Mods for me?

[Deleted1662706User]

I've recently reinstalled Oblivion just waiting for Skyrim so...

 

I like to play my character as a recluse. You know, he stays out of the cities, he has his bow and arrows, isn't very good with people. What mods would be suitable to enhance this gameplay for me? I've recently got Sounds of Cyrodill and the other sound affecting mods to make it better, and Fenrir the Wolf so that I have my companion with me at all times. I also have CM partners so I can get one if need be.

 

Any other mods you guys can recommend?

 

Thanks.

Non-Generic:

Can't really think of very many recluse mods. I mean Oblivion isn't really very atmospheric and oppressive like say STALKER is, and you can't really spend your time building stuff like in MineCraft. The main thing to do in the game is do quests for people, talk to people, fight people. Just sitting in a house all day or out in the wild doesn't work so well in Oblivion... Unless I'm somehow misunderstanding you? Anyway, mods to make it more fun:

wandering encounters

unique landscapes

probably an eat/drink/sleep type mod.

Maybe a apocalyptic type mod, like the zombie mod

possibly a secluded house mod or two.

 

 

 

 

GENERIC PART THAT EVERYONE GETS:

 

If you want the most help possible it helps to give as much information, and uniqueness as possible.

 

Here's my generic written thing for these topics. if you want something specific give more details. I ask some questions in the below text as a small guide line. You can answer them if you wish:

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, theif/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?"

Mostly quest mods: http://kno.li/i

 

My favorite quests are:

Integration (my most favorite)

Malevolent, Runied tail, Tears of the fiend

Windfall

The Blackwood company

Dremora Companion

Servant of the Dawn

Imperial Legion Faction

 

 

Gameplay mods:

 

Hear No Evil

Vector

Crime Has Witnesses

Audacious Magery

Conduit magic

Custom spell Icons

Training cattle

Keychain

Refscope(good for troubleshooting)

Vows and Covenants

Pluke's roleplaying persuasion

LAME (Needed for Integration)

RBP (Needed for Integration)

 

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)

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)

You did misunderstand me :)

 

Have you played Oblivion already? Yes, for years now.

What sort of things interest you? I love being a character with a bow and arrow, he doesn't sit there all day, he wanders a lot to learn things, he hunts. He avoids cities, never stays for long, always moving, only sleeping then packing up camp.

What type of Character do you usually play? (good/evil, theif/mage, roleplayer/random-no-story-hack-and-slasher?) Good. He's an archer. Roleplayer.

Are there specific types of mods you think would interest you? (Quests, graphic mods, gameplay mods, overhauls, etc.) Gameplay mods, or quests that involved me going to different lands. My character loves to explore, or even say a Castle mod full of servants that he could find.

When did you leave? I left about a year ago.

What did you not like about Oblivion? What did Oblivion not have or need more of? I loved everything, I just got bored of it.

Male or female character? Male.

Archer: Duke patricks combat archery, conduit magic.

 

wandering:

tamriel travellers

wandering encounters

probably a portable camp mod

 

quests:

Windfall,

Integration: The Stranded Light (it's very social, but it also features a lot of riddles, exploring, and roaming.)

Hi,

 

Thanks for the recommendations! I will surely try Integration and a few others :)

 

I can't use Integration however. It requires "Less annoying magic experience", which I cannot download since it is hidden. What do I do?

The moddb page has links to RBP and LAME also this news post has a version without requirements you can try out:

If you want a sleep mod, my Real Sleep Extended may suit you. It allows you to pick up and carry bedrolls with you, and place them wherever you want. It also has options made for roleplaying characters of your type, making the sleep more effective out in the wilderness than inside in a proper bed.

 

And if you really like the discovery part, you may consider another mod of mine, Map Marker Overhaul. By using the realism ini (or similar settings), your world map no longer works as a modern GPS, but more like a real map where you can actually get lost due to not knowing where you are.

I think Aesgaard might be interesting to explore.

 

Take a Look here.

All natural, AnimatedWIndowlightingsystem, natural habitat, rainbows

immersive interiors if you want the odd Inn you go into to be awesome.

 

 

 

BetterNightSky for betterr moons etc.

 

I use Enchanted Portable Tent the best campsite type mod I've found, and it's got all natural support.

 

 

 

If you're computer can handle it definately get the OBGE plugin package for godrays etc.

 

Companion Vilja, fully voiced companion.

 

WAC Is worth looking into aswell, adds a lot of atmosphere.
