Normalfags latching onto this game?

I've noticed they won't shut the fuck up about this lately and pretend they played it when it came out. Why are they like this?

its the contrarians choice

People thought Morrowind was cool when Oblivion was at the end of its generation
Now people think Oblivion is cool as Skyrim's at the end of it's generation.
In 7 years general consensus will be Skyrim has the Deepest Lore

I did play it when it came out. Lots of people did because the graphics were amazing for the time. And people often like the first game in the series they played. Which is the only reason anyone likes the pile of shit called Daggerfall.

>the graphics were amazing for the time
Everyone still slammed the bloom and the faces, even back then. But yeah, environmentally speaking it was gorgeous. Bit generic but gorgeous.
I wanna snuggle with Dar-Ma

Gotta say.
Oblivion with the Obscuro's Oblivion Overhaul mod is peak fucking scrolls.

i love seeing morrowfags seethe

Why are the overhaul mods for Oblivion legitimately great compared what Skyrim ended up with?

That's only because you suck at the game

Been wanting to fucking play this again. My actual childhood right here. Definitely played it to the bones when it first came out.

Anybody got a solution to the level scaling problem? It never really occurred to me when I was younger, but now that I'm aware of it, I'd like find an even better way to enjoy the game. Without efficient leveling or anything, that shit just really sucks the fun out of it.

Oblivion is the gateway Elder Scrolls.

There is always the final solution

it was a console blockbuster, everyone did play it

Wtf are you on about, neckbeard?

MODS

Elder Scrolls is good in general (maybe less so as the numbers get higher), but they all need mods to be considered acceptable.

Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul is what you need if you don't mind the extra content, or you can find a less cluttered mod like Scaling Unclustered or Better Leveling Lists

It's good your gay. *dabs*

Gotcha. I'll look into those last two, thanks

Realistic Leveling and Oblivion XP are fine enough leveling mods with a good degree of customization. The former raises attributes as skills raise, the latter is more like Fallout 3/NV leveling with full control over your skill/attribute allocation on a level up screen - but it's significantly more script intensive.

Oblivion is literally souless, I felt like it was trying to suck out mine. don't even get me started with those disgustingly horrible faces.

Wasn't it one of the first of the xbox 360 releases? thats how I got into it and I played it multiple times over back then

in fact shit loads of people played it, you probably expect that people didnt play it solely because you infact didnt

The potatoes face made this game age like shit atleast Morrowind have a nice artstyle

Zoomers realized sperging out about skyrim wasn't cool. Good thing they're too ADHD to bother with Morrowind.

This. I played it on release, expecting a successor to Morrowind. What I got felt like a bootleg.

Oblivion is peak Soulless Charm. I'm fond of it as a cultural item, something to observe and revisit like a movie, but it will never be a good game.

It's not some hidden gem that only a select group of insiders was allowed to play

gaming in general was still non-normie back then, though

It has the best quests, generally speaking.

>In 7 years general consensus will be Skyrim has the Deepest Lore
to be fair the lore is fairly deep, the interactable part of the lore is pretty shallow though

The vanilla leveling and scaling system is a pain but definitely playable. If you wanna play with the vanilla leveling system, there's easy ways to level every skill to get max attributes each level easily. Example of a decent level:

If you want end, dont' put heavy armor, block or armorer in major skills, and every level try to get hit by 2-3 crabs/rats with full heavy armor + heavy shield, until you have leveled them 10 times (not each) The crabs and rats you can always find outside and inside the imperial city sewer, no matter your level.

If you want strength, you can get the horse from the priory in the main quest and just hit him with your fists, with your sword or an axe. You can get max STR and END each level that way. You can put one of hand to hand,blade or blunt in major skill as long as you remember to level end skills before the level up symbol appears.

I then recommend putting 1 point in luck as the third option every level, so you don't need to worry about maxing out 3 different stats, and it will still help somewhat.

As for the enemies, after you reach a high level you can also get more powerful items and spells from quests, so you will want to level up BEFORE doing a lot of the quest content. But it still is better to control when you level up, so be sure to have 1 decent combat skill at high levels, so in the example I gave you could even just use hand to hand that you were leveling even though it will probably do shit damage.

As for magic, most of the schools you can level up near a bed and it's really easy. I recommend putting resto in major skills because otherwise it will level really slowly, and it will still level slowly even with regular use.

OR you could just install a mod, but I like talking about the leveling system.

they did play it, it was a massive success. one of the first games worth playing on the Xbox 360.

maybe they're noticing how it's like morrowind except better in every way

Morrowind is infinite times better. If Morrowind had some sort of map/coordinates for absolute retards like me who can't even navigate the real world without Google maps on at all time it would be my favorite rpg. Combat is a bit trash too but it doesn't have to be much better to be good enough

It's because of the la fave brothers and all of the oblivion npc dialogue meme videos

It's literally a normalflag game what are you on about? It was literally designed for consoles

It's a terrible text game that you old farts like because you played it in your prime.
