Sorry but also those who play the game for the first time have to experience the game the way it was 19 years ago. It's a kind of trademark. Let them realize how broken things are.
Why? Just lower the difficulty. Oblivion is one of the few games out there where with time you actually have to lower the difficulty. lol
I only play on PC my friend. I'm not a peasant. At least mainly not a peasant unless PS or Nintendo got a game I wanna play then I become a peasant for a bit
If you are sensible to technical issues (occasional stutter when loading in and a few ctd's after long sessions) you might wanna wait for a patch. Otherwise go for it. Its still a fantastic game imho which now even has nice graphics.
I like the challenge when it's there, but after my 20th Ayleid ruin I can't be bothered to fight 50 skeleton heros and doom wraiths to get the magical macguffin.
Typical Bethesda garbage. I hate that shit but can tolerate it if its minimal

Absolute legend. Cheers mate!Ok papito, here is a quick list
The first is essential to make the game looks good, its called lumen remastered, it makes the game look as it should.
Lumen Remastered
NOT A RESHADE MOD! Drastically improve Lumen shadows by reducing skylight intensity, improving auto exposure, adding color correction. Zero performance impact!
Greener grass, makes the grass green as it should
Greener grass
Edit grass and landscape texture color to something that looks more like Cyrodiil
Slow motion block, its great when using the bow
Slow Motion Block (Archery and Melee)
Slow down time by blocking when using a bow, or blocking during a melee attack.
Increase bow head damage, this one is essential too because in the vanilla itgame don't matter where you aim, you remove health the same way, this one rewards you for aiming well
Bow Headshot UE4SS (fix 1x sneak damage WIP)
Extra damage on bow headshots, 1x sneak bug fix and prevent arrows from disappearing on headshots to humanoid targets, allowing them to remain visible. Experimental: slow on legshots and stagger
Better HUD
Better HUD
Makes compass widget smaller. Places gauges vertically in the left corner.
Fixes Vanilla level scaling
Balanced NPC Level Cap - Remastered
Adds consistent level caps to 1,400+ NPCs from the base game and all DLCs. The comprehensive solution to Oblivion's NPC scaling problem
Realistic looking skin
Realistic High Quality Skin
Modification improves humans skin and makes it more realistic.
Better info boxes so you dont have a black square in the baclground
Better Infoboxes
Replaces huge infoboxes with black backgrounds with outlined text easy to read.
Better reticle
More enemies
More Enemies
Increases spawns of hostile NPCs to give a more alive feeling to your game world.
This one makes the map looks better imo
Colored World Map 8K-4K
Todd used up all the colors painting the markers, leaving none for the map. Now it's fixed. With artifacts-free upscaling.
Two handed reach, this one is great and very recommended
Two Hand Reach
Slightly increases the reach of all two handed weapons so that a 6ft Nord with a claymore doesn't have the same range as a goblin with a dagger
Better third person camera, this one is essential if you play im third person camera
Better Close Camera
Makes close 3rd person camera closer and less off-centered for over the shoulder feeling.
Increase bow speed, this one is a must if you go for a bow build
If you have a nasa pc, this mod gives you even better textures
Unchainned Textures
Upscaled textures overhaul with choices from 2K, 4K, and up to 8K textures
More enemies. The map is a bit empty, I strongly recommend this one
More Enemies
Increases spawns of hostile NPCs to give a more alive feeling to your game world.
Remove chromatic aberration
Remove Volumetric Fog - Bloom - CA - Fog (Anti-Stuttering)
This mod removes Volumetric Fog, Bloom, Complete Fog or Chromatic Aberration.
Better AI enemy, this ones makes fights more interesting, definitely worth it
Responsive Combat AI
Enhances combat AI to introduce more engaging fights with more challenging foes by decreasing idle times and increasing dodge and attack chances.
And I think these are more or less the one that I have installed and consider essential, there is one that I installed that tweaks difficulty but cannot find it it now, I'll update the post later when I find it

Thanks papi, bookmarked your post for future reference.Fixes Vanilla level scaling

This mod is great if you think normal is way too easy and hard is way too hard:
Difficulty Slider Fixed
This mod fixes the huge jumps in damage multipliers from difficulty settings to allow more granular configuration.
edit: forget about this one. The mod posted above is already using this one + another mod.
Thanks papi, bookmarked your post for future reference.
About the mod I'm quoting here, I like to pair it with those two:
Leveled Creature and Item Diversity
Allows low-leveled creatures and items to continue spawning regardless of player level, rather than disappearing from the world as you level up.
Balanced Unleveled Rewards - Remastered
Removes level scaling from all leveled quest rewards and items, instead giving them balanced stats more like how artefacts are handled in Skyrim.
I found that you have to do some tricks on your own to keep things interesting. Like, I will usually only pick up magical items and stones to sell them and not pick up the leveled gear of enemies. This keeps you wallet quite tight and you barely have enough money to buy the houses and furniture. So for that alone clearing dungeons never looses appeal for me. If you pick up and sell everything it becomes pointless super fast. But then again, there are so many other ways you can break this game...
Admittedly this is where the game shows its age. If there's no incentive to kill the enemy I would rather just skip it. I had blade and destruction at 100 by this point so fighting yet another gloom wraith and hearing the stupid noises it makes for no material gain doesn't appeal to me.
Thats a very common problem in many games with an economy system....and I have not even an idea how to solve it. Either you restrict yr game in such a way, that it becomes an endless tedious grind or you will end up having way more money as you need. Pick yr poison.
The Witcher 3 slapped a band aid over it by making the runewright and Corvo Bianco so expensive.
You have the "property stuff" as a gold sink. But when I am able to get 50k worth of gear out of a single Oblivion gate because of the level scaling.....than even this becomes meaningless quickly. But I couldnt care less....there is nothing I need to buy anymore, I am maxed out....and thats totally fine. I am just playing through the quests now and call it a game than.
Just do it. Morrowind is a full blown remake so may as well just go with Skyrim instead.
The game runs terribly, they should fix this first before proceeding with another botched release.
Is there some secret I'm missing when it comes to buying expensive spells? Did you also skip player housing/storage?
I haven't looked into the memory leak issue, I only know that there is one and that it's related to saving. But is it a matter of how many saves you have? Or how many times you've saved overall (whether it's 1 save file or 100)?
This thread is close to 2000 posts of people talking about how much they love it so probably
what gear is thatThief and Splinter Cell vibes from some missions

I didnt like the dark brotherhood robes, and wanted a more sleek set like that. Maybe less stats would be ok. I was using this leather set from a Kajit in a jail cell during the Mehrunes Razor quest.
Best item in the game. It opens locks without losing lockpicks.
