I've never played Oblivion but all i see are screenshots for this city. Are there really not other interesting locations beside this one?

DESU the imperial city was my least favourite.

If there's one thing that Oblivion does well it's having /comfy/ towns. Especially when modded.

>>386339029
If it was a single fuckhuge city it would have been great.

>>386336614
For minmaxing a warrior, Redguard, otherwise I pretty much always roll Imperial. They feel like the jack of all trades that can be molded into whatever, plus they're pretty aestheic.

Don't get me wrong I really liked Oblivion and played the shit out of it. But the best? Are you one of those guys that simply couldn't play Morrowind because they hated the combat?

You are not. You BECOME the grand champion of Cyrodiil.

Morrowind could easily engross you in 300 hours of individual quests let alone the giant story line.

f-fug, sorry. At least he dropped a bigger backpack for me. Also got pranked pretty hard by a mimic.

>>386340943
The problem with a lot of RPGs is that they focus on vertical growth rather than horizontal growth. So the difference between a level 1 and level 100 character is enormous in terms of effectiveness even though they are both performing essentially identical actions. In a better system, that level 100 character would have more tools/abilities at his disposal and lethality remained to a degree such that it was valuable to employ them.

Nehrim is better

Kill yourself.

>>386338704
there's really nothing standout or interesting about the game at all, it's just adequate

>>386341590
Did you seriously just tell someone to commit suicide because they used a single word you don't like?
What is wrong with you?

>>386342071
Different anon, but you should probably kill yourself too.

>>386340878
Morrowind is great but to be honest almost half of the main quest is "travel literally everywhere and talk to literally everyone"

>>386342135
What compels people to say things like that to strangers?

>>386340674
My issue with Morrowind isn't the combat, in fact it's an issue that can be leveled at Oblivion and even to a lesser extent Skyrim as well, my issue is NPC's just seem to do...nothing. In oblivion sure they didn't do much either but it felt like more of them wandered a bit more, and in Skyrim they actually interacted with the world a bit and with a mod like Immersive Citizen's they actually behave pretty decently.

Granted the point is kind of moot now a days since Morrowind has mods for that that both adds more NPC's doing things and/or makes the ones in the game interact with the world and do a bit more, and shit like Silt Riders actually moving around on the roads. Points also a bit moot when I love both.

what's your best ENB? I was trying Cyrodiil ENB but it breaks my game and it thinks I have a GeForce 9600GT installed somehow

>>386341286
That's what Skyrim's perk system, and various perk mods, try to do. Oblivion had some of that as well, like when you got new weapon attacks at certain skill milestones or could move at full speed in heavy armor once your heavy armor skill was high enough.

>>386344508
whatever. the author fucked up the enseries.ini file. I fixed it setting ForceNVidiaCard=false

>>386342225
They want them to kill themselves

>>386344703
Skyrim's perks are still too focused on generic damage increases/reductions. And the general level system still involves inflating your primary stat pools as much as possible. The difference between a level 1 and level 50 character is still immense. The former can't hope to defeat the latter.

Games like Deus Ex do a better job of increasing utility as you level rather than simply making all your attacks do exponentially more damage. You're largely as vulnerable to enemies as you were at the beginning of the game. Your improved abilities simply give you more options in dealing with more difficult encounters.

>>386344703
Skyrim has some interesting perks, but they're in the minority. Most of the perks are just 20/40/60/80/100% increased efficiency with weapon type X or spell type Y.

>>386334779
Well, to be honest I should try it on PC with mods one of these days.
Is there some kind of Megamod like whats available for morrowind ?

awful graphics. try playing this game again. your hardon for this game is based purely on nostalgia

>>386346734
My hardon for this game has literally nothing to do with the graphics.

>>386346538
I want to know this aswell

>>386346538
There's some sort of downloadable FCOM

Modded Oblivion looks alright senpai, good enough to enjoy.

And contrary to popular belief from plebs who don't know how to properly mod, performance can be kept smooth enough as well.

>>386346538
The ones I know are Oscaro's Oblivion Overhaul and Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul (which happened to be compatible). Supposedly there's also FCOM but I don't know what the abbreviation stands for. Realistic Leveling does away with the awful leveling system, provided that you get something like OOO that also does away with scaled mobs.

>>386347383
mods do not count

Is there a quick setup guide for plebs?

Utter bollocks, why the fuck would ANYBODY play TES games without mods when theyre so easily available? the entire point of the series is to mod them to your taste.
