How to make Oblivion playable again?


steebles

Recommended Posts

Alright Men and Mer out there, I've recently started playing Oblivion again and I noticed something. This game is damn near unplayable by todays standards. I mean sure Oblivion will always go down as one of my favorite games of all time, but now I have a hard time enjoying it at all. So I ask you my fellow modders what would be the best mods to make oblivion feel like new?

its a Question of why

 

Is the Story boring? Play new Story mods

Is the leveling system the problem? Take a new experience like OWC

Are the graphics the problem? Take OBGE

Are Races ugly? Take a raceoverhaul

Are the landsapes boring? Take unique landscapes

 

Tell us guy what the problem is

 

and you'll find help

Scroll down to the questions part, and answer those, that way we might be able to help you more, but since you're new to mods this should probably be treated as a "new to mods" or "essential mods" topic.

(note the distinction between the two, don't just follow mindless peer pressure, try and make your own opinions and find what you'll like)

Read the AZERessential topics to get the basic "get wryebash, OBMM, OBSE, start slow" basic advice for starters recommendations

 

If you want any further help I suggest you tell us about yourself; what you like and what you're looking for... Here's some questions to get you started:

 

Have you played Oblivion already?

What sort of things interest you?

What type of Character do you usually play? (good/evil, thief/mage, roleplayer/random-no-story-hack-and-slasher?)

Are there specific types of mods you think would interest you? (Quests, graphic mods, gameplay mods, overhauls, etc.)

When did you leave?

What did you not like about Oblivion? What did Oblivion not have or need more of?

Male or female character?

 

For the occasional "What are your must haves?"

 

Gameplay mods:

 

Hear No Evil

Crime Has Witnesses

Audacious Magery

Conduit magic

Custom spell Icons

Training cattle

Keychain

Refscope(good for troubleshooting)

Vows and Covenants

LAME (Needed for Integration. no longer needed)

RBP (Needed for Integration. No longer needed )

 

I'm mostly a quest mod player and I recently posted a big rundown for most of them that I've played here and here.

 

(Some of these are probably outdated by now)

Dubiousness' list

Vargr's list

S'lider's Copy/paste

SkyRanger-1's

Pseron Wyrd's top 10 (Don't really want a lot top 10's or simple lists but I'm desperate for cop/pastes at the moment)

Tommy H's

 

 

admittedly this is an old copy/paste, but I did just add Dubiousness' to the end :-P
