Good afternoon, citizen. It's time for you to reinstall Oblivion and return to Cyrodiil. The Empire could use your services once again.
ive done it 3 times, every time i drop it after i get away from kvatch oblivion because its shit
Have you heard of the high elves?
>>345455974
this
It's boring, everything feels so fake and liveless.
Level scaling is bullshit which makes any sense of progression pointless
Story is you being an errand boy to some highborn cunt
There's no character, it's just boring
But Oblivion is hot garbage.
Shivering Isles is okay but the main game is total shit without massive modding.
>>345456131
You should try out Enderal
>>345456131
I'd rather have the main character being an errand boy than the CHOSEN ONE WHO MUST DEFEAT THE ANCIENT EVIL THAT HAS AWAKENED
Is Nehrim any good? I've been meaning to try it for years
>>345456263
This is why Morrowind remains my favorite. In Oblivion you're a stooge, in Skyrim you're the cliche hero, in Morrowind you're...both? Neither? Kind of open to interpretation.
>>345456316
it's good but I'd honestly recommend Enderal more.
>>345456131
Try Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. It gets rid of the level scaling and adds difficulty to dungeons depending on how close you are to civilisation (the further away, the more difficult). There's also a creature and equipment add on for it that adds more monsters/bosses and thousands of new weapons and armor sets.
There are dozens of mods to make Oblivion better.
>>345456316
I can't get past the fact that all the voices are in hitlerspeak.
I understand that its possible to have fun with games like oblivion, but the leveling system in oblivion is probably the single worst character progression system ever included in a game that anyone is aware of
worse than ff2j, where you have to attack your own guys to get enough health to survive dungeons, and can reduce your own stats if you do the wrong thing
Fuck off Todd, give me a remaaster of Oblivion instead of Shitrim and maybe I'll consider it
>>345456426
I'm not sure if it was OOO, but once I installed an overhaul mod the game became a lot harder than before, and a lot more enjoyable as a result. you couldn't just wander off to the wilderness or enter any fort at level 2 and expect to survive anymore.
>>345456463
"Hitlerspeak"
German is the language of the most well known and renowned poets and authors. Let me guess, you are from Clapistan?
>>345456474
honestly just try Enderal. It has a classical rpg leveling system with exp and skill-points and a setting fairly similar to Oblivion if you like forests etc.
>>345456564

>game goes to shit and i realize it's because of obse not working
>look it up, apparently obse doesn't work on pirated copies
>even though it worked on my last pirated copy
this has effectively put me away from modding oblivion again
>>345456701
Im definitely going to try all those popular story mods, provided that it has english subs, does it?
>>345456548
I'm using OOO too, it's hella fun with the realistic needs + better dungeons. I ended up being chased by a fucking tiger while trying to steal food and drink for my character. Unfortunately, it was some expensive wine and my character couldnt run straight.
Nothing more sadder than almost being free of a cave, only for your character to pass out drunk and get eaten by a tiger
>>345456564
no, I am not. And I have learned some German in school, which makes things even worse as I sort-of barely understand one foregin language while reading anohter foreign language (English). Makes for a bizzare experience, not something to get immersed in.
And no, playing full in German is not an option.
>>345456886
Enderal is not a story mod. It's a total conversion of Skyrim which makes it a separate game. It only shares some of the assets and the underlying scripting.
>>345455901
I have done everything there is to do in that game. I wish I had more to do in it because it's probably the best overall Bethesda game, but alas
>Install mods
>Leave Anvil
>Crash
>>345456947
well then be happy that Nehrim's sequel has a full English VO with English subtitles that comes out in one or two weeks.
>>345456963
no one gives a fuck about the details princess, we either already know, or dont care
does it have english subs
>>345457116
Enderal has yet to be translated in any way since it only very recently came out. There should be an English version out some time this month.
>>345457116
English version comes out at the end of the month. German version was released this month already and from what I've heard it's very good.

