Oblivion time again!

[matt_fsr]

OK maybe its the crappy weather, or just a lingering urge... but its time for another bash at Oblivion, plus a little moddage!

This time im going for a High Elf, undecided on gender, with Mage attribute for max magika, and im going to do the "reverse level" thing by putting major skills as things I dont use such as hand-to-hand and speechcraft.

I plan on having a large spell set and really working on the magic, with a good conjuration set, and a knife as final melee backup.

Mods/patches are going to be:

Official patch 1.2.0146
Unofficial patch 3.01
Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul 1.31
Quarls Texture pack 3 + patch (mah00sive download!)
OBMM (obviously)
Crowded cities - No psychic guards - Double archers damage - Armory Lab - Arena Loot - Buy lockpicks - Bag of holding - Ruined Tail's Tale
+ a few others that I've used before.

Any other good recommendations for character tweaking or good mods to add? It'll probably take me most of this evening to get just the mods set up, let alone creating the character!

I used to run it on an Opteron 144 @ 2.6Ghz, and an X1900XT 256Mb, that handled it pretty well, without too many graphics mods.

Not sure how Quarl's pack will eat my 8800GT, time to find out I suppose - might be the justification for that nice shiny 4870 if its not fast enough

While since I popped back to the thread, been too busy playing!

I did initially start off a character with the "reverse levelling" - but with OOO it was too much like hard work, so I just went for normal stlye levelling - currently level 9.

However, doing some reading elsewhere... i *FINALLY* found out what luck does in-game!

Basically, it acts as a kind of "multiplier" where everything runs through, before being applied. - Try enchanting an item with a grand soul gem, with luck. Wear it, then take it off, and look at the stat differences between wearing and not. You get better armour value, lower spell cost etc right across the board.... hmmm, time to just build a "luck suit" up methinks?
