Baldur's Gate 2 - Modded Beyond Belief

[Turisas]

Why has the Barbarian's BG2 modding thread become an Oblivion modding thread?

Sons, Conan is disappoint.

Surely the barbarian can appreciate Sexlivion.

The Barbarian is ready to explore this fascinating mod. Most ready. His favored left hand especially so.

The strange part is, you get satisfied after successfully installing 100+ mods and be assured it's stable. So satisfied that you just see that the game itself can never bring a greater satisfaction.

Indeed, Bethesda should just avoid including an overarching storyline in the next TES; most gamers spend more time finding and testing mods than they do playing the mediocre official content. The main storyline and thirty minute long prologue dungeons just get in the god damn way when all you want to do is test out a mod that makes killing mudcrabs more interesting.

TES5: Modgasm?

Aaah, oblivion.

Funny everybody hates the game... but installing mods and check for stability is a game itself. Fun and addictive.

Works like this:

shit game, how can I improve? oh, some mods... install, bug. Go to forums, check compatibility... mod solution? management softwares, other mods... and so on.

finally, lets play... after playing for 10 mionutes, you realize you are playing the game not to progress the storyline, but to see the mod at work. Takes a long time, you get bored.

Exit the game, go look for other mods. In fact, more graphical improvements, so you can just see the mod at work imediately.

Get bored again. Give up playing, but do not uninstall the game after having the work of installing 70+ mods and reaching stabillity. 1 year pass. You decide to give it a try. You hear new mods are avaiable.

You have now a dilemma: are the new mods worth uninstalling the game and reinstalling everything again? Or should you just maintain old mods and install more? will your save game of 10 minutes of gameplay still work? So you restart the cicle.

The strange part is, you get satisfied after successfully installing 100+ mods and be assured it's stable. So satisfied that you just see that the game itself can never bring a greater satisfaction.

Morrowind had the same situation.

You... are very odd people.

Just use this. Your character arrives by ship, you fill out census forms (which takes the place of the dungeon's drawn out character creation), and you go on your way. Depending on how you filled them out, your inventory, gold count and abilities are different. Takes about a minute or so.


They play off the events in the sewers as something you dreamed, but you have the option to go to the exit where the amulet has floated if you ever decide to start the main quest.



Makes testing mods easier.

Ah so you play vanilla Oblivion?

Well played.

You... are very odd people.

I dunno, maybe it's the simple feeling of tinkering with something and seeing the results. A game in itself, indeed

 

[Lesifoere]

I kind of understand that, but the thing with tinkering is, the end result should still be something functional or at least enjoyable in and of itself. This doesn't appear to be the case; you guys don't seem to even find the game, even extremely modded, any fun.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

You forget that, as codexers, there is a 90% chance of apsergers playing a role

logic need not apply, only challenge

Modded Oblivion can be fun for a while; I've had some good times playing rogue and assassin characters with TIE.
