I LOVE GIGGS on 24 July 2013

I played this game on my Xbox in 2006. I bought it on Steam yesterday and I'm planing to play it again.

It's like playing a new game since I forgot everything about it. 

Do you know a good mod that improve the graphics?

Do you know a good RPG, that still looks good and available in Steam, not on the list below?

- Fallout series.

- Elder Scroll series.

- Mass Effect series.

- The Witcher series.

- Knight of the Old Republic

The irony is, most of my modding with oblivion was done to improve performance, not graphics. - To run it on PC specs similar to the Original Xbox.

However, I would go:
1) Oblivion Character Overhaul
2) Better Cities
3) Unique Landscapes
4) Vibrant Weather
5) Immersive Interiors
6) Oblivion Graphics Extender
7) Improved Trees and Flora
8) Enhanced Water
9) 4096X4096 Border Regions LOD
10) Detailed Terrain
11) Oblivion Grass Overhaul
12) Qarls Texture Pack
12) Everything Viewable When Distant
13) BlackDragons Ultra HDR (If you don't use Oblivion Graphics Extender)

For other RPG's, look at Dragon Age: Origins (Mod that too!), Fable and Neverwinter Nights.

I have a powerful computer, it can run this game easily.

What I understood from this list is that I can install more several mods at once! I didn't know that!

Is it easy to install them?

I played Dragon Age and Fable on my Xbox. I'll check Neverwinter Nights.

 

Thank you.

Best place to start. I've modded Oblivion more than any other game, so if you need help, shoot me a PM. Btw, no matter how powerful your PC is, with a good deal of the mods, you can run into performance issues. But, as I said, any issues, shoot me a mssg.


Thank you. 

Actually I don't know how powerful my computer is, but from the price I payed, I assumed it is very powerful.

 

GTX 670 (4 GB)

i7 @3.90 Ghz

8 GB RAM (5 GDDR)

The best or the most expensive motherboard I found, which I found later that it has a video card (included) I never used.

That's plenty of power for the Vanilla version. No worries. In fact, it's plenty for modding, just grab some performance ones as well.


What is "Vanilla version"? Is it a mod? Will it be enough by it self (for graphics)?

Enjoy your second play through. Much better game than Skyrim.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Dragon Age: Origins
Dark Souls
Some love Mount & Blade but I personally don't care for it at all.

And Nexus Mods as many have said. Download the mod manager; it makes everything much easier.

It's more of a gameplay tweak but I really like "Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul" so every monster and item in the game is not levelled to you. Bandits no longer mysteriously spawning glass armor when you hit a certain level FTW!

NMM? I wouldn't! OMM is where it's at.


What are NMM and OMM? Sorry for bothering you, but I really don't know anything about this stuff. This is the first time I try to download a mod.

GDDR5 for system memory? I think you mean DDR3 since GDDR5 on a PC is used only in graphics cards
