expanding oblivion


ImpelDown1

Recommended Posts

while playing oblivion i got tired of running into the borders so i turned them off....then i got tired of looking at the empty wastes that the other places like morrowind and elsweyr were left to.....i wish someone would round up mods like morroblivion,elsweyr and such and make a lore accurate and workable mod that included all countries of tamriel that actually had all the cities and unique stuff about the given place. i would try but i have absolutly no knowledge of programing or how to make mods un fortunatly.

There have been several attempts to add the other provinces. It's a HUGE undertaking and would take as much effort and as many people as it took to make the original game to add just one more province. So: Minimum, 3 to 5 years and around 40 professional programmers for EACH province. And, professional programmers like to be paid for their work. :whistling:

 

Elsweyr is probably the best attempt so far, but it still has mostly empty space after several years. Adding all of the provinces, and making them work just like Oblivion is just too much work for even a team of experienced modders. And, Skyrim will be even more different that the rest.

 

The game engine has changed with each game. The Morrowind engine is similar. But the older engines are completely different. And, the Skyrim engine will be even more different according to Bethsoft sources.

 

What this means is that things are programmed different for each game so most of the actual stuff must be remade to work with the newer engine.

I am afraid that no one is going to devote that kind of time to Oblivion modding now that Skyrim is coming out. Maybe you could give your sales pitch to Skyrim modders and see about getting some content built for the provinces adjacent to Skyrim using the new game platform. Edited by David Brasher

Someone was working (or maybe are still working) on a mod called Valenwood - Abecean Isles. But I don't know anything else. I mean that I don't know if they're working on this mod or not. :mellow:
