Hey, I've lurked these forums before to nab a few Oblivion mods. I think it's high time I joined the community, both here and at the Nexus.
I guess I'll introduce myself with a story....
A friend of mine gave me his PC GOTY Oblivion copy. At first I was a bit skeptical, but I hadn't really played many RPGs. My first RPG experience was Fable TLC, followed by the Witcher (on a slight tangent there). Anyways, I decided to give it a go, and actually liked the game a lot. But, soon I discovered the world of Oblivion mods, first at the Nexus, and through various links I ended up here for a few as well. Needless to say, I registered at both sites back in the spring, and have been casually lurking since.
The first forum I was ever really active on was Taleworlds forum, which is where I first taught myself how to mod, using M&B: Warband. I taught myself retexure work, then full blown 3d models and their textures. Now I've learned the coding aspect and am working on completing my first full module. I also hope to get into TES modding, which will be a refreshing new challenge and learning experience.
So, that's my story.....
Now, first thoughts upon posting on this site.... Post approval? Had bad luck with the lesser part of humanity internet etiquette (or lack thereof) ? I guess the rumors are true that they run a tight ship 'round here. Looking forward to experiencing this community.
Anway, any recommended threads to read for me? What are your favorite places to visit in the forums here? I posted another topic in the casual projects thread to show off some of my 3d art (awaiting approval, unfortunately )
