Once you have installed the OOO mod, is there an esp. file that appears in the data bos when starting up oblivion?

Yes, an OOO .esp file is needed. There are two versions included with the download. LITE and FULL.

I've installed OOO full along with Quarls texture pack but I've got a bit of a problem; some (but not all) of the guards armour is invisible. Looks a bit strange and I'd rather they weren't partly invisible. Any ideas on what's wrong??

I just started again after losing my massive levelled save. Im now an Orc warrior/barbarian sort of thing. I got a huge warhammer and kills most stuff in one hit, whereas before hand i was a khajiit thief. I love being so powerfull. this game is great even though i've almost completed it.

Hrm, I'm a Dark Elf Acrobat who is more of an Asassin than anything at the moment. I've got really bored with Oblivion TBH but I might give it a go with a dumbass warhammer wielding Orc

i don't know how people manage to change character so often?
after investing over 80 hrs into my dark elf war mage i would'nt dream of swapping him until he's done everything.
i only wish dark elves were'nt smurf blue

Hi guys, I have Oblivion sitting next to me but haven't played it much, I plan on getting a new GPU to put my system to:

AMD 3500+ (@2.5ghz)
1gb DDR
Connect3d 1950XT 256mb

Will this run it high? Thanks.

so ive gone mage, had to use a command ingame to change to that thought as i went for the wrong one @ the beginning. wanted the fast mana regen you get " the beginning in the sewers but still dont have it.

only problem is, using the command resets all my minor skills to the same lvl as my character, 6... so im currently trying to figure out how to change them back as my endurance was up @ 22.

Console Command

showracemenu - Change Race/Appearance

Using this menu will reset all of your skills to their default initial settings. (If you edit your race, instead of clicking "done" when you are done, leave the race menu open and save your game. When you reload it your race/looks will be changed like you wanted them to be and your skills will not be reset.

How do you guys level up on Oblivion, when I had it on PC I got to the last quest and was about level 6, then my computer exploded and lost my game.

I'm level 2 on PS3 atm.

MooSey-UK · 14 May 2007 at 11:06

by repeatedly using your chosen skills.
when you raise any combination of these by 10 points you go up a level.

Right ive just ordered both expansion packs, but im having second thoughts and might cancel them. Do they really add that much content worth the purchase?

yes and no, Knights of the nine isn't worth it imo, but Shivering Isles is so far beyond brilliant, a real must have.

There are a few ways to level quickly (without "cheating" - at least without entering console commands) eg:

If your a stealthy type character get yourself the mage guild recommendations sorted asap (kind of a must anyway) so you have access to the enchanting alter. Make yourself some chameleon armour then go find a guard by a gate, point at the wall next to him (find a corner if you can), sneak, tap q (autorun) and point in the corner. Leave the game to its own devices for a couple of hours and instant level 10 character (so long as stealth was a major skill ofc).

Lots of other things like this you can do. Eg acrobatics:

Jump in the water next to imperial city and find a corner of rock you cant walk onto (eg a bridge works too) again, point into a corner and leave it swimming for a couple of hours = lvl 100 acrobatics and level 10 character.

Using the 2 above would give you a VERY good stealthy type char.

Find some armour of your chosen type (light or heavy) get a shield enchant on it so you take less damage - go find something small that is unlikely to kill you (eg mud-crab) annoy it and leave it to hit you punatively for a few hours, lvl 100 armour and 10 character levels.

You get the idea - theres LOTS more, there all kinda slow but good to get a decent character level. Only trouble would be that some creatures would get massively powerful against your rather feeble combat skills. So mebbe something to do after a few levels done the normal way

Currently have a lvl 30 kajit sneaky type with a decent array of spells to back him up. Also means I can enchant some pretty evil spells onto weapons (e.g 2 sec paralyse and 50 drain health on a decently meaty weapon)

Swimming raises athletics, not acrobatics.

The mudcrab tango is best done with rats, but they are more randomly generated. Mudcrabs hit harder, but are easier to find.

Does anyone know how to enable so you have bloom, HDR and AA on at the same time?

MooSey-UK · 3 Aug 2007 at 23:45

Why would you want bloom and HDR?
Bloom is fake HDR for vid cards that have'nt the technology to provide HDR.
On SM2 cards (eg ATi x800 series etc) you can have bloom and AA On SM3 cards (eg Nv 6800 etc) you can have HDR but not AA. If you want HDR and AA you need either an ATi X1800 series and upwards or an Nvidia 8000 series upwards.
