Fallout 4 to overtake Oblivion

Fallout 4 will have more mods than Oblivion sometime next year unless Oblivion modders get busy and crank some more mods out.

 

BTW, graphics are really good in 64-bit Dx11 games, but modders here have made great strides in this antique game, especially with landscapes and other textures.

I saw that, not a lot of oblivion modders still active. But this game is over 10 years old and suffer from a lot of competition. But I still love that and I wil continu dowload mods in a near futur.

I noticed that, too. Although there are less and less modders active, I don't think that the Oblivion community will die. A core of loyal mod users/makers will survive so as the Morrowind community did. Sure, we can't really predict the future. Nevertheless, I will play/mod the game till I die, yes, I mean it. This game helped me going through my depression with the help of thousands of thousands of mods and the possibility to build my own worlds for this game using the Construction Set and a lot of other modding tools (Gimp, Blender, Nifskope - just to name few).

 

Oblivion remains my favorite game of all time and no Skyrim and no Fallout (3/NV) could change that. I can't say that this applies to FO4 as well, because I haven't play the game yet; I need to upgrade or buy a new computer first sometime in the future in order to play it. Until that happens, I'll have enough time to play all the nice Oblivion mods on my never ending list of mods that I want to play someday :D.

I ordered both Fallout 4 and Oblivion during the summer sales at Steam in 2016. I had never played Oblivion before, but I played Oblivion for a couple of months before I even got around to playing Fallout 4. Waiting for Fallout 4 was good because the final DCL came out during that interim and the Fallout Wiki had that much more in terms of answers to questions. I finally got a chance to see what all my fellow Skyrim players had been talking about. So much of the Morrowind and Oblivion lore is part of Skyrim and its mods that I had a feeling of deja vu in many parts of the game. One of the best parts was having Vilja as a Skyrim companion and then going to Oblivion and meeting her great great grandmother also named Vilja. A remarkable voice similarity runs in that Inglehooper family from Solstheim!

 

You get a sense of Oblivion's antiquity when you mention NMM and LOOT and fellow posters correct you and say Wrye Bash and BOSS.

 

Oblivion is a fun game, but it would be wonderful if it had the game mechanics polish of Skyrim and the high polygon count of Fallout 4.

Skyblivion is looking gorgeous imo:

Their forums mention next year as a possible first date for public releases. The game will be free but will require both Oblivion and Skyrim before it will install.

Now that the new Nexus format has been instituted and the games are listed by the number of downloads rather than the number of mods, Skyrim still has a massive lead, but Fallout 4 and Fallout New Vegas have both overtaken Oblivion.