You're on the list, just very far away.

>>345457316
Enderal has better voice acting, better level design and a better story than Skyrim by a fucking mile.
Some examples of the general locations, outside, interior etc. I honestly wouldn't know it was actually just a fan-project by amateurs if I hadn't known about it beforehand.

Why would I want to reinstall THAT piece of hot garbage when the Skyrim rerelease is right around the corner? Hope you all preordered your copies, because I sure did!
>>345457649
I sold my copy of Skyrim to get some PS2 games years ago Todd.
>>345457524
Will I need to play Nehrim to understand things in this game?
>>345457649
Or you could just pirate it.
>>345457775
no, but if you don't speak German you'll have to wait until the English release at the end of the month, currently only German version is out.
>>345457649
You can just download texture packs and game enhancing mods for FREE.
>>345457849
I may as well play Nehrim then since it'll give me something to play before Endaral's english version is released.
>>345457724
Y-you did WHAT? You might wanna apologize, kiddo. I'm starting to get angry.
>>345457524
wait what the fuck. I expected that you were exaggerating and saying that it has good level design etc considering that it's a mod but I can't come up with any location in Skyrim right now that looks that detailed.
>>345457724
>>345457823
>>345457886
BUUUUY IIIIIT
JUST BUY IT ALREADY
>>345457997
I actually bought 3 PS3 copies of Skyrim for me and my friends but when we noticed that the game sucked we returned them and got Fallout New Vegas instead. Was well worth it mate.
>>345457997
>>345458073
Yeah, it was good. Because Skyrim was more popular back then I got a good deal so I was able to walk away with several games. Still got them too, had way more fun with them than Skyrim.
Sorry Todd. Well not really but you know.
>>345457524
I just noticed that the soundtrack in those webms is pretty good. Did they steal it from other games or what?
>>345457997
>>345458073

My usual playthroughs are being a Bosmer, having high blade+marksman and some other shit I don't remember and playing through the Dark Brotherhood and maybee getting the Gray Fox helmet if I feel like it. Then I kill people and get bored after that.
Any good mods to continue how I would play? I didn't like Shivering Isles all that much. (I don't remember playing it really and I think I didn't even finish it)
>>345455901
I just uninstalled it today, after letting it sit around on my hard drive for a whole year.
>>345458425
Todd. I have a confession.I sold FO3 too.
>>345458425
this is cringeworthy. why would todd care that someone sold their copy of skyrim? I mean, he already got his money and now he could sell the skyrim rehash I mean remaster
But I don't have 10 hours to waste just for it to crash to instability again.
>>345458425
Don't worry Todd, I like your games! I even got Fallout 4!By pirating it of course
Enderal > Morrowind > Nehrim > Oblivion > Skyrim > Daggerfall

It means that he lost another potential customer that instead bought the game used.

Oblivion Character Overhaul
Qarl's Texture Pack
Realistic Needs
Natural Environments
Alluring Potions
Darnified UI + Elven Map Redux
OOO is pivotal if you want to get rid of the level scaling, and want to have your skills increase slower. It also adds factions aside from the vanilla bandits; you'll now have Skyrim marauders, dark elf slavers, argonian smugglers and half-naked Amazonian warriors. Better Dungeons gives them a makeover so they're not entirely samey.
Nexus Mods will have what you need, I'm sure you'll find something that'll get your criminal scum juice pumping

