abc007 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hello Nexus Users, I am thinking about using OBSE but a friend of mine told me it might be dangerous, without explaining in what way that might be. What are your experiences? Are there any troubles with OBSE and can it harm my game, my system or anything else in any way? Greetzabc007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majikmonkee Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 In a nutshell, no. OBSE is a simple script extender that enhances Oblivion's capabilities but it in itself does not harm your game files, it is a very stable and well tested program. The potential danger is that it opens the door to many more complex mods you can't run without OBSE, but you should always take care with any mod you download, OBSE or not. So no, OBSE is no more dangerous than running mods you can use without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Yes, It killed 3 people last year. :whistling: No, It's not dangerous at all. Not only has it not harmed anyone, I don't know of any instances where it has harmed a computer or game. Well over a million people use it now and it is a very popular and stable program. :thumbsup: The few complaints that I have investigated turned out to not be caused by OBSE, but by improperly installed mods or a problem with a mod and not the OBSE. It is also required for many mods. If you don't have a mod that requires it, it won't do anything at all. If you do have a mod that requires it, your game will probably crash without it.

Fonger Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Yes, It killed 3 people last year. :whistling:on this forum alone because they didn't read how to install it and smashed their heads into their monitors before they could get it working.

Luckily, folks here encouraged me to keep looking for the real issue, because I couldn't live without some of my favorite OBSE supported mods!

abc007 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Yes, It killed 3 people last year. :whistling: :laugh: No seriously, thanks for your answers, I think I'll give it a try then! Is there anything I should pay special attention to? Edited December 10, 2010 by abc007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majikmonkee Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Honestly, not really. Check user feedback and comments on mods before you download but otherwise enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
