Oblivion Polymorph Mod

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the poof-what-do-you-need-poof dept.

Via Kotaku, a post on the Oblivion forums on a polymorph mod for Oblivion. The Kotaku story has a video attached, showing the shapechanging in action with a rocking musical background. The mod seems awesome, but I'm not sure I agree with poster Eckhardt's commentary: "This could be just the thing for me to forget how unbearably stagnant and boring I ultimately find Oblivion to be: the ability to transmogrify into huge ogres, gigantic walking sticks and carnivorous cephalopods."

      Or a very small rock?

      It's all good, as long as you get better.

  2. Wait until the ESRB reclassifies for this mod... by nick_davison · · Score: 5, Funny

    How long until we hear:

    Jack Thompson today decried Oblivion as a "bestial sex simulator" citing a new mod that allows players to polymorph in to horses and then "ride" their existing mounts. Given object clashing, this creates the appearance of two horses getting it on "hot coffee"-style. "Do we really want our children being exposed to this kind of 'conditioning'?" an enraged Thompson asked. "This kind of bestial porn must be reclassified as Adults Only, if allowed for sale at all." Thompson is now reportedly looking for horses that have been sexually abused to represent in a class action lawsuit.

    I'll just remind old Betsy to say "neigh" if he comes around to our stable...

    No, you can play it in 3rd person, but IMO it's better in 1st person. Since you haven't bought the game yet, though I have a little advice to you on the best way to have fun while racking up the hours in Oblivion. 1) Boot up your computer (or XBox 360), and subsequently, the game. 2) Have your character sit there in the Imperial city. 3) Go do something else. It hasn't failed me yet.

    Never leave mom's basement? You're talking about MMO's, right?
