The Elder Scrolls

[rusty_shackleford]

I think I'll just play the original then. If anyone that's not red7 would happen to have a recommended list of mods I would very much appreciate it.

Give me an hour or two to write a script to export my download history from nexusmods

Not sure if serious but if so, no need to for me. Just if anyone happens to have a list to hand.

Can't guarantee I actually used all of these, but this was what I downloaded the last time I played(2019), mostly just utility stuff.

[rusty_shackleford]

Both changed too much where they shouldn't have, and yet didn't fix anything that should have been fixed

Leveling was a good fix even if it makes the game easier.

Mods have done it better for years.

[Steel-Knight]

I wish OpenMW was compatible with Oblivion and Skyrim, what's taking so long?!.

Apparently its at least partly because of multiple things that would probably require a ton of reverse engineering.

With Oblivion, Bethesda's RadiantAI is one of the reasons but they also used a lot of external proprietary software, such as "SpeedTree" for generating the vegetation in real-time as well as the "Havok" physics engine which is also proprietary. The game also uses an implementation of another proprietary software called "FaceGen" for the in-game faces.

Since they're primarily focused on adding onto/improving the Morrowind implementation further at the moment AFAIK, I have no idea when any reverse engineering for Oblivion's internal mechanics would begin.

[rusty_shackleford]

oblivion ported to openmw would be better than oblivion compatibility anyways

None that I've seen, too many rough edges.

Any reason to play TES IV remastered over the original TES IV with mods?

Pros:

This user has never laid a single hand on the remaster btw

Why are you recommending a bunch if cheat codes for a first playthrough? Might as well be playing the remaster

Thanks for confirming you lack any sort of experience to speak authoritatively on the topic!

Also based on your modlist you didn't play original Oblivion either btw

Played it long enough to see the artstyle was ruined and it runs like ****.

[rusty_shackleford]

Also based on your modlist you didn't play original Oblivion either btw

Were you even born when I first played it?

[Vergil]

I do think obviously the original should be played over the remaster for newcomers but your pro/con list reads like a person whose entire experience with the game is reading a thread on /v/.

I played it around release because Halo 3 wasn't out yet but my dad went ahead and got the 360

cons:
NO CONS I LOVE MEN!!!!!

When I go through the list I'll pick and choose anyway. I mainly want mods that make it not a buggy mess that crashes constantly.

don't think any of those mods are even close to cheats to begin with, would have to look over it again
just assume he posted without actually reading anything

[rusty_shackleford]

vergil looking at a mod that tracks which books you read

"i-is… is… is this cheating…?????"

[Roguey]

Rusty uses over 40 mods and then complains when the application keeps crashing.

I played it for 25 hours and only had one crash. Used a low single-digit number of mods.

Stop using wabbajack modlists. Using another man's modlist? Oh you're modding your game to another man's tastes? Might as well be gargling his balls while you're at it pull ya pants up *****

God forbid they wreck the generic high fantasy slop art style which only existed because Todd liked LOTR. The remake is better because combat isn't as horrible and they fixed the **** leveling system, just get a mod that fixes the drab filter and the censorship from the original and you have the definitive version of Oblivion

Objectively untrue statement, that spot goes to Reign of fire.

Also the remaster made marksman and hand to hand actually playable and fun by changing/overhauling the **** perk trees both had on the original so you have more functioning playstyles in your rpg
