But I forgot the default value. Better said I never knew it. The difference doesn't seem to be big at SetGlobal=10 so I presume the default value wasn't much higher. If I could set it hard in Fallout.INI, it would rid me of the doubts, but I don't know the necessary parameter or if there is one in the INI at all.
Original timescale was three times faster, at 30.
//edit: On thought, set timescale to 300000, save, exit the game, reload and put yer doubts to bed.

Actually I learned it from there.

Two weeks ago I completed the main thread of Fallout 3 after a good forty hours of gameplay, topping out at level twenty just as I launched the end game.
For a moment I sat there, thinking I was done.
Then I reloaded my save from just before the end game, hacked my level back to ten, and started exploring the areas I hadn't cleared yet.
Yeah.
A week later I decided I had lost enough of my life to this game, and uninstalled.
Two days later it was back on my computer.
Well, last night I ran out of unexplored locations lurking on the horizon. I had completed every main non-evil quest that is possible, including the Nuka-Cola Quantum Challenge, which is surprisingly difficult if you accept it after you've already mined most of the map. I had cleared out every vault. I had most (if not all) of the bobble heads. Every skill I cared about was topped off at 100. Every weapon I wanted to build had been built and test driven. I hit level twenty again and this time picked the Explorer perk, which revealed that I truly had uncovered all map locations except for a couple buried deep in the labyrinths of the south-eastern city.
I had even reloaded an ancient save just so I could follow the evil option and see Megaton blow up, a spectacle I witnessed first by day and then by night.
So I beat the endgame again, and then proceeded to watch all four endings I was capable of generating at that point. Once that was over, I watched the remaining endings on youtube for good measure.
And then, and only then, I uninstalled the game, removed the DVD, and deleted my saved games.
Please god let this be over.

Good god, and I'm still playing Morrowind

don't worry, you can probably skip Oblivion.

I'd say that with the right mods - and there are tons of great mods to choose from - Oblivion lives up to Morrowind, even if the basic template (bucolic fantasy world) is more generic. It's a question of how much time you want to invest in the game.

The trouble is that I know what boredom Oblivion is, I stopped playing it more than a year ago, but the gorgeous environment and music caused I recall it again and again and it makes me think about giving it a second, no, third chance. Even though I know it would probably be incredible loss of time again. There's something sinfully irresistible on it. It casted some unsanctioned charm spells on me...

As for me, the main problem of Beth's games is that they're kind of boring/quite tedious, and not dramatic enough - they don't evoke feelings. FO3 is better in that regard, but still not quite there.

I must say that walking through Oblivion (especially with the Unique Landscape mods and some good weather mods) does evoke feelings in me. In some ways I found it, at the best of times, an immensely immersive and beautiful hiking simulator. It's when it comes to talking to people that the immersion breaks down, but the world itself is often gorgeous.
