Well IMHO i would rather prefer area leveled creatures....something like: here's the beginning location,weak things here,there is a dark and evil forest,strong ones there :)

 

I second that. There's infinite fun in walking between creatures between creatures that you struggled with a while back and then swatting them aside like flies. Mind, the experience should be lower for killing those creatures though.

I would mix things up.

If the mod is big enough you could have 1/4th harder zones, 1/4th easier ones and the remaining 2/4th containing variations among leveled spawns/strength/bosses/fodder/rewards.

 

That way you could please - almost - everyone.

Agree with the sentiment you should have to go looking for trouble. Static, leveled bosses, random fodder.

 

And I've never been killed, don't plan on it.

I prefer a constant challenge. I want to have to never take an enemy for granted, I want surprize and tough combat always!

 

I really can't believe you mean that... Tough combat all the time would just be the most depressing thing ever. At the beginning of the game things should be tough (except for mudcrabs and rats :P) but if you've spent untold hours levelling a character, maxing his skills, completing world-saving quests, gathering legendary weapons and artifacts, and still find it challenging to take down a bandit or a marauder... man, that would just make me think "what was the point?"

 

Static monsters are a must imo, with bosses levelling with you but at a slower rate. So once you have checked off all the contents of that list above, a boss shouldn't really be too difficult either - reflecting how badass your character has become. Works like a reward system. That's my main issue with vanilla - there is no reward for levelling, you can just complete the whole main quest at level 1. And you might say better-looking armour is a reward, but I remember when I got my first ever piece of daedric equipment (the gloves), waltzed into Anvil thinking I was the bee's knees, only to be semi-greeted by a lowly hunter - walking by me with a casual "hello!" in his full daedric armour...

 

Morrowind had the levelling system perfect. Daedric was incredibly rare, mobs were easy to kill when you were badass, and there were still some truly epic battles (mainly in the expansions) which could even give your high level character a damn hard time. Match something like this with an add-on, and i'd definitely protect your ass if we were in jail together.

Sadly I've never played Morrowind but, I like the way you think!

I say what I mean,I'm a warrior at heart,and love challenge. As the saying goes, "I'd rather die like a lion, then live like a lamb"
