ES4: Oblivion Guide to User Made Mods - Parts 1 & 2 @ Gamehelper

Gamehelper has kicked up a two-part guide to the best Oblivion mods. <a href="http://helpdesk.gamehelper.com/kb/682.htm" target="_blank">Part 1</a> serves as an introduction and covers well-known staples such as the BT interface mod, while <a href="http://helpdesk.gamehelper.com/kb/683.htm" target="_blank">Part 2</a> ranges from Kumiko Manor to Companion Gabrielle to Oscuroa "!s Oblivion Overhaul:<blockquote><em>Let me first explain that this isna "!t a mod in the usual sense. This is a complete game overhaul. What that means is that leveling, loot, monster scaling, arrow/magic speed, skills and even certain quests like the Arena and Daedric Quests - all of these - have been tweaked. Many players are of the mind that this is how Oblivion should have been made. While that decision is up to you, Ia "!ll just note that more than 40,000 people have downloaded this mod, making it one of the most popular out there. If you found it unrealistic that past level 15 every two-bit bandit was wearing elven/glass armor and magic items rained from the sky like nobodya "!s business, then this is the mod for you. No longer will you be able to defeat the Arena Grand champion at Level 1, and even at some of the higher levels certain quests will be a challenge due to the scaling. I recommend that you read the full write-up by Oscuro on the link provided. I also recommend that if youa "!ve put down Oblivion for a while, download this mod and start a new character. The first time you walk into a cave of godlike vampires, ita "!ll put some hair on your chest and make you think twice about opening every door you come across.</em></blockquote>
