There is a questline when you ask people about rumors, they say something about strange notes in the imperial city, if you pursue these you see they are Mythic Dawn pamplets. Each one has a riddle (easy ones) and at the end you wear their robes, murder an innocent and a Dremora tells you, that you will be granted Dagons Boon (Armor and Weapons, along with Horse Armor which will be craftable by an orc dude)
This is just a ingame way of giving you the deluxe edition armor and weapons. Currently has the same stats as my previous armor.

If anyone can find the time and energy who has access to the remastered game, could you please make available the new ESM files.
I assume they're still named as they were, so even just oblivion.esm would be fine on its own.
It should be small enough to host anywhere (though I recommend HQVault here of course) as it should be somewhere about 265 megabytes or so.

Anyway after the years of modding I helped with, I can still directly read and understand the files just using a hex editor (unless the data format was changed too much, we'll see).

I want to see if any of the mistakes we found are still in there, especially the crappy Bethesda quest scripts we all rewrote. Plus also look at the leveled lists and some other stuff.

If anyone can provide these I would appreciate it. Thank you.
I'll check back later.

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
Reject your retarded-wing political programming and learn to think.
If you can.

Fog was used as a technical limitation in older games, I have no idea why newer games insist upon using it, especially to such a degree.
Have these people ever actually gone out to an area with rolling hills? There isn't a persistent layer of gas on everything.
It's not even just landscapes. Link's living room is pumped full of anti-soul gas.

What can I host?
Anything that does not violate US law. If I get a DMCA, I'll probably take down the related file as long as it's not a copyright troll.
Also, no pornography videos or obscene sexual content, see the forum rule if you need to understand what constitutes porn.

Then they should fix that instead of adding a layer of gas.

Pirating this out of curiosity but it actually just makes me want to play the original more.

With normies like him it is no wonder how Bethesda is able to get away with everything they do.

He's called act man because he's acting as though he's a man and not a sissified little **** caged slave (which he is).

Fog is the fix though depth of field is also useful.

If those mountains in the distance didn't have that blue tint the world would come across as the fakery it is.

It's not, it looks like gas. You've just tricked yourself into thinking that's what real life looks like.
The screenshot you posted looks nothing like what we're talking about, it actually does a much better job of approximating atmospheric scattering.

The hill just infront of the character here:

Is nearly as shrouded as the far, far back hills(mountains?) here:

Notice how the antisoul gas is uniform in nature, it doesn't increase on terrain further away(look at the peak in the top right that is much further behind the others — same level). Because it's just fog.

Umm guys, I'm starting to think that complaining about replacing male and female gender option with body type A/B is getting kind of stale. We're really arguing over a nothing burger here. None of the anti-woke crowd claimed that Elden Ring was some neo-Marxist manifesto just because it used body type A/B — it’s not on the same level as Baldur’s Gate 3, where it honestly feels like you're in Seattle with how Faerûn’s population acts completely indifferent to racial differences. Is it unnecessary and kind of pointless? Sure. But will I refuse to enjoy a game just because of that? No.

I watched the reveal and it looks good. I had it in my cart to buy, but then I had to search "Oblivion remastered woke" as I do with everything now.

Bs 'bodytypes' and a new companion pretending to be no gender.

I'll still play it but won't buy it. I'm gonna keep looking here for the mod that helps bring it back to biological reality, as nexus mods don't like reality and delete those good mods.

That is completely untrue and dishonest. It is NOT nothing. It represents something very big and important, the fact these idiots are trying to redefine reality with this nonsense.

If it's nothing big then why do they cry and lose their **** massively (you can see videos all over youtube) when someone tells them there's only 2 genders which is completely 1,000,000% true.

I brought Starfield and Dragons Dogma 2 that had this ****, but no longer am I going to support it. I can still enjoy the game unless it's caked into it in other places which I wouldn't be surprised, but i'll enjoy the pirated version.

Of course IT is an ugly blob of genderless jelly.

Oh ****, I didn't notice it's Elder Scrolls online, ok that's a relief atleast. I still half expect something in the remaster.

Though even if it's in Elder Scrolls online it shows the mentality of the company.
