If you've ever had a
conversation with me regarding The Elder Scrolls series, you'll know
that my favorite game in it is Oblivion. I think it has some of the
best quest design in modern RPGs, and still plays well today, even if
its visuals are dated. Since I had some spare time over the summer, I
decided it would be a good idea to download the PC copy I purchased
years ago and replay the game. Unlike my previous runs, which have
always been on PS3 since that's all I had at the time, I went in with
the benefits of mods.
Among the various
mods I downloaded was the Curse of Hircine mod, which appealed to me
for two reasons. For one, it offered a brand new way to play the
game, under a set of conditions I am not used to. And on top of that,
I am furry trash who relishes in the idea of transforming into a big,
strong werewolf. However, not even I would have been able to predict
the end result from installing one, single mod. What follows is a
chronicle of my journey into the darkness, embracing the animal my
character had become.
