Jamisia Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi! I'm still new to Oblivion. My best char so far was a level 15 Dunmer, which I accidentally deleted (a bit too much cleaning up load & save)... Regardless, Oblivion is still the only I play. Since I've discovered mods, barely a month ago, I think, I've found searching and adding mods very addictive. But there's always something left out.. (why hasn't anyone done that already?) As you get accustomed to the game, or perhaps when you grow as gamer, you want more - enter mods. I noticed many people here have requested a playable centaur race. My modding skills are zero, but I think I recognize how hard it would be to make such a race. If you accept a human with four prosthetic limbs, voilà! you'll have your centaur in no-time. I imagine though the centaur would continually hit its head, in the IC prisons alone. So, if you want more, their appearance should resemble the way they're usually portrayed, and have them running around Tamriel the way they're supposed to, you, like me, will have no trouble identifying this as an Oblivion overhaul and not just some race mod. But still... Having said all that, I'd like to request a BIG mod. It struck me, when browsing for mods, how many people want to a "develop" land on the Gold Coast, around Anvil. The area, however, is limited. I propose, therefore, that Anvil is moved. You'll get a city, more to the east, and a separate port / harbor. Cyrodill, as far as one can tell from the maps, feels like a bridge between two continents. In my view, such a land, relatively wealthy, stable, should attract ships, all sorts of people and trading companies from here to Tokyo. Yet in Oblivion only two ships have anchored in Anvil Port: a ghost ship and sheep smugglers. That just will not do! So there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanceor Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Your first post? Welcome to Nexus! http://images.uesp.net//c/c4/Fishystick.jpg You're right that creating a playable centaur is very difficult... but someone has managed to pull it off and get it (mostly) working:http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/files/file/775-the-oblivion-centaur-project/ As for moving Anvil, moving entire towns is generally a bad idea. All sorts of quest and pathgrids (the paths that NPCs walk along) are dependent on stuff within the town and moving it is likely to break a lot of things. There are a couple of related mods that remodels all the towns including Anvil - Open Cities and Open Cities Reborn (and take note of the compatibility patches.) You could also check out Unique Landscapes, in particular the Gold Coast one which makes the area around Anvil prettier and livelier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamisia Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Thank you! And yes: that was my first post. I agree now that moving Anvil is a bad idea. The spot where I wanted it to go is already taken by the city of Sutch. Oops. In any case, can I alter the request (even if it keeps the name)? Actually I have several requests. First: I have Oblivion GOTYUK, which comes with KotN and SI. There are more official plug-ins, I know. Can't Bethesda, for some celebration of TES, release all - and at present hard to get - plug-ins to, say, TES Nexus? Second: the mod "borderless Cyrodill" allows me to venture into Hammerfell, Valenwood, Elsweyr, Morrowind and Skyrim. There's only one problem: unless you install a specific mod (providing content for every province separately), there's nothing there. Ahem, but one would expect someone to release a mod that provides randomly generated content, but only and only if borderless Cyrodill is active. I may be spoiled rotten, but sometimes Cyrodill feels a bit... small. Such a mod might give people an idea of what to expect in the upcoming Tamriel MMO. Third, and last: there's a race-mod "Sirens and tritons". There is, as far as I know, one suitable house on TES Nexus for mermaids and mermen, but no underwater adventure. Working title "Swimming With The Fishes" is probably not a good idea. BTW: did you notice that Samsung plans to produce foldable screens? Computers obviously do not work in Oblivion (totally lore unfriendly), but talking scrolls might pass.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awevalan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 You have many very cool and interesting ideas. I am interested in seeing what you would like to see come about in more detail like the randomly generated content throughout Tamriel if the borders are disabled. You can see some of my work if you hop through my profile. Some of my projects are a long time in coming but I would still be willing to help you out. Post/Hit me up if you like.
