[QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;41685499]gonna play Oblivion again. is there a list of like essential mods somewhere?[/QUOTE] Essential: OBSE: Script Extender. Prerequisite for most interesting mods. Not essential, but worth being aware of: Supreme Magicka: adds in a fair few spells (including jump and levitation), tweaks existing ones. Generally makes spellcasters more viable. Midas Magic: Far superior to the Skyrim version, adds in a large number of unique and powerful spells which require you to grind up gold nuggets with other materials to acquire. Oblivion XP: Converts the TES levelling system to a more conventional XP gain system, allowing you to allocate skill and attribute points when you level. Deadly Reflex: Melee and ranged combat overhaul, rewards you for being unpredictable in your attack patterns and timing your blocks (among other things). However, it is [i]an absolute bitch[/i] to install. Oblivion Character Overhaul: Removes potato. Changes the meshes and textures used for character heads to be more in line with Skyrim's aesthetic, thus vastly improving most NPCs without bimbo-ifying them.

Are there any mods for Oblivion that are similar to Skyrim's Alternate Start - Live Another Life mod? I really hate having to start the same way every time I make a new character.

I've been waiting to see ESO presentation for so long and yet I expect to be disappointed. [editline]2nd August 2013[/editline] It's live if anyone is interested: [URL]http://pl.twitch.tv/bethesda[/URL]

Argonians don't look as bad as they did the first time they showed them off... although, they still don't look too great.

If they avoid the usual MMO immersion problems(monster closets, questing feeling like a chore with no signifigance, etc), this could be a decent game I suppose. [editline]2nd August 2013[/editline] The animations aren't looking so great though.

The whole game is looking kind of lame, they aren't going to charge monthly for it are they?

I don't think attempting to copy the Skyrim UI was a good idea, they just made this whole thing look like an very early development version of Skyrim. Archery looks awful also.

As I've said a million times before; it looks like a great MMO, but a horrible TES game.

the whole game looks really unfinished

[QUOTE=gooooooooooogle;41687213]the whole game looks really unfinished[/QUOTE] Well, it is in closed beta.

[QUOTE=gooooooooooogle;41687213]the whole game looks really unfinished[/QUOTE] It is unfinished since its still in Beta But anyway can you be more specific? looks pretty cool to me

I actually find the game pretty good looking for a game that still has almost a year to be released.

Wow, that was short. No wonder people in twitch chat are raging.

Or you could just do some .ini magic and find high-res LoD texture mods. I haven't tested that method, though.

One thing I don't like about it is the fact that too many clouds start pouring rain on a sunny day.

I meant oblivion (oops!) but skyrim has pretty bad LODs too - though all you'd need to do is just modify it so a massive cloud just constantly covers the swamp area near solitude and you'd get rid of most of the shit [editline]2nd August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Daemon White;41687466]One thing I don't like about it is the fact that too many clouds start pouring rain on a sunny day.

[QUOTE=Generic Monk;41687478]I tried AOF lod trees and all they did was fuck up my lod trees - is it because I'm using skyrim flora overhaul?[/QUOTE] Does it look like the LOD trees were cut in half? Look in Meshes\Terrain\Tamriel\Trees and find the .LST file. Kill it, then run the game again.

[QUOTE=pawelte1;41687276]Wow, that was short. No wonder people in twitch chat are raging.[/QUOTE] To be fair the twitch chat was mostly spamming little 8 year old shits

[QUOTE=Leather Belt;41687172]The whole game is looking kind of lame, they aren't going to charge monthly for it are they?[/QUOTE] I hope they won't. Single Purchase like GW2 would be great.

[QUOTE=dogmachines;41687099].[/QUOTE] I'd actualy love for monsters to come out of closets on occasion.

[QUOTE=Chaos Zero;41687671]To be fair the twitch chat was mostly spamming little 8 year old shits[/QUOTE] "omg its a better assassins creed!!" when they saw the rendered video

according to them it's also apparently a WoW clone, presumably because it's an mmorpg and it takes place in an entire continent.

[QUOTE=pawelte1;41687276]Wow, that was short. No wonder people in twitch chat are raging.[/QUOTE] yeah it was anyway i didnt follow the chat, what did ppl there think of the demo?

If you chose the first one, if you install any lod relted mod itll fuck the trees up and make them look chopped in half from far away.
