Oblivion... with Guns?

[Lovelocke]

Probably not what you're thinking, but I couldn't think of another way to ask it: I am seriously enthralled AGAIN by Fallout 3 and remembered someone saying it was "Oblivion with Guns"... I thought it was oversimplifying it, but then I got to thinking: "What would Oblivion be like with guns?"

So, I apologize if it's been done before (but I want the link to it if it has), but has anyone thought to mod Oblivion so you can use the weapons in Fallout 3? Or somehow import the Oblivion world into Fallout 3? It'd be cool to kill raiders in the fantasy setting...

Thoughts?

well someone did make a mod in oblivion for a rifle that shoots very fast fireballs. it's on youtube.

just do oblivion and gun and you'll likely find it.

I've never played Oblivion and while that sounds like a fairly entertaining idea, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of playing a medieval fantasy RPG?

 

[Plurralbles]

it would suck, sir.

As cool as a blunderbuss would be, I say they should have made crossbows, but gunpowder doesn't fit in the game.

Imagine shooting a troll with it... Lame.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Knowing the modding community, I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a GLaDOS mod.

But yeah, that would be pretty cool, shooting up Mudcrabs in VATS would be sweeeet.

Calumon: I've fought Bloatflys more fierce than you!

I can't imagine it would be too hard; the tricky part would be importing animations and instituting multiple-round magazines (or just use bolt-action rifles, I guess). Just make the bullets into "arrows" that travel ridiculously fast and can't be recovered.

I think the main reason F3 got the "Oblivion with guns" moniker was because the graphics engine, dialogue system and basic gameplay (wander around, discover new place, loot dungeon/wrecked office building) were essentially the same. They just tossed in a variation of VATS and the Perk system (which mostly worked the same as Oblivion's stat-bonus system).

*sniff* Is that irony in the air?
Yeah, definitely irony.
OT: I hope to hell that in the 5th game, they're gonna implement all those stuff that were present in Morrowind (throwing weapons, spears, pauldrons (hehe) etcetera), plus crossbows, plus uberly overhaul magic. And close combat. And ranged combat. And skill progression. And add perks. And actual classes that have an impact on gameplay.
Guess that's just wishful thinking.

I got a mod that put flintlocks in it. It was a pretty cool mod I suppose. Killed my framerate though.

There was a better mod for Morrowind called Modernwind that was under construction for a while. I think it was abandoned before full completion, but they got a few assault weapons done.

 

[DividedUnity]

If I wanted to oversimply id say halflife, left 4 dead and portal are all the same game becausethe look the same

OT: though I say someone has modded it so check tesnexus to be sure.Anyway fallout 3 isnt guns in oblivion. It may be the same engine and style gameplay but its ultimately different

It doesn't fit in the game. There's no irony. It dosen't matter if it was cool or not, shooting at trolls with a gun doesn't make sense.

 

[Dexiro]

Oblivion, and a touch of steampunk to get cool weaponry. Someone should make that

 

[JPH330]

There is a Fallout 3 mod to make the land fertile and green and whatnot. I think it's kinda stupid. I mean, that's kind the whole point of Fallout; removing the post-apocalyptic wasteland setting from Fallout is like removing Sauron from Lord of the Rings.

Let's hear it for Fable 2!

Actually that game sucked, so yeah, I guess you're right.

Fast forward 300 years, it'll make all the sense there is to make.
And anyway, Oblivion has pirates in proper pirate warships, which means that there absolutely must be cannons around. No substitutes.

 

[Lovelocke]

I think somewhere along the way my post was misunderstood (or possibly just not read): I actually *want* to see Oblivion with Guns! I just wanna drop a mini-nuke in the lush forests and cities of Oblivion... doesn't matter how unbalanced it is: Nobody complained when Bruce Campbell strapped a damn chainsaw to his arm in Army of Darkness (except me because, well, it sucked. Fact is, it was enjoyed by many)

Calumon, I've wanted to tell you this for some time. You move like a pregnant Deathclaw!

I had a gun mod for Oblivion, it just ruins the whole game. Seriously, it sucks.

 

[Irridium]

Want to see what Oblivion with guns is like? Then download an oblivion mod that adds guns. I'm sure there's a few floating around.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

It would be like Fallout 3 basically.

 

[nick n stuff]

fallout isn't obivion with guns.
it's oblivion with guns instead of spells
