While I don't tweak my character's face in the menu, I like to imagine her life over two decades, from her being thirteen/early teen and joining the thief guild as a low fry, to her being in her early twenties during DB questline, her redemption arc with Martin in her eary thirties and being an acknowledged, rich hero end of 30s/early 40s.

(and showing off my "normal-looking character" to flex, because I'm unimaginative)

What about you?

I had a mini heart attack when Modryn got pissed off at me, since I also had the Swampy quest bug on me earlier.

Is this intended or a bug from not updating the game?

This may be common knowledge for many veteran players, but I'm sure that newer players need to know that containers labeled "sack", "grain sack" or something alike never respawn. And by never, I mean 99% of cases. So, how can we be sure? Today I'm trying to sell you on using the Leyawiin Mages Guild as a makeshift player home.

Basement (pictures 1, 2 and 3): all sacks (three near the bed, two by the middle pillar, leaning on a shelf, three in the south-western corner); bonus safe containers — a lectern and a covered pot. Total containers: 10

Lobby (pictures 4, 5, 6 and 7): all sacks (two in each of the side-rooms immediately to the left and right of the entrance, two behind the alchemist's desk, three in the pantry near the dining area); bonus container — wooden chest that contains skooma. Total containers: 10

2nd Floor North (picture 8): only one open-top grain sack

2nd Floor South (pictures 9, 10 and 11): bedroom — none; study — all sacks (three near the small shelf at the southern wall), small chest under a small shelf to the right of the entrance; storage area — all sacks (one between two barrels, seven under the window, one on top of the shelf, one behind a lonely barrel), the other containers here are respawning and contain food and clutter. Total containers: 14

3rd floor North: not tested because it's Dagail's room and all containers are marked as owned in my game (it's probably OOO that's doing this)

Summary: if you want to use Leyawiin Mages Guild Hall as a player house, you need only join the Mages Guild. This home is a little walk from the fast travel point, but you get the opportunity to hit the shops to sell loot on your way there. Many respawning containers here provide food, which is great for alchemy. If you want to permanently delete some items, like the clutter you will empty all of these sacks of, you can store it in one of the respawning cupboards in the lobby. Two of them just happily eat any item, without even replacing it with something else. Al long as you use only the containers listed here, you have a free player home with a free bed, abundant food, an alchemist vendor, two spell vendors, a magic item recharging service and 25 CONTAINERS that can store anything your heart desires!

Get it now while it's hot! 😄

And now, for the engagement: have you ever used a random basement full of sacks as your player house?

I've tried to follow guides to install Mod Organizer 2 on the deck, and it won't work for me at all. I cannot install it. So I wanted to just install mods manually. I've done it a thousand times on my PC, so I know the basic process. But on a fresh install of Oblivion, when I launch OblivionLauncher.exe, I cannot click on "Data files". It's greyed out. So even if I manually install mods, if there's an esm or esp file, I can't enable it. I'm guessing I'm just hosed? I can't mod it then?

I am 100% a self-inserter and just create Roman numeraled versions of myself in each playthrough.

I find this the most satisfying way to play.

Didn’t gain as much

Show me cool ones I should make in the comments please!

Sooo... after playing skyrim enough(680hr) ı decided to play oblivion too. What should ı know about this game? Any head-up or advises?

The hero of Hollywood Blvd needs to find Uriel’s illegitimate son

Personally I really love the way the characters in Oblivion look (especially compared to Skyrim and their gaunt sunken yuck) but all I see are people making fun of the way they look 😭 is this an unpopular opinion?

I especially like the way the characters in Oblivion look because they feel realistic especially for that world and you can make a pretty character but not a hyper pretty character which is refreshing. I also love how round the faces/heads are it adds a softness I really like and I love the eye colors as well and think they are very beautiful even today. It just feels very charming and Obliviony (which is to say beautiful but unsettling at times)
