Is there some website online in which I can go to practice in-game oblivion style lockpicking without having to do it within the game itself?

If one wanted to roleplay a hunter or forester, some shack or cottage (maybe even a decent encampment) in the wilds would be a good place to use for a base of operations. Is there a list of such places where one can sleep without trespassing? All I can really find are lists of buildings with safe storage containers.

on the character creation screen, the character simply does not appear, there is only the box to enter the name and characteristics in front of a black screen. what to do with it?

I cleaned a dg that was full of vampires and I end up turned in one of them. So... I always go back to cyrodill to fix armor, weapons, etc. But now nobody wanna talk to me. Where can I go to fix my equips? I don't mind being a vampire and I know the pros/cons, but I dunno how can I continue my journey.

Other question: If I play on PC with 4gb Ram Patcher, Natural Environments, Streamline and Qarls Texture Pack III Redimized - QTP3 R, but on SteamDeck play without any of these mods. There is a chance that my save get corrupted? I mean if I keep jumping trought SteamDeck and my PC too often.

I can’t find anything about this regarding anyone else experiencing this, but when I hot key azura’s star then activate the hot key, nothing happens - no enchant recharge menu, nothing. Is this the intended behaviour? It is getting jarring to the point of me switching to hand to hand that I have to scroll through misc to maintain enchantment.

I am using Oblivion steam version, NUI hot keys.

Been a minute or two since I played this game at release. Trying to remember the console command to turn off the pansy regen rates of vanilla. It's something like "player.modav staminarate -#.#" , but that's not working. I recall Skyrim, Morrowind and Oblivion were similar commands but not exactly the same. Can't seem to find the website I found them on before either. UES wiki is useless in this it seems. Anyone remember these commands? Thanks in advance.

with Oblivion? any tips or good videos would be great, thx guys

I wanted to do a little more adventure prior to having to meet the guy with book 4. Immediately after Gwinas gives me the book, I fast traveled to Bruma and lo and behold, Baurus just pops up and tells me to follow him to the sewers. He stands just outside of Bruma and will only move if you are within maybe 15 ft of him.

So, finally when I decide to do this, I get to walk at this unbearable pace for 14 in game hours. It was 20 hours total before we reached the door to enter the meeting. What a fucker. On the bright side, I raised my destruction skill from 75 to 90 from this unbearable traveling.

So, if you don't want to experience this, suggest you talk to him prior to leaving the City lol.

I've been playing Skyrim for years and only recently got into Oblivion and I've only played a little bit of it and its blown me away, i want to do everything i can in this game so I'm hoping the subreddit can recommend me some places and people of interest. Thank you :)

I tend to name / index my saves and file them away if I ever need to record / check something, and if a game lets me name my saves, so much the better. Is there an option like this for Oblivion? Happy to use MO2, but I couldn't find an option when I poked at Wrye Bash.

Is it really worth going through all the stress to install mods for this game? I've never played it, and I'm trying to install mods to make the game less dated, and so far I've only been angry at the procedures

So a little background, Oblivion is probably my most played game of all time - loved it as a kid and as an adult. This is my first time modding this game and it feels awesome. I have installed MO2 on the steam deck and it running great.

The is this mod I’m dying to play though “Knights of the Nine Revelation” but it requires OBSE. I am a complete newbie so I have no idea how to connect MO2 with OBSE? I don’t know what to do! There’s videos that show how to install OBSE but none of them are on steam deck or with MO2.

If anyone can explain it to me like a 5 year old I would be extremely greatful, I’d be even willing to venmo someone for the help lol I’m that desperate! Pasted these also on “oblivion mods” but there’s so few people on each sub lol.
