Users that really wish to start over with their existing setups should uninstall Oblivion before proceeding.īefore proceeding with this guide, it would be helpful to have read or be familiar with the material covered in System Requirements, Intro to Mods and Hardware Analysis pages. The goal of Part 1 is simply to, first, get Oblivion installed in the vanilla state and, two, apply basic configurations to improve stability, sans mods. This first part of the guide is applicable for all users. 5.2 Do Launcher and in-game Configuration.4.1.7 Install Better Oblivion Sorting Software.4.1.3 (OPTIONAL) Install The Elder Scrolls Construction Set.4.1.2 Install a C++ Runtime Library Update.4.1.1 Install 7-zip (or another archiving utility).3 Install Oblivion (or Revert to the Vanilla State).Robert_evrae explains that, as an immigrant, you wouldn't travel to a new country and openly admit to them that you're a thief or a murderer, would you? The option to become evil is and has always been available to you, just don't go around telling the proud folk of Imperial City you plan on worshipping Daedra within the first week of your arrival. You'll notice a lack of evil character options, but its exclusion makes sense. Characters include a wealthy merchant, a priest, or even a skilled craftsman. You're now able to choose from a range of character options most comparable to classic RPGs. No longer will you find yourself acting as a substitute exterminator for Uriel Septim.

Fret not! The Alternate Start Arrive By Ship mod from Robert_evrae cuts out the rather laborious chore of an intro in favor of captaining a ship that just so happens to enter the port of either the Imperial City or Anvil. Oblivion's intro through the Imperial City's rat-infested prison catacombs can be a bit of a slog to get through, especially after repeated playthroughs.
