What a silly question! Tamriel Rebuilt of course. (which would be stirk at this point) I don't even use any other mods as I am just that much of a purist.

seriously though, discuss this on the BSF, not here.

jeez thrig, the lounge is for discussing this kind of stuff. theres no harm in telling what we like, especially since we may be able to adapt TR around popular mod qualities.

This topic is like telling your girlfriend that another girl is hotter than her.

Nanu · Post by **Nanu** » Sat Dec 20, 2008 11:52 pm

I run an FCOM install, so either that or QTP or Spirit's Edge, but only because I made it.

except you don't get slapped.well actually you do.

thrig calm this is off-topic and i think i can discuss this kinda stuff here.
haven't tried Btmod yet.
oh and my opinion of tamriel rebuilt - not the greatest (no fanboying plz) but good. Haven't seen much to add it as awesome. all there is for IV is stirk, which is the barely the size of Market District. i don't have morrowind to try Map1 Map2, but from the screens it looks good.

lol defensive

I agree about Midas Magic though. Cheese atronachs and dwemer cars are all kinds of awesome.

FMOD (or at least Oscuro) is a necessity for me to enjoy playing Oblivion, and the BTmod (or DarnUI, or anything else that cures the consolitis which afflicts vanilla Ob) is a necessity for me to keep it installed.

Other than that, I'm very fond of Cobl. I liked Bethesda's own KotN mod.

I am eagerly waiting for Phitt's Sheogorad mod, as soon as it's available it'll become a permanent part of my Oblivion installation. I was also keeping an eye on Waalx's Animals and Creatures but kinda started to lose interest when it appeared the author would keep adding more and more features and as a result never get to a point where he would decide to release it.

Finally, the Unofficial Patches are must haves, but I don't consider them as being really mods, they don't add content, they merely fix it.

oh and plz don't be ignorants and ban. It's my opinion. Don't like it? your prob.

You are not in an argumentum ad hominem here, this is an official warning to stop acting like it. Stop insulting people, the air, the project, and anything else I can't think of right now. If you want to discuss your opinions about a game, go ahead, but don't insult the leadership of the project(or anyone else) while you do it. It is our problem and also our prerogative to get rid of you if we don't like what you are doing, so keep that in mind.

And I would stay away from calling the members of TR fan boys, too, if I were you.

kikai · Post by **kikai** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 2:17 am

did it sound like an insult?
then let me summarize it all up.

i have other preferences than TR.
i don not feel any anger against this project or it's leader.
no means to insult the project or leader.
im just expressing my opinion which is being misunderstood.

it's normal for a person to defend it's creation. and i have no problems against it. i just don't enjoy it as much as you seems to do.

therefore im sorry.

please continue discussing about your own Personal favorite mod.

im sticking to mines Akatosh Mount and Midas Magic

Well, I will rate from the mods I have last tried.
So I shall go with LAME: Less Annoying Magic Experience.

Nanu · Post by **Nanu** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 4:04 am

LAME is nice, so is Mighty Magick.

Actually, it did.

Coming in here and slagging off our mod ("it only earns 'my' 'good rating' because I've seen some screenshots, so it might just scrape by") isn't gonna earn you many friends here.

We have no problem with your opinion, but please try to be a little less snarky in expressing it, okay?

As for my favourite mod for Oblivion: probably OOO, because otherwise the game's unplayable.

I tried it with OOO, but it was still pretty unplayable. The leveling in Oblivion was rubbish, but what killed it for me was the complete lack of dialogue options. "Wow, I can choose from 4 different topics? This blows." Who the hell thought it was a good idea to have every single line of dialogue recorded? If someone knows of a mod which changes that, let me know. Otherwise Oblivion can remain on a shelf upstairs gathering dust.

Bloodthirsty Crustacean · Sun Dec 21, 2008 12:13 pm

Haha, yeah. I didn't say it made it a good game.

Just 'playable'.

And yes, if TES V continues down the Oblivion road, I officially lose any interest in TES.

Andres Indoril · Post by **Andres Indoril** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 12:21 pm

You could still try keeping your interest with Morrowind?

Bloodthirsty Crustacean · Sun Dec 21, 2008 12:30 pm

Oh, of course. Morrowind is something entirely different, and TR is keeping it healthily undead for some time yet to come (for me, anyway!

)

Gez · Post by **Gez** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 12:54 pm

TR is not alone. MGE and MCP are absolutely awesome, and I like that then LGNPC team is still going on.

kikai · Post by **kikai** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 2:29 pm

And
Morroblivion.

Chin Music · Post by **Chin Music** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 3:31 pm

Oblivion is fun in a different way. I've still sunk a lot of time into it but Morrowind is the far superior game in my opinion.

It's kind of when you realise that while most Morrowind mods add to the game and make it generally more immersive and enjoyable, most Oblivion mods are attempts to "fix" the game.

