How good is Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion on the PC with...

[DragoFireheart]

...the over haul mods? How much of a difference do the mods make for the game? Do they make it more enjoyable.

You can make combat and lootan more enjoyable. If you want deep, tactical rpg experience, you're better off playing something else.

For me it works since I don't demand much depth from my hack'n'slashs.

Here's a dungeon mod

I assume you did a Search? This has been discussed ALOT.

I thought it was pretty good fun once I installed FCOM: Convergence Mod. It adds 3 or 4 mods that make gameplay changes and adds some more interesting dungeons.

IT's still not as good as Daggerfall or Morrowind but its playable with that MOD I think.

uninstall.exe is the best overhaul mod i think no yes?


maybe

The game is perfectly tailored for complete fucking dumbfucks like you DragoFireheart. Enjoy.

Stop being a cunt. I was merely curious about how much of an impact

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

It's pretty good with FCOM and "Deadly Reflex" to turn it into a first person action RPG choppathon.

 

[DragoFireheart]

So basically a first person Diablo 2 with a physics engine and a skill system? Doesn't sound too bad. I might try it out.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Not reeeeeeally D2. But there's certainly more difficulty in the fights, and more variety in the loot. Makes dungeon crawling more entertaining.

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

Then why not go for divinity 2?

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T BUY IT WHEN IT WAS ON SALE ON STEAM DURING THE WINTER SALE BECAUSE IT HAS SECUROM AND NOW THAT THE GAME SOUNDS FUN YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR A GAME WITH SECUROM ON IT SO YOU WAIT FOR IT TO GO ON SALE AGAIN SO YOU CAN JOIN ALL THE BROFUL ENTERTAINMENT AND TRY TO PASS THE TIME WITH MODDED OBLIVION EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T REALLY SATISFY YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE LIFE IS A SHAME AND YOU SHOULD REALLY JUST END IT NOW BUT YOU STILL HAVE DIVINITY 2 TO HANG ON TO, EVENTUALLY, DIVINITY 2 WILL SHOW UP AND MAKE THIS ALL WORTHWHILE BUT WHEN WILL IT GO ON SALE AGAIN AND WHEN IT DOES WILL YOU EVEN NOTICE OR WILL YOU BE IN TOO MUCH OF A STUPOR FROM YOUR HORRIBLE DAY TO DAY LIFE TO EVEN NOTICE AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU MISSED IT YOUR ONE RAY OF SUNSHINE IN THE BLEAK SHITFIELDS OF YOUR LIFE OH MY FUCKING GOD WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BRING THIS UP I FEEL FUCKING AWFUL NOW

But there's certainly more difficulty in the fights,

Only if you're a lobotomy patient. Oblivion is harder than vanilla morrowind, but that's not saying much. D2 is heavily dependent on gear at its hardest moments, gear that most people can't get. In Oblivion OTOH getting items powerful enough to plow through anything is pretty trivial.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Multi-headed is talking about Oblivion + FCOM.

And Vanilla Oblivion above level 16 is brutal, albeit for the wrong reasons - Drog was right...I was playing VanillaOb (on normal difficulty) the other day on my brother's xbox and my level 19 Orc warrior (Heavy Armor is like 75, could be 80) gets his ebony armor suit totaled every time I get into a dungeon.

Of course, I'm not doing that efficient leveling autistic shit and I'm avoiding going after the cheesey rewards like Azura's Star and Spellbreaker, nor am I making Drain Health 300 for 1 sec spells, so I imagine it could be easier if I wanted to.

+ Deadly Reflex (Can't remember if that's included in FCOM by default, I know I had it in my FCOM game though). First bandits I attacked out of the tutorial sewer knocked me over and then did a coup de grace on my head with a warhammer. On the bright side, I was occasionally able to pull off some sneak attack bullshit that would behead an enemy instantly.

With the right mods Oblivion can be an extremely good and very immersive game.
Unfiortunately, if you want the game to run smoothly with lots of mods, you'll spend more time preparing, tweaking, discussing and upgrading the mods than actually playing the game. But then, some people enjoy tinkering with their cars more than actually driving them.

Anyway, I got about 750 hours out of my 400 mods game and it was definitely one of my most enjoyable gaming experiences since I started playing CRPGs in the early 80s. And even after 750 hours my character was only lvl 21, had not started the Main Quest and was two or three ranks away from being leader of the Thieves and Mages Guild.

I recommend basing modded Oblivion on Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, since it fixes and balances so many things, and also adds lots of new items, several quests and dungeons and adds lots and lots of little touches to vanilla areas to make the game more immersive.

Neither am I. I just install this mod:

Also, melee/archery in oblivion gets shittier and shittier after level 25 or so. Magic's where it's at.

lolno.

But it can be made marginally enjoyable and almost not painful at all if you keep your expectations reasonably low and pour several gigs of carefully selected mods into it.

It's the best real-tme-3d roguelike-alike.

Of course you could just play a real roguelike without the 3d tits.

How about, you know, Daggerfall if you need to stay within the series?

The only reason you'll ever want Oblivion installed on your PC is because it is a requirement to play

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

After I learned you could bludgeon the controls in Daggerfall into something resembling modern TES I'm thinking about giving it a whirl. Any protips for a Daggerfall virgin? Any romances? Any first person prostitution animation mods so I can see argonians going down on me?

If I do go for it, gonna be using http://theelderscrolls.wiwiland.net/?ti ... llSetup_EN which I got the link from the Codex.

Unfortunately it still uses the shitty Oblivion engine. Much like how NV fails at greatness because it is trapped in the Fallout 3 engine.
