As is pretty obvious by now, I’m a bit of an Oblivion addict.
One of the great things of the game, is its ability to be epic in scope.  As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m currently replaying the game, and the other day, I took time away from the main quest to replay the Knights of the [...]

Kind of a follow up post this. Since I’d ranted about the grief I had installing the Oblivion mod, it seemed only fair to mention how it played.
The mod in qestion was the Fighter’s Stronghold mod available from Oblivion Downloads. Filling in an obvious gap in their player housing mods, this one [...]

Ok, so I’m a bit of a hoarder in real life, and that transfers to my RPGs.
Anything that I got in Oblivion, either by defeating enemies, or completing quests that was interesting, or had a good story behind it, got stored in my trusty locker in the Bruma house.
I was also trying to collect full [...]

Well, after spending some time with Star Wars Galaxies, I’ve gotten sucked back into Oblivion.
I’ve now rolled a couple of new characters and started playing through the game again, although to keep things interesting, I’ve made both variations on a theme. The first I’ve designed as a stealth character. A thief/assassin who uses [...]

As mentioned below, I setup the mannequins mod in Oblivion the other night. Its really nice to have a good way of storing those nice suits of armour I just can’t bring myself to flog.

This mannequin sports the Imperial Dragon Armour you get for completing the main quest

While this one sports the [...]

Well, as predicted, I ended up playing with those Oblivion mods last night.
The mannequins mod (Reznod Mannequins) is a really nice bit of kit. As someone who collected various complete sets of armour in the game, and didn’t like throwing various nice outfits away, its great to have something to display them on. [...]

Although I’ve been playing Morrowind a bit recently, I ended up browsing the Oblivion mods listed under the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages today, and found a couple that look really neat.
One adds the ability to buy mannequins for your houses to display your armour on, while the other is an undersea house, just outside of [...]

Well, as promised, I played a bit more Morrowind last night. This time I decided to create a custom class, focusing on mage skills, but adding a few of my favourites (long blade, light armour, sneak and security), just so I’m not completely lost.
I’m also trying to avoid joining the fighters guild this time. [...]

Well, over the weekend, I completed the main quest for the Shivering Isles. Of course, there’s still a bunch of side quests I need to do, but completing it gave me itchy feet to play Morrowind again.
I bought Morrowind years ago, but missed out on the expansions. I’ve never played that deeply into [...]

Well, I managed to get through a couple of bouts in the Arena, but it was tough going. Fortunately I had just enough money to get myself a “Summon Scamp” spell. Given how much grief those sods gave me in Kvatch, I’m hoping it’ll make things a bit easier. I definitely need [...]
