Looking for an "improved" vanilla experience. Looking help with possible mod suggestions.

[Uacher]

Hello, everyone!

 

As may have already read, my name is Uacher and I have been a member of this community for quite a few years, yet, this is my very forum post.

 

The reason of my lack of involvement is due a lacking of the PC version of the Oblivion game.

 

Ok, that's out of the way, let's get down to the post itself:

 

As I'm sure you must have already figured it out, I am looking for an "improved" vanilla experience, and for that, I'd like to request mod suggestions, either mod lists, individual mods or personal lists, to add my mod list.

 

So far I have all the DLCs and the SI expansion installed, as well as the unofficial patches for all of them and have a bit of knowledge of Wrye Bash and TES4Edit to clean mods and create bashed patches if that is useful in anyway.

 

Now, surely, the term "imrpoved" can mean many things, as such, I will make a list of the key parts of the game that I'd like to focus in:

 

1.- Leveling and character building in general: Coming from the console version, I must admit that the leveling system is extremely flawed, forcing me to go through a very specific route in character development in order to survive the later stages of the game.

 

What I'd like to have is an alternative leveling system that does not completely change the method of building a character but that it does not require making training Athletics by accident a very costly error when trying to increase certain main attributes or avoid having to increase Endurance exclusively to improve my survivability.

 

2.- Leveled lists. I've done some research on how the game manages enemy spawn and the equipment they carry, I was honestly surprised when I started encountering lowly bandits with Daedric armor and the like.

 

In short, just a mod that makes the leveled lists more realistic, I suppose, in similar aspects, without having to make radical changes.

 

3. - And finally, I'd like a mod or mods that simply improve the game in small ways, minor fixes and/or tweaks that, while not necessarily making the game and utterly unforgettable experience, improve the gameplay in such ways that feels that they should have been punt into the game in the first place.

 

And well, that would be it, quite the long read, eh? My apologies for ranting on so much. I believe that as a first post I should write something more than just "hi, mods recommendations, plz!," I'd at least like to be polite since I am asking for your advice in the first place.

 

Cheers, people!

Have a look at this post. Don't use anything other than careful vanilla leveling myself, but Realistic Leveling and Oblivion XP Updated are the two most popular in the leveling category.
