Well, I have progressed quickly up the rather short Oblivion ladder. I am doing everything so quickly it seems to just be a blur.
I am already at level 28, and had probably the best armor in the game (which quickly got replaced by the armor from the mod "
Lost Paladins of the Divines"). Just to keep things interesting, I have been installing several mods as I play. I usually only get the more subtle ones, as in "not the total conversion ones". I also avoid Uber mods, just to keep the game balanced and fun. But some of them are just too hard to resist:
Between quests, I like to practice photography. There are plenty of places and opportunities to do this, thanks to Bethesda's most masterful level designers and graphics artists. One mod that really helps this is the Beaming Sunglare Mod by Sonic Ether. You can see the effect of this one in the last picture.
Somehow, though, I feel that there is something missing from this game. Something deep in the game's storyline is missing. It seems that there should be a way to make the game much more immersive... something to make doing the usual stuff really fun. I know that the quest storylines are some of the best in RPGs, with completely spoken dialog and no feeling of the quests being "mass-produced", but maybe they should have done something different... with the main quest. The main quest has the usual stuff, a big bad dude, a cult, destruction, etc. but it lacked a very immersive storyline. All you really do is just stuff you could find in other quests around the world. Along with more
different stuff, it also needs better characters. You really never grow to like Martin that much, let alone others like Steffan and Jaffre. One more thing:
the whole game needs more voices! I get tired of hearing the same 20 or so voice actors do 400+ characters. At least let all the main characters all get completely different voices, like the Emperor and Martin. It shouldn't be that hard to get every staff member go through the usual voice-acting stuff. All it really takes is time and disk space.
