Migrating from 360 Oblivion to PC

[Dweedle]

I am also a Skyrim player so I "hopefully" have an idea how to install the mods, which I assume can be done via Wrye Bash, no too worried about that though.

 

What I want to know is what are the best mods out there that you have played. I have had a look on the Nexus site but I am overwhelmed as there is much more content than there is for Skyrim. Also, I am downloading the unofficial patches.

 

My version of Oblivion is also the 5th Anniversary Edition so I have Knights of the Nine (Loved this back in the day on 360) and Shivering Isles and once I have it fully installed I will update it, this is the retail version.

 

Before I proceed I want to make two things clear:

 

Please do not suggest porn related mods I am not interested in that sort of thing, nudity I can deal with, but please no bonking.

 

Please keep it as lore friendly as possible or at least within the Elder Scrolls universe I really want to have an enhanced experience but don't want lord of the rings style things either.

 

Ok! first of all, I am after new quests! I have absolutely thrashed vanilla Oblivion afew years ago but.. I was young and only played on easy, and as a warrior. But, I really want new quests, new guilds maybe.. new storys etc.. something more.

 

Also, more areas to explore would be fantastic, more dungeons, lands etc.

 

Face mods would be nice too, I would like to make more unique looking Player Characters, not really after body mods more after facial altering mods.. nothing extreme I just would like to make my characters look abit nicer than on the 360.

 

Equipment mods would be great, would like to have more selection, same with magic.. would like more selection.

 

Difficulty mods would be welcome too.

 

Thank you for reading and thanks in advance.

The simplest answer is to start at the top mods list. After you've gotten everything you want on there - then reevaluated whats left on your list of desired mods and use keywords plus the endorsement system to locate good mods to satisfy those remaining needs.

Yes I've been looking at the top mods but I am feeling very overwhelmed, I did not anticipate such a large selection to be honest.

A repost from a similar topic:

 

The quest mod list lists the main quest mods out there and gives some indepth details on them.

 

Particularly I'd recommend Integration, just read the description:

Integration: The Stranded Light is an uniquely different quest mod. It deeply integrates your race, attributes/skills, and achievements in both Cyrodiil and The Shivering Isles into your options of completing its quests. The quests often have many solutions, usually tied into these aspects of your character. It includes more than 80 quests with a strong emphasis on thinking, character interaction, choices, consequences, and lore. A new, joinable guild plays an important role in many of the quests, which often focus on thinking rather than combat, social skills instead of fighting. It also reaches beyond the typical mold of quest mods, seeking to enrich the existing game world as whole by breathing new life into previously ignored aspects of the game, such as the "news" printed in the The Black Horse Courier. The quests don't all follow a single storyline. It's more like a collection of short stories than an epic novel. In addition to the new guild, you will also find interesting quest rewards inspired by the Less Annoying Magic Experience (LAME) mod, a new form of transportation, and enchanting/spellmaking capabilities for those not in the Mages Guild, a multistage in-depth optional romance, the first Shivering Isles guild, and so much more!

 

 

Below is my usual copy/paste for these topics. it lists some useful links, some of my favorite mods, and asks some questions you can answer to get more recommendations customized to what you want.

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. no longer needed)

RBP (Needed for Integration. No longer needed )

 

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)

Tommy H's

 

For new locations you may want to look into the "unique landscape" mods

 

Don't know much about texture enhancements, but Race balancing project (optionally included in Integration) includes dozens of new hair and eye options for character creation.

 

For more item diversity, try checking this list:

http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1167983-list-integrated-items/

it lists a bunch of mods that add items to the leveled list

 

For difficulty/combat I use Duke Patrick's mods.

Combat Archery

and

Melee Combat No Recoil

They have a large degree of strategy and authenticity that the more dramatic changes of Unnecessary Violence, and Deadly Reflex just can't match.

You could also try an immersion mod or two requiring eating/sleeping/drinking.

Chur, thanks bro.

[theuseless]

look up the toql by devakim on google. Also, for weapons, go for Bob's Armory, Armamentarium and Armory of the Silver Dragon. Get a mod manager and learn how to merge leveled lists. If you have already beaten oblivion numerous times, I would suggest Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul (ooo), but this can be complicated.

 

Great castles:

 

Seaview

Azure Palace (extends seaview well)

Almgard

many many more, like it was stated, look up mods on the nexus by download, endorsement or size (if your hard drive is big enough)
