If you enjoyed Oblivion and want to experience something "special" while you are waiting for Skyrim you could take a look at "Nehrim". It is pretty much its own game, but you need Oblivion to run it. 
 
There's a trailer (only availabe in german) here:   

I think its better than a lot of proffesionally done German RPGs. Wouldn't go any further than that.

My favorite trailer music.

Edit: Looks nice.

If you dont mind me asking... whats it about?

I'm a bit discouraged by the anime-like hair of those elves.

Seems interesting, Im downloading it now.

Had the hardest time trying to install it, and even then, it came with a lot of bugs. I still want to play it. But I'll wait if I get a new computer.

Looks intriguing.   And I've really liked several German rpgs:  Two Worlds(and TW2 soon!), Sacred 2 , and Risen I think was by German devs. All good stuff...maybe it's my Germanic roots :).

Time to reinstall Oblivion.

I knew someone was going to squeeze one last juicy drop out of this old engine :- )

The game is basically a mixture of Oblivion and Gothic, and it's glorious :)

Daim. That was really cool. I just wish Oblivion could work on my computer and I wish I knew how to use mods.

" @Demyx: That's strange, I just installed it without a problem. Maybe it was a bit broken when it got released? After seeing Fallout New Vegas (which is a fantastic game btw) and the technical problems it had at the beginning I didn't mind seeing some broken enemies and clipping errors.. I read about stuttering sounds, too, but didn't experience it. "

Where have I heard this music before...

I am dying at those voiceovers, they all sound like they're taking the piss. Looks interesting enough though; I remember total conversion mods for Morrowind at least were always quite imaginative/enjoyable, though buggy. Pretty intense trailer effort for a fan project

Aw man... Now I have to reinstall Oblivion.  
 
Nice find!

I didn't really enjoy it, honestly. For one thing, vanilla Oblivion runs a hesitant 25-30 fps in medium settings on my computer. This mod runs at like 15. Also, I ran into like 4 different game-breaking bugs in the intro cave and had to restart. And then finally, I completely couldn't figure out to do when the kid runs up with the helmet stuck to his head. They told me to go somewhere and get some solvent or something and I could never find it. I looked everywhere outside and everywhere inside. I know, it's free. But I don't feel that it's worth anymore of my time.

And you can download the english version of the mod here:    http://www.nehrim.de/startEV.html 
 
 
Cheers and have fun. 
 
PS: This mod is almost too good to be true for a fan project and I think it's better than a lot of professionally done RPGs. 
 
Edit: I read a bit more about this mod and I found this to be interesting:    http://www.moddb.com/mods/nehrim-at-fates-edge/news/nehrim-awarded-best-singleplayer-mod-2010 "

I remember hearing about this a long time ago, before it was finished and I still played Oblivion. That trailer intrigues me, though, so this just might give me something to do until Skyrim is out.

I tried it a while back, and could not get it to work. Maybe I will give it a shot once again. 
Maybe not. 

Yeah, Nehrim looks pretty goddamn awesome. 
...wish my PC could run Oblivion...

The intro cave was one of the buggiest parts for me. The mod gets a lot better after you get past the introduction. But if you can only run oblivion on medium settings with low fps I don't think you will get playable fps in Nehrim. You will get much lower fps cities than in the stating dungeon. "

It looks pretty cool, but I don't think its enough for me to re-install Oblivion.

If you have Google Goggles on your phone you can use it to translate from German to English. I did that to read some of the notes I found lying around. It's not perfect of course, but better than not being able to read anything at all.

Thanks for sharing. Some guy compiled all the best mods and called it Oblivion IV 2011 or something like that. He got told-off by the guys that made the mods.

The Mass Effect 2 trailer music just makes me want to play ME2 all over again. 

I've been playing Nehrim for a while now, and I like it a lot more than Vanilla Oblivion but not as much as Modified Oblivion.  The limited fast travel (you can teleport but it requires special consumables to do so) combined with the expansive world makes for lengthy travel times.  The leveling system is much less jarring and the enemies are more varied.  The single element I love most about this conversion are the set pieces; some of the places you visit in the main storyline are absolutely ridiculous in detail.  My biggest complaint is the overall bugginess and slugishness when transitioning between the densely packed areas of the world, especially areas filled with foliage.

Finally, another excuse to jump back into oblivion.

This is driving me crazy, I can't remmber the name of the song and it's driving me nuts, can someone please tell me the name of the song.