>bound to 1 cpu core

I have a high end pc and it still chugs whenever I get enough mods to make it decent.
>>345456316
"The only thing enlightening about religion is the sight of a church burning in the night."
Possibly the best exploration of anti-theism I've ever seen in a fantasy context. Nehrim is well worth your time, holy shit just download it and play it if you haven't yet. It's absolutely fantastically made and is probably the best mod I've ever played for anything. It's certainly one of my favourites.
>>345457524
Wow. That third one was legitimately impressive. I cant even deny.
>>345459084
that's what you get for having an underpowered AMD CPU with shit IPC
Oblivion is a travesty of game design. Every single game mechanic is fundamentally broken in some way. Consider just level scaling alone: it means your character grows proportionally weaker as you gain levels. It fills the world with daedric armor-wearing bandits and 1000-HP mudcrabs. It makes all unique items gained from quests useless, as they also scale to your level at the moment you completed the quest. Just this one single mechanic irreversibly fucks up your character, the gameworld and the itemization.
Add to this dumbed down mechanics(AKA muh spears), Disneyworld game design, terrible console-first menu and inventory design, terrible quest design, terrible guilds(they're all just linear series of quests which can all be completed simultaneously, without any interplay between them, as in Morrowind), terrible stealth which makes you invisible to everyone simply by crouching in front of them, terrible dialogs, terrible character models, terrible lockpicking& persuasion minigames, terrible writing...
Pretty much one of the worst game of all time.
Also, let's dispel this notion that Oblivion quests are good. They are not good. 95% of them consist of running around in circles and hitting things with your sword. There would maybe be some exotic, terribly written reason for you to run in circles and hit things with your sword, which is apparently enough for neo-/v/ to proclaim these the best quests ever.
In fact, the only reason that the mediocre DB questline is so highly regarded is that it breaks the monotony of running in circles and hitting things with your sword. There's still no branching, no meaningful consequences, not a single skill or stat check in the entire questline- these are not good quests.
The only people who would find Oblivion better than Morrowind are the <20y.o. XBox kiddies who played Oblivion before they would know any better. It is the ultimate nostalgia-goggles game. And I'm not even particularly fond of Morrowind.
>>345458889
>Natural Environments
It's 2016. This mod was outdated in 2008.
>>345458523
>>345458889
>Mods
None for me. I never got into the modding community.
>Playstyle
I usually go High Elf + Atronoch build for an absolutely retarded mana pool for spamming all kinds of different magic while fighting against magic casters like Flame/Frost atronoches and what not to get all my mana back. Utilizing the 50% magic weakness from High Elf to restore more mana by absorbing it. Bonus points for finding a ring if spell absorption, and an Oblivion stone of Spell absorption, all stacking to like 85%. It's quite silly.
>>345459319
Is there a better alternative?
>>345459598
all natural which leads you into other good mods like immersive interiors.
>>345459287
Hope you rot, criminal scum.
Are the porn mods actually better than Skyrim's?
>>345459186
what's kind of interesting just to put things into perspective is that this isn't a standalone city, it's a district that is part of a larger city. Everything you see down there is one fifth of the actual city. It's basically just the lower class district. There is also a working class, upper class, scholar district, foreigner district, farm housing outside the city and a harbor. And then there is a restricted upper area of the city that can only be entered by the Holy Order. Also an area for a graveyard and a pretty big market with several shops and booths.
This webm for example shows a part of the working class district at night

>>345463250
End of this month. There will also be a release with English subtitles but German VO if you are into that kind of stuff
>>345457524
Well, those WebMs convinced me to give Nehrim another try and play it until Enderal gets its English release. Thanks, anon.
>>345463716
Do Nehrim and Enderal require the base game?
>>345455901
I can't get into it. Somebody tell me the best graphics mods and whether there's any mods to make the combat less ass and maybe I'll try it again.
>>345463798
yeah. Which kind of sucks since both of them don't have anything to do with the base-game at all, they even have separate launchers and mod-loading lists and settings.
>>345463992
damn. I was downloading Nehrim to try it out but I really don't wanna bother with torrenting Oblivion, especially because everything out there is "REPACKS" which are shady as fuck.
>>345457524
It's kind of endearing how you can actually see how much care they put into the little details here and there. Like they actually cared.
>>345464097
I'd recommend you to just wait till the English release of Enderal and see if other people who played it in English like it. If they think it's good and you haven't purchased Skyrim yet I'd honestly consider it just for Enderal.
I personally think it fixes a whole bunch of issues both Skyrim and Oblivion had. Apart from the whole world design the skill-tree reworks and the removal of level scaling as well as fully hand-placed loot makes exploration actually rewarding.
>>345464419
Thing is Enderal in English is probably gonna come out at the end of August or September, and that's when my semester starts again.

