Ninnia Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 anyone agree with me on this? i think that a movement for making oblivion lanable should be started!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarya Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Um... why? That's not it's purpose. There's a lot of games suited for multiplayer, and this one is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientSpaceAeon Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Nope, BAD idea. Oblivion is strong because of the storyline and quests, and Oblivion world is immensely HUGE(took years to create it). If more than thousands of player play Oblivion online, then it will be very slow, because oblivion world isn't THAT big !!! Oblivion is 16 square miles (41 km2) in size. Imagine thousands of player playing in there. Compared with London that is 659 square miles (1706 sq km2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarya Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 In any way, Oblivion gameplay is not suited for multiplayer at all. Almost all player-only activities seem unworkable with multiplayer, from fast-travel and rest to sneak, lockpick and so on. I heard once there is a multiplayer patch, but I also heard it is rather unplayable. Also, Ovlivion's most praised feature, without which there's no point of playing it at all... mods. Just HOW are you imagine to do that? Of course, you all may have the same set... but what if not and that causes a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted771212User Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 There are some wip mods that allow to play oblivion trough hamachi. Never tried though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientSpaceAeon Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 @SaryaYes, you probably are right, I was thinking more of dungeon looting together, which seems cool, but I don't think about quests and other problem.

Nexus Set Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The idea for making a multiplayer mode for Oblivion has been around for a long time but alas it just ain't meant to be. It's a really tempting idea to have but the game is just not made to be that way. There were a number of past attempts to make a multiplayer mode for Oblivion but the projects were all abandoned due to lots of incompatibilities and bugs as mentioned by Sarya above. If you search for Oblivion Multiplayer on Google, you can find a lot of references to these long abandoned projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katashy Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 There are some mod that i once looked at that did this... http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19427 But, it appears this mod is dead, you can still try it, but I wouldnt, it could break your gam.
