I've been playing computer games (Neverwinter Nights, Dungeon Siege, Morrowind, Oblivion, Gothic3, Witcher, Hitman, FEAR, Legend etc...) for years but I have not particepated in any forums.
When I started playing Morrowind I got into downloading and playing MODs. When playing MODs it's a very good idea to all the comments for a MOD. This way you can solve any problems you may have. Most are due to improper installing of the MOD or conflicts with other MODS (especially with 40 or more MODs).
I didn't comment or rate the MODs even though I enjoyed them. There are a lot of talented people in the world. I love the art work and the attention to detail.
From reading the comments I learned to build MODs (small ones) and found I liked it. I'm not an artist even though I know what lookes good. I can imagin how something is supposed to look but I can't create it
I can come up with a storyline and assemble the parts .
Now I'm playing with Oblivion (actually this is the 5th time). I've reloaded from scratch and looking at trying the latest MODs.
My current project is to create a feature length movie (Michinima) using Oblivion.
For the storyline I needed a different start (found a MOD for this).
I'm looking at MODs that make the apperences better; Better bodys and hair (got some MODs for this), better armor, better clothes, etc..
Creating these things I have no talent for
Suggestions for other MODs will be helpfull..
I'm also looking at companion MODs as a traveling companion. This is for maintaining a dialog and storyline. Basicly a way to tell the everyone watching what is goning on.
On that note, can someone point me to some tutorials on adding dialog to NPCs and companions with lipsync.
I'm using FRAPs to capture the video and Vegas Movie maker by Sony to do the editing.
This will be a long road!!
