heh...well people DO tend to gravitate to whats popular (making it even more popular). And OOO is popular for very good reasons, (FCOM is popular for the very bravest tweakers). TIE, though, deserves an honored place in the overhaul community, imo. There are many reasons I chose TIE...especially after I leaned about how the different mods actually handle world-leveling.

And, hey! I talk about TIE! :twirl:

Well I talk about TIE too, but I don't go out of my way to do it. It comes up in conversation. The best word of mouth, IMO, is what comes natural. Not just talking about something because it's popular

I love TIE, get fixes most of the problems i have with the game, and doesnt make the game scream "this is modded!!!!!" at me.

While it does seems a bit hard at first, good careful gameplay can let you get your levels up. Not to mention when you reach a dangerous place (like the kvatch gate), i tend to 'recruit' some of the power NPCs to help me (using share and recruit).

I egally await the next release

I was more making an observation. I went to all that effort to install FCOM...and then my toon gets taken out by a mouse.



Just being honest.



Exactly.

But its not really just about popularity, but support and synergy. For example, the travellers and crowded roads NPCs don't have (as CorePC called it) "Faction Protection". Now, if there were more people into TIE, maybe they would come out with a tweeked version of those mods that created faction protection. AND/or... people comming out with "TIE Convergence" mods that used TIE's non-level system as part of their design. Or a version of MMM (but not quite so many monsters and drop the crafting system) which also didn't rely on level lists, but would hand-place some mobs so that you wouldn't get too many lvl 30 creatures outside IC gates killing all the NPCs.

Anyway, I'm writing here also so as to bump this thread to the top...to give TIE more "word of mouth".

Is anyone out there?
How long are we talkin for 1.26???? I'm sure that quite a while ago I read it was "a couple of weeks away at the most"?

Put about 300 hours into a pure warrior character with OOO for the first time before going to Thailand with the misses for two weeks...was really hoping that a new thief character with TIE 1.26 (never used TIE before) would be my "come-down" fix, something to look forward to after my holiday...

Just got back to rainy England yesterday, and 1.26 isn't out! Noooo!

So anyone know how long we're talking? Need to get into Oblivion again, and didn't want to go with a new character using OOO if 1.26 is only a week away!

EDIT: Or perhaps i should just go with 1.25? you think I'd be missing out on much? what i liked the sound of was the changes in escaping prison...is that in 1.25?

My suggestion would be you could go with version 1.25 and enjoy alot of the thieving benefits. The escaping prison stuff mentioned seems to be more geared towards if you get tossed into prison by the watch, not the escape sequence. However, TIE has made the escape sequence much tougher and there is the "key" to pick up as you escape with a new character, that is needed to know where to start looking for the hideouts, so why not go ahead and then when 1.26 is ready you can just upgrade.

Go check out his website to see the video links - that will help you escape the Imperial prison. The website is http://www.dreamingthepyramid.net/TNR-home.html

Good luck with your thief character!

thanks man, will take your advice and just go with 1.25 for now
just wondering whether there would be anything that needed to be accessed in the 1.26 starter dungeon that I would miss if i used 1.25 and then upgraded later on.
but thats not likely to be the case is it?

EDIT: Also, I've read that TIE is compatible with alternative start by ship (which I want to try out) , but how can this be if there is something that needs to be collected in the starter dungeon?

I have TIE 1.25 and Alternative Start. I've started in both IC and Anvil. All you have to do is jog down to the dungeon behind the prison complex hill and get the stuff there. There's a dead rat and a container in the water to check.

Tie 1.26 will be cool, but not necessary to wait. Use the current one and upgrade whenever Veritas finishes it.

I also like a new character startup mod called Who Am I - Upbringing. Search for it and you won't be dissappointed

So....how's this going?

Read this..has it will explain what happened.

http://www.dreamingthepyramid.net/TNR-home.html

If any news it would be posted there and no new news since Oct 26 2009.

site down, dammit. last thing I've read on there though was that Veritas_Secreto has been banned from these forums IIRC..

It's not down. But as was already said, last news was posted on October 26. So there's nothing new to see yet. I'm sure he'll post something there when he's ready. Considering there's probably more than a couple of us who need to hear from him before the release anyway for various things.

I wonder what various actually did to get himself band

For the sake of the thread, it's probably best that the issue not be discussed here.

yeah, site is working now, but it didn't when I tried it yesterday. that got me scared.

I have the same question with MrSoprano!! )

if you get TIE Integration Revised, or TIE4MODS, they won't conflict at all. but, people were having a couple issues with those ( possibly only with the first one though, TIE4MODS should be fine. it IS based on an outdated version of TIE though ) . my personal advice is to wait till 1.26 comes out and some good soul decides to update and fix TIE Integration Revised. admittedly, that could take a while.

I am currently playing as obsessed another great RPG (Dragon Age) but i miss the freedom of Oblivion which i never actually started because of the many mods ( i was a mod-addict, i was installing and trying all those mods but in the process i missed the whole point, which is to 'play' the game as it is....) :facepalm:

My point is that i can wait a bit, until TIE 1.26 comes and the new FCOM ...and then i'll start with those great and basic mods and i'll never look back!!! :celebration: :foodndrink:

I can't wait anymore this mod :liplick:

Anyone can confirm the Eta release ? Only a mine curiosity, i just read the post of Dreaming the pyramids about the Eta release (X-mas), but with the dismiss of Veritas from this forum (and this topic also), some news about the mod progress can be very accepted

I am about to start a new charatcer. I think i'm going to give this mod a shot. I have always used OOOMMM. But, i have heard a lot of good things about this mod. I am just hoping mods like Living Economy and Deadly Reflex are compatible.

sure, but use enhanced economy instead of living economy.

Woot, new post about TIE 1.26 on his http://www.dreamingthepyramid.net/TNR-home.html
He's added in a bit of custom loot, some new types of guards and more npcs " and other introductions and tweaks" and the next update he says is within a week ...."or so." :hehe:

How well does this mod work with Reneer's Guard Overhall? Are they compatible?

that's great news
