He probably toggled off grass for the extra fps.
Back in 2008 on my Geforce 7300gt, turning off grass increased my fps from 20 to 40.
Currently I've been using the enchanted tent mod. I'm enjoying it so far, especially since I don't fast travel. It's cool riding into town, setting up a tent, and then hanging out there for a few days while I do quests and get to know the city.

Whats with all the Oblivion threads lately? Is Bethesda planning a re-release?
>Oblivion looked this bad
I still clearly remember it being absolutely stunning the first time I played it. Walking through the forest with deer frollicking around
Is the waterfront shack any good? With the soundtrack from Oblivion, just about any part of it seems so comfy.

stop modding, start playing
The torch drop mod paired with realistic lighting makes dungeon fights so much more engaging.
Losing your last torch to a deep puddle during a fight with spooky skeletons has never been this spooky.

Except the view distance there isn't much difference, is there?
>>340146053
While the game has it's flaws, there are two things that truly upset me about Oblivion:
1) It was made with consoles in mind, so it by default has a hiddeous UI that one needs to install Darnified to rid themselves of
2) It's poorly optimized. Having a beastly rig will not protect you from frame drops or performance issues, which I guess may as well be attributed to #1.
>>340146037
how did I not know about this mod? I need to stop fapping and get the good subtle comfy immersion mods
>>340146372
I know that feeling all too well, man.
There are quite a few but in the webm I'm using drop lit torches obse.
>>340146372
You need to.
But you won't.
>>340146372
Also, speaking of cozy, there's this summonable cabin that I don't really use but like to keep installed anyways. Something about how compact it is really makes me like it.
Oblivion is so much better than skyrim, I mean even the thief quest line? SERIOUSLY COME ON
>That first time you played Oblivion
What was your first character? It was my first ES game and I thought Argonians seemed pretty cool so I made an Argonian with a focus on heavy armors and melee.(Not a furry...scalie...whatever. I promise.)Never realized how much I missed the disease/poison resistance and underwater breathing until I made further non-argonians. I remember fucking up and making my character have an underbite though.
>>340146708
Small houses are the best houses
>>340146708does such a thing exist for skyrim?
closest thing I can find is
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/41902/?
>>340146861
A damn good questline. I really like the fact that the game can be played without having to rely on quest markers.
The journal system in Skyrim gives absolutely no information, it's just "Find DickBucker Cave" and expects you to follow an arrow to get there.
>>340146872
Played a medium-light armor Dunmer with shortsword and bow. But I think I finished the main quest with a human warrior.
>>340146872
I played an Argonian and became a vampire, didn't figure out the way to cure it so I went the entire game annoyed as fuck.
>>340145180
just looks like console oblivion to me
>>340146872
an Imperial stealth archer
>>340146971
Not that I know of, but that does look pretty cozy as well.
>>340146037
>>340145507
>>340146708
These Webm makes me want to play this game
>>340146872
I think we can all relate to having an ugly ass character. I made my character in Mass Effect look like a retarded Asian version of myself.
THREE GAMES.
THREE GAMES I stuck with my retarded Asian doppelganger.
Anyways, my first time playing Oblivion I was clueless, I picked a Nord and distributed my stats allover the fucking place.
>he didnt do the first db quest and keep the ship for homself
>>340146872
Argonians are literally the only class I made in consoleblivion.
Fun shit with your friends over the weekend taking turns. Shit was truly magical.
Now I play the game of modding and testing for ten hours then losing interest.
;-;
>>340147238
You can do that?
>>340146996
I think that happened to me. But I didn't even know you could become one. I remember waiting outside and when the wait was done, I'd instantly die. Thought my game was glitched and played for a couple days without knowing why I'd randomly take damage or why I looked like dogshit. Felt dumb as hell when I realized I was a vamp and the sun was kicking my ass.
>>340147238
you just gave me a flashback to trying to do the ghost ship quest in anvil way unprepared. So I noped out but the ghosts followed me and proceeded to murder like half the town before the guards managed to put them down with their silver swords
>>340147308
I think the way to get past that is to just force yourself to sit down and play.
I know personally I would sit, test my mods, and then be like "Oh now I want a mod for THIS" and then 3 hours later I have 20 new mods and haven't really played the game at all.
Just sit and go for it, keep a little list of mod ideas to focus on later.
>>340147373
Fucking kek.
These sorts of unintentional and random chaos is what made the game for me. I remember I was given the frenzy scroll as a part of a quest, I used it not knowing exactly what it would do and it resulted in so many innocent, good people dying.
Do it, Grand Champion!
>>340146872
My first was Argonian, because lizardmen are cool. As class I choose spellsword, because heavy armor, sworss and magic are cool, also the class picture was nixe.
It was fun hulking around as heavy lizard with big 2h sword and full of magic.
I will never have that fun again in any game.
>>340147556
Just traveling the roads from town to town was so comfy
>>340147327
Yep just need to wait for bodies to despawn
>>340147675
..
Welp, time to get on Oblivion for a sec.
>>340146872
>Never realized how much I missed the disease/poison resistance and underwater breathing until I made further non-argonians.
I felt the same way about Bretons and their magic resistance.
>>340146993
>The journal system in Skyrim gives absolutely no information, it's just "Find DickBucker Cave" and expects you to follow an arrow to get there.
Plus, the quests themselves usually have almost no story, just "I want this item. Go to [dungeon] and get it."
>>340147556
I need to replay Oblivion.
>>340147556
what mods are you using?
the timer on those cooldowns especially
>>340146872
Breton, swing my mighty magic dick left and kills hundreds. Swing it right and kill thousands. Jizz summons out 24/7, never get hit always in the back casting fire like a mad man.......man i miss those days
Which elder scrolls is thecomfiestmodded?
>>340146872
I made an Imperial without knowing shit about the game or its mechanics. Immediately raided the first dungeon outside the sewers and started adventuring. I think I made it to the second to last Dark Brotherhood mission somehow before realizing there's a main quest in the game. Good shit.
>>340148008
The HUD (and timer) is from Darnified UI. As shown in the webm it also fixes Oblivion's horrible default compass.
The minimap is from the map called Minimap - Reboot.