Reminds me a lot of the Oblivion interiors, when buildings weren't single-story cookie-cutter houses or longer rectangular houses.
Alright faggots, I'm downloading as i type this.
Haven't played this game for fuck long so. What mods would you recommend?
>>345468070
this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this
they put minimal effort with maximum gains every single time and every single time it works.
and before you go hurr durr REMINDER that fo4 sold more than fo3 despite all the vocal hipsters who actually, UNIRONICALLY thought fo3 was a ground breaking rpg and that fo4 wasn't tailored exactly to their shitty taste
started playing through it again, and i have one huge complaint.
WHY CANT ALL OF OBLIVION BE LIKE SHIVERING ISLES!?
seriously, the whole game is just shit compared to shivering isles.
>>345460157
2 hrs late but
>not recognizing that cookie-cutter oblivion beggar line
You belong in the garbage.
>>345467626
all of them
but really the lightest mod you can find that fixes level scaling, a lot of people prefer those super content mods like MMM instead but I cant really get into them however that's your choice. I'd also get a fix for the potato faces and better cities/nature mods. RAEVWD combined with some uGrid tweaking to fix that horrible LOD/draw distance but IIRC uGrids could fuck shit up in oblivion so better google in advance. Just stroll through the nexus for more stuff
Goes without saying you should get the unofficial patches and some stability mod, and make sure to read the guides/faqs for all the mod tools you'll be needing and backup your install before you start. Also IIRC the deluxe edition wont create necessary scripts on windows7+ so you will need to pirate the vanilla RELOADED release and have that installed as well so the launcher works properly and you don't end up with some obscure issue because of it
>>345469850
they had 2 interns in for shivering isles :^)
>>345469382
Aside from the millions of body mods and armor mods floating around?
CTD and Memory patch ENBoost: My computer can run Skyrim at 60+ FPS consistently in all areas, but Oblivion would struggle to reach 27 FPS in crowded areas. I can't speak for others, but installing this mod allowed Oblivion to run at 60+ FPS on my computer in crowded areas. It won't fix crashes due to mod conflicts, but it may make Oblivion to run much more smoothly on more recent computer systems.
Oblivion XP: It abolishes the counter-intuitive default leveling system and implements an experience system that rewards you for killing enemies, exploring, reading books, gathering nirnroot, accumulating fame/infamy, pickpocketing, etc. You'll still get a lot of your experience from killing stuff, but there's a lot of incentive to do other shit, too. I spent like 2 hours reading all the books in that one bookstore in the Imperial City. It's safe to say I probably wouldn't have gained any appreciation for the various short-stories contained in the books without Oblivion XP.
There's also the enchant splitter/merger, which can allow you to create items with multiple enchants on them.
There's some monster overhaul mods that can make the game more enjoyable as well. OOO was recommended earlier.
Meteoric Iron Ayleid weapons look gorgeous as fuck.
Deadly Reflex is a mod that introduces some combat elements and killmoves (i.e. decapitations, impaling knocked down enemies, etc.). It's not a mandatory combat mod by any means, but it can be fun if you're into that sort of thing.
If you want to unleash your inner monk, get mods that enhance H2H damage and enable elemental effects on H2H. The most fun I ever had in any TES game was when I made an elemental wizard/monk character who could punch the hell out of enemies in close range with fire punches and then barf fireballs at range.
>>345470847
>unleash your inner monk
HELL FUCKING YES
NOW I KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO PLAY
THANKS ANONwhat mods would you also recommend so females will look better, not as in sluts but less of an eyesore
>>345457524
Thanks for the post anon i'll check it out
>>345459776
>Porn mods
>Good
>>345471164
Honestly, the best way to make a good-looking female character is to use custom races and savegames for those custom races. Making faces that look good takes a lot of time, and Oblivion's potato generator of a character creator can make it extremely challenging. I wasn't up to the task, so I just looked around the savegame section of the nexus and picked a face that looked good to me.
Here's some other more specialized mods to get you started on being a monkee:
Better Hand to Hand: Lightweight mod. Increases H2H blocking/attacking values so that it isn't shit.
Fists of Fury: adds a vendor that sells spells to add elemental effects to H2H damage.
There was also Elemental Fist, which allowed the various elemental shield spells to add 10% of the spell's armor/resistance value to your H2H damage. It's hidden on the nexus, however. I think I still have it on my HD, so I'll see if I can dig that up for other potential monk aspirants to enjoy.
>>345471164
>>345472117
Also: read the Readme files carefully for mod requirements and installation instructions.
If you're familiar with Skyrim modding, then you should know to install OBSE and how to use it. There's also some other dependent plugins/mod frameworks that the more complex mods employ, so be careful about that.
>>345472117
Alright, uploaded Elemental Fist:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ss4ax7fz57icm2j/Elemental_Fist-36374-2-7.zip
I hope you guys enjoy punching stuff with fire and ice as much as I did. It's a shame they didn't make H2H a dedicated thing in Skyrim.
>>345456426
>(the further away, the more difficult)
I dunno about that, there's a cave real close to the Imperial City which is full of Amazons that will fuck your shit up unless you're high level and got good gear/magic.

