First of all, no, I'm not asking for an illegal free version of the game.

My dilemma is : I received Oblivion GotY edition about a year or two ago as a Christmas gift. I installed it on my sisters computer, as it was the only one in the house that could run it. About two weeks later, my sister decided I was no longer allowed to use her computer, meaning I couldn't play Oblivion. So, before deleting the files off of her computer, I copied them to my external hard drive in case I had an opportunity to use it in the future.

Now, I have my own computer capable of running the game, but when I tried running the game from my external hard drive, I quickly realized the game wouldn't launch without a disk. My copy of the disk was long ago lost, and I have no idea where it is now.

I still have all the files, and the DLC I owned on my external hard drive, and I'm hoping there's some way I can play the game without the disk rather than having to buy myself a new copy. Any help is appreciated.

There is no way to do so legally and its not allowed to be discussed here.

Guess I'm stuck buying the game again then. A question though : I won't have to purchase all of my DLC again correct? Just the game disk for Oblivion itself?

If you have the DLCs backed up then no.

Alright, things aren't too bad then. Thanks for your help.

If the price is right, you might look at the GOTY version - that would give you everything in one package...

It looks like everything is tied up nicely, and with no inappropriate suggestions or what not - thanks guys


The GOTY edition doesn't contain the DLC, but it does have Shivering Isles. There was a separate Knights of the Nine pack that came with all of the DLC (except Battlehorn Castle)