My favourite non-TR mod? Probably has to be Better Heads. So much better than the stock ones it boggles the mind. There's really no excuse to not use it.

blackbird · Post by **blackbird** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 4:11 pm

Please do not mention Morroblivion. It's actually illegal.

I belive there are many good mods for OB, but I have a few of them. I won't say TR is the best, because Stirk (final version) is not out, just as the rest of the HF province. But I know it will be a good mod.

daedren · Post by **daedren** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 4:14 pm

Oblivion mod - I would say Unique Landscapes. Actually, I'm a hell of a purist, so generally I play Oblivion with just unofficial patches.
Still, like the UL project very much, coz it adds much more uniqueness to the world. Dark UI is my favourite interface mod.
Of course, Tamriel Rebuilt is great

Concerning Morrowind, I don't really know. I have played tons of different mods, and many are great and well designed (Journey's End, Better Bodies, Morrowind Crafting, and so on).
But Tamriel Rebuilt is the mod for Morrowind i'm actually looking for, because I'm purist and I know bethesda was intending to release the whole province, but then cut it off. One of the best things of TR is exactly the relation it establishes with lore, taking it in consideration when building the mod, and therefore causing it to blend seamlessly with the original. In the meantime, I play Morrowind with expansions, official mods and unofficial patch.

No. But using what it outputs is against Bethesda's EULA.

Lady Nerevar · Post by **Lady Nerevar** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 9:18 pm

i play a rather lightly modded game, and my main reason for playing oblivion is eye candy... so Natural Environments, probably. dont really have a "favorite" mod though, just a lot of small ones that add a little something to the games (like Quarl's logs, which just makes the logs containers with mushrooms).

milne · Post by **milne** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 10:22 pm

For Oblivion, I like anything that has mrSiika's meshes in it really, like the Dwemer Skyship and Castle Almgard. Tamriel Rebuilt looks lke it might become my favourite soon though...

For Morrowind it's simply Tamriel Rebuilt...

I love it.

No one's mentioned [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_7A87M849I&feature=related]Deadly[/url] [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Zm20COvY8&feature=related]Reflex?[/url] One of the most kickass mods I've ever used. Horse combat, enhanced balanced magic, crazy ninja combat...

Axebane's collection of realism mods was pretty good too, ie. the hunting and hunger mods.

Of the official mods, KotN was a bit too short and gave you that same feeling of "hooray you saved the world... again. Here's another ser of armor, now off you pop!"

But SI was really good, if still slightly incomplete. I feel that your powers as Sheogorath should be enhanced. If anyone here would care to mod that in their spare time...

As soon as TR: Hammerfell gets released that's hitting #1, I'm sure of that.

true, when TR releases hammerfell, that would be my top top top favorite.

Chin Music · Post by **Chin Music** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 10:03 am

Missed the "Oblivion" restriction in the title.

I don't really have a favourite Oblivion mod, but Open Cities is pretty damn good. In terms of content addition, I love Realswords. Waalx is a modelling god.

I don't think Morroblivion is so sensitive that it shouldn't even be mentioned, it just doesn't really "count" since it's not supposed to exist. The problem with it was that Bethesda doesn't want people using content from their games in other games, even if said other games are their own.

Myzel · Post by **Myzel** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 1:12 pm

The problem with it was that Bethesda doesn't want people using content from their games in other games, even if said other games are their own.

Which is not all that strange, since people now could play Morrowind content without actually buying that game. I think they tried to fix that by making the mod dependant on the morrowind master files but I don't know what bethesda thinks of that. I don't think the mod is that good anyway.

On topic: I don't use any unofficial mods for oblivion. Actually, I lost interest in that game. I'd rather play Morrowind. I'll try Stirk's next release though.

Not that I'm trying to defend Morroblivion or anything, as I doubt it's really all that good (e.g. I don't think it includes any Morrowind quests, so it's just the world), but wouldn't you have to have the Morrowind Data Files so that the program can convert it to Oblivion Data, meaning you'd have to either 1) buy Morrowind, or 2) get the Data Files illegally, meaning that it's already getting illegal before you even use Morroblivion. Just a thought, but I don't favor Morroblivion; I'd rather just play the TES3 engine.

Thrignar Fraxix · Post by **Thrignar Fraxix** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 3:20 pm

lets all just shut up about the undeniably illegal Morroblivion and get back on subject so I don't have to lock this.

Sniper4 · Post by **Sniper4** » Thu Dec 25, 2008 1:14 am

OOO is my favorite Oblivion mod. With OOO, I like Oblivion almost as much as Morrowind. I like the new factions that Oscuro added, such as the Skyrim bandit clans, and the Bosmer rangers. The new quests that he added are also my favorite type: You raid the bases/hideouts of your enemies, collect documents from them, and use the information in those documents to find key targets to castrate their faction.

He also added a lot more interesting loot to the dungeons as well, so I actually have a reason to enter every dungeon I come across

. I'm doing my best to collect the meteoric iron weapons from the Ayleid ruins

.
