Damn, the soundmod actually messed it up and it's only playing out of my two front speakers.. I think stereo sound mod was literal.. lol. I have to find it and take it out if I can, before I get into a game.

I am interested in realistic leveling though, I wonder if i can fit it in there. Perhaps the versious mods I have already deal with that though. I will post them up later. And screenshots

Screenshots sound great!

Unstableiser · 05-18-09

Hmm I am confused now. The soundmod I used didn't have any esp. I wonder why it's only playing in stereo now? :/
I'm going to go ahead and install More Immersive Sounds ontop anyway, then have a look in the ini file, perhaps something is up in there.

That is odd. Don't have an answer there for you... Let me know what you find out.

lol, it was something silly as I suspected, I didn't enable Oblivion in the Creative Alchemy program. I blame Creative on that

Uploading some screenshots of the first few moments ingame now. Just from being in the cell you can see what FCOM does. I revel in the hard work that has happened in the modding community since the game was released!

First things I noticed:

*New playable factions
*Much better faces and bodies
*New eyes, hair etc (really cool too)
*New sounds (obviously

)
*Surrounding world is deep for want of a better word.
*Playing as a 'Hidden Elf' finds me getting completely new dialog from the dark elf in the cell opposite. When I am nearly leaving the sewers I bump into a guy who is trying to get through some pretty baddass goblins, he tells me he needs help because *a completely new island to vanilla* has been invaded by soem strange spirits and no one is coming out to trade with him, he needs someoen to help. I am pretty sure this is to do with some strategy mods I have enabled. You don't randomly get a load of notes as soon as you leave your cell now. You have to find them, or you bump into people who ask for help. Furthermore, I got a note when i left the sewer first time and it was from someone who appears to be a close friend and is sayign sorry, etc... opening up a whole new story and making me think perhaps I am not a random person with no life, I actually have a life now

*Then there are the sheer amount of new creatures and weapons and the fact that they appear kinda at random
*Then the fact that you are not the one all the bad guys hate now... eveyone is attacking each other! (within reason) For example goblins will ignore you as they attack a horde of rats and you can sneak past. Sometimes you will find dead bodies, where someone has been fighting before you even got there

And I only just started

I will compile a list of the mods i'm using after I have done the screenshots. I am thankful to the people who made the FCOM files. They've done a great service to the Oblivion modding community by allowing their work to come together like this!

EDIT: Oh and did I mention there's beards, even women can have beards

New playable races:

hehehe

I chose a masculine non-tattooed Hidden Elf:

There are some random rings and stuff there, I haven't played with what they do yet.

Faces look quite human now...

Awesome new robes and blood effects:

I'll just add here that the combat systems go together so well.. I am using an exhuastion mod in there somewhere too... it's funny to watch zombies keep falling over...lol

Excellent pics and feedback Unstable. Thanks!

Unstableiser · 05-18-09

OK, so I started my proper new game, same character. I found a woman in the sewers, she was a scavenger, unfortunatly she decided to attack me and it ended in her death. I looked in a crate nearby and I found quite a big book, completely new and full of information about survival etc (if you feel like reading).. but what a great touch!

There were no uber goblins this time, and no random dude asking for help.

I got outside and it was still 5am (I set the timescale to 12 hours per ingame hour).

I crossed the river and bump into a drunken brawler who is wandering around, He starts throwing punches and I am finding it hard to throw the guy off, he is tough. Then a bandit comes running across from the camp and attacks him. The drunk dude gets knocked down and then starts running away, the bandit following. I chase after them both and the bandit gives up and comes after me, so i run after the drunk dude and bump into an imperial archer who is standing ontop of a rock up here somewhere, the bandit runs back home!

I turn around and I find that by the road there is a completely new inn right next to me, with some strange animal outside... that must be my tamriel travel mod! There are farm animals wandering about and a couple of locals, I think the drunk must have taken refuge inside the pub

So I take a hike back down to vilvirin and mess around at the aylead stone (there is a mod that turns them into teleportation devices, but I must find a quest (let alone finish it). I wander into the camp... something I don't usual dare do at the start of the game... but no one is to be seen. I pick up a book by the tent and steal it, along with some garlic. I turn around and this brawler (who is certainly not drunk) punches me right in the face... and I die

True story

Screenshots and possibly a video to come

BTW, I highly recommend the 'Immersive Sound Mod' to go alongside the stereo sound mod in there (even in the readme for that it recommends it). It has far more important tweaks to sounds and the number of them, with lots of scripts etc and new 3d sounds. It makes the game 'feel' interesting all the time, even when nothing is happening. here is the link: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5487
