It's nice to know this is still being updated.

Can't wait for the release, man, keep up the good work.

A quick idea I had, is it possible to make it so that there are more spawn points in the main quest areas, but an overall same chance of spawning enemies? As in, you have a 100% chance to have a spawn in one point, but instead make there be 5 places that a spawn could be with 20% chance? Or maybe make it so that enemies wander farther, or make more enemy travelers types? Possibly something like named dremora commanders, or goblins from other tribes scouting or stealing from tribes? One thing that gets to me every time I play the game is that in the main quest areas, especially in that first oblivion gate, I always know where the enemies are and more or less how many are there, even when I havn't seen an area. And oblivion gates in general seem to be kind of predictable to an extent.

Really looking forward to you releasing this!! It'll give Oblivion a new lease of life for me as I have played this amazing gaming experience over and over again. Been back in Morrowind for the last month or so but keen to get back to Cyrodiil.

You do great work, Veritas, keep it up!

I'm looking forward to this eagerly. I played Morrowind and Fallout3.
I got Oblivion GOTY recently and have played it partway , vanilla. I'm totally new
to modding but have been seeing great things about Obliv mods.
OOO looked very interesting but complex, and I don't think I could figure out how
to install FCOM. Wrye website is defunct.

But TIE looks like it will satisfy what I want. I was a huge Thief fan back in the day
I think I would also like to try other enhancements that are compatible with TIE. Is there a list?

Really good news. I'll be using this when it's released, I want something different than OOO, and FCOM slows down my PC too much.

Yeepee! Yay! Yahoo! Happy to see T.I.E. is still alive and thriving making the world of OBLIVION a brutally real place to survive in.

Im wondering...is this a mod I should start the game over for? My character is at lvl 10 currently, and only partly done the main quest. I loaded up the current TIE mod and went to my last savegame. It worked fine except i was automatically over-burdened. Should i keep on or start over? Or maybe start over with this next version coming in a few days?

A small list of compatible mods is on the TIE page of my site (http://www.dreamingthepyramid.net/TNR-TIE.html). Also, for the person asking about whether they should start over at level 10, yeah - might be a good idea. Level 10 isn't very far in. Your choice.

Not too much longer now.

nar start over now upgrading is eazy just over right the esp and you may miss out on stuff if u do not stat over. Not to give any think away but you should see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS9aBuvoKfg

The only thing you likely NEED to do by incorporating this into an existing game is to use Wrye Bash's "relevel NPCs" function on your save. Otherwise you just need to load it and go.

but if he does that

Yes,

Or maybe place it in shallow water underneath the dock right outside the prison?

Ok, Im sold...I'll start afresh with new update coming.

So im making a new character...probably a wood elf. Want to sneak well and archery. Do I follow standard character creation? I read in FAQ that other creatures and npc's dont level up, but does player character level exactly the same as in vanilla oblivion? Does anyone here like any mods that tweak leveling, that wont conflict?

Yes, the player levels as in vanilla oblivion. In fact I'm pretty sure Veritas didn't change the levelling system at all for the character, meaning that you will level up as fast as in vanilla oblivion. I'm also pretty confident you can use any levelling mods since T.I.E. / S.I.E. don't touch the system.
I used nGCD on a previous character but I found that my character to be weaker than his counterpart without nGCD if you see what I mean.

Oh I feel like that commercial waiting at the door, tapping on the glass, saying "open open open"
;-)

so now that I've discovered mods, I'm going crazy. I never knew there were so many great intelligent people out thre making the game world such an awesomely better place. Kudos to you All for what you are doing. Bethseda made a great game but you modders make it even better. If the creation stories in Genesis were true, you guys could one-up God and finish up this world.

quick question on TIE compatibility with Living Economy. I have LE loading first but still the prices default to LE prices. For example most cluttt is back to $0 . I liked that TIE made clutter worth something.

I realize it takes work on my pArt to get mods to work and that's ok because it's a drop in the bucket compared to the effort you put into making these great mods. Thank you!

Here is the homepage of the MOD http://www.dreamingthepyramid.net/TNR-TIE.html

Scroll down to the bottom and there is a Compatable Mod section and see if your mod is listed there.

As far as load order, it depends on how many mods you are installing as to if you encounter conflicts. Thankfully Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) helps keep them in order but the sequence is a mod that is near the bottom of the list will overwrite any changes made by a mod higher up the list. In your Living Economy reference you may need to check out that readme to see if they make changes to prices of clutter. In TIE clutter does have a price so you would want TIE loading after LE and also check to make sure no other mod is loading after TIE that might change prices.

In my load order, LE loads way after TIE and my clutter still has prices on it. So it's likely to be something else?

Interesting Mod.
Since I'm playing an Assassin character I'm interested in stealth Entrances to town; there is one mod at TESNEXUs but it's not fully satisfying.
Today I attempted to "tweak" TIE 1.25 main esp with TESEdit. I deleted all references and let only "WordSpace", "Activators", "Containers". Deleted WordSpaces related to "Imperial City". What I need is only a light version of TIE with only the stealth entrances to town (no NPCs, no items, ... nothing more).

I've been a little sidetracked by work here lately. Just letting you all know that work is still being done on this and that I intend to put it out soon. No timeline yet sorry. Soon though.

Oh - by the way, Morerunes contributed a custom script allowing players to pay off bounties without having to join the Thieve's guild. I'll make sure it's both realistic and immersive in its implementation.

Ayleid People-

might want to check this out: http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=854466&view=findpost&p=13256319
the the rest of the thread for how to use it.

although i strongly recommend full TIE , there are more than one stealth entrance mod on tesnexus: this one is a good, simple mod: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13651 . have you tried it already?

Eagerly awaiting getting ahold of it to put on the OC final touches

Thank you I will take a look at that.


TIE is wonderful mod as design and idea, but the negative side I see on it is the special game settings he involve which make it incompatible with most others overhaul mods.


Oh didn't know that mod exists, sound interesting I will give it a try.
