After all these years I haven't played any of Oblivion's expansion's yet. I've heard Shivering Isles is really good, but is it worth it if I have to create an entirely new character and play through the game from scratch?

you don't have to create a new character if you have a save because it just appears as an island on the bay off of bravil, I think

I've put a lot of time into the game and still haven't done shivering isles

It's shit. They ruined Sheogorath with reddit humor CHEESE XD and dungeons are Skyrim draugr tier neverending nightmares.

Morrowind's Tribunal is better, as is Skyrim's Dragonborn.

Im not sure, it really depends on how much you enjoy Oblivion to do that. The expansion is great but jumping in with a character you already have is fine and wont make much of a difference in the long run.

Will Oblivion run decently off Intel HD 3000 graphics?

>Will Oblivion run decently
We've got ourselves a comedian here.

It's the best expansion they've ever made, so if you like TES as a whole then you play it.

Also don't be a bitch and learn to mod it's easy if you're not retarded, hell the hardest part is parsing down options.

was with you until the last 4 words of your post

So no?

Skyrim runs better than Oblivion.

>internal graphics
probably not

you could probably play morrowind tho

It's overrated but still good

Did reddit even exist back then?
I remember it being fine. Daydra suck ass anyway.

don't listen to this idiot, shivering isles is the best dlc by far than any skyrim dlc

it's fine as long as you acknowledge that skyrim is shit

Skyrim > Oblivion

...

wrong

Morrowind and Oblivion are good games, Skyrim is not

You're right.

Morrowind > Skyrim > Oblivion

>Oblivion
>good game

yes, skyrim is shit.

I was really disappointed by Shivering Isles. It's really pedestrian. It's not much of a realm of madness, very mundane. There's even a city with humans walking around. Most of the missions are fetch quests. Sheogorath is annoying and not impressive.

is knights of the nine worth playing?

it's the only official content I didn't do. I did every single quest other than that.

It's actually even better than Shivering Isles.

I played both Oblivion and Skyrim on my shitty laptop with Intel HD 3000 graphics. The games were playable, although they occasionally crashed (Oblivion seemed to crash more than Skyrim).

No part of it is worth doing the dumbass wayshrine pilgrimage

Literally the only good part of Oblivion and even then the initial pilgrimage is pretty shitty.

Its bethesdas best expansion and better than an already good base game.

It's alright if you're into boring paladin DEUS VULT shit but otherwise pass

has Sup Forums always been this shit?

Sup Forums is a zombie and half the threads are made by bots

Oblivion is shit though, the only people that enjoy it are nostalgiafags who played it as a kid/teenager.

I started playing Oblivion after only ever playing Skyrim and I like Oblivion more, you have to actually dig a little to figure shit out instead of having everything handed to you and your guy goes into hell by like step 3 of the main quest

There's always some baiting faggot in these types of threads. Usually a phoneposter
I'm a morrowind fag myself, but I can recognize the other games are pretty good too.
Except for daggerfall

>I'm retarded and my only experience with TES is Skyrim
lol

Things I liked better in Oblivion
>quests
>actual stats

Things I liked better in Skyrim
>world
>art direction
>lore

If Bethesda had captured Skryim the way Jeremy Soule did it would rival Morrowind.

>bethesda lies
this isnt a revelation to anyone pal

I played morrowind --> oblivion --> skyrim and oblivion is pretty fucking legit

it's not perfect, it has aged like milk, but it's a decent game

As I've gotten older I've just started to appreciate what the games do well and what they do badly. No TES game is perfect and will never be perfect, even Morrowind (my favorite) has many flaws. These days I just like to discuss the TES games no matter which one it is, except Arena which I never attempted to try.

Daggerfall isn't perfect but I like it
Morrowind isn't perfect but I love it
Oblivion isn't perfect but I like it
Skyrim isn't perfect but I like it

I've never been able to finish Oblivion. What mods should I use this attempt?

This, fuck the wayshrine quest. Install a mod that lets you skip it, the quest is good but it's not worth the fucking pilgrimage.

A mod that fixes the level scaling. Oblivion's level scaling is easily the worst implementation of the mechanic ever conceived.

Any one you recommend? I used OOO last time.

Francescos Creatures and Items
I found it better than the alternatives.

Came in here to ask if there was a decent level scaling mod. The one that always turns me off from the game.

haven't played arena or daggerfall, but i feel the same was as you do regarding the other games

t. Absolute fucking retarded loser

I've only been playing it for like a week and my guy is at level 5 or 6, does the game take a huge ramp up in difficulty if my level gets too high?

>does the game take a huge ramp up in difficulty if my level gets too high?
yes, eventually youll get three shotted by trolls and ogres and will have to hit them 900 times to kill, only solution is to turn the difficulty slider all the way down, level "efficiently", or mods

That sounds like it sucks, but on the other hand I was getting bored of dungeons full of rats and imps.

the problem is that now in every single dungeon the rats and imps will be replaced by stronger enemies, so you wont feel like youre getting stronger or fighting anything unique at the same time

shit
