Finally some good news for a change. One being that I now absolutely love Windows 7. Infact if it was a woman, I’d marry it and we would have a bunch of little 7’s running around.
\nOkay, maybe that’s alittle too much. But what I do love is the fact Oblivion is now studder-FREE! \ud83d\ude00 Remember when it studdered like crazy, just by running around on my horse, due to mobs? Those days are over. Sure, there’s texture loads that do cause some studder, but nothing<\/em> like what I was getting before.<\/p>\n

The 2nd thing, I was browsing around the TES Nexus, just like the Fallout 3 Nexus except for Oblivion.
\nI checked out the Animals, Creatures, Mounts & Horses link, and the first thing I saw was this “Akatosh Mount”.
\nWhat the hell is an Akatosh I wondered. Then I started reading the short description. Noticed the word “wings”, and “Drake”.
\nClicked, and nearly peed in my pants when I saw the picture. A FUCKING DRAGON MOUNT!!! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Clicked on the pictures, praying “Oh god tell me this thing flies!”. Sure enough, it does. And I squealed like a pig when I saw “Dragon Rider Cam” with a pic of you on the back of this thing, while flying.
\nI would be severely disappointed if it was just used as a lame ground mount. Oblivion is based in the dark ages. Shouldn’t there be dragons flying in the sky?<\/p>\n

Anyway, I downloaded it, tried it out. You get a spell that you get another spell to control a dragon of your choice. Then you use the new spell to Summon it.
\nFlying… well. It kinda needs work. I guess I’ve been used to Drago in WoW. But still, this is more epic than a horse. What’s more epic is, well if you’re not riding on it, it will attack with it’s breath and one hit the enemy.<\/p>\n

You can also tell the dragon to rest. This helps it regain health and has a pretty cool animation.<\/p>\n

\n… And wow I just realized I’m late.. real late. Looking through Google for this “Akatosh” dragon showed a picture I saw a long time ago in V1 of the Dragon Megathread, way before I even started playing Oblivion.

But my brain was going “OHHHHHHHH SHHHHIIIIIIIII–!!!!!!!” too much when I saw those pictures to realize it’s old and been discussed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
