If you do try to use OOO, remember it conflicts with a bunch of mods, including many of the ones posted earlier in this thread. You can use a conflict detector to figure out if all your mods work nicely together or not. Combat Behavior (one I posted earlier in this thread) is included in OOO now, so you can turn that one off if you check OOO out.

Finally, Bethesda's second official mod, The Orrery has been released. Costs $1.89 for PC users, $2 for 360 users (I think). Apparently it adds a 15 minute Fed-ex quest, and then you get a room added to the Mage Guild Arch Mage tower that gives your character special powers based on the current phases of the moons.

I think I'll wait until they release sixty or so of these "official mods" in a combo pack for $10 or something.

I'd rather they work on a patch to keep the game from crashing to desktop randomly on me. And occasionally locking when regaining focus.

Do you have dvd x copy or matroska codec pack installed?

Neg on first and yes on second. I'm hoping FFDshow was somehow related because I just disassociated that from Obliv. but I haven't played much since I did it. And it wasn't a frequent crash. A couple times, but always in an Oblivion gate it seemed when I didn't have a recent save.

Needless to say, he was one of the most difficult enemies I've fought since I bought this game.

Need to goof around with the mod some more before I really pass judgement on it though. Apparently there's problems with respawns because in a previous version of the mod, the creator goofed around with timescales and such, so stuff doesn't respawn/spawn like it should.

Reptile had this to say about John Romero:
Can someone tell me where I can buy/find the levitate spell?

They removed it due to the MASSIVE graphical intensity of what you would see if flying. And all the citys are seperate areas so if you left them youd end up in nowhere land.

That, and in Morrowind, Levitate was overpowered, allowing you to fly anywhere you wanted to without worrying about terrain. Oblivion doesn't have problems with terrain as is, so levitate isn't needed. Also, perma-levitate allows you to hover above the heads of melee only combatants, meaning only enemies with ranged weapons pose a threat.

In WoW, I found a way to climb the mountains south of the Troll village by the giant turtles (I forget the name), and ended up in a featurless grey landscape with no textures overlooking Plaguelands, I think it was. Scary.

I spent a good hour trying to figure out a way into Sithilus from Feralas back in the beta. Never could find it.

There used to be tons of those places in WoW. You could climb a wall and get to messed up areas or places you could see on flights, but not walk to normally. I bet they've closed them all by now though. Playing the explorer was fun though.

They definately havn't closed all of the odd areas like this. Best way to find access to a number of "strange areas" these days is to swim past the normal map, then look for places to climb onto the land again. All sorts of wierd places you can get to doing this if you have a LOT of patience, like the flat, weird textured land up above the Eastern Plaguelands, the plague style shack behind stormwind, etc.

ACES! Another post by Fazum'Zen Fastfist:
I am too lazy to play this game now that you can't easily sell stolen items/con people/train a million times.

Join the thieves guild, dunno what you mean by conning people, and there are mods to increase the training limit.

Better than Morrowind, I hope? That sucked: "Thanks, here's a ring that wouldn't have been interesting 15 levels ago."

...and I'm a Blunt fighter. :D

Eh, I'm still wearing it. With the Chorrol shield, I'm reflecting over half the damage I take back to my turd-ass enemies.

Reflect damage is one of those hard things to find. But it's so overpowered it's not even funny.

Spell reflection is too, but only against mages and ghosts and crap.

Enemies flick me and die. It gets boring though.

Then I'll use the dupe bug to dupe cabbages midair, and I will leave a CONTRAIL OF CABBAGES then I'll shout out loud in my room "CHEMTRAILS ARE REAL!!!!!!!!!"

So quoth Asha'man:
My personal overpowered abuse is Camouflage. I have armor that gives me about 75% camouflage, which I pair up with some potions of my making to total 100%. Stuff just doesn't see me, so I walk up and sneak hand-to-hand them to death.

---

I tend to overuse Camo too. With a couple pieces of armour and jewelry, I've got 100% camo. For Oblivion Gates, if I just want the Sigil stone, and I don't want to collect all their armour and weapons to sell, I just ignore everyone and run right to the stone and take it. Noone notices me at all.

I use invisibility way too much. Good for snagging sigil stones though.

I hate them moreso for the life drain than the stat damage. I have a plethora of alchemy shit so I can brew anything I need in regards to restoring stats.

Don't think so.
