Is there a mod to make the "Oblivion" part of Oblivion, with the gates and what not, fun/interesting/not annoying? Or is the trick just to never do anything with the main quest, ever?
Or any mods that fix my other issues with that game:
[On Oblivion]
BaconAngel: I'm still ticked that Oblivion and Fable both did not, in fact, turn out to be GTA with swords
or rather Grand Theft Horse
because that's really how I wanted those games to play out
I want to put a horse in a catapult, then get on the horse, get catapulted, do a horse flip in the air and maybe land it, but more likely see the horse break all its legs on impact
BaconAngel: I mean they could just take GTA and replace the car models with horses and that'd be good
they could still make car noises with the crashes, I don't care
James: hahah
get some "realistic" damage on the horses?
like, you bump the wall, your horse's face gets all fucked up?
BaconAngel: just replace the car names with like "Shadowfax"
yeah
or like a bumper flys off and you're like "what the fuck?"
BaconAngel: also you know what else sucked about Oblivion, it was supposed to be epic as shit and you're supposed to fight the hell (but not really lol) army or whatever but I've seen ren-fest battles involving more people at any given time
James: oh, i hated oblivion
BaconAngel: yeah it was overrated
I got to the last main story mission and I was like ffffffffff this
because I just didn't care
I wanted GTA with horses and swords...and sword horses
oh man how awesome would that be
you just strap a bunch of swords to a horse so it's like a motherfucking death porcupine and then you just send it out racing into the enemy lines
man they'd be all WHAT THE FUCKETHHHHHHHHHH
James: hahaha
For all that bitching it's pretty fun, I just....it could be more fun, I think.
The most dangerous enemies in oblivion are the goblins, after you reach about 25th level or so. They go from being scraggly little runts to being 8-foot tall trolls in silver armor using magic and high-grade weapons.
That was always my biggest problem with oblivion. All the coolest gear and magic abilities/enchantments were only available at higher levels, but in that game whenever you level up it's an arms race with the scaling enemies and unless you run a fucking spreadsheet for your character to boost your stats optimally you will end up losing.

man, you guys are doing it way wrong.
Just play like normal. If the enemies are starting to kick your ass, turn the difficulty down a notch or two. Things start getting easy? Turn it back up. Fuck, I don't know why people do all this planning and meta-gaming in order to avoid touching that fucking difficulty slider.
I usually keep the difficulty at 50%, but I spend the first 10-15 hours of the game only leveling up skills. I beat on the frozen people at that one shrine, then come into town wearing heavy armor, pickpocket some guard, and let them beat on me until my heavy armor levels up 10 times, rinse and repeat.
I do things like that until I'm maxed out, more or less, and then I build a suit of armor. I use clothing and enchant it with sigil stones (fire shield, frost shield, shock shield), which creates no-weight unbreakable armor with higher armor values than anything else in the game.
Go and grab a unique weapon or two, and then slide the difficulty all the way to max and start exploring.

what bugged me the most about oblivion was that they took everything that made Morrowind intersting or fun and threw it away. The environment was sterilized of its alien nature, there were no areas to accidently stumble into and get yourself killed. Even the rare artifact laying on a table in a dungeon has been replaced with the lowest grade knockoff. The game was changed in such a way that it took most of the fun out of exploration, one of the things that make a game like the Elder Scrolls series so interesting.

I've no idea... I just assumed that since my old Microsoft Word could be set up to save as often as every min. That photoshop could do something like that too.
To all you guys that are just about to go into the work force, save $100 from every check. By the end of the year you'll have $2,400 to blow on what ever you want.

i do this!
but the stuff i typically end up blowing it on = bills.
So, hey, Autodesk has a program for students that lets you download free software. Anyone who's a current student and wants a free 13-month trial of Maya, send me a PM with your email and I'll send you an invite.

There was something important here. It's gone now.
What it would look like if [someone with hair like Nick Jonas] got a mohawk?
Seriously, can anyone procure a picture (pictures?) of that?

I spent my whole weekend sanding a coat of stain from a piece of furniture.
It's now in my top ten list of things I don't reccommend you spend your weekend doing.

I have a bills payment plan, but sometimes I end up spending a little more than I was expecting and I need to funnel some money from my Travel Funds.

Travel is what I spend my savings on.
This was exactly what I've been trying to do for the last 3 years. But I only end up saving $100 every few months because I live very much paycheck to paycheck unfortunately.

lyrics are nonsense, but the music is a distillation of a certain kind of "badass"
No the point isn't that the Oblivion gates were difficult, Bethesda did their best to make sure that no part of the game ever feel like a challenge
The point is that they are dimensions of pure red and black boredom
And there was one every 5 feet and if you didn't kill them they would just keep throwing monsters at you

That's it. Drink the Kool-Aid.
I just kicked in my power button by mistake and I haven't saved any of this work in at least 2 hours

e: Found some photoshop temp files from about the same time I turned it off.
I guess those are scratch discs though and you can't recover files out of them.

Yeah, although its' not one of the games I want to play online.
Awesome game, though. Indiscriminately killing and skinning animals is one of my favorite activities.
It's awesome. Got it on Ps3. Recommend 100%.
...I can wash the pen off in the sink, and it won't stain the sink or anything yes?
Like a retirement savings plan!
