Are you going to use/create mods?

[Igiss]

So, what is your attitude to mods? It's well-known that mods were the only thing that prolonged life of Morrowind for so long, and for Oblivion their importance won't be less. Many of Elder Scrolls fans are planning to create modifications of some sort. Are you going to become a modder, or just will install mods that others will make? Or maybe you are not going to try any mods at all.

Bethesda is also going to release 'official' mods this time, like it was when Morrowind was released, but they won't be free according to previous announcements. Though buying mods is probably a different subject.

After I play the original version of the game for a bit I'll be using others mods. But until I am done modding for Freelancer I won't be modding Oblivian. Modding two things at once and dealing with some real-life issues right now is a bit much at once.

[Lord Sunnycool]

I voted the bottom option, but even if I got the PC version, I doubt I have the skill to make anything that's well-done. I'd probably try it, but - lol - I am not a modder-kind-of-person

[Crono]

I will play the game without mods for as long as possible then apply some mods when i'm ready. I'm also thinking about creating my own mods at some stage, but not sure though, will have to see.

[metamay]

I'll definately play around with the CS some, but I don't know if i can make anything worth playing. Like Crono I'll play the game wihout mods for a good while first.

[Igiss]

I'm planning to make mods, of course I do... Freelancer modding is sort of experience. And Morrowind modding too, though it was long ago and those few mods I've made were never uploaded to any of well-known mod-hosting sites.

I'll both make mods, and use other peoples mods.

Hmm, wouldn't it have made sense to include an option that said you'd both make mods and use other peoples mods?

TES CS Morrowind was one of the best ideas ever and i was glad to hear that they would continue the trend in oblivion. As in Morrowind after i beat the main story, I opend up the CS and found all my favorate armor changed the classes of them as i saw fit named them after me and put enchants on them, i do intend to do this again.

There'll probably be downloadable plug-ins by Bethesda for the 360, so I guess I'll use mods.

[Crono]

On a side note the only mods i'm likely to use will be free ones. This is also why I own a PC and not a 360.

[Ellderon]

Hell yea!

I allready made a few small modifications and am planing on doing far more in the future. This game is intense!

Same here.  I currently have about 5 little "tweak" mods, a house mod and a half finished quest type mod.

I've downloaded and activated about 15 - 20 mods from others.  I like, Natural wildlife, Black Glass armor and weapons and intro tutorial skipper as well as the quest bug fixes.  I'll probably get a mod for the grey cowl when I reach that point.

I looked at a few of the alternative levelling/advancement mods and tried one but I didn't like it because it didn't tell me how far along till next level up and then I couldn't seem to make sense of my attribute settings didn't seem right after a couple of levels.  Generally it seemed I was too powerful and the game was too easy.

ayone else find some good Mods to recommend?

[Jeff]

right now i'm using 2 mods, one to make your bounty decrease over time, and another to make most of the females who aren't wearing enchanted clothing topless.

[bshaw19]

I never was that great and making mods for Morrowind, so I think I'll stick with playing mods that other people have made.

[Loknar]

I usually never mod games. I thought Oblivion was great as it is. Then I come upon this website, a wiki page of mods and decided to try it. Now im hooked. Some modders have made amasing work improving gameplay and looks of the game. I've created a new topic for those who want to discuss more in detail about which mods they like.

[iamfromchina]

I like mods that increase gameplay experience, by adding new quests new features and items.

One thing i dont like are mods that make the game easier or unbalanced.
The mod that i like the most at the moment is the one that allows you to recrute an army and give them orders and such.

The problem is I lost it when I re installed windows after I got a virus and I hadnt yet backed up the mod.
I have been looking for that one mod for ages and yet can not find it. Partially due to the fact that I cant remember the name. Im really annoyed.


Any way back on topic.

I think that mods that are intended to increase and prolong gameplay are good but those that are akin to cheating are annoying to me and I am annoyed occasionally. But I guess to each his own.

[rhyls]

Hi, yes I am totally immersed in Oblivion and do have one or two mods which i think enhance the game enormously.  Not the cheats whichg which make one Godlike etc but those such as 'Bag of Holding' which i have no problems using.

I have no experience ever of 'modding' but do intend to have a try at creating one eventually , I have always wondered why one can't use a  sword/spear/lance/bow  from horseback , seeing that there are ridable horses now in the game.  
Oblivion seems to me to be infinately open to everchanging and growing life, quests etc and I think it will outgrow the original version, similar to the 'Neverending Story' idea.

Yeah using weapons on horse back would be pretty sweet.

I do intend to try and make a small modification of my own, but I think ill only try for small tweeks and such.

[Shady Sam]

i hope they make an action replay for 360 users to download them off the internet and install them,kinda like halo 2.I wish you could hav a bow on horse back and hav road chases with gaurds on horses.

[xaedra]

I both use mods and create them.

When I use them though, I always check them to make sure that nothing is"cheat like" about it. Meaning, no insane weapons, over powered allies, etc.

The same goes for when I create them.

Oh, and in my oblvion, nothing is free, everything requires either money or a quest or something.
