the OBLIVION thread

i'm a little late to jump on the oblivion train. i played it on 360 back in the day and recently got another copy for PC, so here i am :)

there are TONS of mods out there. im using:

- open cities *edit* there is a major performance hit with this mod, so i don't suggest using it
- grumblepunks lockpick mods
- realistic force
- reneers guard overhaul
- JOG stealth overhaul
- vaults of cyrodiil
- unofficial oblivion patch

i've heard of OOO but it seems to have a lot of compatibility issues with other mods so i have been avoiding it. what mods do you guys use?

This sounds interesting. Finished the main and haven't played in a while, maybe these will pull me back into it.

If you don't mind, what do each of those mods do?

don't mind at all :D

- open cities - gets rid of loading screens when entering cities, to create a more fluid transition into them like morrowind had. overall just makes cities more enjoyable *note* major performance hit with this mod, use only if you have a monster of a machine

- grumblepunks lockpick mods - allows crafting of lockpicks from certain metallic objects scattered around cyrodiil

- realistic force - more realistic physics. when you jump on a table, the objects don't shoot across the room.

- reneers guard overhaul - changes the way guards interact with you. if you get caught sneaking around they will follow you. if you attack a secluded guard and manage to kill him without anyone finding out, your bounty doesn't go up. before, you could hit a guard that was alone in the middle of the forest and instantly be wanted. this mod just changes their whole behavior and makes them more fun IMO

- JOG stealth overhaul - makes stealth more useful. makes darkness hide your character more, makes your armor effect how well you sneak, makes it easier to hide during combat, etc

- vaults of cyrodiil - adds an extremely well guarded vault to the castle of each city. they take a lot of planning and skill to pull off without getting killed or arrested, but the rewards are amazing. think oceans 11 :)

- unofficial oblivion patch - fixes random bugs. basically makes the game way more playable

exactly what i have done this weekend. wake up, play oblivion all day, go to bed in anticipation of waking up and doing it all over again :D




also, here are some payware addons from bethesda. all are very inexpensive

and this is a great guide at tweaking it to run smoothly on your system. disabling vsync is the single most important thing you should do

alright i played it for a few hours, and decided not to use it anymore. the biggest thing the mod changes is how it presents new content to you. standard oblivion is based on your level... new weapons and enemies etc are unlocked as you progress further in the game. OOO changes that, and you can have access to any item and any enemy... that is of course, if you happen to find them. i didn't like it, because i spent most of my time trying to find enemies that were somewhere near my level. i would often go into a cave or dungeon and get one hit killed by the first enemy i saw, and have to start over. there is also a bug that causes the game to crash whenever your character dies and you select a game to load. this may be just on my machine, but still. the content i saw was well designed. there was a jaguar for example, that had realistic animations, good sounds etc. it seems like more of a mod that is suited to the people with high levels characters looking for new content to explore. if you are lower on the totem pole and starting a new character, the mod doesn't suit you very well.

All those extra add-ons come bundled with the Retail version of "Knights of the Nine" which costs $20 US. If you buy them separate, you'll pay ~$24 US :P

o rly :D

in that case, i have all of them already. although the prophet outside the church you have to talk to to activate the knights of the nine quests isn't there. i have the quest, and the icon marker takes me a spot with nothing there
