Oblivion again. I am NOT starting the MQ anytime soon (since with an alt start mod, I don't have to go there until I want to - which will be... a very long time in the future - and there won't be any damned gates until then either thank the goddesses!)

I've found a few quests already that I don't think I ever did - that might be due to starting in Bruma this time. Bruma was usually my last port of call for some reason.

Still, regardless the character model is - less than optimal - I've been having fun. As regards the character model.... it's not optimal even with OCO. I.... tend to just not look - most of the time.

It's nice to start out fresh at an old game.. doing something new.. different..

I'm to dang restless to set with anything.. I've played about an hour of Skyrim today.. says 4 hours, but I just paused and wrote, cleaned.. and read.. did some GIMP.. took a nap.. walked around the Ranch ( not the whole thing, just the "living" area.. which is still about 5 to 10 acres.. if you walk the back areas. Ranch is much more than that of course.

Walking is good. Clears the brain....

I - really want to love Oblivion. I really want to enjoy the quests again. Unfortunately.... the potato heads are giving me serious issues.

That;s nothing new of course.

I try not to look at some things in games, just so I can enjoy the story, but it IS hard at times.

It's absolutely amazing really - Oblivion's music I mean. It pulls from all the previous games, and it pre-shadows Skyrim. So I get this whole.... VAST.... panorama of TES from the beginning.....

Well, it's not easy. The character is a problem for me. The way she moves. And when I look at her. At least in play, it's from behind.....

The NPCs are potato-heads. That bothers me. I just.... try not to see!

In fact, the only race I could even begin to stand this time is dunmer. And truthfully, I'm not all that happy with OCO. Thinking about restarting, with HGEC body, and various other things - hair and eye mods etc.

Yeah, that is my issue and I have not downloaded any mods as of yet.. looking at them, deciding which choices work the best for me.. etc..

Sere, where you able to install OCOv2 and get results similar to what they show on the mod page? Try as I might, I just cannot get that mod and Blockhead to play nice.

I gave up on it.

Nope - and that's the problem. I got them installed and playing nice together (by redoing the install about half a dozen times) but the faces still don't look like on the mod page, nothing close in fact, AND the neck seam is just NASTY.

Think I'll just set up a second install and mess with different body mods etc until (or if) I get something I can stand.

Ok, glad it isn't just me.

I'm going to check over at Chorrol, and report back. I believe Decrepit had those mods playing pretty well.

Compatibility Patches. I forgot about this mod, so I figure I'd post it in case you haven't tried it.

Never understood people's issues with "potato heads" - they look fine to me.


Amy Who, welcome back to Cyrodiil, Sere! May the roads carry you safely in your journeys :)

Well, Seamless is going to have to wait. The damn tv sucked up so much of my bw I don't have much to spare for a while....
