Retired from oblivion for skyrim?

[GrimReaper]

Now let's think of some 'improvements' that will make you throw the game away.

* Hard-coded anti-nudity shadows (think Fallout3)

 

 

Do you have a source for that? I don't remember anything like that, as soon as the stuff for blender that allowed you to import and export stuff from Fallout 3 was released you saw the first nudity mods pop up on the nexus.

[Dee383]

Nope.

Moded Oblivion will still be 100x better than vanilla Skyrim.

Gonna beat it and wait till mods start to show up.

In the meantime gonna do some more translations & play other games.

 

Hell Yeah ...

I Always Find Whatever Game Ive Bought I Play It For A Few

I Havent Heard Of Any Certain Storyline Like Oblivion Has ..

According to X-fire, I've only put in 377 hours in Oblivion, which doesn't count the amount of time I played off of X-fire, which was a lot, until I discovered an alt+tab crash fix that actually worked. X-fire, for whatever reason, asserts itself in the game weirdly. I have to alt tab once while I'm ingame, otherwise it'll minimize randomly, and before I got the crash fix, I couldn't maximize the window without it crashing.

 

Hopefully the mod scene kicks up relatively fast like it did for NV.

The 'source' is the fact that it is in Fallout3. (Certain 'races'' date=' as you discover quite quickly if you mess up clothing assignment in the CS).

 

By extension, it [i']could[/i] be in Skyrin, would save Beth a lot of grief, so I bet I sales-droid suggested it. We'll have to see if it is in. It's clearly marked as speculation to counter the gushing! (grin).

 

I very much hope it's not so, but it is very doable.

Is height adjustment on character generation in Skyrim? I saw a creation video somewhere, but A) too lazy to look, and Don't think I saw a height bar.

I think it's funny, that Bethesda doesn't want any nudity. In the words of M'aiq the Liar: "It is good the people wear clothing. M'aiq wears clothing. Who would want to see M'aiq naked? Sick, sick people. Very sad."

 

I hope there won't be to many people making new bodies since it should be possible to make one adjustable with bbb to fit all needs. The plenty of different clothings for different bodytypes are pretty annoying.

I would hope that with all the clutter in the mod community that has sprung up in Oblivion that people will learn to try to keep things streamlined in Skyrim but I doubt that will be the case. With all the different modders out there who created their mods for Oblivion, those mods are their babies. Even if other mods do the same thing in a better way they'll still make their mod over again for Skyrim because its what they want and they like. With all the body mods out there and the wide range of tastes that everyone has, I doubt we will be able to only expect a handful or just one body mod.

 

On the plus side, the people who make clothes and armour seem to know which versions of their stuff is more popular so they will more than likely make more mods for those bodies thus making the less popular body types obsolete.

To be fairly honest, telling yourself 'sequels sucks' and 'sticking to the modded stuff because vanilla is bland' is a bit cynical on your part really. You can only look through your rose-tinted glasses for so long until someone has to tell you to wake up and smell the ashes. It's a dose of real life and nothing will change that.

 

Back to the topic, I'll be interested to see how this pans out. I can handle the vanilla as long as the mod tools starts coming out. If I do lose interest, I still have several mods to complete for New Vegas so that's enough time to finish it and be ready for the first mods for Skyrim.

the website does say that besides dragons and unrest in skyrim an old evil is arising, i believe.

maybe a god or something..

[AC2]

no. I just started modding for oblivion for 4 months so until i cant actually get Skyrim( when it has mod tool ect) which wont be until next year ..will be stuck with oblivion and other games to keep busy. besides i am buying new desktop in febuary to play it : D

[pandabear]

I'll still play Oblivion, but only for some of the unique mods. If I in February want to play a tes game again, I'll fire up Skyrim.

Symon:

 

The game isn't even out yet and you're giving it poor reviews. I've been lurking in the Skyrim forum for awhile and I've never seen you say a single good thing about it. Instead' date=' you jump on many of the threads, raining happily on any parades that form.

 

Of course the game might suck. There's nothing wrong with not buying into Bethesda's hype. But why are you so personally invested in this sequel being bad? It's weird.

+1

 

Has the sounds of someone who is more jaded that either they won't be able to play it when it gets released or someone who's heart broken about some of the mods that have been growing in number recently where their creators are preparing more for Skyrim than completing their current works.

 

The thing that has me confident is that Bethesda has shown that compared to many other game publishers, that they follow, support, and take inspiration from the mod community. Looking at the last dlc for FONV, I kept chuckling every time I saw the game including something that I saw created in a fan mod.

 

Steam now encrypts their files in such a way that makes it difficult to mod them apparently, but Skyrim isn't using this format at what appears to be the preference of Bethesda - for not using the format will allow a script extended to now be developed.

 

To me, Oblivion is weaker than Daggerfall and Morrowind, so there is a chance that Skyrim may falter, but I like what I've seen and heard so far from those who have had early review access, so I'm not getting any sleep tonight.

 

That said, I'll be keeping Oblivion installed to run through CLS when it is completed.
