I could do with humor, interesting facts, or anything really. I just want more of them. They got old in Oblivion because there are only a handful of them.

Just like most people: I wouldn't mind a joke here and there, but I definitely love the useful/informative facts

I don't want any loading screens.

As far as jokes goes, what about:
Please remember, while changing armour in the middle of battle isn't against the rules, It's highly looked down upon.

The Oblivion Funny Loadscreens has to be one of the best mods ever made.



Just sayin'.

One of the first mods I acquired were those that removed any text whatsoever from my loading screens.

Whether it's funny, informative, gameplay tips, whatever, I prefer to see none of it. Give me a nice filtered screenshot to stare at, and that's all I want.

They should be famous quotes from previous elder scrolls games, and what they may have said between Oblivion and Skyrim. Like new awesome Maig The Liar quotes.

I just hopethey don't spoil all the supposedly secret stuff and such like in Oblivion, talking about DB sanctuaries and all that.

I think a few will be funny, but none intentionally.

I remember a mod like this for Oblivion.

One of my favourites was; "Honest merchants have the ability to magically discern stolen items from legitimate ones."

If the loading screens between cells/levels/missions are done properly they can really contribute to the atmosphere and immersion of a game. Take the loading mission cutscenes from Thief 1 & 2 (I'm not talking about the animated story cutscenes here, although those were really impressive) but the 'static screens' with music and sound effects which displayed cryptic text from Keeper prophecies, Pagan lore and tenets from Hammerite and Mechanist writings, it really added depth and mystery to that particular game.

I wasn't really a fan of the OB loading screens which felt like an afterthought to me and a bit rushed.

Divinity 2 did this perfectly, as in the loading screens and the game itself.

Like others have said, I'd rather just have lore, interesting facts etc.

I like lore and intersting facts, but a large variety would be prefered.

These hints were made possible by a band of 100 in a different universe.
Don't try to ride dragons. It's NOT implemented!
Once you learn a dragon shout you also need to learn to maintain your temper.
Don't ask an Argonian to polish your spear. They won't take it literally.

Well I was playing oblivion the other day and I noticed the loading screens were kind of boring. I would love it if they but some sort of humor in like

Some believe that there are only 6,999 steps to the top of the throat of the world. Not mine by the way.

Tell me any ideas you might have for loading screen humor!


best loadingscreen tip ive seen is from magicka

"dont drink and drive"
