel natural for you to mix something up. You´ll have some picture on which ingredient does what.

  A sorcerer avoids close combat until his heavy armour skill is at a level where he/she can tank the damage, to conserve Magika use touch spells, here is a beauty, although access to the Arcane university is required, weakness to magic 100% for 5 sec on touch, this is the primer, you have up to 5 sec to follow up with weakness to magic 100% 1 sec on touch Drain health 100% 1 sec on touch, this spell,  if used correctly on default difficulty, will kill most ememys under level 15 after that  use the primer twice but call it something else so primer + primer 2 + Drain health 100% 1 sec on touch this multiplier for weakness to magic works, as I have tested it myself, enjoy the rest of your play, Oblivion is a great game

  Sorry, Bonelord, but I can´t really help you, because I have played all games on PC. I am not aware of the fact that you can play Morrowind on 360 but I remember someone mentioning that.

  EDIT: I have searched through Google and found there are hard copies of Morrowind for 360. So, I guess you can play it on 360.
