Help/reminders needed with PC controls after a while away.

Post by Frodo-Baginses »

I'm revisiting ES Oblivion after probably 18 months of not playing it.

I've not been to well lately having had heart surgery and I wanted to finish off some of the DLC that I have managed to get through a Steam account just for something to do whilst I recover.

I made notes and printed the basic keyboard/mouse gameplay controls off, but I need a bit of a reminder as to where I can find other stuff like:

a) how do I bring up the map
b) how do I fast travel
c) how do arm with different weapons
d) how do I drop and pick up

Is there a web page that I can refer to?

Any help appreciated.

Get well soon, you're in for a treat if it's your first time checking out the DLCs.

For the love of Mara, be sure to re-jigger the controls. Who in their right mind came up with some of these mappings must've been drunk. Who presses "E" to jump, seriously?

Anyway, I hope you do enjoy the story DLCs, they are quite fun, though I haven't gotten around to doing the one for the Razor yet myself. The Shivering Isles one though... I can do that one so many times, if just for the voice of Sheogorath.

Looking at the game guide, I think it will be just the DLC "Mehrunes Razor". Not sure at the moment if there's anymore.

I want to complete this game because I have a feeling that it won't run in Windows 10. I'm still in W7 but strongly considering upgrading which I have till the end of the month to do.

I checked most of my proprietary software for compatibility and I have a feeling that Oblivion is the only thing that won't run.

I own Oblivion and I run it just fine on Windows 10. Sure, it has its issues, mostly when closing, but other than that, runs fine.

Oblivion runs perfectly fine on Windows 10. I run it in XP compatibility mode just to be safe and have never had any issues.

Does anyone know anything worth playing or using that won't run in Windows 10?

Morrowind may or may not be touchy on Windows 10, I can't really say, I've used the Morrowind Overhaul fixes for the longest time now. Arena and Daggerfall work fine through DOSbox. Skyrim and Online are just fine.

Heck, Windows 10 seems to be pretty good for gaming. I've even gotten Atomic Bomberman running just fine on it with a simple compatibility mode change.

Morrowind is even more stable than the later games. You shouldn't have any issue.

The only game I know that doesn't run on Windows 8/8.1/10 is Sims 2.

It can't run anything with Securom or Safedisc, so if you have an older collection of disc-based games you might not be able to play them. Other than that, I can't think of anything.
