NPCs in towns don't really have much to say. (Maybe I should try to learn the language one of these daysвЂ¦) I actually like the German voice acting. Scripted events and moderately interesting dungeon design (more so than Vanilla OB) Really nice sense of progression assisted by the fact that you can find non-scaled objects in the world. Some interesting loot, specific class based item sets and variety of crafting options. Mellow, immersive new soundtrack with some KaiRo touches here and there. Experience based level system with learning points and instructors spread throughout the world gives the game a quasi-Gothic feeling at times. Great first dungeon (as GBG indicated) with a minor set piece that reminded me of the encounter with the Black Beast from Arx Fatalis. I was already level 8 by the time I began to take an interest in the main plot, which to be honest I like so far. The modders have done a wonderful job crafting their own vision with memorable encounters and well scripted events which serve to further encourage exploration. The game is very solid fun so far despite the remnants of Oblivion (UI, art assets) being unavoidable. I'm about 20 hours in and level 11, going for a knight/archer hybrid build with some conjuration on the side. I always use the unscaled version in my games, as that is the one that does the most to stop Oblivion's horrid abuse abuse/overuse of item leveled lists and injects a bit of variety into what I find on enemies and in containers.Thanks to this thread and its positive reportages of Nehrim, I've also finally taken the chance to sample it, with a little hankering for an open-world experience than can only come from reading one too many Skyrim threads.

G's mod comes in scaled and unscaled versions. So in some games I play with vanilla enemies and use by itself. It is Oblivion's heavy-handed, tone-deaf, obsessive use of loot leveling that I truly despise. I'm actually pretty okay with enemies leveling and scaling with my character, as that provides a fair amount of consistent challenge as she gets stronger. My main gripe with the way Bethesda handled leveling in Oblivion is with loot, not enemies.

With Martigen's mod running you never quite know what is going to happen, even if you reload the same save several times. I think Martigen complements this perfectly in that it adds a feeling of spontaneity and randomness to Oscuro's static placement of loot and enemies. This is what distinguishes it, in my mind, from the other overhauls. I have always seen Oscuro's mod as much a roleplaying mod as anything else. It also provided lore=based reasons for enemies to be where they are, rather than merely plopping them down wherever they seem remotely plausible. Oscuro's mod brings back a lot of the feel of Morrowind with its hand-placed loot and tighter control of leveling and scaling. I most often play with a combination of Oscuro's mod and Martigen Monster Mod. I would never play without it now.Д«ecky Cox Posts: 3389 Joined: Thu 8:38 am I will also put in a slight plug for dreamed1's Guild Enhancements () as I really am a big fan.

Avoid mods for things you are not doing and keep it as simple as possible. It is very easy to fall into the hole of overmodding your game and ending up doing nothing but modding and never playing. They all have their pluses, but I would caution you to not get too crazy. I personally have played around with OOO, FCOM, Oblivion Intensity, and TIE. I would search the forums, there are some overhaul comparisons. It is also quite compatible with other overhauls like OOO, Frans, FCOM, etc.

It is still actively supported and makes some really cool changes. Whatever you decide, I would suggest at least looking at Maskar's Oblivion Overhaul. While I am still battling some issues in my install, it has nothing to do with these two mods.
