It's not very full, yet, but I will be adding to it as time goes by.

To kick things off, here's an interesting shot:

@mALX: I've had it on my PC for quite some time, but I've been a bit busy with modding Oblivion over the past several months to play it. Now I've finally decided to boot it up again, and I'm loving every second of it! I've also lightly modded it at this point, as well. Nothing major, just a few replacers and a tiny combat tweaker (so that combat doesn't take 'til my next birthday to finish).

@King Coin: Please do, you will not regret it!

Now, some screenshots of Oblivion I've had on the backburners for a while...

That pic of Frostcrag in the distance is awesome. I'd like to see more of the towns. Ranger's Guild? does that have a questline?

Posted by: Acadian Mar 31 2011, 04:19 PM

Lovely scenery, TK! goodjob.gif

Posted by: Thomas Kaira Mar 31 2011, 04:28 PM

@King Coin: No, the Rangers Guild is just a new addition from Better Cities. I don't think it exists for anything other than making Chorrol look pretty.

@Acadian: Thanks.

The mist off the water in that top pic is breath-taking.

Castle Skingrad certainly looks ominous. You would think a vampire lived there! biggrin.gif

That last pic of Bravil is certainly not the same down-on-its-luck, but charmingly rustic city that Buffy and Teresa know and love! It looks like necromancers took it over. blink.gif

Posted by: Acadian Mar 31 2011, 05:30 PM

Yes, when you said your Bravil was a dark and ominous place, you weren't fooling around! Teresa, Buffy and friends will have to move from their little town nestled in the forest and river to Chorrol or Pells Gate now! Just kidding - wonderful screenies!

Posted by: King Coin Mar 31 2011, 06:27 PM

Those are very impressive.

Posted by: mALX Apr 4 2011, 10:34 AM

GAAAAH!!! I love that Bravil mod! Having "Welcome to Bravil" painted on the wall like that - that sets the stage for what you'll find inside too !! AWESOME !!!

I agree with SubRosa on that Skingrad Castle screen too - with the stormy looking sky over it - that was great !!!

Looks like a Dark Elf. Nice screens! Bows are very popular in these parts. Probably because they are so much fun in game.

Posted by: Thomas Kaira May 28 2011, 03:52 AM

I was debating myself over the armor exchange, but in the end, I tried the Mithril armor on, and I liked the way it looked on her so much that I decided to keep it.

The hair is from the cosmetics package that came with http://theelderscrolls.info/?go=dlfile&fileid=215

The clothes have been retextured by http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=7487.

The bow is added by Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, and the arrows have been altered to have longer shafts by http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9051 (with versions for other mods available http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25335).

Perhaps there be buried treasure 'round here? Or perhaps a certain blondie would enjoy a swim?

Anyways, an excellent view if Garlas Malatar to the left and Stirk to the right.

For those wondering, Stirk is part of the lore, and it does belong to Cyrodiil (although Hammerfell disputes this ownership claim). If you are doubtful, take a look at the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/File:TamrielMap.jpg here. See that small island just off the Gold Coast? That is Stirk.

By the way, even though Stirk was not included in Oblivion, I don't fault Bethesda for that. It's a pretty tiny island. But nonetheless, it feels good to have it.

Oblivion has returned to my PC. It is exactly as I left it. All mods remain, all saved data remains, everything.

Essentially, my game is exactly as I left it when my previous PC died. Absolutely no progress has been lost.

And let me tell you, there has been a substantial INCREASE in performance, as well. Oblivion is performing so well on this new build that I was floored. But really, I'm far too excited to enjoy it right now, not to mention I still have a few things left to do on this PC to get it fully functional.

But it sure is good to have this old friend back. biggrin.gif

That other tower is the Skyrim Border Outpost added by the mod http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=21856

This is a mod that I actually think Rider might want to check out, as it allows for you to actually join the Imperial Legion. Me? It's mostly there for backdrop purposes. It serves as the Cyrodiil Legion headquarters in my game, with stationing at the various border forts as well as the special forts build in the old style added by ImpeREAL Forts. This gives the Legion a pretty good presence, but still allows one to entertain the notion of the Oblivion Crisis stretching them to the brink (which this is a fair example of an engine limitation actually ADDING to the atmosphere).

The Imperial City is a special case, though, with its own dedicated Century based in the Prison District. This effectively means there are two armies in Cyrodiil: The Cyrodiil Legion and the City Century. One is devoted to the province as a whole, and the other is strictly dedicated to the capital city. The City Century is comprised of the best the Cyrodiil Legion has to offer, as they are fitted with polished, well cared for armor and are well fed, groomed, and looked after so to give the impression of an impeccable order of soldiers. But you must be awarded a position in the City Century, first. You cannot just sign up to be a guardsman of the capital city. Only the most distinguished soldiers get that high honor, and only the most distinguished and decorated officers are given Palace duty. You may sign up for the Legion in the city, of course, but your first stop on that road will be boot camp at Fort Akatosh. Then you will realize that the City Century serves a purpose of propaganda as well as defense.

The Blades serve as the equivalent of the Praetorian Guard, as defined in the lore.

Half the screen is above water, half the screen is underwater.

Posted by: King Coin Jul 9 2011, 08:36 PM

Even with your caption it took me a moment to realize what was happening there. It first it just looked like really a really dark colored and smooth lake.

Nice to see the water showing properly in your game.

Posted by: Thomas Kaira Jul 9 2011, 10:22 PM

It's showing better than proper. The underwater fogging is no longer dependent on the game's fog shader.

Previously, going underwater simply prompted the game to move its fog effect in really close, resulting in a jarring transition and the ability to see clearly underwater in certain positions.

No longer. Now it feels natural to go for a swim.

