What is the best level to do Kvatch to keep friendly NPCs alive?

 

There is a mod, NF's Kvatch Guard Tweak, which you might want to check out.

I tried OOO once and I have some questions about it. Will it have enough new weapons/armor that I won't need "EVE for Armamentarium"? The reason I stopped using OOO right away is this. I like to keep my friendly NPCs alive, even if I don't really need them. So, I always do the Main Quest up through Blood of the Daedra right away, especially for the Kvatch stuff. If I wait too long, the NPCs get slaughtered at Kvatch. So, I immediately go there when running OOO. I got creamed. I don't mind leveling up before doing this, but how will the guards stand up if I do it at a later time? What is the best level to do Kvatch to keep friendly NPCs alive?

 

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

The main thing about OOO is that it adds armors which are worn by the random NPCs you see, and you don't have to find some shop or dungeon out in the middle of nowhere. Think of it as loot variety.

 

As far as kvatch goes, personally, I try to always have it done before level 3, regardless of mods. The reason being is that the quest itself is intended to be done early on, so even if mods change kvatch to have stronger stuff, it likely won't touch it until a much later level. That said, I do tend to get atleast one of my weapon skills above 30, and some decent spells first, so doing it below level 3 can often require practicing minor skills first. If one or two of the guards dies, don't feel too bad, they aren't ever used again (I almost always let one of the legionaries bite the dust just so I can steal their armor and weapons).
