Why? Why does Oblivion just decide to crash to desktop despite me making no system changes and despite it being a completely fresh as the new fallen snow installation via Steam?

Oh well I suppose I can probably afford a few driver updates seeing as I just realized I haven't updated my video drivers since 2009.
The MCP just fixes some obvious bugs / oversight in the Morrowind code like the Unarmored skill not working unless you're wearing at least 1 piece of armor.

Question for clued in people smarter than me. I have both the boxed version of Oblivion and the GOTY edition I picked up through Steam when it was on for super cheap. Why does the GOTY edition not seem to have all the same nested folders within the Oblivion/data/ directory?
It seems a lot of texture and meshes which were there at one point, are now all stuffed into the .bsa files in the Oblivion directory. Does this affect my ability to apply mods? Is this why there needs to be some sort of validation run prior to seeing any change?
Actually Macro I've figured it out. I was assuming that because the folders were not present in the data directory originally, Oblivion would ignore them and go with the ones in the .bsa archives.
Reading this page and the section about Archive Invalidation has been very illuminating.

Annie found his copy of Morrowind + Expansions, so I installed that yesterday. Now to troll through the thread so I can find if there's any necessary mods I need.
No idea what character I want to play, kind of tired of playing magic characters so I wanna hit people with stuff I guess.
Sneaking is fun and all but you can't jump and sneak at the same time. Jumping everywhere with a high acrobatics skill is one of the best things about marrowund.
LulzSec, who have claimed responsibility for many of the gaming hacks of late, have announced they’ve had access to Bethesda/Zenimax’s data for a couple of months, and are planning on releasing details today. They’ve been winding up BethSoft all day, threatening to release details of a number of games, including Brink. However, in their usual way, they are suggesting they’ll go easy on them because “we love Call of Cthulhu.” They rather spuriously suggest this is motivated by a lack of details on Skyrim, but even if they received some, plan “to embarrass you anyway.”
As usual LulzSec’s Twitter feed is a mixture of taunting boasts and in-fighting with others in the community, but in the mix is the claim that they currently have over 200,000 users’ details. That’s the bit they suggest they might not leak because of the power of 2005′s Cthulhu game, co-published by Bethesda.
But for some reason the focus of their attack seems to be Brink. Yesterday they warned, “Say your prayers, Brink users.” Seemingly in response to protests from others who pointed out that there’s little argument for their being victims they explained, “If you want ethics, go cry to #Anonymous,” indicating their anarchic motivations are far less politically or socially driven than the Fawkesian crowd. “We did it because they couldn’t stop us,” is the reasoning.
They explain that they’ve had access to the Bethesda data for a couple of months, but seem to be waiting for a couple more details before they release it all. And then comes the threat just a few minutes ago that if Bethesda gives “everyone more info on Skyrim and we’ll keep the user database to ourselves. However we are going to embarrass you anyway. ” Then they push their teasing one step further suggesting, “Bethesda, add an official LulzSec top hat to Skyrim and we’ll remove your admin configurations from our incoming leak. Deal?”
It’s clearly an extremely unpleasant experience for those at Bethesda, and it’s a demonstration of what is behind these hacks: the lulz. Those trying to fathom a pattern, or guess what form of revenge or injustice is behind their motivations needs to understand that no such thing is relevant. It’s not even because it’s found to be funny, nor to prove hacking prowess (although that’s clearly a factor along the way). It’s because they can. Thus, lulz.
a group titling themselves lulzsec ought to be taken out and shot.
edit: that article seems confused. They are doing because they find it funny. As much as I hate it that...that is what lulz means. doing it for the lulz etymology lawls lols laughing out loud

I've met and seen some interesting people at PAX and otherwise, but I kinda would like to meet one of these people in person to see if they really are that socially crippled and obnoxious or to see if they're actually rampaging beasts of men capable of feats of athleticism and wonder. Those extremes are the only two options.
As assholish and immature as the hackers are, major corporations (especially in a technology related field) should have better fucking security than this.

oh morrowind, you're so quirky
