Holy shit, I just realized that the greatest TES game ever was released a little over 10 years ago.
The last time I played it was in 2008, yet I remember every single thing so vividly, how is this even possible? Guess only truly amazing games can have this kind of effect on people.
Any of you tried re-playing the game recently (or playing it for the first time)? What's it like? Is it still good or is it unplayable garbage?
It's pretty damn hard to play, even with mods.
Back when Bethesda's NPC interaction just seemed retarded instead of horribly broken and fake
Fuck voiced protagonists, "radiant" dialogue (or whatever they call it), and the dialogue wheel. The old system works and is so much better aesthetically & technically
>tfw I don't remember anyone from Morrowind or Skyrim
>tfw I remember the whole Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion
>tfw every playthrough I get so attached to them I feel fucking bad for having to kill them
Why does Oblivion feel like the only TES game where you're an actual character with some personality living, doing interesting stuff with actual impact on you and teaming up with other actual characters? Morrowind and Skyrim feel so... impersonal.
;_;
What mods should I have if I want to play Oblivion for the first time?
Sup Forums keeps telling me it's better than Skyrim, so I might give it a try after all. It only took me ten years though, lol.
In Skyrim you were constantly reminded how goddamn special and powerful you are. In Oblivion, you're a common chump who gets wrapped up in the story of the chosen one. One is lazy writing, the other isn't.
Just don't level. That's all you need to do to keep the game fun.
I preferred Skyrim personally, but some of the quest lines in Oblivion are way more memorable.
It's time to move on to Skyrim 2 already.
Goddam what a bunch of turbonerd loser virgin faggots.
Is this some Skyrim conversion or something?
But the greatest TES game ever was released 14 years ago.
Unofficial patches, Oblivion Reloaded, and Oscuro's overhaul are essential.
Also a shitton of other mods because game is broken as fuck today and barely playable.
Guardly's guide gives some decent recommendations but no instructions beyond that like on how to properly install them.
>Back when Bethesda's NPC interaction just seemed retarded instead of horribly broken and fake
That retardation has its charms though.
Heavily modded Oblivion, actually.
>That retardation has its charms though.
Ah, yes, the point of view of a lesser creation gradient.
I got you f-a-m
This was almost 2 years ago, but I remember having fun with this loadset.
Porn mods are optional, depending on what kind of experience you're looking for.
Jesus those eyes look way too fucking HIE REZ.
It's like I'm staring into 2 eyes of Sauron.
yes I was in the chess club
>just don't level
Basically this
Or get Oscuro's Overhaul & a leveling mod like OblivionXP or Realistic Leveling that lets you not have to worry about micromanaging the way you level up.
The world is empty, characters and vegetation look like made out of clay, combat is stiff and clunky, AI is utterly terrible, dialogues are Skyrim tier bullshit, the whole game is too easy in general. Even mods can't help. The only decent Bethesda game is Morrowind, and I don't like it either.
WATCH THE SKIES
HOLY SHIT
why that many
You sleep rather soundly for a murderer.
My, my, you're a big one. A Nerd, I'd guess, right? So euphoric ... But you can't melt steel, can you boy? You can't do anything to get out of here. And those big mounds of fat? They're going to waste away. When the end comes, you won't even have the strength to cry for your mother. That's right. You're going to die in here. You hear me, Nerd? You're going to die in here!
I'm more worried about the fact that he fell in a tub of wax.
That shit scared me
What Final Fantasy game is this from?
once you play the game long enough, you'll understand.
It took me exactly 247 mods for Skyrim before I could say I was enjoying myself, for example.
Just keep in mind, if you want to mod a bethesda game right, be prepared to spend the next 2 to 3 days putting everything together before you actually start playing the game.
Shitty Bethesda games need a lot of mods to be fun, unless you're on the autism spectrum.
I mean he's a lizard. Scales are shiny. Although the luster of the scales doesn't match that of the room.
But hey the author of that mod is just a noob who cannot shaders right?
>HAHA YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD
>that's just nonsense
>not now not ever
>okay
>Not bad!
Nah Oblivion sucked and the NPCs were some ugly fucking mongrels. The combat was an improvement though.
You guys better reinstall Oblivion and give it the Nehrim treatment before Enderal hits Skyrim early July.
By Azura! By Azura! By Azura!
I think it's because the armor she's wearing is enchanted, all the characters who wear enchanted armor have a glow around them.
I just started replaying this and it's still fun and comfy as hell. Sometimes I wish Skyrim wasn't just brown grey and dull green: the game
>Shitty Bethesda games need a lot of mods to be fun
>It took me exactly 247 mods for Skyim befire I could say I was enjoying myself.
Found the autistic couple in the thread.
>leveled enemies
>awful combat
>shitty oblivion gates
>every city is basically the same
Oblivion a shit
>the greatest TES game ever was released a little over 10 years ago.
