    Oblvion is downloading. Are there any recommended mods I should get? (Mainly stuff like better UI and maybe graphical upgrades)

    Just forget about Oblivion, game sucks. Install it then install http://www.nehrim.de

    Play that. 10x better. Course they are speaking in german moonbabble but thats what subtitles are for.

    I believe it actually got an English release somewhat recently. Should be around the website.

    Yeah I could see it being a daily deal. Even if not, no harm in waiting till the end ^

    I think I am going to skip Recettear yet again. As interesting as it sounds, 5$ is sadly a lot right now, even more so with it only being day 1 of the sale. I will resist the Newell

    Yes, it did. Doesn't change the fact that there's no English voices.

    Oblivion does not suck, although Nehrim is nice if you want a more linear, cinematic questline experience as opposed to a medieval fantasy fuck-around-and-have-random-adventures simulator, which is where Oblivion is at its best.

    That falls under the purview of the main questline, not random fucking around, so it's not even relevant to what I said. It's true that Morrowind probably has a more interesting main quest. But Oblivion betters it in some other areas. And no, I am not going to have a Morrowind-vs-Oblivion pissing match with you, the internet doesn't need another one.

    Oblivion is a steal at today's price.

    I downloaded Nehrim some time ago but never installed it; does it run as a separate game from Oblivion, or is it a mod that you open up within the main game?

    I've been trying to get FCOM to install with this all-in-one link that you can find around with Google, but I've never been able to do it successfully.

    When using OMM to install mods that are supposed to "work together", are you supposed to overwrite the files when installing the next mod (such as textures and such), or always keep them installed separately? This also applies to updates of mods.

    If you have Oblivion on steam, you unfortunately need to copy the files directly into your steam install. If its a disc based install or whatever you can make a seperate folder.

    after that you just unload all the normal data files and only load the Nehrim ones and run it like normal, and its gravy.

    Yes, unfortunately having the Steam version of Oblivion makes having parallel Oblivion and Nehrim installs coexist problematic, which is part of the reason I didn't keep Nehrim long enough to finish it.
    Hang on, so OMM doesn't work with Steam Oblivion?


    No, it totally does. Nehrim is much more extensive than any mod you would use OMM for. The issues with trying to have it and SteamOblivion installed at the same time are more arcane.
