I can't wait to see how Microsoft tries to sell mods on the 360 version of Skyrim (Bethesda said something like they were interested in bringing mods to consoles.....somehow).

Nah, they said they want to get mods on consoles. Pretty important distinction.

I got Oblivion at the steam sale and haven't played it yet (Deus ex first, given human revolution is released before skyrim), any recommendations for mods?
Click to expand...
I believe I can help you with that.

*cracks knuckles*

Oblivion Mod Manager [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2097] - Helps you sort out mods, and is much better then the standard one the launcher uses.

Oblivion Script Extender [http://obse.silverlock.org/] - Greatly expands what Oblivion is capable of. Required for more of the interesting mods.

Unofficial Oblivion Patch [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5296] - Fixes so many small bugs in Oblivion its not even funny. I'd say its the only "required" one if you want an enjoyable experience.

Also if you got Shivering Isles, I recommend the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10739]. Does what the normal one does, only in Shivering Isles. I also recommend the Unofficial Official mods patch [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9969] that fixes issues with the official DLC. That is if you have any.

Natural Environments [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2536] - Adds much more to the ambiance of the world.

Midas Magic [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9562] - Makes magic so much more fun. Adds lots of awesome spells. Including the ability to summon an Atronarch made of watermelons.

Deadly Reflex [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8273] - Makes Combat much more intense. Requires the Oblivion Script Extender. And there's a saying among the community. Once you go Deadly Reflex, you can't go back.

Unique Landscapes Compilation [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19370] - Greatly diversifies the landscape of Oblivion. This is a compilation of all the separate mods that change things, making it one easy install using the Oblivion Mod Manager.

Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15256] - Overhauls the game adding shit-tons of new monsters, quests, NPC's, fixes for various things(including the leveling system) and much, much more. I can't play Oblivion without 3 mods. This is one of them. The Unofficial patch is the other, and BTmod is the other(more on this later).

Reneer's Guard Overhaul [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5977] - Overhauls the guards. Makes them less psychic and makes the guards much less, well annoying.

ImpeREAL City [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19589] - Makes the districts of the Imperial City more unique and interesting.

BTMod [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1825] - Greatly improves the inventory system. This is the third mod that I consider "required". It really, really helps when you have a lot of stuff in your inventory. See the screenshot on the downloads page(click images, then user uploaded images).

LowPoly Grass [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5434] - Reduces the polygon count of grass. Resulting in much, much better performance. And no, there is not a noticeable visual difference.

And that concludes the mods I feel are needed for a greatly improved experience, now for some of my favorite mods that add new things like quests and stuff.

Loading Screen Quotes [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5890] - Adds quotes from famous people to the loading screens. It replaces the boring tips that normally appear.

Better Letters [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5392] - Replaces the generic letters and notes you find everywhere with more interesting and funny ones.

Akatosh Mount [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10819] - Adds a ridable Dragon. 'Nuff said.

The Lost Spires [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12997] - This mod is so good, it got the creator hired by a game company.

Lost Paladin of the Divines [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=10505] - Adds a quest for a new set of armor for "good-guy" characters. Plus I helped test it, so yeah.

The Pirate Isles [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28290] - Great for any Pirate enthusiast. Lets you become a pirate captain, build your crew, and attack ships at sea.

Colored Map [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2308] - Color's the map. Making it more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Elsweyr Anequina [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25023] - Adds the province of Elsweyr to the game complete with new cities, quests, landscapes, ect. You'll have to download from the mirror sites though(click "mirrors" then the link). I also suggest perusing the add-on mods for it which are in the description page. Also, if you decide to use the colored map above, I greatly recommend the Colored Elsweyr [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25150] add-on.

And that should be good for now. I suggest browsing the Top 100 [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/top/alltime.php?adult=2] list for anything that catches your fancy(should probably set it for "non-adult" if you want to avoid the more... "sexy" stuff). I also suggest just looking through the Nexus in general. Choose a category and just browse. There are plenty of other mods I haven't mentioned that are just awesome. Like Malevolent [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=17781], which adds a sentient suit of armor and a multi-branching quest-line.

But as said above, best thing to do is play it mod-less by yourself for a bit and see what you like/don't like, and go from there. But some I do recommend no matter what are the unofficial patches and the low-poly grass. Low-poly grass especially for how much it does for performance. Why Bethesda put 24 polygons on EVERY BLADE OF GRASS I'll never know. Especially when the mod reduces that to 4 with no visual hit and a huge performance boost.

Assuming you have a PC and not a laptop, it's pretty easy to upgrade your PC to play games. To play Oblivion . . . $80 max. To play anything . . . $120 max. Won't have the highest resolution settings or anything, but it won't look too bad.

"He will be the new Daedric Prince of Madness"


I would actually very much support this as their next in-joke! Im sure you could make a respectable prince out of him... but he MUST have a fish sword.
Or a Blunderbass.

What is totally crazy is that is the exact song I thought in my mind when I thought of swimming through the air on Oblivion.

Wow, that was awesome! It seems strangely fitting to do this sort of thing in Oblivion, actually. The whole bloody game is in dire need of some psychotic entertainment.

YES.

I found this yesterday, and it is easily the best single machinima I've seen in quite some time.

I am not a huge fan of Oscuros, I dont particularly like the amount of changes that was done in the difficulty level. I think he went excessive. Vanilla is too easy but then he makes it the oppositea nd can be too difficult or in my case too annoying. so I suggest also getting a companion mod. especialy if you get Oscuros Oblivion Overhaul. they help even it out and make great pack mules because they dont get over encumbered.

Eh, different strokes. There's quite a few other mods that change up difficulty, so it shouldn't be too hard to find what you need.

As for companions, I suggest Vilja [http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=28977]. One of the best companion mods I'd say.

What I would like to know is what he did to make the NPCs react to the weird things he did.

And the spongebob song makes everything better.
