Yes, you can. Takes a little save file juggling though, as you gotta remember which save is which character. But I have altitis and restartitis.

So you've never done the quest? Are you ever going to?

I liked Oblivions main quest. ><

Oh, dear. Where is Renee?


Nope, never have and never will. It stems from the back of the case where you can see a destroyed town. In my early days when I first came to Bruma and fell in love with the town, I was afraid that Bruma could be ruined just like that if I progressed along the MQ and triggered it. Now I know it's Kvatch but I still don't want gates popping up and ruin the beautiful landscape. Also, RP-wise I can't explain why Lothran has kept the amulet for 14 years when he was supposed to immediately give it to Jauffre.

Wasn't there a popup that basically said you didn't have to beeline that quest though?

It's been a while.

Might reinstall it someday. Not looking forward to having to mod it again. New computer since my last install.

Speaking of oblivion gates, I actually have a mod installed in Skyrim that adds the ruins of Oblivion gates. Since, well, the crisis happened and they can't possibly all have just disappeared entirely.

Well, you do get a popup when exiting the sewers saying you can head out in any direction. Thus more or less saying you can disregard the MQ if you want, I guess.

That's pretty nifty.

That's the popup I'm thinking of.

I'm a sucker for graphical mods and there's one that reduces the potato headedness that plagues the game.

Too bad third player animations are bad. I prefer third person for everything but bows and aimed spells.

I've never minded Oblivion heads. They look normal for the game to me.

Coming from Morrowind, the pacing of Oblivion was shocking. It’s like full head of steam right out the gate, if you’ll pardon the pun. Sure, Morrowind had that thing at the beginning where Azura says “you have been chosen”, but I always feel just fine taking my sweet time getting to the main quest. This is mainly due to the pacing of the quest. Caius Cosades actually tells you to come back to him when you are ready if you are below a certain level, which it is quite possible you will be. And that’s if you tell him you are ready to follow his orders. Then you actually have to do several parts of the MQ before you even really have an idea of what is going on, and then a bit more before you learn your potential role in the story. In Oblivion, on the other hand, you are faced with a doomsday scenario almost immediately. Yeah, it gives you the message that says you can go wherever, but the way Uriel and Baurus talk, it just never felt right, to me, to go anywhere but Weynon Priory after spending a little time in the IC.

I always beelined for that alyeid ruin just outside the sewer.

[mirocu]

Farewell, February. We hardly knew ye

[Sakiri]

*I was gonna quote The Room here but figured it wasn't really appropriate

[Sakiri]

I'm reading reddit and watching Enai have an aneurysm on discord.

Or was, think he went to bed.

[mirocu]

Thought you were Skyriming?

[Sakiri]

It's after 8, I get off the computer at 8.

[mirocu]

Ah, yes. Still can't wrap my head around that as after eight I still have two more hours to go at my computer before bed

[Sakiri]

I am typically on it from the time I wake up til 8.

If I were still skyrimming I wouldn't be here. Lol.

[mirocu]

Oh, would you look at that. You got post number 63336

[Sakiri]

Lol

When Bethsoft closed in 2017, I made a serious effort to end with a similar post count which irked me a bit since I had to stop replying to others in order to keep that count


And my post count ended at 13931 though bear in mind many posts had been purged prior.

[Sakiri]

Ah. I miss those forums. Was some fun there.

The new ones are just ew.