NEIN NEIN NEIN
MORROWIND
ENEMIES DON'T LEVEL WITH YOU IN SOME GAY FUCKING CASUAL FASHION
>his toaster can't even run modded Oblivion
lmao
Yet you're still underage.
>Oblivion shills still exist
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Oblivion is the beginning of the end of Bethesda.
That sounds rather exhausting and not fun. I guess I'll just enjoy the vanilla version.
I beat New Vegas without any mods and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had playing a video game, so...
Morrowind is FOURTEEN that's 14 YEARS old and I still can't get it to run at 60 fps. My graphics card is trash no bully
New Vegas wasn't made by Bethesda, so...
>every city is basically the same
Oh yes because Bruma looks like Skingrad that looks like Kvatch...oh wait
>I find vanilla Bethesda games enjoyable and full of rich content
[autism intensifies]
Just a reminder he got a lifetime achievement award after Fallout 4.
>Oblivion is the greatest TES game ever released
>this is an acceptable opinion in nuNeo-Sup Forums
Hiroshima needs to nuke this board.
>>every city is basically the same
Now you know this isn't true.
Viper yourself.
cant fix the gameplay though
But New Vegas was actually a good game by default.
This, you aren't the Chosen One, you help the Chosen One kill himself
It does. Fuck obliviasdfasdan fags.
So how bad is TESO?
There's nothing wrong with it git gud
>quest: hey go buy a book from this store halfway across the map
>quest: hey go to this other place and get this book someone stole from me
>quest: hey i need some mushrooms go to the forest and pick some for me
I'd rather play wow.
>dice rolling gameplay
>can't hit shit at point blank range with a huge ass sword
yea no
Oblivion > Morrowind > Daggerfall > Skyrim > Online
It was my first RPG game ever :(
Of course I'd be impressed.
But there's literally a mod that fixes this
which one
I'd say Daggerfall is the best just because you actually have things to spend money on.
Welcome to summer.
>>awful combat
it has the best vanilla combat in the series
Here's a spoonfeed 4u
nexusmods.com
lmfao
>nexusmods.com
thanks my man, was delish
Oblivion has best quest mods
>Lost Spires, Golden Crest, Knights of the Nine Revelations, Northern Front...
Use the weapon related to what you're skilled in
As soon as you hit 40 in a skill you pretty much won't miss as long as your stamina is above 80%
Lol
Why play mediocre RPGs when you can play good ones?
>greatest TES game ever
This is how I know you were 10 when it came out.
Is there a mod that fixes the faces without turning them into animu garbage?
any mods to fix the shitty cluttered ui?
That's explain a Lot. Still, it should have been your first Game too for not seeing how horrible it was.
Because the system itself was good and perfect tool for modders to put together interesting mods. Shame Bethesda only really used for Dark Brotherhood quests which were absolute highlight of the game.
nexusmods.com
The closest you'll get
...
why not both? gothic 2 is one of those perfect sequels, though - bigger and better original.
Shivering Isles, the Dark Brotherhood questline and the Thieves Guild questline are fucking masterpieces.
>morrowind
>cluttered ui
you mean best ui ever made? you're crazy, n'wah.
that looks even shittier than the original
Also had the best DLC along with Fallout 3
Then you're outta luck senpai
This is me, swapping Morrowind and Daggerfall.
My friend actually started yelling at me when I told him, fucking nerd.
>best ui
99% of the time you can't make out what kind of buff or debuff you have
Fallout 3 had pretty average DLC
Kek
Wait?
Why is everyone shitting on Oblivion? Why does Sup Forums always have to be so fucking edgy and contrarian? Just because Skyrim and Fallout 4 were garbage it doesn't mean that Oblivion was garbage too. Yes, the game had a bunch of flaws, but it was still extremely enjoyable with tons of creative and thought-out quests.
>OBLIVION WAS 10 YEARS
>a kid who was 8 then is 18 now
Gee, what a coinkidink we are getting Oblivion threads like this. Now I don't even care about Oblivion, but the wave of testosterone deficient new males posting right now is troubling.
The worst is when they complain about UI when it actually offers a superior macro and micro when compared to modern games.
>TFW you think of TES and all that you remember is mediocrity
nothing Bethesda does can stand the test of time
yeah but YOU WERE 10 AND YOUR OPINION IS DIFFERENT FROM MINE

Depends what you understand by "animu garbage". Actually looking like anime or looking mildly attractive and not like anemic goblins.
>implying 8 year olds played oblivion
>those eyes
Horrifying
unplayable if you ask me.

What is edgy and contrarian about saying that Bethesda games are shit? You can't name a single one without some horrible flaw.
why is oblivions combat satisfying with a bit of comedy?
it actually has weight in it imo
