An Elder Scrolls: Oblivion thead

Apparently their plans for releasing paid for content was known quit a while ago, 1st I had heard.

It was announced a fair while back, I think it was at least a couple of months ago we were told horse armour would be a paid-for add in.
 
Can anyone help with mouse speed, I've increased my sensitivity in game but it is still woefully slow on the menu screens, It's not laggy just annoyingly slow once you are used to a twitchy mouse in games??

Is there a setting in the Config folder that can alter this?
 
I took a screenshot, can you check it to see if the rubbish textures in the distance are normal?
I have all the draw distance sliders to the max and it is still rubbish :confused:

 
It does seem to look a little worse in your screenshot than it should, maybe that's partly down to JPEG compression?

Either way, someone on the offical forums has released a higher quality texture to replace the standard one which seems to have minimal performance impact.

Be sure to also get the mod by shaja (also linked in the first post of that thread).

That seems to be a bit closer than usual. The low quality textures normally appear a bit further away than that.

There is an ini setting (gridstoload=5) that when set to 7 or 9 increases the quality of the distant textures or theres a mod which doubles/quadrouples the quality of all distant textures.

Hi guys, i have a stock A64 3500+, 1gb of RAM and an X800XL, is it worth me buying this game? I.E will i experience it in a way that gives it justice?

Many thanks

Yes. The game is not just about the graphics (your rig will run it fine btw)
 
Right, spent all day building my PC. Every runs fine, all the latest drivers are on. Tested with DoD maxed out, ran fine. Finally, after a few weeks, I can install this game! :D

Only to find that your dvd rom has broken :p
 
Finally got Oblivion today after many weeks of considering as to wether it will affect my revision (and it probably will :p ), but out of curiosity, what level where you guys when you entered the first oblivion gate at Kvash? I'm in there at level one, and it's not too bad after the first few mobs (with a bit of regen between each one) but does it get a lot harder?

Wow, these make a massive difference! No more soupey rubbish distant textures for no drop in performance!

I'm level 12 and haven't even been to Kvatch yet :p The main quest doesn't interest me that much to tell the truth - I'm just loving doing my own thing. Having decided to do that and to also embrace the level scaling, I can honestly say this is the most enjoyable RPG I've played....and I've been playing them since Avalon on the Spectrum 20 years ago :)

I heard/read that the others also level up with you so really it doesn't matter much at what level you are, there is only a slight advantage to levelling up in this game, in that sense it is different than say Final Fantasy where the monsters have a fixed strength no matter what you level is.

Me too, I have just started but as soon as I see a structure or Inn I enter to see what there is to do, I just wish I had a a lot more lockpicks though :(
