  1. The games Morrowind and Oblivion occupy the same TES Nexus, I'm afraid. I'd also like to see them separated, but it's my guess that such a separation would require an awful lot of work from somebody so I understand why it's not done. I also think I've read here somewhere that in the beginning nobody expected the Nexus sites to become this huge, so again I understand. You could search by file tags, though I realize that's not exactly what you're asking for. The good news is that I've heard Skyrim will have it's own separate Nexus.
  2. Exactly the sort of thing the big M would try to do. Try, that is. For just about every default Microsoft Windows program I can think of someone else has created one that works better or just as well and is either free or far less expensive.
  3. Yes. It's what I play it on. It's recommended to install it someplace other than it's default location, though, if you intend to run it with mods.
  4. It indeed looks weird. The graphics remind me a lot of Immercenary on the Panasonic 3DO. I love FPS games but I'm not sure I'd like gameplay that doesn't involve shooting something or some other form of combat. Is there somewhere that we can get it for the PC?
  5. Not sure if this applies to breasts, but I've had the same issue with tails. It has something to do with the skeleton, and changing the NPC in question to use the "beast" skeleton fixes the problem for me in the case of the tails.
  6. Sounds fishy to me, but sometimes I can be a bit of a conspiracy theorist. It also sounds like another one of their big money-making schemes in conjunction with internet service providers. As it stands now, I can still enjoy playing many games on my PC even if I can no longer afford my internet service or the service is otherwise somehow interrupted. A lot of new games are rigged with some kind of on-line DRM, thus forcing us to pay for internet services and often memberships to some sites if we want to play those games. Putting my OS on-line someplace would mean that I'd be forced to pay for these services simply to use my computer PERIOD. They might as well go ahead and tattoo the bar-code on my forehead now...
  7. @jim_uk: Thanks for sharing that video. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/tongue.gif If the video were my only guide, I'd say the "future of gaming" looks to me a lot like a high-res version of the Dark Ages of gaming.
  8. I've been waiting in anticipation of DOOM4 as well. My only hope is that with the new one they will return to a style of gameplay more similar to the original games rather than trying to be all survival-horror storytelling this time.
  9. Thanks. My next posts on the blog will begin to focus on add-on levels and other content that can be used in conjunction with these programs to breathe new life into what some players these days consider a tired old game. Since it is a bit of a nostalgic subject I'm not going to hold my breath in hopes that the blog will have a lot of followers, but if I somehow manage to attract a few new players to the game then at least I'll feel like I've somewhat accomplished my goal.
  10. Yep. The only thing I found disappointing about that was the fact that they were only legally able to convert the first episode since it was the only one that is now considered freeware.
  11. If anyone is interested, I've started a new Blog that focuses on running classic Doom games on today's computers. http://doomfanatic.blogspot.com/
  12. ^ Quite probably a collector of comi-- er, graphic novels.
  13. TES4Gecko allows me to do this as well. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not trying to be a Wrye-basher here (pun intended). The original post was asking for advice on merging files and I merely offer a simpler solution, especially for folks who might be new to modding.
  14. Having a bashed patch will reduce your number of mods considerably and the only problems it caused for me was to override some mods. However, if you place those mods after the bashed patch or sort your mods before building the patch that won't be a problem anymore. Of course you need to understand what you are doing or you might create a mess for yourself. I recommend any user who has some understanding about mods to learn Wrye bash. Since I started to use it, I have experienced less crashes and it's much easier to sort mods and uninstall mods you don't want anymore. And that's fine if you're a member of the minority that gets that to work right. I prefer to stick with what I've had proven positive results with. I've been watching these forums for a good while now, and 9 times out of 10 when I see the word Wrye in a post it's someone asking how to fix what it's borked.
  15. Thanks for the tip, but no thanks. Fortunately most of us are able to think for ourselves.
  16. Ditto. Like I said, I learned that one the very hard way. Most pre-assembled PCs these days come with the OS already installed and no backup disc, so what happens if you don't make your own backup and then your OS get corrupted beyond repair? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another $200 to Microsooooooooooooooooooooooooft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. I think many people experience this, especially where it concerns the loss of a loved one. The holiday in question will always remind them of that person and the loss. I don't think it's abnormal and certainly not stupid. I think you're human.
  18. I know that feeling. Totally borked my entire OS once and had to start over from scratch. Having learned from that experience, these days I make backup copies of almost everything in one form or another with the dilligence of OCD. So I'll just take this opportunity to recommend that anyone who has a computer invest in an external HD and some program like Nero BackItUp so that you don't have to continue walking the tightrope without a net or skydiving without a backup chute.
