Hi everyone!

It's been about 3 years since I bought this amazing game. I had played Morrowind a lot before and, despite I've never made it through the whole main quest (shame on me), I had ton of fun with all kinds of mods. Then I bought Oblivion. I have played it for about 1 year. I tried quite high number of mods and had a blast playing this game. Unfortunately, a RL issues came in, I didn't have much time to play, my game was full of different modification which made it nearly unplayable and I quickly lost interest of it. I have never completed MQ, nor the expansion, which was one of the things that made me want to play it again.

Now, nearly 2 years after I played Oblivion last time, I have found this small, dusty box in my drawer. I didn't thought long and immediately put it into my PC and installed it. I have even found my old forum account(I wan't much active tho). Still, it feels awesome to be again member of The Elder Scrolls community.

P.S.: I apologize if it's in wrong section. I wasn't sure on where to post it.
P.S.S: Excuse any grammar mistakes I made. English is not my native language.

Well, what can I say? Welcome back :icecream:

I′ve been playing actively for almost four years and haven′t even touched the main quests. Never felt the need for it

You just have to do the main quest, it's a right of passage.

Nah, never been a fan of big empires so I don′t want to help them out

I really hope Bethesda makes at least one game in the series that does not ask the player to aid the Empire. I do not want to be forced to join the Blades yet again.

Altheus, welcome back! Are you planning to use mods this time?

Yep, first though, I want to do at least main quest without any modifications. Even the visual ones. You know, it always begins in detailed character skins, continues in better looking cities and wilderness and then ends with you riding dragon mount. :laugh: :blink:

Anyway, thanks for replies guys

I respect that, but you should at least install the unofficial patches. They're not even *technically* mods, but tons (many thousands, to be exact) of bugfixes.

Besides, as you're on PC, a friendly advice...DON'T learn to use the CS. Once you do it, you get irremediably svcked into a new level of Oblivion addiction (especially when you want to create you perfect house...and ESPECIALLY when you discover all the excellent modder resources out there ).

The main quest is fun to do, as is the Shivering Isles (If that is indeed the expansion you were talking about). Only one of my characters has done the main quest, the others just ignore it. There's so much to do in Cyrodiil. (And I'm playing on Xbox so there are no mods!) ^_^

Just do the main quest until the gates open.

Gotta learn some self-control, too!

I already played with CS way back. I swear I could spend HOURS making stuff :wacko:

I know Unofficial patch, but I want my first game through MQ to be complete vanilla. Just to get myself through the main quest. After that, I will start using mods.

As for self-control...well, it's not one of my strong points.

Yeah, that's the modders' curse...you begin, then say "I want to do it somewhat better...I'm going to learn to do this...and add that, and that, and that, and that......", and when you realize, you're already late to...everything you had to do in RL (lol).

I am also a returning player. This probably my 100th time returning to the game. I've had this since the PS3 release and played it for almost 3 years straight. Then I took a few breaks but when ever I get the urge to play I usually do and I usually play it for 12 hours straight. My longest playthrough was 48 hours straight, it was a weekend and I was dared to do it for money. Easiest and most fun money earned, took breaks to eat and drink energy drinks though, but I was reading the in game books while doing so. My eyes hurt after but it was fun.