That sounds awfully like it was added in for a mod.

>>345460126
What about OOO and the Creature/Item/SI add-ons? Been trying that and it's basically a more stable FCOM as far as the new items and monsters it adds.

Funny how it's more powerful than Skyrim's.

Can MOO be used with OOO?
I'm using OOO and its weapon/creature add on. Do they conflict with each other at all?

Not only it's one of the most badly designed RPG to ever hit the market, it's also one of ugliest games in existence. Both art direction and technology-wise. Bethesda tried their hardest to top it with Fallout 4, but no way someone on this planet manages to create something that is able to beat this monstrosity. Daily reminder that Oblivion came out ONE FUCKING YEAR before Crysis.
>>345475597
No issues whatosever. MOO was made with OOO in mind.

Such is life in glorious Cyrodiil.
If there's one thing that I learned from playing Oblivion, it's how to troubleshoot stuff.
>>345475980
Which needs to be loaded first?
>>345476121
>I don't understand what art direction is
ok
>>345476515
Probably last.
I have a bashed patch and MOO says to have it loaded after the bash.
So probably after OOO if you don't use WryeBash.
>>345457524
In those webms, is the game modded in any other way other than what Enderal comes with, or does it just naturally look like that?
I saw a mudcrab the other day
>start up oblivion for the very first time some years ago
>well time to do the main quest
And then my brain intervenes
>but man, listen up
>what if...hear me out...we don't do the main quest?
And I had a fucking blast with the game. The dungeons are shallow and combat scaling is dumb, but it was still a fun game and I'd sure as hell play it again
...and then I started the main quest. Pic related
>>345477437
Filthy creatures. Meat's not bad, though.
>>345477549

>>345477549
The MQ is probably one of the weaker quest series in the game.
The Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines were fantastic. I especially liked the part in the Thieves' Guild questlines where you actually had to rob people. But all of it culminates in a heist to steal an Elder Scroll from the Imperial Palace itself to restore someone to the normal flow of history (and fix some other stuff).
The Fighters' Guild and Mages' Guild quests weren't anything special, but they were pretty good too. It helped that each local guildhall in each city felt really distinct from each other.

I wonder if people have actually released any presets for OblivionReloaded like millions do for ENB.

that's pretty good, what did you do for draw distance/lod?

