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

297 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 Question Is glarthir crazy or is he actually right?

171 Upvotes

I remember there being basically no evidence pointing to him being right... but then I remembered skingrad has a bunch of weird shit going around it like the mythic dawn sleeper agent and the vampires.

I also remember there being an hour long video discussing this that I wanted to watch but I tried looking and couldn't find it today.

Could someone just break it down for me? I've played oblivion like twice and I know someone here has a million hours and knows every detail lol.

Video Day 548 of Pally and Me’s Adventure until I can loot his armor. Pally is scamp-minded

13 Upvotes

It was nice enjoying a quiet walk in the woods. But I knew I couldn’t leave Pally alone for long. Especially with responsibilities! Turns out I didn’t have to worry. The blue fire kept their attention… wait, why is the fire blue? 🙀

Like Pally, like Scamp. I think he’s starting to like the scamps. They remind him of, well, him! No thoughts behind those eyes just pretty colorful fires to look at. Might want to check this place out. I’m curious why it has blue fires. Pally just likes the color blue cause he likes sleeping in Ayleid wells.

Hail citizens. Currently the scamps don’t attack unless attacked so I’ll have to use my command animal spell so they aggro properly. Now I’m gonna have 4 angry kids and a Pally scampsitter! Nothing bad can happen it can only good happen!

Original Question "Whodunit?"

17 Upvotes

So I'm going through the dark brotherhood quest line and I'm here at the famous "whodunit?" Quest. Of course I'm going for bonuses, so I'm taking my time, really listening to the characters and dialogue because it'a been well over a decade since playing this game. We'll, I thought I'd go ahead and take care of Neville first si he doesn't put on his armor (not that it's really an issue, but role play reasons). I head downstairs to talk with the other guests, see what my options are and I start with Noble nepo baby Primo Antonius, in the background I see Dovesi Dran, in freeze frame having just summoned a zombie. I'm laughing to myself about the absurdity and finish up the dialogue with Primo, I move onto old lady Petite, finish up her dialoge and in the background see Dovesi kill Primo, with Nells the Naughty, slumped along the wall, dead. Apparently Dovesi killed him first while I was walking towards Matilda Petite.

I went to speak with Dovesi, and her dialogie is normal, she is surprised about the deaths of Primo and Nels, even though she killed them. This leads to the reason of this long winded post. Has anyone experienced this sort of thing during this quest, or have an idea what triggered it?

TLDR: Killed Neville first and Dovesi Dran randomly bugged out and killed 2 other guests while feigning ignorance and curious if it happened to anyone else.

Edit: A typo here and there and a butchering of Primo's surname.

Hows he look? I think i did pretty good in making him look more lizard-like than the argonians in oblivion, since I've always preferred their looks in the rest of the games

Tell me what you think hes like, what kind of personality he has etc.

Also I would also love to see your Argonian characters if this sub allows pictures in comments :)

Anyone know of a way to get a dog/wolf companion in remastered? Is there a way of abusing the command creature spell to make it permanent? Or another exploit?

I’m on Switch 2. No console codes or mods. And don’t talk to me about that awful looking skinned hound. I need fur 😂

Thanks all. I’m not hopeful after all my experiments have failed so far but thought it’s worth an ask!

Video Day 547 of Pally and Me’s Adventure until I can loot his armor. A night in the woods.

11 Upvotes

Pally took the scamp kids while me and Dro’Nahrahe spent a lovey evening in the woods. Just doing some nature watching and listening to the pitter patter of rain while leaves begin to fall. Even saw some deer who got caught in the magelight!

I’ll have to go check on Pally and them eventually but let’s just enjoy the evening. I sure hope Pally doesn’t get into trouble. You know what maybe it’s not best to leave him alone…

Hail citizens. It’s not often we get a peaceful stroll in a wonderfully calm part of the woods. Just listening to the sounds and seeing how much brighter it is with my magelight. We also had some guests but they didn’t bother us at all. Why they were fighting idk but the little guy didn’t have a problem with us. Maybe it was Porkchop out in the wild?

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 have an outdated graphics card rocking a GTX 1660 Ti im expecting the remastered to run very poorly on medium to high settings and i want to start playing Oblivion so i need help

should i buy the remastered version and see how it runs or get the OG and mod it since im not a fan of the old blurry graphics on it, and if so which modlist is the best to keep the vanilla experience while enhancing the visuals and implement fixes.

Arts/Crafts Need help naming my new Hero of Kvatch OC

Post image
0 Upvotes

I'm still designing his outfit, but for now I want to try and get some ideas of names for my new HoK that I'm working on!

And I do have some vague ramblings, if people need more details about the character to think of a name :P

They're still not fully developed as I'll be developing them as I do a new play through of the game, but so far I have down that they grew up in Bruma, likely at least tried their hand at magic to an extent (still not sure how far that goes yet), but focuses mostly on archery and swords for combat, so most likely some kind of spellsword type.

As for factions, I'm leaning thieves guild in their youth, then turned towards the dark brotherhood later on, and then the main questline + DLCs. Not sure if they'll do the mage guild yet.

Personality-wise is trickier cuz I haven't played him yet and these things tend to just kinda show themselves as a I play, but I imagine someone who is usually closed-off with their personal life, hesitant to open up, but masks it behind an air of confidence which he uses to talk himself out of situations.

Likely having put the Dark Brotherhood behind him at least a few years ago before the start of the game, he is trying to right previous wrongs and tries to help others when possible. Though is likely to fall back on old habits sometimes and could be a bit more standoffish than intended sometimes, especially if his pride gets hurt.

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!
