...and added a few more.

...and added a few more.

Nothing that's very repetative like in Oblivion. Occasionally they'll be a graphics issue, but it's fairly rare. The things I found annoying in Oblivion were a lot more frequent, or more difficult to fix. Like basically the same 4 voices used for every single character in the game.

Seventeen...but whose counting?


Oblivion has been around for a while and most issues common to the original release are no longer an issue. Many larger mods now come with their own voice actors. But, the future is indeed the PC version of Skyrim. But, there is no Construction Set yet and none of the fancy relationship mods that took SIX YEARS to develop for Oblivion. It's like Data without the emotion chips...lol.

Plus you'll always have Lynda Carter in these things as she's hitched to Bethesda CEO, Robert Altman.

Nice, I didn't know that!

Don't get me wrong, I love Oblivion. I played the hell out of it, up until a few weeks ago!

Heck, I still think Morrowind is a hell of a ride. There's graphic mods for it that bring it up to Oblivion standards.



I'm part of the mod community over at LL...we are getting requests for those various relationship mods in Skyrim pronto...but, at the moment we can just shrug our shoulders and say 'sorry...do you have a few years to wait??'

When can I get a mod that fixes mouse movement/delay/lag issues in Skyrim on the PC? I was excited to try it out, but the mouse movement issues make the game completely unplayable, and the .ini file settings changes people talk about on forums only help slightly, but not enough to make it playable. It's too bad, cause it has great graphics and is set in one of my favorite settings (loosely based on Nordic culture/mythology).

IIRC, both Oblivion and Skyrim use a scripting system based on FPS...the more powerful the computer the better it behaves. You might look into the 4GB RAM patch to boost processing.

Personally I prefer bioware style games over bethesda even though the bethesda have better graphics because the bethesda leveling system is extremely annoying (in oblivion was the worst - skyrim fixes some of the problems).

That 'Old Republic' looks interesting...seen a few ads.

I replaced the vanilla Oblivion's leveling system quite some time ago. There's dozens of leveling mods of different stripes available now.

Bonam, one way you might be able to figure out if you have a bottleneck is to get into the console commands.

Try hitting the ~ key then typing tlb (toggle light bright)...this should remove all the fancy shaders and shadows...if your mouse issue goes away, you've found the problem.

The PC version of Oblivion with both the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Islands? If so, you have one of the best programs for adding literally thousands of great adventures...EVER. If you have the console version...oh, well...out o' luck...lol.

Remember, Oblivion shipped with a stunted .exe in order to get a better rating (was Adult...now Mature, I think). The Nerd-Gnomes cracked that quite some time ago.

With that, Oblivion regains its intended functionality. Most detailed add-ons need it.

Skyrim is at least 6 years from getting to the level of development that Oblivion has reached.

Yeah, I got it for PC.
I use consoles things like racing games, adventure (simple) games, quick/fast games. Nothing complex.

PC for games that have any depth in story or required control ability. RPG's, RTS, FPS, MMO's (even though I haven't played an mmo in forever)

Thanks for the links. I had downloaded OOO and installed it but then I read suggestions to play vanilla first and figure out what I wanted to change to make the experience better. So I installed a bunch of graphics updates, functionality improvements and am going to play through vanilla first.

My computer isn't top of the line or anything. So I prefer being able to play slightly older games at high graphics/resolution settings, they way they were meant to be played. In TES games, you can win by using obstacles to jump away/use the environment to your advantage and any lag can screw up what would have been a perfect manoeuvre.

I think this applies in this thread.