Ran this http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/40549/? and dumped the generated meshes into Oblivion (generates the actual landscape of the entire world).
Plus RAEVWD for distant buildings and other structures (not sure if the tower in the distance was a part of that). RAEVWD is the most intensive graphics mod of the game, so be weary if you have a pre-2014 CPU or something.
>>345479930
the Morrowind guy did a fantastic job with the shaders
>>345457524
Music sounds reall Soule-ish. Did they rip it off another one of his OSTs?
>>345480202
Im taking note.
>>345480202
Thanks.
Also I tried RAEVWD before and it dropped to mid 30s on a 4690k, fucking bethesda not making this work at least on dual cores
>>345480516
Probably might help if you overclocked.
I generally had at minimum 50 fps with an i7 4790k oc'd to 4.8 Ghz
but RAEVWD isn't that crucial anyways, or at least a good chunk of the options
I was happy with just being able to spot the Ayleid ruins and Imperial towers from a distance, for a time.

Something that is completely subjective except when you get pretentious goobers acting like they possess some special universal insight or expertise?
>>345480709
It didn't bother me that much just thought it was funny that an old game would do that, but yeah it was full feature option and some of the stuff on there is probably useless but I was too tired of modding so I just left it as is. Mod itself is great for reason you mentioned though, just spotting stuff from the other side of the map is mega comfy and its great for exploration
>>345480779
nice
>>345480779
shots without TES4LL trigger me so hard
How long has this mod been in development for Skyrim?
Was going to say it would be unfair to compare if the lengths weren't similar but I'm pretty sure these guys are competent enough to cut corners in the right places unlike the fucking janky mess of the Civil War in Skyman.
Let's get this thread ROLLING
Replying with what I'm playing now.
>>345480908
Super comfy.
This mod is canon
>>345480172
"You're off duty now"

>>345481247
Currently rolling:
>Imperial
>Knight
>Lives in Skingrad (best city)
>Lawful Neutral
>Worships Talos
>HATES Deadra and Orsimer/Goblins, but has sympathy for Jyggalag
>Defender Rank in Fighter's Guild
>Seeks to secure the safety of Skingrad during the crisis whilst ridding the land of Goblin filth
>Has a gambling problem and often travels to Arena to throw away money
>>345481304
I have yet to encounter any mod in Skyrim that approaches the levels of comfy that I got in Oblivion.
Even in outlandish house mods like floating Ayleid city homes, it was comfier than the comfiest couch at the comfy chair store.
>Want a mod that adds some new enemies (even reskins of existing enemies, just some variety)

