Aaah, oblivion.
Funny everybody hates the game... but installing mods and check for stability is a game itself. Fun and addictive.
Works like this:
shit game, how can I improve? oh, some mods... install, bug. Go to forums, check compatibility... mod solution? management softwares, other mods... and so on.
finally, lets play... after playing for 10 mionutes, you realize you are playing the game not to progress the storyline, but to see the mod at work. Takes a long time, you get bored.
Exit the game, go look for other mods. In fact, more graphical improvements, so you can just see the mod at work imediately.
Get bored again. Give up playing, but do not uninstall the game after having the work of installing 70+ mods and reaching stabillity. 1 year pass. You decide to give it a try. You hear new mods are avaiable.
You have now a dilemma: are the new mods worth uninstalling the game and reinstalling everything again? Or should you just maintain old mods and install more? will your save game of 10 minutes of gameplay still work? So you restart the cicle.
The strange part is, you get satisfied after successfully installing 100+ mods and be assured it's stable. So satisfied that you just see that the game itself can never bring a greater satisfaction.
Morrowind had the same situation.