Posted by: Thomas Kaira Jul 11 2011, 07:57 PM

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30054

It powers the new water, as well. Now that v3 has been released, OBGE is now capable of hooking and replacing the game's default shaders, as well as adding in new post-processing effects. This has allowed for every last one of Liquid Water's limitations and issues to be fixed.

Which means that every single other water mod out there now is now obsolete.

Posted by: King Coin Jul 11 2011, 08:35 PM

Oh I need to update then. I have an older version of OBGE.

Scenery is from Unique Landscapes: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16677 The distant visuals are vanilla (with the angle carefully chosen to hide seams in the landscape mesh) with high-res (2048 X 2048) LOD Landscape textures from the Vibrant Texture pack, http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=32709 (1024 X 1024), and a http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9952.

Texture pack is http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18677 to give the game a bit more color. They are the same resolution as the vanilla textures, too, so you can use them with no performance impact.

The Hammerfell Pass, does it open the borders? That is AWESOME !!! - Oh, and I saw a sunken ship on page two, what mod is that? AWESOME !!!

Posted by: Thomas Kaira Jul 14 2011, 05:14 AM

You can do that yourself with an INI edit, you know. wink.gif

Just open the Oblivion.INI, find the entry bBorderRegionsEnabled=1, and change the 1 to a 0. Voila! No more invisible border walls!

Unfortunately, there isn't much beyond the borders but trees and flat grass textures.http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=34484 that is aiming to recreate Hammerfell on the Oblivion engine, but it is far from complete at this point. Also, that mod has Hammerfell moved to a separate worldspace, so you can only enter from specific points. Just walking in brings you to the empty vanilla wilderness.

Grits is right. This is the aftermath of the Battle of Bruma.

What you can't see: the battlefield in my game has actually caved in because of the battle and revealed the entrance to an old fort underneath.

See, this is what happens when you put off finishing the main quest? You start to forget such iconic sights as the Siege Crawler hulk. tongue.gif

Today, the latest in Cyrodiilic fashion!

http://i.imgur.com/xdtU3.jpg These signify the high priests of Akatosh, the God of the everlasting, and are a mark of significant power and authority. These replica robes may not contain the power of the Dragon like the real Chantry robes, but they have seen a significant rise in popularity since the conclusion of the Oblivion Crisis. Particularly at festivals.

http://i.imgur.com/yLjQP.jpg This example, the kilt and collar of the feared Xivilai, was painstakingly recreated from samples taken from the Temple plaza at the conclusion of the Battle of the Temple.

Oftentimes, at celebratory festivals and plays, the epic battle of Dagon vs. Akatosh the Redeemer would be played out with Martin/Akatosh wearing the Chantry robes, and Dagon wearing the Xivilai garb. It has proven to be quite successful, and as many more serious playwrights have taken up the task of committing the famous scenes to theater, many say these will become the 'official' costumes for that great battle.

Today's model: Velmenian (really, NOT a Bosmer).

That robe is Awesome !! I love it!! (and love the storyline that goes along with it!!

Posted by: King Coin Oct 14 2011, 05:03 AM

That robe is fantastic!

Posted by: Grits Oct 14 2011, 11:24 AM

Wow, the robe looks great! Velmenian Not-a-Bosmer should kick off his shoes if he's going to play the role of Dagon. tongue.gif

I love the mental image of that battle being reenacted at a festival.

That Akatosh robe is most excellent.

Posted by: Acadian Oct 15 2011, 12:25 AM

Nice robes indeed. Right down to the dragon on the chest! And a snazzy Xivilai outfit that I’m glad to see preserves the Mythic Dawnish colors. Finally, a creative story to bring their history and purpose to life!

Thanks, TK. It looks nice!

That does look excellent. The distant background especially, which was always Oblivion's weakness.

Just saw that a couple of hours ago. Very nice.

EDIT: http://i.imgur.com/4Kzif.jpg

I did my best to make him as not-ugly a Dunmer as I could while still retaining some of that Dunmer feel in the face (triangular jawline, tall, pointed chin, slanted eyes, etc.) I like how it turned out, overall.

Posted by: Grits Nov 12 2011, 01:17 PM

You really captured the look you're describing. I think he looks great, and definitely still like a Dunmer. goodjob.gif


Posted by: mALX Nov 12 2011, 02:15 PM

That is one tough looking character !!!

My character was just at Darkwaterfalls. I don't think she cleared it though, due to the difficulty of the inhabitants.

Posted by: Grits Nov 16 2011, 12:41 AM

I love those falls, even though they're not very wood elf friendly. blink.gif

I totally agree, my character was there today! It's so peaceful. Perfect place to live. The surround sound makes me a little jumpy, standing on the bridge in the game I expected to be swept out onto the porch of my actual house. tongue.gif

We need a "Today in Skyrim" thread! smile.gif

I recently hit the reset button on my Skyrim journeys, and while I was at it, decided to change races.

http://i.imgur.com/czdiU.jpg Again, I did the best I could, but because I'm working with two-thirds pre-sets it is pretty much impossible to get these people looking exactly the way I want (the chins!!! Oh, by Azura, the chins!!!).

But at least he looks like a friggin wood elf! Instead of a neanderthal (The chins!!!). laugh.gif

Sadly, I didn't have too many options for the eyes, it was either Bosmer black, Dunmer red, or blind-eyes of varying degrees.

Posted by: mALX Nov 21 2011, 01:28 AM

I like both your choices of characters, you did a great job with the sliders !!

Posted by: Grits Nov 21 2011, 01:50 AM

I like him even better this way. Those black eyes make me think of the Wild Hunt. blink.gif

looks a bit chilly for the wood elf, but lets wait for her input.

I was thinking that too. It looks like someone decided to commit suicide by jumping off the top of the falls...
