Suggestions request

Post » Wed May 02, 2012 3:23 pm

So I'm going to get a new computer in a short while (still shopping for parts and sparing cash) and I plan on playing a heavily modded Oblivion on it. I already have the game for my old computer although it won't handle much, but anyways, that's not the subject.

So my request is, while I do have ideas about what kind of balance and content mods I'll use, I want your advice on the "outside the hood" part, so basically, the graphics, sounds, weather, NPCs... you know, anything that changes the game without changing its content too much.

I already have a few ideas but I need your suggestions, as I really, REALLY want it to look great (Skyrim on 360 kinda spoiled me as far as looks go, but I prefer OB in terms of content)

oh BTW, don't hold back. I don't care if the mod's a ram-intensive one, or simply one that asks a LOT out of the graphics or sound card. I'm getting a good gaming computer that I plan on keeping for a while, so I'm taking the best parts I can find.


Once I get it I plan on posting a few screenies too, just to show my gratitude at first, and also 'cause I have a few ideas of original stuff I plan on making

EDIT: Also, a few combat mods would be good. Nothing too anime-ish, I'm not planning on doing a ninja, but just something to make it more challenging without making it tedious

Combat: Duke Patrick's Melee and Archery. Challenging, realistic, not anime.
They are two separate mods:
Melee Combat No Recoil
Combat Archery

Well thanks to you two! Looks like I'm gonna have a bit of a job to do to get all these installed, but in the end it's SO gonna be worth it! Can't wait!
