It's about an hour for a full day IIRC, just go take a shower or watch
a half hour show and come back and it'll be night.

Her house is out in the country so the only place to hide is in her house
and I am tresspassing there. Once she wakes up she gets all pissed off and
attacks me. I can't speed up time either because when you are tresspassing
it won't allow you to do that. I tried to kill her so I could stay in her
house until nightfall but she just goes unconscious and when she awakens she
attacks me again. |

I like to play dangerously. Using more than one save slot is for pussies
like you. 
The issue of the autosave crashing the game every time it loads is
Bethesda's fault and not mine. >> Stay informed about: Where's the next Oblivion patches. |

Yea, I've made that mistake before once so should know better but Oblivion
also auto-saves the game. The issue is that the auto-save keeps crashing the
game when I try to load it. With autosave I shouldn't have to use more than
quick-save if auto-save worked as advertised. Bethesda is to blame for this
and not me. >> Stay informed about: Where's the next Oblivion patches. |

Wake up and smell the coffee you cunt. It is the auto-save that has screwed
me over. If they didn't put one in then I would have manualluy saved the
game along with using quick-save. It's their auto-save that is buggy and
needs patching and not my brain you condescending POS. I've been gaming for
decades now. Probably before you plopped out of your mum's cunt and hit your
head on the floor. >> Stay informed about: Where's the next Oblivion patches. |

Thanks, I'll look that up as I didn't choose to play as a Vampire. I must
have killed some innocent during a battle because any time I tried to sleep
I would get Vampirism. I already have a Vampire RPG and neither one allows
me to play as Christoper Lee either. >> Stay informed about: Where's the next Oblivion patches. |

He, he, but if you are religiously saving every 5-10 mins you've only lost
that much time on the last save . In any case, what anal-retentive,
OCD-type old-school gamer allows their disk space to run out!? Pfft! ;-p

F5/F9 - can't confuse them on most keybs. Though there are a couple games
that had F11/F12 hardcoded & a couple other F-keys next to each
other...morons.

Wait, are you saying you cannot tell the difference between F11 and F12?
Don't your keys stop at F12? Oh well, I always map my save and load to
F11 and F12. 8+ years of playing Thief using those keys has made them
easy for me to find I guess.

Only two things, as far as I can tell. Your "combat efficiency
percentage" goes down because your kills:deaths ratio changes, which
has absolutely no effect on gameplay at all. And you have to walk back
from a shrine. Oh, how terrible. >> Stay informed about: Where's the next Oblivion patches. |

The reason he can't use the "wait" function is that he's trespassing,
and I think that actually makes sense as a design decision. Unlike
some of the other choices they made. >> Stay informed about: Where's the next Oblivion patches. |

that's funny, I had the exact same issue with being stuck in her house
as a vamp, and I was eventually able to make it to a local cave with the
aid of a few heal potions. There is one right down the river from her house.

Vampirism has nothing to do with killing innocents. It's a disease
which you only get when you fight vampires in the game, and it takes a
few days of infection before the vampirism starts. If you visit
shrines regularly and cure your diseases every few days, then there is
no way you will become a vampire. >> Stay informed about: Where's the next Oblivion patches. |
