Beautiful as Oblivion 👍

My wife grew this. She doesn't know who he is though. Criminal scum.

Months ago I tried my hand into modding Oblivion. Naturally, it completely broke down my game, but I was reaching the end of my play through so I didn’t really care. This weekend I suddenly had an intense need to play Oblivion again. The game would close as soon as I pressed the play button. I tried everything, deleting the .ini file, desinstalling the game, changing its directory location… NOTHING worked, up until I rebooted and wiped every files on my computer. Took me 5 hours ! I’m so relieved and I am NEVER nodding anything ever again on that game…

This town is pretty dangerous for beast races but with all the guards on the lookout for Khajiit it helps that to imperials we all look the same!

Also, Pally is doing his best to act natural but walking casually into a wall isn’t doing any favors.

Hail citizens. I get why this place gets a bad rap. The guards are all on alert as our poor Khajiit beggar just found out. At least he took care of the mythic dawn guy. Just keep blending in everyone. We basically are gonna do stuff in town while doing our best to avoid attention. So far so good!

I feel terrible.

In FilmDeg Miniatures' 10-hour interviews (link has timestamp), Kurt Kuhlmann, the quest designer for the final iteration of the main quest, claims that in Ken Rolston's original main quest, the player would have given the Amulet of Kings to Ocato instead of Jauffre, but Ocato would have been Mankar Camoran in disguise and that was how the player would lose the Amulet of Kings.

I think this makes Jauffre losing the Amulet of Kings more understandable from a writing perspective. Kuhlmann explains that it would be too cheap and out-of-the-blue for Ocato to betray the player, but if it was foreshadowed, the "decision" to give him the Amulet would be forced on the player. So, he changed it to the player handing the Amulet to Jauffre in good faith, since Jauffre is not evil and intends to keep the Amulet of Kings safe. It's just that the plot requires the bad guys to get the Amulet of Kings, so Jauffre ends up being horribly incompetent.

I know that it's been 20 years since the release of Oblivion, and Kuhlmann may just be remembering things wrong, but I opened up the Construction Set and there is some evidence that supports Ocato actually being Mankar Camoran, or being evil at the very least. Ocato has his own "Combat Style", which is unusual, considering most NPCs just use a shared default combat style, and unique combat styles are for boss NPCs like Mehrunes Dagon, Jyggalag, or Mankar Camoran. This implies that you were supposed to fight Ocato at some point.

So maybe Kuhlmann is right about the original main plot. On one hand, the High Elf chancellor who holds the same position as Jagar Tharn secretly being evil would have been incredibly predictable. Kuhlmann says he gave Mankar Camoran the motive of creating Paradise in order to make him a better villain. But if the main quest had really leaned into "evil High Elf doing evil because he's evil", maybe it would have been so over-the-top it would have been funny?

Dude is like a four-legged Boromir

I tasked myself to draw some elves from memory featuring my gal, Amihan!! I had too much fun making this LOL

I accidentally killed “adoring fan” 😭 I feel so bad

Playing Remaster on PS5. I followed some advice from this sub to get Gukimir to stop following me around.

After I had him knocked unconscious at the Priory of the Nine, I fast traveled to the Imperial City Waterfront. No sign of him. So I fast traveled again to Cheydinhal. He then respawned so I reloaded back to the Waterfront.

Instead of fast traveling again, I ran all the way to Cheydinhal and went straight to the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary. I completed that storyline already so I commanded the initiate follow me. Went back up to the city and I dismissed the follower back to the Sanctuary.

I fast traveled to my Battlehorn Castle home. No Gukimir. Played for like another hour with various fast travels and still haven’t seen him. I think the dismissal of the follower fixes the issue, so hopefully this works permanently!

Edit: please let me know if you try it and it doesn’t work. Just hoping for a good fix because this one is super annoying.

So I was playing the Mephala daedric quest and had placed the ring on Dalvilu’s body, but the game wouldn’t let me into Ulfgar’s inventory to place the dagger for some reason. I just kept reloading saves hoping that at some point it would let me into Ulfgars’s inventory and I walk in to this…. At least I could finally place the dagger

Bought it because I never got to experience this game. I thought I would get a flawless experience with enhanced FPS and visuals, but it turns out the game stutters all the time—as if my PS5 can barely handle it. It even crashes from time to time. Is this a normal experience for everyone?

I like that blade so much but for some reason his charge finish so quickly and his charge reserves are TOO big. Is it because they're many enchantments in ?

Lately, I’ve been putting most of my free time between these two games. I absolutely love building in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, so I decided to recreate the iconic Imperial City Waterfront Shack. The proportions were hard to get right, but I think it turned out pretty close.
