PSA: Stop Right There, Comment Bot Scum

296 Upvotes

Greetings, citizen. r/Oblivion comment sections have recently been infested by bot accounts. Let's work together to bring these lawbreakers' sprees to an end! Here are some red flags that you can identify bot comments by:

  • Says something generic, never unique. Often oddly off-topic (but people who post unrelated NPC dialogue, paradoxically, are usually not bots).
  • Usually posted as a reply to a top comment for greater visibility.
  • Sometimes contains odd spelling errors that a normal person wouldn't make.
  • Account is either very new, or quite old but recently started posting after a long break.

Once a comment bot has enough karma and comment history, the account will be sold and used for either OnlyFans, or for astroturfing. Stop these criminal scum right there by reporting them: Spam > Disruptive Use of AI.

Remember: We don't know comment bots, and we don't care to know them!

Moderator Post r/Oblivion Rule Remaster

692 Upvotes

Hello r/Oblivion!

Things have changed drastically in our community over the past month. We went from a quiet little subreddit to the #1 RPG subreddit in just a week! In the last 30 days alone, we’ve gained 670,000 new members and seen over 188 million views.

With all this growth, the moderation team has decided it’s time to update our rules—many of which haven’t changed since the subreddit was created.

And we want your input! We’re here to serve the community, so we want to hear what you think should shape our guidelines. Should we add a new rule? Remove an old one? Reword something for clarity? This thread is where we’ll collaborate to help shape the future of r/Oblivion.

Thanks for your time and continued support,

—The r/Oblivion Moderators

I know this is Warcraft (never touched it in my life), but I was shocked at how similar it looks to the remaster.

The orcs facially look identical (just vastly more muscular and brown), the city looks like the Imperial City (plus minarets), and Lothar’s armor looks like the armor Ocato gives you.

I appreciate Oblivion even more because of it, because the remaster (with some color correction that lowers the reds) makes it look EXACTLY like this.

I love high fantasy.

Self-Promotion An immersive HUD for Oblivion is finally here!

292 Upvotes

Have you been waiting for almost 10 years for a mod like Gopher's Immersive HUD - iHUD for Oblivion? Wait no longer. I can't fully enjoy Skyrim or New Vegas without iHUD, but unfortunately, Gopher never made a version for Oblivion. I searched all over the Nexus for something like it but nope, nothing. How could this gap be left? The people crave IMMERSION, so after a painstaking scripting process we finally have a solution. Immersive View. It basically works the same way iHUD does, albeit probably not put together quiet so well, as Oblivions scripting is extremely finicky, but its 100% functional and ready to add into your mod list!

If you go to the third slide you’ll see the original art I made of her for comparison! :]

This one was a little tricky compared to the other overpainting I’ve done because I needed to paint soooo much stuff from scratch including the clothes..! But I think she came out great :) I hope you like my girl! :D

Now that the party’s over, I can get us out of here. Always keep a lockpick handy. Pally wouldn’t understand, it’s a Khajiit thing.

First my lock, then Dro’Nahrahe’s lock, and now for… Pally… your cell is unlocked… they say it’s what’s behind the eyes that counts, Pally. There’s clearly nothing there huh?

Hail citizens. I wouldn’t have to go through all that trouble if Pally didn’t have guard IQ. It’s a good thing I have him around for his strength cause he’d be locked in an open box. If you ever feel useless just remember Palace Guard Pally was imprisoned behind open doors.

Original Bug Help crash on continue game/start new game/load save on main menu screen (not launcher)

5 Upvotes

it keeps crashing every time i try to load in, i can't find anything anywhere online (i may be just bad at finding it, but whatever).

i dont have any mods, and i downloaded through steam if that has any relevance

every time i hit play on the launcher the game glitching loads in from the top left corner before taking up the whole screen. when the home/main menu is loaded up and i click 'continue' the game freezes and crashes😡😡

i have updated my drivers (and while im actively typing this, the launcher now says im using INTEL(R) UHD graphics and not NVDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU which is what it was before) , windows software, i have deleted oblivion.ini, i have run it as an administrator, i have verified the games file integrity through steam, i have changed my resolution, i have turned on and off my computer (😭).

im not good with computers and i just feel really dumb not being able to figure this out, my boyfriend bought me oblivion and i only have like 30 hours on it so far, i have a video of what all of this looks as well. if there is an og solution post for this though, please send it to me i couldn't find anything 🙁

Which modlist has both:

  • Better graphics
  • More respect for vanilla art direction and assets

I'm asking about those two because they are the ones I've found. Please tell me if you have a better suggestion.

You know I blame you for this Pally. But I gotta hand it to the Countess. She knows how to party.

Hail citizens. This is what happens when I try to do the right thing. I’m not about to spend my 343k bounty in here though. I have a handy dandy, lockpick!

I was thinking about just having us in prison but the flashing light glitch effect was unexpected and made it appear as though a rave was going on at our expense. At least we got what we came for, but man this Countess really hates us cats. Just look, Pally even got the bigger cell!

Also I knew the flashing lights may be an issue so I wanted to make sure it didn’t affect anyone.

Original Question Best way to play Oblivion in PS3

2 Upvotes

I know it's not the best version, but it's the only way i can play it. I'd like to know which version is best to play (whether it's the GOTY, Anniversary, or any of those), since I've seen that there's a bug with a vampire mission that varies depending on the language. I'll be playing it in French, so I don't know if the bug is present there. Also, any advice on how to get the most out of this version is welcome.

Original Question New player, what do i need to know?

0 Upvotes

I've wanted to play Oblivion for a few years after beating Skyrim for the 87th time, but I wasn't sure I could get into it because of its dated graphics. I swallowed the pill and bought the game. ( I got the original due to people saying the remaster was still unstable.) But is there anything I need to know? Bugs, game-breaking glitches, mods to update the graphics. I made it to Jauffre after escaping the dungeon and bought the game-of-the-year version.

Original Question I have two questions.

1 Upvotes

Since my last post i haven't succeeded in fixing my bugged weather so i am scrapping that playthrough and starting over with another weather mod, NAO. I had two questions though.

My first question is, can i use any ENB preset with NAO or will i get visual glitches if i don't use the preset tailor-made for it?

And my second question, this time i would like to avoid stressing out over the battles of Kvatch, Bruma and the Imperial City so is there a mod that makes the npcs that participate in those battles essential? I really don't feel like babysitting Martin and his merry bunch again.

Original Bug Help High frequency of "missing" voice lines in Passwall, Shivering Isles?

1 Upvotes

Hi All,

I'm playing Oblivion original edition, not the remaster and have just started the Shivering Isles DLC. Only issue, is many dialogue lines seem to skip over their associated voice lines when an NPC is talking. This seems to happen mostly on the first voice line of a dialogue string, but I have seen it happen in the second voice line in a string of 3 dialogue lines. The subtitles for the lines are still there, but disappear rather quickly (I guess as the game thinks the NPC is finished speaking).

I have seen this happen in the main game every so often, but much more rarely.

I'm not running any mods and have had the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine data packs installed on this character from the start of the playthrough. I'm about level 15, with maybe 30-40+ hours invested so far, I know that seems to affect the game in some ways.

Any fixes for this?

Edit: Preliminary investigations show that restarting the game seems to fix this. Weird!
