Down's Syndrome and psychic guards.

The best Elder Scrolls game and one of the greatest games of all time.

An antiquated RPG

Level scaling out the ass
Completely generic, uninteresting and samey environments

>>376386187

>dumbest application of level scaling ever
>best

>>376385963
A leveling system so insanely disgusting that you will want to wish great and terrible physical and mental harm upon those who thought of such a terrible system.

>Tamriel went from fantastic landscapes to generic medieval Europe

How much do mods actually improve Oblivion?

I can get it on PC, but I already have it on console.

>>376386257

Mods, if you are even willing to put a little bit of effort into it, increase the quality so much it's not even fucking funny. Some of the larger overhauls, or getting a lot of mods, can make modding a pain in the ass, especially graphically. But when you are getting a small amount it usually isn't difficult, and aside from graphics they are usually not problems mixing them, and there are so many that improve the quality immensely.

You might not be able to appreciate it as much if you've never played without mods but I would always recommend some. Which ones depend on what type of experience you want. All TES games are good and worth playing with mods, it's a shame to play without them. Pirate if you don't want to shell out money but just never play a TES game on a console, ever, coming from someone who originally did.

Worse gameplay than Morrowind.

Worse visuals than Skyrim.

Literally why, OP.

Have you heard of the high elves?

>>376385963

Worst AAA game of all time.

It depends, there's a lot of people here who will tell you the game is unplayable without mods but that's because a lot of people don't even play these games vanilla in the first place, they download mods before the game has even finished installing.

I played it for about 4 years on an Xbox and I greatly enjoyed it, and it was actually the only game I played for that time. It completely curbed my interest in other games. Afterwards I got it on PC and while mods can add a lot of good shit it can also overcomplicate things so these days I exclusively use only UI and environmental improvements with a few "immersion" mods like having the need to eat, sleep etc.

But imo by no means are mods necessary to enjoy the game.

>>376385963
SHIT

>>376386319

There's mods that fix the heinous faces, and the level scaling. The unofficial patches are also necessary because Bethesda games are buggy as shit, and always will be.

Anything after that is up to you. Personally, I'm not a fan of the vanilla bodies or textures.

He's right but I still like it

>>376385963
this is one of those games which was optimized to run better on the 360 than it was on pc's of that time.

Oblivion is a good entry level, but may I recomend either the Skyrim: Special Edition with the Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn expansions or even better, a subscrition to the Elder Scrills Online for the full Elder Scrolls experience?

I actually re-installed the game but then realized that I never played the game with mods, just vanilla and one time using the console to type commands.

Anyone know any must have mods? be it for level scaling or environmental or whatever?

>>376386319
It's not about mods, you retard. It's about console. These games are a broken buggy mess,

>>376389363
You fucking pleb, Todd would never shill ESO. It's a direct competition to his games.
