NoNewTaleToTell: Well I WAS going to use Oblivion to play the Nehrim mod but Gamestop in all of its glory seems to have switched to a different version of Oblivion after phasing out Impulse Driven. I'm supposed to activate Oblivion (which I never had to do before outside of maybe the first time I downloaded it years ago) but it can't even create the activation file. Excellent. Good job guys.
Since Oblivion is technically installed (I just can't get past the launcher) maybe I can still play the Nehrim mod but who knows. At this point my only options as far as getting Oblivion itself up and running is getting in touch with Gamestop's customer service, and considering my purchases were a couple of years ago from the now defunct Impulse Driven and don't show up in my Gamestop account (but show up in my Gamestop App login) I have no idea if they'll help.
My appreciation for GOG continues to grow.
Amen. Rule #1 Stand by your products. Good luck with getting your problem fixed hope it all works out in the end :)
