It's Been a While

Haha yeah I don't mean that sarcastically. I really enjoy shopping for and downloading new mods because each time I return to the game, there's always new mods that people recommend, or updates to old mods that I already remember were pretty good.

 

This is my 3rd return to playing Oblivion since I first got the game in 2007, IIRC. I still have my original disc from back then. It's a little scratched by now, but it still seems to work.

 

The best news though is that now I have a respectable PC. It's not really designed for gaming, but it's so much better than my old PC, which could only play Oblivion on 800x600 with everything turned off, and still only run at a stable 20 FPS, or lower outdoors. So maybe now I can finally start enjoying the scenery in Oblivion, which should make the game more enjoyable than before already. :D

 

Anyway yeah, just trying to reconnect with the community. I may be working on some mods again, as soon as I get everything set up. I've been practicing my voice acting, and I think I can copy some of the male voices pretty well. Might be interesting for some mods that require voice acting.

So far so good. I got FCOM and some minor mods installed, and after putting it all together via Wrye Bash, I went through test character creation without a CTD lol. Now for some cosmetic mods like animations, combat mods, etc.

Agreed, it is fun to go through a new setup and see everything that's been done in the way of mods since you played. I've just been doing that now for Morrowind, though I'm not abandoning Oblivion by any means.

Yeah. Games like Morrowind, Oblivion, etc., are cool and have nice storylines, but in all reality is most interesting because of the customization and the lol-tastic fun you can get by messing with the game. Some of my fondest memories of Oblivion from before were when the game does something cool or silly, either by vanilla stuff or when mods meet each other.

 

I remember one time a long time ago, I walked into the chapel in Skingrad, and one of the monks there got struck by lightning inside the chapel. He died instantly. I didn't do that, nor did I have any weather mods installed at that time. It wasn't even stormy outside. It was some freak accident, and I still don't know what caused it. But it was hilarious because it was such an unexpected thing to happen. Randomlulz. I spent the rest of the night messing with the poor guy's corpse before reviving him via console.
