Oblivion

So I'm about to play Oblivion for the first time in 6 years
Are there any mods that are considered essential? Or anything that adds to the overall experience?

uninstall wizard

thanks nigger

Get the XP mod. It makes the shit leveling system more bearable.

Also get the beautiful people mods so you can make your sexy waifu.

From personal experience, you probably won't play it too long after getting the mods the work nicely. Some people like to use the XP mod or a complete overall mod like OOO to help alleviate the level scaling Oblivion does.

What the fuck?

install Nehrim and ignore the base game

bampu

Beautiful people is practically required for any Japanese mods you'll find. Learn how to use Wrye Bash and don't be pussy. The Character Overhaul 2 is also good if you don't want to use BP. I've always used Qarl's textures for improving environment textures. Darnifed UI is also good for not having an ass looking UI. I think it's Growlfe's skeleton you'll want as it serves as a universal skeleton resource at this point for a lot of mods. For combat I think Unnecessary Violence III is no longer supported, but still pretty solid. Always get the unofficial patches for the DLC and base game. Use the 4GB patch on the Oblivion.exe so it'll use more memory and also get the Streamline mod as it'll force the engine to dump its memory every so often so you won't get CTDs simply from playing the game.

Also save yourself the trouble and learn how to use TESedit4 for cleaning up lazy edits, it's really easy once you get the hang of it and it'll stop all the mesh errors and sporadic CTDs.

You won't play it for long. It's tedious and clunky like Morrowind, but with lore and worldbuilding worse than Skyrim. So, don't mod it much, it'll go to waste.

why?

There's a reason why people hate animu and weebs more and more with each passing day.

...

OP I recommend you play vanilla first. Modding games is best reserved for the second playthrough for a fresher experiance. Though community patches are fine for a first attempt through the game.


That's why he saged, so his post would not bump the thread as he did nothing to contribute to it. Learn how board etiquette works you fucking newfag.

Murder yourself while you're at it.

Or what? You gonna start posting me to death with more smug girl pics?

Worse. I'll spam you to death with better Elder Scrolls game faces. That also may or may not be anime related.

Well, at least you didn't say Skyrim was good.

some autist on /tes/ has a huge list of mods you should have, that I direct people to every time we have this thread.
It's a bit dated so just be careful.
>>>/tes/2137
also general reminder that /tes/ is a thing

It certainly beats Oblivion.

You'll get no argument from me.

in sex mods i guess. still kind of impossible to fap to

This is the OBJECTIVE TRUTH.
Anyone thinking Oblivion is better than anything else, ever, needs to be hanged by his toes upside down, have his dick and balls cut off and die slowly and painfully by bloodloss.

The post-Skyrim Oblivion hipster kneejerk historical revisionism across Holla Forums made me mad as fucking hell.

FUCK ANYONE DEFENDING OBLIVION.
THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE GOOD THING ABOUT OBLIVION IS THE DARK BROTHERHOOD QUESTLINE.

I never finished the first quest

TES is garbage

DAMAGE MULTIPLIERS
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, INSTALL THE DAMAGE MULTIPLIERS
This mod is essential to enjoying Oblivion in any way. This shit has less than 2000 downloads and it's probably one of my favorite gameplay mods for Oblivion.

...

the thieves guild was good too, though.

also shivering isles and knights of the nine (though not as good as morrowind's xpacs)

The Shimmering Isles made up for all of Oblivion's sins in my opinion.

It's shit, user. Shit.

The kill yourself mod is an essential.

No, it was silly as fuck.

Not at all, but it was really good.

Shivering* holy shit


You can easily get 30 hours out of that DLC. It might as well be a different game if you close your eyes and use console to get there.

oblivion is better than morrowind and skyrim

...

Use mods that remove limits on enchanting and custom spells.

Fun thing I did with this mod: Create a fortify restoration by 200 points for 2 seconds spell and cast it on self, allowing me to cast any other restoration spell I want for 2 seconds. Use those 2 seconds to cast a fortify destruction by 200 points for several minutes spell and cast it on self, and spam 1000 damage nukes for several minutes.

not an argument

Nobody's gonna argue with you on that one, mate.

The difference is that Oblivion's fixable while Skyrim isn't. Overhauled Oblivion has been vaguely enjoyable since long before Skyrim came out, while Skyrim is a consistently bland mush no matter what.

because it's right.

Oblivion has some really big problems, but they aren't actually all that hard to fix. Skyrim has a lot of small problems AND a couple of giant, glaring pitholes of design that, to this date, remain unfixed.
You can fix Oblivion without too much issue, but you've gotta turn Skyrim into an entirely new game unless you're a retard who just likes roaming around and randomly killing shit with no rhyme or reason behind your character.

Oblivion Scaling Unclusterfucked and Alternative Start Arrive by Ship are absolutely necessary.

...

...

I'll just take Morrowind, in particular together with OpenMW, fellow outlanders.

Try the essential, toss the game in the fucking trash mod, that's some good shit.

Nice.

You'll never get any good discussion about Oblivion or Skyrim here, Holla Forums is liberally sprinkled with shitposters and elitists who have a burning need to express their consensus-approved opinions. /tes/ has a thread up for Oblivion mods, if you're actually looking for recommendations.

Thanks, I actually came into this thread for decent mods.

at least it has color, pretty cozy too.

All the Guild quests are better in Oblivon too, with the possible exception of the College of Winterhold.

Do you mean the Mages Guild? The College of Winterhold is in Skyrim

Is it weird that I like the lore of the Elder Scrolls games but can't stomach playing anything beyond Morrowind ?

Loverslab.com.

Can't polish a turd and the porn is the only thing worth doing provided you have the autism to learn how to do shit. What it might lack in quality at some occasions it makes up in quantity tenfold.

Morroblivion is surprisingly well done.

Did you know Oblivion was the first game to use an algorithm for tree growth?

What are you talking about, Oblivion and Skyrim is talked about in Morrowind and Elder Scrolls threads, but most Anons are only really interested in the Lore which oblivion doesn't do much to break ground and Skyrim doesn't really add much either. The gameplay of Skyrim and Oblivion is nothing to write home about and Morrowind's better by virtue of the fact you can do all kinds of shit with magic. Finally I don't particularly care about what comes out for Skyrim nowadays thanks to the fact that the Modding community is right fucked from that whole Xbone integration and all the really cool Mods are generally found in oblivion while Skyrim is mostly just porn and the rare neat but underutilized gem.

Everyone else is waiting for OpenMW, so silently they lurk.

thats a funny way to spell Holla Forums

get the +5 per level mod so you don't need to micromanage leveling up.

Bump. Any porn fags for Oblivion in here? What mods are you using/playing?
