Player Mod Introduces Dark Souls-esque In-Game Messaging for Oblivion Remaster, Permitting Users to Pen Messages like 'Attempt Finger in Hole' Directed at Sir Patrick Stewart
Unleashing the Chaos: Ghosts of Tamriel Mod
Step into the world of Oblivion like never before, thanks to the Ghosts of Tamriel mod. This bad boy is a game-changer, bringing the infamous Dark Souls messaging system to the Oblivion Remastered universe (via VG247).
Ever felt the itch to share your witty one-liners or cryptic advice with fellow Tamriel heroes? Now you can, all thanks to the creative minds of modders yamashi and jay-jay. With Ghosts of Tamriel installed, you can drop messages anywhere in Cyrodiil for other players to discover – Dark Souls style!
These messages take the form of floating Welkynd Stones, those luminescent, mana-restoring rocks found in Ayleid ruins. This system is far more flexible than FromSoftware's collection of canned sentence structures. Players can write whatever they want, and let's face it, the results are usually hilarious!
The whole thing is delightfully chaotic, with an interface that seems alarmingly open. It's as simple as a text document where you can title and write anything you desire. Ah, the old untamed internet days! Fortunately, there's an upvoting and downvoting system in place to govern the content. Messages have a 24-hour lifespan before vanishing forever, but those with enough upvotes stick around a tad longer. Conversely, messages that receive too many downvotes are erased from the system.
There's also an option to hide messages you don't want to see in your own world. Just remember, this mod requires an internet connection, and your character's name will appear alongside the messages you leave. But fret not, since the authors assure us that none of the data sent to the server is logged, making it all beautifully anonymous.
So, if you're hankering to share your wisdom with Tamriel and beyond, hop on over to the Nexus, install the Oblivion Remastered Script Extender, then install Ghosts of Tamriel with your trusty mod manager and get to it!
