Is it as good as I remember it?

No, you tell me
Dusted off my copy last week. Having fun, but the difficulty gets a little wonky fast after you level up into the teens
The side quests are mostly shit, and exploration sucks because the same cave is always reused.
However the main story, dark brotherhood and thieves guild are pretty good. Also a few side quests stand out as being good, for example the one where you're on the boat and it gets hijacked. Shivering isles is solid too
So if you're looking at it through nostalgia goggles then it probably isn't as good as you remember, but still an overall solid game
how about you tell me?
With mods, it's pretty good.
no i insist, you tell me
I've been having fun with a base enb, and some quality of life mods.
Speaking of mods, is there a way to get the Unofficial Patch to work now that Nexus doesn't work?
Nexus doesn't work?
>for example the one where you're on the boat and it gets hijacked
Whoa, I never did this.
Its in Anvil
I havent played in a long time so I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's in the imperial city waterfront. Theres an inn which is in a boat, you rent a room and sleep in the bed and when you awaken the boat has been taken out to sea by bandits
I liked the playable characters from a lore perspective and the ending was epic to a pretty average main quest. Still worth playing for the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood, as well as the expansions.
Oh yeah thats right, thought it was Anvil.
Skyrim is better
I'm playing it for the first time since it came out and I'm enjoying it a lot. I can't help but laugh whenever I hear NPCs talk to each other. The game has a lot of charm to it in the voice acting.
I'm level 10 and 30 hours into this playthrough. I didn't knew how to level properly when playing before, but when you understand it you get a much better experience.
I'm looking forward to doing Shivering Isles since I never bought the DLC on 360.
What's wrong with Nexus? And yes you can install them manually if that's what you're asking. After you download the mod there's a readme in the folder "Docs".
>argonia is mudhuts and shit
>ripping on dumber elves
The games real fun with exception of the level scaling
Its the comfiest game ever made. No whatever you're thinking of isn't comfier.
How did the boat get to sea when there are multiple bridges and even banks of solid land intersecting the riverway ?
Slightly worse than Skyrim.
A great deal better than Morrowind.

I wish I could experience the joy and magic of playing Oblivion for the first time again, and relive the experience of my jaw hitting the ground at how open and detailed and immersive it was. I should probably buy it on PC and check out Shivering Isles, seeing all the praise it's receiving.
The side-quests are why I still defend the game. For all its hilarious jank, stiff combat, and bland dungeons, I still remember Oblivion having plenty of distinct side-quests worth doing, while I can only remember two or three that really stood out to me in Skyrim.
some parts of it yes, however the character models are severely lacking and combat is somehow more boring than skyrim

I don't think we'll ever get that feel again, lads.
Game devs/pubs just seem more intent on letting you do less and less in every game world nowadays, replacing true interactions with QTEs, cutscenes, scripted events, and "epic" writing/storytelling.
The development strategy of "how can we let the player interact MORE with the game world?" died out some dozen or so years ago. It's just not profitable to make a game more interactive and player-driven beyond the point that it can be easily-accessible for streamers to showcase the "money shot" content.
Yeah, big open-world games have basically become a running joke in the game industry, but I still vividly remember popping out of the water for the first time in Oblivion and feeling a real sense of wonder.
What mods to install?
texture and character model overhauls to start with id say.
It has every single issue that people complain about modern Bethesda titles.
People were just too stupid to see it back then, and there was no comparison to make. Today, it's a different story. Oblivion sucks ass.
this game is so fucking comfy, and so charming too. the npcs act retarded but its in a really good way. it feels like a fun cartoon.
It holds up about as well as you are willing to tolerate the hilariously bad jank thats been present since it came out 14 years ago. Personally I think it adds to the experience as a whole.
Unofficial Patch
UO DLC Patch
UO Shivering Isles Patch
Darnified UI
Skill Diary
And that's it.
It's the comfiest game in existence
For some reason it refused to cooperate last time I booted it up. Best guess its over them pushing the new Vortex thing. That or it's been so long I forgot what the fuck I'm doing
I've heard it's best not to use NMM for Oblivion modding. The unofficial patches are easy enough to install if that's all the modding you want.
Posting this for the thread.

Wrye Bash is the best oblivion mod manager
Pretty much, only reason I wanted to install it was I ran into a bugged NPCs heading to places they shouldn't