Let's do this
>>345456807
Complete bs. I just installed the latest version of OBSE and installed a bunch of mods dependent on it and it worked fucking fine. Pirated Oblivion and all the DLC as well. You probably just fucked something up.
What are the downsides to Morroblivion other than "muh native experience". I've played the fuck out of Morrowind but I've never tried this mod.
>>345481985
>985
Custom Class / The Ritual / Imperial
>924
Home city of ANVIL \ Any Other Minor Faction \ Chaotic Neutral (worship any)
I think I know where this is going.
>>345482642
It's the same shitty engine.
Just wait for OpenMW.
is oblivion worth picking up for steam workshop or is pirated version with mods off nexus good enough?
>>345481247
gogogo
>>345482951
pirated worked fine for me
I bought the DVDs like a cuck and then found out you still need 'em to play and I wasn't gonna make a god damned image of the discs so I had to listen to the DVD drive constantly spinning so fuck that shit.
pirate
reminder
>>345482990
>Altmer
Fucking dropped.
>>345482951
I wasn't even aware there was a Steam Workshop for Oblivion.
But I got Oblivion installed from a physical disk, non-Steam version. It seems to work just fine for me, and the Nexus is probably *the* definitive place for TES mods.
Not gonna lie, it's a hassle to insert the DVDs into the slot every time I fire up Oblivion. But on the bright side, I don't have to worry about the occasional issues that might arise from Steam launchers and stuff.
>>345482951
Just pirate it, no need to buy it ever. The entire game is only 1.5GB from stock anyway with DLC.
>>345482908
Anything fundamentally broken or buggy in this compared to just doing another run of Morrowind?
>>345455901
I want to play this game but i heard the enemy level scaling is complete shit with bandits wearing daedric armos, what's the best mod to fix it?
>>345483215
Plebian Pelin-el tastes.
>>345483363
None of the bitching Morrowind mods work on it.
>>345483513
But now you can install Oblivion mods! :DD
>>345483718
which wont work, because it fundamentally changes the locations.
>you will never be the Hero of Kvatch
>>345483968
just for the locations-based mods
post ur waifu
Just a reminder that there is speculation that Argonians can change gender.
>>345481247
rolllolll
>>345485143
This would give support for the futa Argonian/female breton ERP I did.
Modding it to not look like potato soup takes too much effort.
Can't be bothered.
Plus, endgame fucking sucks. Fighting level 30 Goblin Kings that take a gorrillion sword hits to kill is never fun.
>>345485357
When I heard about it I did a feminine peainus Argonian playthrough.
>>345457524
Can't wait.
>>345457524
I'm looking forward to this.
Not looking forward to having to reinstall a clean Skyrim though. I have 200 mods installed. Reinstalling them takes so long. Cleaning them and getting my game to not crash after 15 minutes takes just as long.
>>345486524
just make a new profile in MO dummy
>>345486640I use NMM because I find MO a bit too complex for something so simple.
>>345486883
If you really wanted to brute-force it, you could copy your entire Skyrim folder and put it elsewhere while you get your fill of Enderal.
Anyone here played Nehrim?
The framerate issues are really getting to me. I mean, Oblivion STILL doesn't run all that great, and these guys make incredibly lush and detailed maps. The engine just can't handle it, right?
There are no remedies?
>>345487284
That's true. Could just move my current folder and reinstall the game.
I can't stop cheesing the game everytime I reinstall it. The magic system is so fucking easy to break.
>Weakness to Magic 100% for 5 secs on touch
>Drain Health 100pts for 1 sec on touch
>Name the spell "Touch of Death"
proceed to two shot everything in the game maybe even 3 shot it if it's really tough because the magic weakness effect just compounds on itself every time you use it.
>>345487748
lower draw distance in the ini?
>>345487807
>Touch of Death
>not Avada Kedavra
>>345487807
Shit like this is what made older TES so damn great though.
I truly fear how basic and utterly shallow TESVI is gonna be. It's the worst feeling ever watch your favorite franchise devolve into toddler-tier potato-brained bullshit.
>>345455901
I'd love to honestly but all I want is a mod that removes level scaling and makes the dungeons more diverse, that's it. Sadly all the overhauls add 10billion pounds of diarrhea and everything else requires four mod managers and 10 scripts running on your machine.
>>345488139
Blame it on the casual audience and Bethesda selling out for that sweet sweet console money.
>>345487807
is a battlemage build with heavy armor/blade and destruction + some other stuff viable in oblivion or is there some penalty for wearing heavy armor?
>>345488330
There is a spell effectiveness penalty that I think you can get to "95% spell effectiveness" if you have 75 armor skill. It does exactly what you think it does and your spells will only be 95% as damaging as if you wore no armor.
I played with some mods and can't remember if they affected this rating or not so don't quote me on it.
Short answer is yes, it can be effective and fun to play as that but not optimal since you could just as easily craft a shield spell to give you max armor with alteration and if you are using the touch of death cheeseball spell, the only thing you have to watch our for is getting spell reflected which a Dispel on touch spell from mysticism will fix.
Basically, what I found was that any class can be loads of fun but the most optimal for me was a sorcerer with Mysticism for dispels, Destruction for draining, conjuration for summoning distractions (i like skeletons), and alteration for opening doors and armoring myself. Never needed my other skills really.
>>345488330
You'll get a "spell efficiency" penalty for wearing armor, but the magic system can be exploited so easily that it's only a factor in the very early game.
>>345488293
Morrowind was made for Xbox too. Though consoles do have a negative effect on how the game can work due to the PC version being a console port, the simplistic quest design, story, and other stuff can probably be blamed on the developers. Oblivion had a lot more flavorful and involved quests than most of Skyrim and FO4; you could say that console gamers are dumb and don't want any type of subtlety, but I'd say it's more likely that the designers are lazy.
Though I will admit that it seems like console players will settle for something shiny rather than something with depth.
>>345487807
This should spell out the fact that magic-wielders are a million times more powerful than warrior and rogue-archetypes in the setting.
As is it should be.
>>345488139
It's happened to me too many times.
>Silent Hill
>Resident Evil
>TES
>Fallout
>Hitman
>God of War
>Fable

