Tamriel VWD - In my opinion the best compromise of having key buildings visible when distant, with a very slight performance impact. At least on my setup, it almost never stutters AT ALL. Oblivion Stutter Remover - A simple mod, that almost entirely removes the stuttering in the game. One of the best features is that you no longer use the silly haggle-system, and instead it autocalculates based on your skill and the skill of the merchant. Like backstab being much more efficient with a dagger, and generally makes stealth more realistic and useful.Įnhanced Economy - A ton of stuff related to merchants and prices. Stealth Overhaul - A smaller mod that tweaks stealth to work better. With functional Blackjack, Water Arrows, Gas Arrows, etc. Thieves Arsenal - Basically makes thievery/stealth work a lot like the Thief games. This is obviously down to taste, but I think it's the perfect way to enjoy the game.įrancesco's non scaling mod - Get rid of the horrible scaling system, and doesn't mess with too much else, and you can easily customize what you want it to do. Oblivion XP - Turns Oblivion levelling system into a traditional XP based game, with XP being rewarded for pretty much everything you do. But it's currently numero uno on TESNEXUS top 100.ĭeadly Reflex - makes combat MUCH more entertaining and involved. I haven't really tried it myself, because I rarely play a mage. Ridiculously big mod, with a zillion new spells and effects. Midas Magic - You mention magic systems, and this one is the king. Overall it´s pretty much incredible.Īs for the others, since you enjoy exploration, I´d suggest Unique Landscapes and Better Cities for environmental facelift.ĭungeons of Ivellon is a really good dungeon romp with some good puzzles and atmosphere. Only weaknesses are its occasionally weird looking characters, the fact it isn´t voiced and some quests are too hard to figure out. It also requires LAME to be installed, which is a fine overhaul of magic system. It´s really well integrated into vanilla world, as well as Shivering Isles, and somewhat gives you more motivation to do vanilla quests (recognizes if you´re archmagister etc.). It´s lore and dialogue heavy, sports exploration in spades, supports multiple solutions, contains skillchecks, riddles, encourages clever use of magic here and there, combat is rarely needed and as a whole the mod is very nonlinear. It´s probably the longest and imo by far the best quest mod out there. I enjoy combat, but I don't really care about adding more enemies to fight.ĭefinitely look into Integration: Stranded Light. My favorite aspects of the game are the exploration, alchemy, and magic systems.
