Oblivion Default Values for All Valid INI Settings

[DoubleYou]

In my research with Skyrim INI settings, I figured it would be fun to apply what I've learned to Oblivion. From this I have created a the following, which is a comprehensive list of all valid settings for Oblivion (any settings not listed here are invalid and not recognized by the game) along with their default values, with floating point values estimated to four decimal places. It is not recommended to use this as your INI File!
