Oblivion

So it gives no problem with Francesco overhaul?

[Okulo]

Not that I know of. I guess it depends what you activate.

I seems OBSE has problem capturing keys, do you experience something similar?

[Okulo]

No, but I am playing with the default layout. What keys are those?

[ezze]

I did not try with cobl directly, but stuff like this. For certain RefScope keys do not work. Fortunately you can take the information using the console.

Has anyone tried to use pyffi to optimise the oblivion meshes? According to http://www.tessearch.com/mods/26108/PyFFI-Patch-Scripts and http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php?ti ... timization
there is a way to optimise the NIF meshes made by bethesda. Anyone know about this?
Does anyone know if this works for morrowind?

I'd assume it would work for Morrowind if it works for Oblivion in a model sense, but it's likely unnecessary for Morrowind-if the models are giving you trouble in OpenMW or Morrowind itself, you're likely on hardware that would never do well with them.

The game is quite nice, but I have some problems staying alive. Overall in the wilderness sometime appears some overwhelming monsters (for example I meet a giant mudcrab), and even if I stick to the road in some cases are 5 or so bandits... What Realistic Levelling settings do you use? Or any suggestion how to make the character?


Here is my Realistic Levelling ini file, the rest is default:

Code: Select all

set aaRealisticLeveling.mode to 2		; default = 3
set aaRealisticLeveling.luckMult to 0.2500	; default = 0.2
setGS fSkillUseFactor 0.35
setGS fSkillUseMajorMult	1
setGS fSkillUseMinorMult	1
setGS fSkillUseSpecMult	1

Coming from morrowind to oblivion may take some getting used to. I can give you some advice, but it kinda can be a type of cheat/spoiler:

Spoiler: Show

For staying alive advice, I recommend using fast travel because its dangerous wandering around until you level up a time or two.
I don't know your playing style, so these next two might not be your choice; but in the first few levels you have to grab up on everything and sell it so as to keep money for healing stuff such as nights at the inn/healing potions from mages guilds (highly recommended).
Also, when in an area where there is danger, sneak a lot. Not only for surprise effect but because the "eye" displays if something sees you and you can try to prepare properly (which usually means backpedaling and drawing a weapon/readying a spell or item)

also here is a recommendation where I think it is easy to start out: (definately a spoiler)

Spoiler: Show

If I were to recommend an area to start in, try anvil. lots of services, cheaper house to buy, and I go clear out the castle ruins that are just outside to the west. I wander to allow reset but return over and over again to this area as the dungeons and all chests/items repopulate. Once you have enough money to buy the manor in anvil, you then can keep items and rest without problems such as items disappearing from unowned chests or paying for healing at an inn

I understand completely if you choose to ignore this post, as to me the best thing about these games is the discovery of a world that you haven't explored (or had someone explore and then ruin it with spoilers)

ST
ps, haven't played too far into this game as I stopped after encountering a bug. Cannot stress enough: get and apply the bugfixes

I never fast travel because I need the xp. Perhaps I get to stay alive because I have just the right combination of skills, I don't know. This is my ini file (sans lines that are commented out):

Code: Select all

set aaRealisticLeveling.mode to 3							  ; default = 3
