Gog Oblivion Options

[SubRosa]

I bought Oblivion from Gog.com a while ago, and finally got around to installing it. It comes with the executable already pre-patched to 4gb aware. It also comes with all the dlcs. They install automatically with the game.

I tried it with my old Morroblivion files, and they work! For some reason Morroblivion had stopped working with my old GOTY disc install of Oblivion. So I think I might give that a try sometime soon.

I also got my Martial Arts for Oblivion mod mostly done today. As I did with Morrowind, I took a dagger and changed the mesh to a ring, and renamed it Martial Arts. Works like a charm. I just wish there was some way I could change it to use the hand to hand animations instead of the dagger animations. But I am not sure that is even possible.

I also created a shield the same way, but have not tested it yet to see how it works.


And now Morroblivion CTDs every time I try to load a save again.

Ah Ha! I got it working. The problem - somehow - was that after my initial install I added the Morroblivion files into OMOD files for OBMM. For some reason those files coming out of an OMOD broke the game. I deleted the OMODs, and copied the files over directly. Viola! It works again.

It's been so long, I've completely forgotten how to use it.

But does one still need to use Wrye Bash and make Bashed Patches for GOG Oblivion?

One does not really "need" WB in my opinion unless there is an actual need for it. The Bashed Patch does resolve conflicts. Let's say two mods make changes to Leveled Lists, for instance. You put MMM and some other mod together, and now your game is CTDing more often. The patch should tell you if it's the lists which are the problem, and yeah, this includes the GoG install.

On the other hand, the Bashed Patch can also CAUSE problems to occur. I've seen results of this, firsthand. An example: I've got MMM's No Undead Rise in my game, which makes sure zombies and some other undead won't constantly keep coming back to un-life while we're in their midst. 🧟 Wrye recommended bashing this into the patch, so like a good gamer, I did. LO, this caused (wouldn't ya know it) zombies and other undead to keep coming back to unlife!

So I took that out of the patch. Problem solved.
