It’s aged a little now, but when Oblivion was first released, it was breath-taking. This new mod, Andoran, restores a lot of the game’s swagger.
Andoran is a complete overhaul of Elder Scrolls IV. Conceived as a prologue to events in the core series, and remaining in canon, it’s basically an entire new game, with a new map, new characters, new textures and new effects. There are also some additions to the core mechanics of Oblivion, like the ability to “hog tie” characters for abduction.
Due for release at the end of the year, it’s entirely free, and only requires you have a licensed copy of Oblivion.
You can read more at the link below (which is in English, unlike the trailer above).

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 7:26 PMNot much of a fan of fan made games.. But I always appreciate and love the effort that goes into what they do with them. Looks pretty incredible for an aging engine! Wish they would add just a texture pack for the original Oblivion..
