It still shocks me that I played vanilla oblivion so much when I see others playing it, it's such a .. dry experience compared to what OOO and Francescos did for me.
Are those mods of Oblivion? Also, I hear Oblivion w/o mods is dry and boring. Shall I try playing it w/o mods first...than with? Or just with mods.

You can try without if you want, or you can try with. Personally I loved loved loved, the modded game. Setting up the game with the mother load of mods, without conflicts, can be... complex. It's a little confusing, I had to follow a step by step guide, but it was really worth it, I played back before this FCOM, looks like things might??? be easier now to have the full modded game. Pretty much most people agree that OOO, and Francescos, are awesome, and this seems to add MMM which i never got to work with Francescos, but always looked really cool.

In reality it adds so much more to the game play experience it's an entirely different game were talking about.
If you get into it, it can make days go by really really fast, I never got into WoW, but I imagine it's like single player version of that, huge time sink.

Oblivion and Morrowind are good games (even without mod). I didn't really play them because of the story. I played it because it allowed me to explore the world and do whatever the heck I want to do. I remembered murdering a whole town of people in Morrowind(Unfortunately on Oblivion if you try to kill an important NPC they just faint =_="")
Honestly, I think TES V will be awesome now with dragons on it! To me Dragons makes anything awesome! xD But somewhat I'm still expecting another predictable story line like Oblivion.(I liked Morrowind story it intrigued me..)
One thing I liked in Oblivion was fast travel. I guess after playing Morrowind for 4 years you get tired of walking around and paying gold to silt riders.

Would it be dumb of me to buy the PC version and then play it with a 360 type game pad? I was thinking about this and I want to get it for PC because of the modding but i don't know how keen i am on using my mouse/keyboard for playing it. Prob sounds silly but until recently my PCs have never been able to run games well and so I've grown accustom to playing them on my 360.

Well getting it for pc will allow you to use mods so i would say its a better option then buying it for 360. Given that its availlable for console it will probably have some good support for playing with a controller as well, so i wouldn't worry.

That's kinda what I figured. I just wanted to see what others opinions on the matter would be. Since I've never been a big PC gamer and what not.

One of the weird reasons I think I enjoyed the Elder Scrolls games Morrowind and Oblivion is it fulfills this weird obsessive pack rat need to find all the valuable shit in the world and then store it in your house. Don't even use alchemy? Still store every possible alchemy ingredient you've ever found. Can't use unique armor? Use it as a trophy to display.
It's one of the cool things that these games keep items that are left on the ground, at least in houses, so you can have shelves stocked with all the neat trophy gear you've found. In Oblivion they knew you were going to do this with the best houses having trophy glass cases which I spent a lot of time making an item set both fit inside it and look nice.
Lol I did this. Except I was also cheap so I had millions of gold coins and only used the Imperial City shack, and the game would lag like hell every time I entered because there were dozens of items lying around and hundreds (thousands?) more in every single chest.
As long as you can hoard like that in Skyrim and the leveling system/monster variety feels more natural than in Oblivion I will love this game into oblivion (lolpun)

I find it fairly annoying how they're using console footage for the game. The graphics are obviously not going to be as awesome on outdated hardware.
They've already admitted that they're developing mainly for the consoles. PC will have better textures and larger draw distances, but don't expect a DX11 graphical droolfest like BF3. If anything, except a game that's even more bugridden than Bethesda's other RPGs.

Can someone summarize me the hype for this game? I've never really liked the Oblivion games so I'm quite clueless about it. What is it that people get excited for?

Like explaining why SC2 is great to someone who didn't like SC.
It's oblivion but newer and better.

It wasn't, unless you modded the shit out of it.

Never played Oblivion, never played a game made by Bethesda.
Buying this. The trailer looks as though it's a great game, and the estimated amount of content-100 hours-is enough to sell me.

it was great, what the hell are you talking about? Ofc mods made it fun when you completed all the shits in that worlld which literally impossible to find all of them to begin with without a guide. It's literaly a whole new world that you gets to interact with everything, that what made it great.

ok so here is the summary for the complete The Elder Scrolls series ( and not Oblivion that is just one game of the series) :
- do what ever you want
- play in a really open world not this bioware bullshit

It's funny you use this (incorrect) analogy.
A more accurate one would be drawing from Morrowind because Oblivion was the "new and shiny," and the community is just as split as they are here.
What people are excited about is this looks like they took the lessons they learned from making Oblivion and all the greatness from Morrowind and made a new game.

I want to be excited for TES V, I really do, but it's hard sometimes. Mainly...
DRAGONZ HURRRRR
Why do we need a ANOTHER story about dragons? Dragon Age wasn't enough for you? What makes exploring the worlds of Morrowind and Oblivion so immersive is that everything seems so strange and new. Remember that feeling of wandering around the first town in Morrowind with the strange mushroom trees and the weird stork-like transportation? OK remember that. Now, picture the wonder and curiosity you feel upon seeing a picture of a viking guy sticking a sword into a dragon. Now you know the meaning of sarcasm, and also the meaning of selling out.
TES is one of the few fantasy worlds to deviate significantly from the Tolkein mold and still find success. Adding dragons to it is simply selling out.
I'd like for someone to justify adding dragons to the game world. Other than by saying, you know. Dragons Are Cool.

The problem with Bethesda's "do whatever you want" is that no matter what you do, nothing ever really changes.
