Recommend some mods!

[Mannix]

Bored! Need some good mods for:

Half-Life 2
Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
Fallout 3
Oblivion

Let's git r done!

[Yrcrazypa]

Dystopia. It's a Half-Life 2 mod, and aside from the elitists, is a really fun game.

Fallout3 and Oblivion... well, it'd be safer to assume you already have them, but there are always those people...
Better Bodies and Better Heads. (Or whatever variation thereof.)

Ironically I am looking for Oblivion mods now too. Damn 66% off.

L4D2 would be nifty too, though I'm still trying to Gold every survival map.

For Fallout and Oblivion I use http://www.tesnexus.com/ and http://www.fallout3nexus.com/. Yes they have the adult mods, but you don't have to click on them if you don't want to and they are labeled.

Right, but for Oblivion they have something like 22,000 files on hand. I'm looking for mods that are personally endorsed by the fine members of the Nuklear Fora Community.

For Fallout 3 I'd likely suggest Cube Expirimental a damn interesting little item that has ties to the Cube series of horror movies making the expirience a tad better(particularly the unfairness early on) but it is more than strong enough on its own.

Personally I'd like to see a Fallout 3 mod that changes the camera angle to a useful bird's eye view and enforces turn based combat. Lacking which, I just keep playing Fallout 2.

I could recommend you some mods for that if you're into it. Not much else to contribute. :I

For Oblivion, I recommend:

• Enhanced Hand-to-Hand - improves H2H calculations to make it a viable option
• Claws and Monk Gear - adds H2H weaponry, has a couple known issues, nothing major from my experience
• Alive Waters - adds several types of fish and fish meat, as well as aquatic plants
• Any variation of CM Partners - lets you take along NPC partners or even animal pets
• Ring of Wings - puts flight back into the game.
  • Original version (I have used this and can vouch for its stability)
  • Updated version (based on the original, likely just as stable)
  • Version 3 (not by the original author, has known collision issues)
  Needs OBSE, don't try to fly over walls or the game becomes unstable, flying indoors may make you clip to outside the building and into a black nexus.
• Advanced Water Modification - remember the dark, opaque water? This fixes that and is nearly photo-realistic.

Edit: Apparently, there are also other options for companions. This one apparently is based on a different engine with better stability than CM, but only allows you to use one companion.

As a note, CM isn't necessarily "unstable" so much as "resource-heavy." General rule of thumb for a good computer is no more than eight companions before the game crashes, with instability starting at five or so, IIRC. If you stay with a reasonable number, you should be fine.

Weren't you all exactly the opposite when Fallout 3 was coming out? Because I remember being like "Fallout 3 might be a good game but it's not going to be even close to a Fallout game let alone a good one" and I remember someone who I'm pretty sure was you being like "Turn based gameplay and isometric view don't matter to me so they don't matter."

Yes, it was you I'm sure of it.
