Oblivion! Can anyone post screenshots?

[tha_mattster]

Just wondering if anyone with a similar PC to me could post there screenshots from Oblivion? I want to check that it will look good before I buy :jmp:

so I have;

-----
1GB RAM
Athlon Dual 4400 processor
Raedon X800 graphics card (might be X800 XL I'm not sure)

-----

[Catlantean]

I have a small gallery of them here (http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f353/catlantean/Oblivion%20Screenshots/). Will add more once I have the time to play :)

Taken with Athlon 64 Dual Core, 1GB RAM, Radeon X800. And the game looks superb on it :tmb:

[tha_mattster]

perfecto muchas gracias!!

this is just what I wanted! :jmp:


Did you install any mods? I've been bookmarking mods I want, the sort that supposedly improve the nature graphics.

[Catlantean]

No, it's just the game as it is. Interesting about the mods though, I'll check them out :)

[Rivendell]

I play on my Bro's pc, and it's a:

1Gb Ram Pc 3200 (Dual channel)
Athlon XP 3000
Asus ge9999 Nvidia 6800ge

I'm not sure how much better/worse /the difference between that and your pc (perhaps you know!) but I'll post some screens asap :wve:

[tha_mattster]

I think that graphics card is a little better than mine. But It shouldnt be too different I guess.

Btw can you tell me what accent the voice actors have?

[Rivendell]

Accents range from Gruff English-American to English, occasional Cornish. :D
Theyll noll welshll thoughll. :p
I've only used a couple of mods- and only one is noticable- the Witch King's Helmet.
Here's some screens, I hope they fit on the page!

[tha_mattster]

magnificent!! :cln: :cln:

How is the character customisation? All the characters I've seen look like TRL Lara http://www.smileypad.com/v224/Feelings/Green.gif

Can you get pets? I would love a wolf dog :D or even my own black lab ^.^


(p.s. LOL at witch king! from lord of the rings yes?)

[Rivendell]

Character customisation is very accurate, you can really Really detail your characters in face and some body construction.

Unfortunately I don't think you can get pets, but its almost certain you'll be able to get pets in some future mods. Morrowind was just as epic on it's own as Oblivion is, and there are literally Thousands of amazing mods for that game, give Oblivion a while and the mods will make the game even more amazing (if possible!!)

[tha_mattster]

Yes there is a pet mod, I was just wondering if it was already in the game.

Can you tell me how you made your screenshots? I've heard you have to edit the data files of the game, or are these frapped? :confused:

anyway thats my final question thanks for the screenshots guys! I'm ordering it now :cln:

[Rivendell]

Yep, they're frapped :tmb:
You can do it the un-frappish way, but you have to change the Oblivion.ini gamefile line
EnableScreenshots=0
to
EnableScreenshots=1

Then they always save as BMP's and one day you'll wonder why the pc is going so slow and realise you have a couple of gig full of images that you didn't expect to find :D

[tha_mattster]

yea tell me about it! I have to wait 2 minutes when I look at my TR screenshots :hea: but i refuse to pay $10 just to be able to save as JPEG. :mad:

[Mad Tony]

This game has amazing graphics! :eek:

[scoopy_loopy]

tha_mattster I made a thread about this a while ago :wave: Ill dig it up for you and repost pics :)

[tha_mattster]

very cool! and your PC is similar spec to my one?

There are several Mods which add actual places to the game.
Also there is a kind of "Level Editor" for Oblivion, available from the main site. Its not as customizable of trle but its still alright. At least, it doesnt crash :D


very cool! and your PC is similar spec to my one?
we have the same ram.
I have an Nvidia 7600gt graphics card
and a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+


so I guess yours is better than mine :P I can run it full specs so you should be able to also :D

[Rivendell]

ES LE is a really tricky LE in my opinion. I've never come across such an easy and brilliant to use LE as the FarCry Sandbox editor.. why they all can't be so easy I don't know!

I love that Witchking Helm' mod, and there's the horse Armor mod / orrery/ frostcrag spire / pirate ship mods that you have to .. pay.. for.

:D

[scoopy_loopy]

I got that "more light armour" Choices mod
I love the quilted one! It goes so nicely on my elven archer!

[rika2]

god, I want to play this game so much, but my PC sucks.

[illuminati30]

Buy it anyway Matt, its a great game, even if you dont have the best graphics.

[scoopy_loopy]

i turned all my graphics down and it didnt make much of a difference really. All you lose is a bit of draw distance :) and mabey some shadows here and there.