Being so passionate about videogames is suffering. I wish I could be as blase about it as normies and casuals are.

>>345456337
You're pretty much just Vivec's errand boy when it comes down to it, Nerevarine or no.
>>345489051
Nah, just that there's not a whole lot of support for the highest brands of warrior/rogue archetypes in the setting. Can't exactly code in a continent-shattering nuclear explosion due to a sword slash, or retconning history because of shouting.
Although, wouldn't resist magic 100%+ or reflect magic 100%+ gimp the example spell used in >>345487807 ?
>>345489308
>a sword slash, or retconning history because of shouting.
both can be considered magic, and both are far, far more rare to not be considered a part of any clss archetype desu
>>345489308
>Reflect Magic 100%
yes, this is the one weakness I did encounter after I killed myself once while fighting scamps. I just made a dispel 100pts on touch spell and quick keyed it to counter that defense. I can't remember running into that reflect as a passive ability on any enemies so the dispel worked perfectly.
The spell pierces through any "resist" effects though it might take an extra cast to kill the creature than it otherwise would.
>>345456510

Oblivion is shit.
>>345489132
Personally, I kinda wish that they'd bring back attributes and fame/infamy in the next TES game.
I wouldn't even care if they have less than 5% effect on the actual skills that they govern. It was just kinda nice being able to establish that my character was really strong, really agile, or had supernatural willpower. The fame/infamy thing was also kinda nice for fluff. Aside from the usual Hero of Kvatch stuff, I liked that Imperial Watchman & Guards would greet and recognize my character as an exceptional law-abiding citizen who actively went around making the lands safer.
Also I want Hand to Hand as a valid skill tree. If I can punch Deathclaws and people with Power Armor to death with my bare hands in FO4 with perks and shit, I can't see why I can't punch bandits and dragons to death in the TES series with the same support.
>>345489926
I just want depth in the game again. Skyrim had no depth to anything.
Diseases affected a basic fucking negative to your stamina and HP count. That's it. No degradation to abilities, no slower walk / run speed, faster decrease in stamina, or anything. No affects to other stats, no effect to how people reacted to you, nothing.
Everything was basic as fuck. It was boring.
>>345490136
>tfw you can't cough on someone and spread a disease
>>345460126

>>345489205
At least you have the option to kill Vivec.
>>345490136
>no effect to how people reacted to you, nothing.
It's not much, but NPCs did comment that you looked a little flushed/sick. It's still shit though.
>didn't even notice I got Rockbite from a Skeever until I killed Alduin
>>345489926
I hope shit like Witcher, Bannerlord and Kingdom come: Deliverance scares Todd a bit so he doesnt just rely on the brand name to sell like in FO4.
>>345490864
Todd doesn't play any other games so he'll never know.I hope the game set in the Witcher universe after whatever sci-fi game they're working on now supports some crazy modding alongside a presumably customizable character considering Geralt's story is done to really scare Todd.
>>345490136
>smithing and general crafting finally added to the game
>remove durability - a feature that would further reinforce the smithing skill
Bethesda is retarded.
