End of a warm summer day
i've played so much oblivion even just looking at this image makes me bored
Remember going around the wilderness just hoping for a random quest?
I found anvil very calming, even if it was haunted and had man hating dick traps
Never played Oblivion before, what mods do I need to enjoy it?
what was the point of giving level requirements for quests if they just scale everything to your level everywhere anyway
>not a single worry in the world
Except the daedric cults trying to take over the world every saturday and local wizards going mad every wednesday
>not a worry in the world
Lmao how delusional
If you were living in their world you would need some sort of occupation and responsibility in order to survive just like this one, except now you have to worry about the possibility of being tortured by dremora or eaten by a troll.
trust me bros I got like 80 int I'll be a wizard and fuck people up
I installed oblivion awhile back and I kept going into dungeon after dungeon, for hours, all morning, looking for cool stuff to find and all I got was a few septims and some cabbages.
Then I tried to just get lost and explore and all I came across was daedra shrines that left me disappointed because I wasn't high enough level to do anything.
So then I ignored everything and searched for towns and all I did was run back and forth between two npcs and their pathetic dialog and for the grand finale of all my efforts I got to press 'T' and wait for an npc who then walked to another and yelled at them or something and it was over. I don't remember getting shit and I was bored out of my mind.
Best part of these TES games must be the modding and lore and not the game itself. The gameplay doesn't hold a candle to the joy of reading a mod's readme file while you contemplate installing it and all of the shit or promises to fix and give you in-game.
TES is a pipe dream.
Or you should play Morrowind instead of Shitblivion
Worst leveling system in gaming history

Even if you do, just pray at the altar and Dibella will cure it for you.

Yeah, a *male* dremora. I'm not sure that female dremora are confirmed to exist.
Just summon a golden saint

Just reload the save and tcl to the top, nobody will judge you.
no
Never mind the fact that the world is at a fucking medieval level of technology.
Sure you can offset a lot if you have magic, but if you're just a worthless peasant shits not any better.

Pathetic.

Unacceptable.
I want to beat the 3D trilogy the legit way. I already feel ashamed, when I had to tgm my way trough the ending of Bloodmoon expac in Morrowind, but I only did that because I had no other option, and the werewolves were too fucking strong for me.
I thought the 'Turn Undead' spells turned people into zombies when I was younger.
>legit
So you'll abandon a save if you get stuck on a rock or something? These games are unstable as fuck, it's a good thing your autosave didn't get corrupted.
>not saving every 5 minutes
Teleporting through something you already did is a hell of a lot better than cheating because morrowind of all things was too hard for you.
I'm ashamed to share a board with scum like this.
I don't blame you. I always thought the wording of that spell was weird. It should be called Repulse Undead or something.
I liked oblivion because being an assassin was about being a serial killer and not some hypocritical moral fag.
Also being a lone agent in the wild and killing high profile targets like some sleeper agent was wild, I wish they do something like that again.
I wish I was living in Azeroth instead.
Tamriel is boring compared to Warcraft universe.
The interesting lore of Tamriel isn't shown properly in games too.
Are those werewolves really that hard? I'm taking a break from Morrowind right now after beating the main quest and Tribunal, and about half of Bloodmoon
For me, they were tanky as fuck and were dealing a fuck ton of damage
But if you're abusing the alchemy system, then it should be a easy at least I think so
You can theoretically sneak away from them if you're know what you're doing and using the right spells like "Detect animal" and "Chameleon"
how do you even die in morrowind lol just enchant an amulet with a giant explosion spell that kills everything in one to two hits and then wait until it recharges on its own if it starts to get low and you couldn't be assed to get any soul gems
I got so bored and annoyed by oblivion gates i eventually would just no-clip to the top of each sigil tower to end it.
>100% chameleon never again because Todd hates fun
I died before cause dwemer spheres and the dart gang guys in Tribunal caught me offguard
just pay your fine and go to any of the churches to be absolved of sins
what are the essential mods this days?
just go outside lol
outside is for niggers
modding is daedric, repent.
Aren't there radiant assassination quests in Skyrim?
Every playthrough of Oblivion has one mountain lion encounter when you really aren’t prepared for it.
They’re so fucking fast and hit like a truck at low levels. All of a sudden, there’s one up your ass before you even knew it was there.
Mountain lions don't spawn at low levels.
That would be radical.
Currently doing a playthrough as a Breton assassin who augments himself with illusion magic and alchemy. My starsign is the Atronach, maximum magicka points and spells bounce off me like nothing, also the need to prepare potions to restore magicka adds in a preparation requirement when I engage an Oblivion gate or dungeon, which is fun.
By low levels, I meant the lowest level they can spawn. If memory serves, it was about 13
I want to share my Oblivion story. I've played Oblivion for about 250 hours, and yesterday I had the most ridiculous experience I've ever had in any video game, period.

Has there ever been a mod that properly fixes the leveling system? I think they meant for the difficulty to stay the same throughout the game, but the game actually gets harder. This is all because your(and enemies) damage output caps out around level 30.
>Panicking, I run back in through the portal (should have gone to first Isles town, I know, but I forgot about it)
>Back in Cyrodil, I'm not in combat again (thank God), but I can't fast-travel either

>Repeat this process about five times for each of them (since they had healing potions)
>Can finally rest and wait out the day
The time between me killing the guy in the Imperial City and resting in the Church was about two hours. People like to talk about how buggy Morrowind is, but Morrowind has NEVER fucked me over this bad. People told me the guards in this game were insane, but I didn't think they'd be insane enough to come back from the dead, hide their own NPC ID, and detect me through Oblivion Gates and portals to Daedric realms.
This was much less entertaining than I hoped it would be
>This is all because your(and enemies) damage output caps out around level 30.
Your damage caps when you reach max relevant stats. Level has nothing to do with it. What causes the problems is that after around level 30 enemies stop having preset health and start having health scaled directly against your level. It's trivial to fix that and there's plenty of mods that do.
all of them
any mods you recommend? I feel like replaying.
not true, i could level while sleeping just by keeping buttons pressed.
I like how Oblivion has believably similar terrain zones for the map size. Skyrim and BotW, which is still a far, far better game, feel comical with their distinct sudden jungle every 500 metres. That region west of Lurelin village, in BotW, should have been a bog or a graveyard. That being said, the reality Oblivion gains from this is completely lost from the Imperial City, this world's supposed Rome equivalent, being 20 buildings and a big wall. It should have been destroyed in the opening instead of Kvatch, with you only getting brief glimpses of the chaos above as you fight through the sewers.
Imagine saying this much and yet so little
I've never really bothered with any level scaling mods. I just stop leveling up my character before I reach the point where it becomes an issue. If there's nothing to be gained by leveling up then there's no reason to level up. Unless you want to max every attribute, which is pointless unless you want to min max every class with a single character, there's zero point in leveling up to anywhere even close to the level cap in the game.
shut the fuck up nigger
haha i said nigger u mad bro u mad nothing you can do about it seething incel FUCK YOU
Okay, now you've done it.
Now I'm going to say the n-word
Seething
Frencescos is supposedly pretty good at fixing the scaling.
he just had to share this story with someone, and given his complete social isolation he decided to burden us with it, don't take it personally user
go outside incel
>use mod that allows different starting locations
>completely disables the main quest so you don't have to be a hero, emperor lives, no oblivion gates etc
>ooo/moo to get rid of the world scaling and expand upon most things in the game
>free to be my own character and do what I want, just going on my own adventures
This produced one of the comfiest gaming experiences for me
I appreciate comments like these, now I don't feel I have to read it. Thank you
