Any mods to make this more like Morrowind?
In a lot of ways oblivion was a huge devolution of morrowind. Better graphics and fighting physics, nicer looking magic, monsters etc. But morrowind is hard to top in atmosphere and functions. But the one glaring reason why I been putting off replaying oblivion after beating it. Well part of the reason is that terrible expansion in the shivering islands where they want me to go around torturing looney toons. I don't exclusively play games like this to be a sadist I like to make my own choices. If I wanted that I'd just boot up blood omen. But the one truly awful thing to me about oblivion is the inventory system. Why would they change a seamless and flawless inventory system like morrowind, to this?
Its god awful, drag, click, drag, click, listen to stupid npcs thanks while he smiles dumbly. Why???? I don't get why they wanted to replace morrowinds simple and fast, efficient inventory and buyer system to this.

Also why is the map always so blank, what was wrong with morrowinds fill in map? It made it super convenient to explore new places. This I mean you unlock markers, but you still don't know where you visited before. Its just, so much stuff they took outa morrowind that they shouldn't have.

I'm just wondering if there's any mods that change the map or inventory system, they would really make this game a lot better.

Nice to know I am not the only one. I really, I mean really, do not like "The Shivering Isles" though so many players rave about it being the best. Making light of mental health issues is just not healthy, imo.

Gaming is edgy, lotta the time games focus on doing psycho crap for no reason. I thought it was kinda amusing at first. Sheo is not a bad villain he was interesting in daggerfall. But getting forced to do his garbage or I freefall and then getting directed to a bunch of psychos to go sociopath the whole town was not fun to me. And I'm not against games where you do horrible things, well I don't like them personally. Don't wanna play gta, hitman, or hatred. But I'm not one of these censor ban people. I just think they are dumb games that I have no interest in. I don't even think about killing people or relishing in peoples misery in rl, I also do not hold grudges or go on petty get back at someone plots. I seen a lot of people fall into these traps growing up and on the news on those evening abc docs all the time. Killing their wife or whatever cause blah blah blah.. Its everywhere.

Just don't get it, why I wanna do a bunch of psycho crap to the mentally insane. A better expansion would of been one that sent a team of wizards to go put a stop to sheo's madness and free whoever wasn't a total unstopable threat and hold them on trial for their atrocities. Instead they just made that xp mindlessly edgy just for the sake of it.

Lotta people in this industry, and not just the gamers but the creators, don't wanna abstractly think about anything or question. Just eat it up yum, anything you put in front of them. I don't remember anything this immoral in morrowind even the morang tong which was pretty edgy, still justified what they did by law and claimed that the people were criminals who deserved it with honorable writs. These people in the shivering islands are talking about how they love torture and expecting me to go along with it. And if not freefall. Its a terrible xp and it looks beautiful, but about around the time sheo sent me to go talk to his torturers I felt like I was in a bad exploitation film and got very disinterested.

And an odd choice for an xp after the heroic main q where you basically shut down pure evil. Also anytime this debate about evil in games gets brought up people tell me abstract morality rants and nothings is true, everything is permitted assassins creed stuff. And I just don't agree or like the talking point at all, no morality is common sense and written in a court of law and for good reason.

If you frequent the nexus website, and have a subscription. You can try out the highest rated collection in the Oblivion Category. It's basically a remastered version of the original game. More streamlined leveling, graphic settings, a better user interface, unique armor looks (I personally like the new mage robes), and it dabs in some skills/upgrades/magic that were present in Morrowind.

My favorite addition is you can play at your monitor's native resolution and framerate, although this one is a double-edged sword in itself. A fps above 60 will have some minor nuisances to object interactions (like plates and cups falling to the floor in areas), but that's just Oblivion being Oblivion. So you may have to lock your framerate if it gets to be too bothersome.

I'll check out the different oblivion mods what I'm most interested in is a retooled inventory system. Oblivions is pretty bad so is fallout3s but I got kinda use to navigating it. And I like fallout but I don't play it as much as elder scrolls.
As much as I love playing vanilla Oblivion while growing up, the game aged like spoiled milk. So glad the modding community has made various QoL additions to the game over the years, so now I'm loving the game all over again. Hope you find something to suit your needs, it's totally worth it.

SI isn't about mental health issues, but chaos. Sheo's madness is chaotic, not depressive.

Oh no, you have to scroll through the inventory instead of squinting at a hundred small icons to figure out what you need, what ever will you do?

Bro prefers a tiny interface design that you need a magnifying glass to see over a big one that is actually visible. I think you are smoking that nostalgia drug WAY too much bud. Modding a 22 year old ain't gonna change sh*t for you
