The project is ongoing, and uploader aAaZzZ000oOo is still actively dropping comments updates into the Nexus page. Meet a high-level enemy in the tutorial! Find a useless steel sword after trawling through a tough dungeon! It’s all a bit wacky, but that’s what’s so good about this mod. The Oblivion Randomiser Project does what it says on the box, randomising as many elements of Oblivion as possible.

If you like Oblivion mods that institute a little chaos, this pocket of insanity will be right up your alley. One thing to note is that the mod doesn’t allow for many evil character options – thankfully mod creator Robert_evrae has a lore-friendly explanation behind this decision.

You can be a wealthy merchant, a priest, skilled craftsman, and more, all feeding into the possessions you’ll receive upon starting the game. There’s only so many times you can live through the Imperial Prison tutorial, after all.Īlternate Start Oblivion instead places you as captain of a ship arriving in Cyrodiil (either to the Imperial City or Anvil) and lets you choose from a range of character options similar to a classic RPG background generation. If you’ve been playing with Oblivion mods as long as some players have, there’s a good chance you’re completely sick of the standard starting sequence. For the most powerful spells the mod adds, you’ll even have to undertake short quests to prove you’re worthy.Ĭheck out the mod here. Like the Skyrim Midas Magic mod, this add-on attempts to stay relatively lore-friendly and hopefully not too game-breaking.

This Oblivion mod adds beam spells, projectiles, a ton of new Conjuration summons, and more. Midas Magic adds over 300 new spells to the game, greatly building upon the base game’s magic system and getting major props for style points. New hairstyles, eye textures, and more are included, made to look as in line with Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls Online as possible (unlike the great many anime-ish character overhauls you’ll find).Īs this one’s quite a complex mod, make sure you read all instructions on the Nexus page before installing it. The mod completely reworks character heads throughout the game, including all races – even Dremoras and Shivering Isles races. Combine it with a good enough Oblivion animation mod, and you’ll have a character that’s far easier on the eyes – and a little closer to reality. Oblivion’s famously awful character creation is definitely lacking, and this mod picks it up as far as the game’s engine will allow it to go. Since Qarls Texture Pack doesn’t include playable characters and NPCs, you’ll want to grab the Oblivion Character Overhaul V2 to make the in-game models a little less… potato.