My vote would go to Oblivion. There's this one spot that's completely isolated and unmarked. It has no purpose to it's existence but it's one of the most coziest things I've ever seen. It's like a safe, small pond surrounded by flowers and is surrounded by mountains. It has no place marker, I downloaded a mod just so I could mark it for a teleportation spell.
>>340148416
Where is it? I'd like to check it out.
Is it my nostalgia or was the writing actually good?
>>340148416
does it have a waterfall? I think I know this spot
>>340146872
I picked a Redguard after reading all the race descriptions and thought them the coolest. I did make him white with the character editor, because I didn't know they were canonically black.
>>340148781
>>340148640
I'm gonna hop on in a sec and get the map location. It pretty much made me want to start exploring more.
>>340148818
>I did make him white with the character editor, because I didn't know they were canonically black.
lmao
>>340148881
If it's the place I'm thinking of there is a house/cave mod.
>>340146037
Haven't touched Oblivion in years, what ui mods you using?
Is there a mod to get rid of quest markers and still leave enough information to know where to go? There were some really good ones for Skyrim, although I don't remember them now.
>>340145613
Why would you need a re-release when you can mod the game to modern visuals anyway.
>>340148416

That's Darnified UI paired with the minimap from Minimap - Reboot.
>>340149021
The journal system in Oblivion is pretty detailed, definitely detailed enough to rely on. There's a mod called Perfect Working No Quest Markers, it's a small mod but basically it makes all quest markers transparent.
>>340148953
I don't have a house or cave there but Cyrus from Better Cities was actually hanging around nearby.

>>340146872
The first character I made in Oblivion was an Imperial. Made sense to me to make one since it was an Imperial province and all. The first I made in Morrowind was an argonian because lizardmen are fucking cool. They looked decidedly less lizard in Oblivion too and more like humans with a different head. And the argonian VA was unpleasant too.

OBMM is better for Oblivion. Use MO for Skyrim.

