Frequently Asked Questions

🇶 How much space?

🅰️ ~119gb total.

🅰️ you have an AMD graphics card. Set bFullScreen to 0 in Oblivon.ini in the profiles folder of wherever you installed the list. Set the file to read-only so this doesn’t get reverted.

🇶 I am crashing or stuttering constantly

🅰️ Some random crashes are expected, Oblivion is an old game and crashes even without mods. I am still trying to make improvements but nothing will get fixed if you don’t report it. If it can’t be replicated it is very difficult to actually solve. Ensure you have followed all pre-install steps. Try changing the heap mode in ORC.ini. It’s also possible you may need to perform driver updates or rollbacks, or something else is wrong with your system. Check this link for other tweaks you can try. https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Tweaking

🇶 My mouse isn’t working

🅰️ Restart steam

🇶 There are a bunch of plugins unchecked

🅰️ This is intentional. These plugins are merged to avoid the esp limit. You should not enable them yourself or do anything with them.

🇶 I am moving very slowly

🅰️ By default you will walk, press X to toggle running. Hold shift while running to sprint.

🇶 Why aren’t my stats regenerating faster?

🅰️ Many birthsigns offer some form of stat regeneration. Out of combat you should sometimes use the wait function to restore stats. Potions should be used to restore stats in combat or when waiting is otherwise not possible. This is an intentional design choice.

🇶 Combat is too hard

🅰️ Combat is lethal on both sides. Make good use of the added combat mechanics and utilize spacing and reach to avoid being hit. My goal is for combat to feel engaging and require some strategy but not be overly punishing. If you think I’ve missed the mark here let me know about it.

Your race, class, and major skills will have a major effect on how your character scales for the entire game. Make sure you are primarily using your major skills. There are class changing profession books you can find in the world if you aren’t happy with what you originally selected.

If you are a magic character, you should select a magically inclined race and a class with magic as a primary specialization or your magicka pool will not scale very well. Make use of spellcrafting, there are npcs in each guild hall which will do this for you without having to join the Arcane University. You can also sometimes find Welkynd Essence in Ayleid ruins which will let you craft one new spell for free.

As a melee or ranged character, make sure you are managing your fatigue as it affects the total damage you can deal as well as how fast you can swing your weapon. At low fatigue you are prone to being knocked down.

Many enemies have been unleveled to no longer scale with the player and this is an open world rpg with no true ending. You can always leave and come back stronger.

If all else fails, use the ingame difficulty slider to fine tune the game to your tastes.

🇶 How do I take screenshots?

🅰️ Use the Del key on the numpad to take screenshots with reshade. They are saved to Modding/screenshots. You can change the key and path in the reshade ui which is opened with Home. Using tm (toggles hud) or tfc (toggles free cam) might help when taking the shot.

🇶 There is an update in Mod Organizer 2, should I update it?

🅰️ No, the list will no longer work and you will need to reinstall it through Wabbajack.

🇶 How do I start the main quest?

🅰️ Get arrested in the Imperial City
