Does finishing the main quest line change any of the other quests in the game? For example, can I 'beat' the game, then go and do Thieves/Mage/Fighter/DB quests without problems? I'm starting a new character and want to do the main quest line first, then play with the guild stuff.

I've just... started the amulet quest and been walking around outside for fun but why does it sometimes feel like I'm running / walking underwater or extremely slow? I thought maybe that's cause my atheletics skills or something is too low but it seems to happen randomly.

Wanted to finally start the fighters guild quests, so I jumped on my horse and headed to Cheydenhal to pick up some contracts. Or at least I tried to head there, but I was waylaid so often with stuff like Ayleid ruins and a couple of minor quests found at an inn, I didn't even make it halfway there before I had to take a break.
I love the expansiveness and richness of the world in this game, but I'm gonna have to start fast-traveling more often if I want to ever accomplish my primary goals.

Oblivion INI Tweaker
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1937
Not a mod, but it is my preferred way to tweak Oblivion's INI. Doesn't have every tweak yet, but it covers the basics. The "lower grass density" tweak allowed me to turn grass back on again with a minimal performance hit. <3
Specular Fix
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2019
Fixes the crashes associated with incorrect specular lighting on some objects. The 30 objects found have now been removed.
BTmod
http://btmod.beider.org/
Resizes the interface to make it more PC-friendly. I don't know of anyone who doesn't recommend this one.
Landscape LOD Replacements

http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2210
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2446
Replaces the distant (and really low res) landscape textures with better looking versions. I didn't notice any performance hit from this and it made far away hills/mountains/etc. look great. Also very popular.
Color Map Mod
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1951
Colors in the world map. Very well done, looks great.
No Obsolete Loot and Enemies
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1952
None of the items or enemies in the levelled lists become obsolete. No matter your level you might encounter an imp while wandering the forests of Cyrodiil or have a bandit wearing leather armor attack you. This also somewhat alleviates the problem with everyone and their mother dropping high end stuff when you have reached a certain level. No matter your level Iron/Steel and Fur/Leather will be the most common materials.
Natural Wildlife
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=2063
Encounter three types of animals in Cyrodiil:
- aggressive animals that attack you on sight (like the original ones do)
- shy animals that flee when they see you, but that will defend themselves if attacked
- passive animals that initially ignore you, but attack if you get too close
Dark Brotherhood Continues Selling Poison Apples
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1935
Pretty self-explanatory. After finishing your DB questline you'll still be able to purchase poison apples from the vendor. Mass food poisoning ensues.

one thing i really hate is the stuttering while exploring horseback, it's like the engine can't keep up with your movement sometimes, could be my sata hdd though. and then there is the pop in of objects, rocks, forts, etc. even when the details are maxed.
the worst part of it, imo, and this is even a downgrade from morrowind, is how the cities/towns are their own seperate area like a dungeon or building. they end up all having the same basic structure with the high walled perimeters and gates. good thing levitation is gone or it would totally break this part of their programming.
i don't mind loads for buildings and dungeons at all, but the town loads are really annoying/distracting for some reason. there has to be a good reason for it i'm sure, i just can't help thinking the loading/streaming data process in oblivion could have been so much better :/

Holy fuck, that was REALLY, REALLY hard. My magic is about a thousand times more powerful than my blade. Seriously - how does a melee character even function?
Granted, my gear was all steel, and I had a silver sword. That's it.

So, I just purchased Oblivion today, and WHAT A GAME IT IS.
I played for 5 CONSECUTIVE HOURS!!
I've never played one game that long in one day. This game just absorbs you and immerses you in its world. It's truly a work of genius.
This is the fucking best. I'm having one of the best "gaming" times of my life with this thing. Almost up to par with Ocarina of Time, maybe it will beat it, we shall see.

Lighter Rings
Noticed that some rings weighed 1 pound, so decided to change it. Now all rings (except a certain quest item) weight 0.1 pound.
Could do one for amulets too if there is enough demand. Figured it's a bit more 'realistic' to have an amulet weigh 1 pound though, so just did rings for now.
Put file in your oblivion\data directory then select it in the launcher to activate it.
Worked with the rings I was wearing, let me know if I missed anything.
Let me know what you think.
