The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Games

[QUOTE=StupidUsername67;19496101]Whoa whoa whoa what? I've never heard of this. Is it new or something? And no, I don't think DR has slow-mo. Actually I didn't even know that was possible. [editline]08:33PM[/editline] Shit that alone is making me reinstall the game.[/QUOTE]Actually, shield bash and slow-mo are DR functions, not UV. UV is buggy as hell too. ESPECIALLY the throwing. So many crashes. [editline]05:38PM[/editline] Decapitations are DR too.

Well then, he should download DR. I throw all the time and don't crash. Well, I actually hate throwing, does no damage.

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;19496260]Well then, he should download DR. I throw all the time and don't crash. Well, I actually hate throwing, does no damage.[/QUOTE]Huh? UV throwing does massive damage if it's a sneak attack. It's actually really unbalanced, since nobody notices when someone gets a knife thrown into them due to UV being badly coded. Sneak throws are instakills on almost everything. And yes, ditch UV and get DR. Jumping attacks, dismemberment, decapitation, dodging, shield bashing, throat slitting...it's huge.

I have DR and UV. [editline]08:53PM[/editline] I reccomend DR for the moves, attacks, decapitation (although I've never seen it happen, even dismemberment), and UV for the kicking/hand attacks and its locational damage, unconscious enemies and stuff. [editline]08:56PM[/editline] UV also offers Judo style moves. [editline]08:57PM[/editline] UV is good for hand to hand combat, and DR is good for everything else, so both of them work pretty well. How do you decapitate somebody, or dismember them?

How do you decapitate somebody, or dismember them?[/QUOTE]Basically it's a critical hit system. When you roll a crit, it goes into slow-mo so you can choose the bit you want to cut off (really it's a choice between cutting their head off or cutting them in half). Additionally, if an enemy is blocking you have a chance to their hands off at the wrists. These crits, however, only happen on sideways/backwards power attacks (where you slash instead of stab, since cutting off someone's head with a stab is just stupid). Thankfully, you can still crit with forwards power attacks, in which you stab them in the cut, then deftly spin and decapitate them while they double over in a agony. Fun! Yes, DR is geared towards fighting with a weapon (crits with crushing weapons do things like explode heads into bits, and arrows can crit and pierce lungs, providing you aimed for the chest). UV is a great concept, and does some things well, but it's badly animated, buggy, and confusing to operate.

Does all of this stuff work in third person only, or is it first person too? Also I didn't know DR had all of that. Last time I used DR was when it was version 1 or 2 I think.

Some actions force third person for the duration, but most things can be done just fine in FP.

I think he was talking to me, actually. Anyway, other than DR what other major mods are recommended? I'm looking for a almost brand new experience since I've played vanilla Oblivion with minor mods so many times already.

When I first used DR the only real amazing feature was being able to dismember people.

huh i've only been able to decapitate one person and my shield bash + kick does not knock them over at all how do i crit more without setting the settings to 100%

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;19496806]huh i've only been able to decapitate one person and my shield bash + kick does not knock them over at all how do i crit more without setting the settings to 100%[/QUOTE]Do more left/right power attacks, shield bash and attack while they're staggered...what's your crit percentage?

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;19496806]huh i've only been able to decapitate one person and my shield bash + kick does not knock them over at all how do i crit more without setting the settings to 100%[/QUOTE] Increase strength, blade/fist/blunt skills

But I think I have an outdated version because I have no kick key other than the UV special move to kick. Also, I figured out how to stab, it is pretty cool. A guy was charging at me and I broke his nose with my shield and then ran him through. Pretty satisfying.

[QUOTE=Sibilantjoe;19496829]Do more left/right power attacks, shield bash and attack while they're staggered...what's your crit percentage?[/QUOTE] 50%

Road travelers or something adds road guards and general travelers that walk the roads of Cyrodil. A good hunger mod, if you are into that sort of thing. If you like hand to hand, UV is pretty good because it adds Judo moves and other hand to hand things. Other than that, I only have a few minor armor/mount mods.

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;19497205]50%[/QUOTE] I changed mine to 100% for the lulz, but I still am not rolling any crits... It might be that my blade skill isn't over 50 yet though. [editline]10:05PM[/editline] How do you kick in DR, I am pressing the grab key but it is just grabbing items not kicking.

Should I get the Unofficial Patches or just pass? [editline]10:14PM[/editline] What about OOO too? Is that any good?

I'm not sure about OOO, I'll check it out.

Thats why UV is good, you can kick and power kick whenever. Also you can tackle people, and wrestle them to the ground which I found very useful while fighting groups.

Can't wait to make an agile character who goes around kicking people over and stabbing them!

I can't wait to make a knight character and impale people as they jump at me.

Deadly Reflex really is great. Although I did find it odd when I performed a finishing move where I jammed my bow into into the chest of an enemy I had just knocked down. It'd make sense with a sword, but a bow...?

Weird. I like how it adds weapon punching so you aren't completely fucked if an enemy closes in on you while using your bow.

Yeah. I just got a new video card. Now, what visual mods should I get? I've got Qarl's and ENBSeries, but I want more.

Whenever I try to get deadly reflex working, my game always crashes. It just doesn't want to work.

You need unofficial patches, you need that mod script thing too.

There's some tentacle rape mod on TESNexus. [url]http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=172093&st=30[/url] This is currently the number one file on TESNexus. :whoptc:
