If you don't like things leveling up around you, you'll probably want to try Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. It's probably the largest Oblivion mod with the most features, and it makes many things static. It will work alongside MMM and Francesco's (or so I'm told) but to do that you'll need another mod called FCOM.

Amazing. Beautiful. Other words escape me...

I think that nothing beats real-time first-person combat. This was one of the first details that attracted me to Morrowind and then Oblivion. Turn-based combat for me gets redundant and therefore boring rather quickly. In games like Oblivion no two battles are ever the same so the game is never really dead, especially if you love hack-&-slash.

Thanks. I can only speak for myself, but equality is all I ask.
-
I don't think so
Can you be more specific?

Very well written. It looks like we have another writer with the skills of a professional here!

I hear the Mediterranean is lovely this time of year!

I don't like OOO because it takes a lot of the leveled lists, which are one of the game aspects that makes it so cool in my opinion, and makes them static.
But I love MMM & Fran's together and highly recommend them because they add enough content to the game to make even an experienced player want to start a new game and play it through.

My Must-haves:
CM Partners
Mart's Monster Mod
Midas Magic Spells of Aurum
Francesco's Optional Leveled Creatures and Items
Armamentarium for Fran's
any female and male body replacers
Apachii Goddess Store
Apachii Heroes Store
Slof's Oblivion Goth Shop.
These are the main mods that made me realize I can never again play vanilla Oblivion.
A lot of people swear by Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, but it makes a lot of things static and one of my favorite things about Oblivion is that it's leveled so I don't use OOO. A lot of the cool stuff in OOO can be found in other mods that don't screw with the leveled lists.

Welcome to the order and alll clicked
now about that "special" ceremony My little fairy.... :whistling:
what... do we have to draw blood and write our name?
Somehow I doubt that's what she has in mind... :whistling:
its dezi, we may never know for sure...
pervert
But I can come up with a pretty good guess... :whistling:
Name-calling gets us all nowhere...

I've never used the CS, but I have used other such tools for other games in the past.
On the one hand the wonder at being in a world is gone once you look inside it, but it is replaced with an even better wonder.
I like going beyond the borders of the game and running as far as I can into the blank land until I reach the edge. Sometimes land is still there. The whole section of the map between Anvil and Leyawiin is my favorite place for this because the solid land ends and yet there's still land, whole mountain ranges, extending off into the distance, completely barren like an alien world. But you just fall through it into Blue Hell if you jump and then it makes a brown square to catch you before the game crashes from having to calculate too much falling distance. I noticed after a while that the game works by making a radius of solid land around you (until you go far enough off the map), and everything else you see, even distant hills about 50 yards ahead, is actually just the non-solid stuff. Also, the radius of solid land is created somewhat above the non-solid land. The non-solid land has a uniform distant grass texture that looks great in the fully developed game area, but the effect becomes obvious at the edge beyond the borders.
I just finished a degree in Animation and Visual Effects with a focus on environmental modeling. I know how it's all done. I can watch a visually stunning movie like Transformers Revenge of the Fallen or Star Trek and think of several different ways to create this or that shot. Sometimes it does ruin the movie. Sometimes the magic is gone when I think of all the long hours it takes the rigging team just to set up Optimus Prime's hand gestures. Knowing the technical reality of fantasy can ruin it sometimes, yes. Also really bad writing and directing can ruin things, but that's a different story.
But then the magic is back when I think, "Hey, I know how to make stuff like this, so why don't I just do that?" It's a better magic, to know how to do your own vision, than to just stare at someone else's.
Being a creative person myself, more so with quill and ink than with a CPU, I do know that feeling as well. I suppose that's really why I started this topic: because I'm torn between two worlds. The story of my life...

After looking at all of your pics, I had to do a double take, and studied them for a second time.
You're talent is remarkable, and epitomizes the meaning; a picture is worth a thousand words. You seem to embody the rare instance when a person's external beauty reflects the hidden talent within...
Yeah, that's what I meant... :whistling:

I just wrote a piece that I plan on posting, but since it shares a similar "rape" theme, I think I might have to modify it first...I don't want to write something even remotely similar to another member. With that said, I truly enjoyed your piece, and think your talent is far better than you give yourself credit for.
I'm in no way trying to speak for my friend, but if I had to guess I'd say Dezdimona would tell you to write what you feel if you believe it needs to be written. Am I right, Big Sister?
-
Well said. I agree.
-
Did I miss something?
-
You are going about it the wrong way. There is no spoon.
The game IS the Construction Set and vanilla Oblivion is just an example of what can be done with it.
Beautifully stated; puts things into an entirely different perspective.
-
Sorry I'm still trying to find time to catch up on reading all your prolific works, Dezdimona, but the experience is as always a pleasure.

Greetings and welcome to the Nexus! There's so many things to do here you'll never have time to mod or play your game again!

Thanks, and for the click!

I'm thankful that we have the Construction Sets for both Morrowind and Oblivion; I believe it's mods that keep these great games alive for most of us. But I can't help but feel that these tools totally shatter the illusion of game immersion for us. Being able to see everywhere and to see things I shouldn't know exist (like reference markers, for example), being able to manipulate everything in the world like a deity and seeing just how autonomous the AI setup is after having been so impressed by it -- things like this took much of the wonderment out of the game experience for me. I'm not trying to say that I wish the CS never existed because I love mods and modding, I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same way I do. Does using things like TES4Gecko, Wrye Bash and the Construction Set spoil the immersion for you?

Hey everyone, is there a link on where to get oblivion sigs? or atleast teach me the step by step guide on making a sig? :thanks:
There's no real tutorial that I know of. To make your own sig you have to take the images you want to use (like my little fairy) and upload them to another site like MySpace, Photobucket or DeviantArt. Then you go to your profile page to the section that says 'Edit your signature' and type in the full url of the image using the BB code.
O.o Finally Find it.
