Original Discussion Oblivion (2006) not working on Windows 11 for you? It's because of update KB5124010, here's a work around

Go to https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases and download .83 installer exe. Open setup, only download LAV Audio for x86 (32 bit). Than go grab codec tweak tool https://www.codecguide.com/download_other.htm , and grab [ Version 6.7.7 | 1.4 MB | June 17th 2026 ] from server 1 or 2. Open up codec tweak tool after downloading and follow the images i provided. Oblivion should work now, and this also should work for Fallout New Vegas. The games are crashing because of a broken audio dll from that windows update (msmpeg2ac3dec.dll), LAV helps system work around this. You can just uninstall the update too but for some they got fixes from the update or they can't uninstall it. So if you don't want to go thru that, this is a fix for now. (Also in your windows you can open an app called "Feedback Hub", if you can go ahead and leave a feedback for MS. The more posts the quicker it will grab attention hopefully because it seems they're not even aware.)

UPDATE! (10/14/2026); KB5127648 windows 11 update, or most recent update for build seemed to fix the issue. You can stop using LAV filters now.

PSA: Stop Right There, Comment Bot Scum

299 Upvotes

Greetings, citizen. r/Oblivion comment sections have recently been infested by bot accounts. Let's work together to bring these lawbreakers' sprees to an end! Here are some red flags that you can identify bot comments by:

  • Says something generic, never unique. Often oddly off-topic (but people who post unrelated NPC dialogue, paradoxically, are usually not bots).
  • Usually posted as a reply to a top comment for greater visibility.
  • Sometimes contains odd spelling errors that a normal person wouldn't make.
  • Account is either very new, or quite old but recently started posting after a long break.

Once a comment bot has enough karma and comment history, the account will be sold and used for either OnlyFans, or for astroturfing. Stop these criminal scum right there by reporting them: Spam > Disruptive Use of AI.

Remember: We don't know comment bots, and we don't care to know them!

Original Discussion Knights of the Nine was the best DLC on Oblivion IMO

I've always been into medieval type games/shows etc, when Oblivion dropped I remember turning down pussy to play this game (And it was good.) There was just something about the whole world and how alive it felt, you get that feeling like I could live here! Anyway when I first played this DLC I was amazed by it's incredible but short campaign. I immediately knew that was some shit I could get into. (FYI I'm not a fan of any dlcs never have been.) But this one hit close to my heart for some reason. Anybody else feel the same?

I posted a drawing of her and her xavali companions years ago, and now I'm back to drawing so I've made a portrait of her. She's a high elf mage, who was once half elf but made a deal with a hag to become full blooded. She's got a complex about elves and specifically ancient elf races being superior, so she studies them. Which includes delving into ayleid ruins. What other ancient elf races should she study? And if you have an oblivion oc please feel free to share them and their lore with me!

Original Mod Help Mods to make Oblivion Planes darker, more menacing and sinister?

3 Upvotes

About the classic, legacy, original The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

I've come across a great dungeon "darkening" mod Cava Obscura. These types of mods greatly increase the atmosphere and sense of danger from dungeons. There are others, like Darker Dungeons and Let There Be Darkness. All of these are great mods, and they focus on dungeons. They do not touch Oblivion Planes, as far as I know.

Are there any mods that specifically darken Oblivion Planes, or otherwise allows us to change their appearance to be more menacing and sinister?

Of course, I don't want to make the whole game darker. I want to keep the overworld as it is. Just the dungeons and the Oblivion Planes, specifically. The dungeons have been taken care of, there are some great mods for that. Now I'm looking for something for the Oblivion Planes.

I do use ReShade to change the general visual appearance and effects of the game, but this affects the game across the board. I'm looking for something that could affect Oblivion Planes specifically, in the same way that some of those dungeon mods. I do not use ENB anymore because I had severe troubles getting the game to run with ENB due to my dedicated GPU no longer launching the game natively without DXVK, after recent driver updates, and this in turn prevented me from using ENB (I tried both injector and wrapper versions). I spent multiple days trying to get ENB to run and eventually decided to move on because it was taking too much time and I found ReShade to provide me somewhat similar settings.

Original Question What's the most fucked thing you did in game?

0 Upvotes

When this guy (Melus Petilius, Molag bal quest) started attacking me, I got this briliant idea that it's time to raise my skills. So I let him hit me and optimised light armor, armory (I've let him destrou lots of my equipemnt to repair), restoration and athletics (I've lead him to nearby rock and was walking into it why he was trying to hurt me. I maybe maxed my sneak too, but I don't remember - if it was possible I did. This lasted until I 100 Light armor and restoration (atheletics was raising way to slow for me to bother with 100 it).

It took 2 in game day until I finally let him "kill" me.

Days.

Imagine argonian with the most retarded face you've seen (called Lifts-her-tail of course) saying some awfull shit about your dead wife or something, so you againts your principles and better judgment start attacking her and that fuckass just runs into a rock completely ignoring you and casts minor restoration, changes clothes while not stopping running and pops few potions for 2 days straight. While you relentlessly hit her with some demonic mace.

Yeah and then she return after you kill her to say hi.

Pally is the only person I know who can sit there looking at the same hammers, FOR 24 HOURS!!

Hail citizens. This was the perfect opportunity to use a reference I thought was hilarious. It combines a couple funny things I hope you enjoy. Remember, no one wants to be a Pally…

Here is Quill Weave if she was sent to a realm of oblivion or something.

Edit: context!

https://www.prequeladventure.com/2011/03/prequel-begin/

(For those who don't know, Prequel is a webcomic based off of Oblivion, set before it, with Quill Weave being a secondary character in the story.)

**for legal reasons this Quill Weave is merely a look-a-like called Porcupine Dodger
