Looking for the right combat mods

[bique]

Hey. I tried out Oblivion a long time ago, but didn't manage to get all the way through the game because the combat became boring to me. I recently reinstalled it, and I wish to play through the game, but first I need to locate some mods that will spice up the combat engine. I was hoping someone on here could make a few suggestions. The primary things I would really enjoy, would be to eliminate the block stun effect in Oblivion, enable side-stepping/dodging to be a more effective tactic, and to make enemies actually react when they get hit either by physical or magical attacks. Magic in general I find to be too canned in oblivion, but there are plenty of mods that add interesting spells.

 

I looked into Deadly Reflex, the old Art of Battle and Duke Patrick's SCA Combat mod, but none of them really quite managed the full picture. I personally enjoy Dark Messiah's combat system both melee and magical, so if anyone can suggest mods that might make Oblivion more interactive in that way, please let me know.

I support this question.

 

I like Deadly reflex personally, but I too think the shield stun is exxagerated (I think Deadly Reflex actually makes it even longer), Bloody hell, one enemy can hit me up to 5 times while I'm recoiling.

 

I also would like a way to make them less overly fast. Too often I'm fighting someone and they simply vanish, to reappear at my back. It's uneblievable how goddamn fast they are sometimes.
