GFN isn't great. Expensive, queues and limited session lengths. Meh. No good if you like MMORPGs.

I found it really good on the 6 month ultimate offer I had the end of last year. Certainly no queues on that package. I think session length was something like 6 hours, which is plenty for most. I think my longest was about 2 hours.

If you have the free plan then yes agreed there can be queues and average performance but paid plans, esp Ultimate is brilliant and none of the limitations.

Is there a "instant death" mod when you're a vampire, if you go out in the daytime you burst into flames?
At day 12 I think I was killed in about 30 seconds, possibly less, but it certainly wasn’t instant.
Thankfully completed the vampirism quest the other day. Just hope I don’t have to do it again if I get bit again!
I think I enjoyed The Shivering Isles the least, I genuinely didn't enjoy the game play or the story from what I remember back at the time.
I'm level 31 now and not too far from completing the main quest, I'll give it another go once I'm done!

Pretty much the same towers if I remember, going from one walkway to the next
So I have a way around this, it's quite scummy though.
I downloaded the achievement unblocker, then I type ghost in the console commands and then just cheese my way to collect the stone and close the gate. It's the only way I enjoy the game as the Oblivion gates are dire.
A small number aside, there are like 4-5 quest layout ones where you can't immediately go for the sigil stone, most of them with decent enough points in athletics and acrobatics, etc. you can just cheese them and run straight through, grab anything interesting and go straight for the stone.
Sadly they are very samey after you've done them a couple of times and not the most interesting of content.
(Or you could just use console commands but personally I'm at least trying to sort of play the game hah though I'm cheesing a lot of the more tedious content).

I guess it's a game from 2006 so what should you expect...but the quests are quite ****. Finding it pretty boring to play. The graphics are really nice at times so I'm plodding along.
I played the original for 200 hours it's funny how our opinion shifts in time.

Not sure what you mean? There are about six to eight that the MQ makes you clear. There rest are voluntary. The voluntary ones will keep respawning until you complete the MQ. As you close each one, another opens. I believe there are about 90 sites they can appear at, and depending on where you are with the MQ up to 40 can be active. If you all sites, then they respawn at sites already cleared.
I once cleared 54 in a game to see how much they varied. Not much.
