Codexia's Fallout 3 recommended mods.

That screenshot would probably look better without all of the bloom.

What's your point? No matter how bad it may be at least Oblivion still resembles a TES game. That alone gives Oblivion an advantage over Fallout 3.

My point was that both are pretty much the same game and neither is what I'd call a real entry in the series where their name places them. The difference on the Fallout side may be more obvious because of perspective and 2D vs 3D but Oblivion manages to not be a TES game in so many ways it's no even funny. That said I'm not really disagreeing with what you said.

Morrowind still wins, lulz!

Is that with MGE or something similar? because I'm sure you can get much better shots than this with Morrowind.

Aye. I honestly have no idea how far you can take it. Looks pretty good to me, though.

Yes.

Yes, letting a rat maul you and your shield in a sewer for 40 minutes so you can improve block and armor skill just so your character won't be gimped by low endurance and then going around killing crabs with fists and rusty iron daggers so you can deal damage with a real weapon all the while spamming utility spells so you can have more mana is FUN!

Easily fixable by the use of this mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15619

Makes Oblivion even more rpgish.

Yeah, i know, but honestly, the game just isn't worth it to mod the shit out of it, for me. I've tried numerous times, and every time i was thrown back, with a bitter taste in my mouth.

+ the whole point was what game is better out of the box, hmm?

I enjoy fallout 3 much more because at least the dungeons and places to explore arent just randomly generated places of the same type over and over again.

Granted in F03 each place you explore boils down to combat, but I still enjoy exploring in F3 far more than Oblivion.

Metro Tunnels.


Metro Tunnels.


Metro Tunnels.


And some of them you *have* to go through just to get to large portions of Downtown.


Those tunnels with Ghoul after Ghoul are one of the most monotonous things in gaming.

ah, the german uniform mod.

i had it too.

For quest mods, Puce Moose is one of the most prolific modders. Better yet, they don't rely on 'blow a lot of shit up' to fill in the content.



These first three are part of a series, in order;

More or less a complete overhaul of the slaver system.

I tried to turn it into at least an average FPS with FUUUUUUU 2, FWE, Iron Sights only, Monster Mod whatever and two mods that made children and "important" NPCs killable. Cranking weapon deterioration and item scarcity to the max boosted artificially the difficulty, and at first it was good for what it was(with mods), in a total "explore and kill everything" way of playing this shit that relied on mostly ignoring the stupid main plotline and treating it like a Doom clone.

The game was at least challenging as a FPS with the Fallout Wanderers Edition mod, to the extent sniping a dumb orc with a hunting rifle without scope is at the first time you do it, but as soon as I ended seeing copypasta after copypasta from exploring it and ignoring the retard beacon, and it felt like if it was an offline MMORPG, something not even a divinely created mod could change, I gave up on the below average and repetitive shooter the mods made it like, and I'm pretty sure it's a total piece of shit without mods, one I'd have given up only after 15 minutes.

tl;dr No mod can fix this shit. Some may hide the smell for a while like strong perfumes, but in the end it's still a shitty offline MMOFPLARP.