I do use OBMM, but I use it through MO.
It's a lot easier that way.
>>340151436
Just mod it in Sambo.
I can't wait until 2021 when /v/ starts to defend Skyrim.
>>340151969
Really great, enjoyable storyline. Best part is the level progression and world though. There are two main downsides though. One is that in later areas you'll find that if your pc is a toaster it will get really taxed by the amount of environmental shit around and two is storywisethe trashy fantasy really comes out in force.
Still have to finish that game. I think I'll start again since my last file corrupted.
>>340152872

>tfw games by 2021 will be so shit that Skyrim will actually look good in comparison
>>340152872
The entire basis for this argument is a logical fallacy.
The "In x years they'll defend y" argument falls apart when the reasons for hating/defending something is being analytically presented.

/tesg/ has a decent site in the OP so you don't need to ask http://www.tesgeneral.com/#!oblivion-guide/c1pnd
There's also this nice guide http://pastebin.com/75fzM5te
Anyone ever realize TES flip flops the chosen one cliche a lot?
TES:A-You're a random schmuk who is chosen to defeat Jagar Tharn and free the Emperor, you're not really allowed to forge your own path.
TES:DF-Again, you're not outside of fate, you were meant to pick one option at the end, but somehow you caused the universe to have a seizure which became known as the Warp in the West.
TES:M-You are the chosen one, but also not. Maybe. You are free to do as you damn well please, even if it means fucking up the prophecy. You are outside any laws set by the gods because you are outside fate itself. Infact you even kill a couple of gods (one of whom was at low power, the other you had to dodge and block while hitting his power source) and beat the shit out of a daedric prince.
TES:O-You're sort of a chosen one but kinda aren't, you're like Nerevar, placed outside of fate, but you aren't the one that saves the world technically. You're the main character in the story but you aren't the Hero. You at least control your fate like Nerevar. Enjoy being the new mad god!
TES:S-You're the chosen one with a leash. Your life's goal is to kill Alduin, that takes priority. However once that's done you're free to do as you please. Your soul belongs to Akatosh above all else unless you royally fuck up.
>/v/ is now praising Oblivion and thinks its a 10/10 nostalgia game
I knew this was going to happen, welp time to clock out.
What are some essential-yet-vanilla mods for Oblivion? Gonna play it for the first time
>>340156359
Yeah Shezarrines are a thing.
>>340156549
>Gonna play it for the first time
Get the unofficial patches, high texture pack and Darnified UI.
>>340156628
How about the enemy scaling? I heard that it's bad
>>340156571
So is mantling, which I honestly like to think happened with your character in Morrowind. I would ask if it's possible that the DB is a Shezarrine but I don't know the lore that well besides "Anything is canon, yes even that mod that lets you drive a pick up truck."
>>340145149
Probably not because of the view or anything, you did it because it was your starter home and all of your shit is in there. Are you really gonna lug all of that shit and resort it into another house? No. Unless you are autistic.
>>340152942
>>340151969
I just finished it, it is better in my opinion than skyrim's main quest/s

Man, lighting mods make a huge difference in TES games.
I was just recently playing a modded Skyrim install for the first time, just joined the master race, and the feeling was indescribable when:

>torch gutters out
>shit
>hear a hiss in the darkness
>two blue eyes appear
>two more
>two more
>pull another torch out
>have to fight three draugr that now hit like fucking trucks

I fucking love this install. I'm thinking of going back to Oblivion with a modded install and seeing what kind of fun I can have there.
>>340146872
Khajiit nightblade. Did the Theives Guild first after "accidentally" nicking some sweet shit out of a magic store. Had been arrested a couple times before so I had the foresight to stash my shit in an empty box before being hauled to prison.
Then some bitch approached me and told me about the thieves guild, so I joined.
With that Gray Cowl, man. And after finding that Skeleton Key, holy shit. I was the fucking prowler on the rooftops, I burgled every large house in every fucking city.
The basement in the Skingrad house? I'd just thrown item after item in there, stolen silver fixtures, weapons, armor, my framerate was dipping so hard with all this sweet stolen shit.
I burgled almost everything of value in the Imperial City without being so much as seen entering or leaving by anyone.
... I wanna go back to Cyrrodil.

Breton Spellblade with the long hair.
Also, anyone remember how cool the paralyze spell looked in Oblivion?
Like, they'd go stiff but they have a little give, kind of like plastic dolls? And they always fell in the exact position you hit them.
