Oblivion character generation, etc

OK, I'll get it then. I didn't want too many managers managing according to what they felt were right, leading to chaos. I loved the feeling I got in the jail when I played a Nord, and he were suddenly a lot bigger than the other characters. That's one of the mods, right?

Yes, I forget which mod it is that makes all the NPCs unique and the PC races different sizes.

I'll keep my eyes out for the Nords with beards mod, I read about somewhere.

This list is quite helpful.

Yeah, I think after I get through the FO3 DLC I will go back to Oblivion and see what's new.

Play it for a while in vanilla mode to see what is changed by the mods.  Don't waste too much time in that mode, though.

It's not like it takes a long time to beat the Main Quest in vanilla once you get the hang of the game.  Actually, it can become pretty trivial.  I beat it with a character that didn't use weapons, armor, or offensive magic spells--and I'm not even good at the game.

Part of my point was that, once he gets the hang of the game in vanilla, he should move on.  I only think I played the game with the main quest active once (the first time I played it).  With mods, the main quest becomes just a distraction after you play it through once (and that once shouldn't be vanilla).

Don't forget to get a mod to turn quick travel off! grumbler and Vinraith can't bear to have the option in game, even if they have the choice not to use it!

I can't?    I didn't know that. 

I am embarrassed to say that I have never used any such mods because I didn't know that I could not bear having that option in game. 

You coulda told me before now!

I've still yet to finish the main quest on Oblivion.
Or BG2.
I'm one of those people who just get too diverted trying to do every side quest
Maybe I should boot up the game over my fortnight off and try and blast through.

I haven't even played Oblivion beyond the tutorial dungeon yet.
