peacefulexplorer Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi, I would like to know how/where to buy the oblivion expansions without securom software. I know the original game did not come with this software, but I can't find the game + expansions that seem to come without securom software.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonger Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) the original game DID come with securom software. no wait, could be thinking about Fallout3 . . . it certainly came with securom consider shopping at Direct2drive.com for alternate source Edited November 26, 2010 by Fonger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majikmonkee Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Um what is this securom software you speak of? I bought Vanilla through wal-mart and the expansions from the bethesda online store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I would stay away from D2D. as they have their own proprietary protection that isn't always compatible with mods. The disk versions are available as Knights of the Nine expansion and Shivering Isles expansion - look on Amazon, ebay and at local stores for prices. Unfortunately there is one DLC that is not available on disk. "The Fighters Stronghold' AKA Battlehorn castle. Or, online from the Beth store: https://orders.bethsoft.com/dlc/ actually very Inexpensive - most DLCs are US $ 1.89 - However Shivering Isles is not available there.

majikmonkee Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 My copy of SI was D2D. Oops. No issues yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth613 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 My copy of SI was D2D. Oops. No issues yet though.If I remember correctly you are the one with OBSE problems? Well this would most likely explain it, since OBSE does not work with Direct2Drive versions of Oblivion. However OBSE will work with the STEAM version. If you're going to by a digital version of Oblivion the STEAM version is the only would you should consider. For about $25 USD you can get the GOTY Deluxe, which includes everything you need.

majikmonkee Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I just get slowdown using OBSE but never went to SI while using it, if that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacefulexplorer Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hey, okay so I think I am going to buy the steam GOTY version. Will that have securom software? Also can I use oblivion mod manager with this version? Can I use the construction set and wyre bash with it? What modding will I be able to do with the steam GOTY deluxe edition?

bben46 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I don't know if the steam version has securom or not, but securom is on the DVD version and everything works with that. Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) - Yes, Construction Set (CS) - yesWrye Bash - yes. Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE )Yes (even though you didn't ask) You can do any modding with the Steam version that you can do with the DVD version. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth613 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 STEAM itself is "securom" basically. Think of it as a virtual disk check, a means of validation. Bben covered everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
