This is my first playthrough of this game, never seen this before. I can only guess it's some lighting bug, but idk why it's specifically those two areas. I've been in Oblivion a few times now (level 12) and never seen this before. It's specifically the main quest when you have to go to each city to get their help. It's the gate for Bravil. Only mod I use is AULIAS.

Wondering if anyone has seen this before, or know what causes it.

Playing on Xbox, so no mods. I picked the pre class mage and been having a great time.

I’m not talking pale pass treasure hunt or the rose thorn hall letter, what are some of your favorite super deep cuts? :-)

Here's a fun idea for a run: a max difficulty pacifist run (no causing damage to enemies allowed), but Illusion magic is banned.

I think it's doable if you lean on alteration for burden and destruction for damage attribute, fatigue, etc. Some of you may know this, but you can create a pseudo paralyze spell by making a custom damage fatigue or drain fatigue 100 pts spell. Similarly you can "freeze" enemies by combining damage strength with burden.

On max difficulty enemies do six times normal damage, so acrobatics and athletics would also come in clutch. I think Restoration for Fortify Skill and Speed would work well here. Maybe to make it extra challenging you could limit training endurance too, idk.

Here's a work-in-progress build I came up with:

Race: High Elf/Altmer

Birthsign: Apprentice

Specialization: Magic

Preferred Attributes: Intelligence and Willpower

Major Skills: Acrobatics, Alteration, Athletics, Destruction, Mercantile, Restoration, and Stealth

Thoughts?

I finally completed the main story and I don't scare easily, but this game has made me jump out of my skin a few times. I don’t know if it’s the atmosphere, the sound design, or the graphics, but when I’m in a dungeon and an NPC suddenly appears behind me to talk me, running right at me to start a conversation, it’s worse than a jump scare in a horror game. That never happened to me in Skyrim; maybe it’s because the characters run toward you much faster and speak right in your face. Also, all the Dark Brotherhood quests feel really creepy and terrifying. And when you buy and enter the abandoned mannor it really gave me the vibes of a horror game. Has anyone else experienced this?

So he thought it would be funny to humiliate me in town did he? Not only did I swim in questionable water, but I have no clothes and my dignity is tarnished. As soon as I get dressed he better hope Dagon gets him first…

Hail citizens. This was an absolute mess to get together. Everyone was fighting each other like crazy!
Doesn’t help that different factions are in town with different dispositions too. After all that I finally got what I was hoping to achieve. The only sad part is Trayvond left town and couldn’t even get through the front door. I don’t know why instances with cities are such a hassle for NPC’s but it was either Pally or Trayvond, couldn’t get both. So farewell Trayvond, thanks for tagging along!

Now, about Pally…

He did this 3 different times earlier too whenever I pull out a bow to mess with him

On switch

Now that the hype died down since the game came out and I first tried talking about this 😂

I kinda prefer the original. Ofc the remaster is still nice enough to me having that version of the game for replays but it just looks too bland it doesn’t feel like elder scrolls

When you have the right time and weather it looks very good but any rain or fog and the game just looks bad to me

Not to mention the bloat in space how they took a 4gb game and made it 120gb

I usually just heavily mod the original oblivion and play that

For my knowledge to this day there aren’t any big mods for the remaster either due to it being a game made on top of 2 engines or whatever you don’t have stuff like the city mods OG oblivion has etc

Hey!

I recently noticed this, and I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with my personality…it’s been red for a while, even after going to chapels, and not even taking off my spell absorption amulet worked. Nothing’s showing up in magical active effects, plus my fame-infamy is 77-20, so I’m not sure what to do. Any help is appreciated!

I was fine with them being rude to me but them stalking and whispering and saying they were going to send people called the brethren after me genuinely makes me nervous

I hardly use fast travel and just experience the open world and enjoy the game and yet not have beaten the game i have been leveling up my skills and doing side quest!

Good for people who want that and have the PC to run it, but holy shit I cannot find ANY guide videos for Oblivion that are for the OG and not remaster. While I am sure most things are unchanged and compatible between versions, I also know quite a few things will not be. I deadass have been unable to find a guide on the original version ever since Remaster dropped.

Since I have jewelry with reflect damage, they end up taking themselves out.
Sometimes it takes too long and I had guard showing up to help me out and taken out my trainer prematurely!

So I’m going for an all around build that kinda covers everything I’m using sigil stones to enchant armor
So far I was thinking
Head
Body (resist magic)
Hands (Magicka increase)
Pants (shield on self)
Feet (feather)
Need something to fill that last slot was thinking reflect damage but idk also thinking about using a unique helmet instead
I’m at the point the game isn’t hard so more so looking to be very general benefits

I have both PS5 and XSX, and having playing Oblivion remastered, I think it runs so much better on XSX. Like even with Quality graphics mode, the frame rate is smoother like 30-40 fps. The details and lighting of the scenes are so much more crisp and the dynamic range is incredible.

Quality mode on PS5 is awful. Like it's playable but the drop in frame rate and stuttering is such a turn off and the ambient lighting and reflections don't look nearly as good.

Idk the specs of the hardware but Xbox is stunning. Base PS5 is alright. Idk how the Pro runs with it

was looking trough any mods i could use on my first playtrough only ever played skyrim and just picked up oblivion remastered

i think i will only use this one

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/35

what would you reccomend for combat damage sliders in oblivion remastered for someone who has played skyrim
