I've completed the game now, and like so many other players I don't like the way the world automatically adapts to your curent level and skils.
Is there any MODs out there, that will change Oblivion to play like Morowind (with a static world where you can't go everywhere and complete every quest at level 1)?

OOO
Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul


Why not go the whole nine yards and install http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=12249

I agree that it should be more like in Morrowind. To me it makes no sense leveling up otherwise. However my dunmer is now too old for foolishness like mods

FCOM: will it completely alter the gameplay - and especially the questlines, so I for instance:
- won't be able to complete the game at level 1.
- won't be able to hold high ranks at the guilds at level 1.
- won't be able to beat everyone at the arena.
- ...and is the MOD build logically, so the easier quest are found first (or at least give some sort of hint to the required level for the quest).



or does the MOD just make gameplay more difficult but basically it's still the same.

Of couse there's sense in leveling. To raise attributes!!

Yes, but without heavy opposition that will be overcome by higher attributes I don?t think it?s necessary to raise them

The purpose of OOO is to make the experience of playing Oblivion as much like that of playing Morrowind as possible. It does all the things you mentioned. It does make the game harder but it is not basically still the same.

When playing OOO the appearance and disappearance of creatures and items is no longer tied to the player's level. OOO makes Cyrodiil a bit more static,as it was in Morrowind. And as in Morrowind, certain regions are tougher than other regions. Generally speaking, the further you travel from the Imperial City the tougher you can expect combat to be.

OOO is not just a "difficulty" mod. It is also a roleplaying mod. It adds hundreds of notes, books and other details that deepen the lore of the game and tie it into the lore of Morrowind. It doesn't just dump new creatures onto the landscape like most other mods - it provides lore-based reasons for those enemies to be where they are.

It adds many other roleplaying touches as well, such as inebriation, lock bashing, geomancy, the ability to drop torches and changes to guild item ownership and many more. Oscuro's mod is a remarkably well-thought-out overhaul and one that I cannot imagine playing without anymore.

My suggestion is to use it with Martigen's Monster Mod. MMM is the perfect complement to OOO: it adds much-needed randomization and surprise to Oscuro's basically static world. If you're not conversant with installing mods I would stay away from FCOM. FCOM uses Oscuro as its core anyway.

Dunno. Even with OOO it's still a skill-based game, right? And unless you add certain levelling mods you're not forced to level. Basic OOO does not affect the player levelling system - I strongly recommend you add a good levelling mod or two. But I can say, from what I've read about OOO, that you wouldn't be able to do any of those things at level 1 with your starting skills and gear. Probably the higher level monsters do enough damage that you'd never be able to survive with your starting health, so yeah, you could say you'd have to level to finish a lot of the content. Although with high Conjuration and Illusion.and the more powerful magic system..yeah, maybe you wouldn't really have to level.

I've never tried OOO because I don't need Oblvion to be more like Morrowind. One of the biggest downsides to Morrowind was the way levelling was handled. You didn't get more difficult mobs. You got more of them. Chewing through 7 cliffracers patiently waiting in line ?!? to be slaughtered wasn't my idea of fun. Fortunately, I believe OOO does it better.

shouldn't this be posted in mod section?

Well anyways i use OOO witch does as Pseron Wyrd said in his post

Uhm thats not true at all, In Morrowind difficult enemies were in certain areas..

Nonsense, of course you get more difficult enemies. Go into the Grazelands at level 4 and you will fight Rats and Nix-Hounds. Go back at level 22 and you'll fight Winged Twilights and Golden Saints.

And then there were places you would encounter Golden Saints at first level..... That was a rather nasty surprise.

Sorry, didn't mean to turn this into an O v M thread.

Most gamers who are unhappy with Oblivion level scaling seem to like OOO. Some like Francesca's, which I believe also eliminates/reduces the level scaling. Along with a good levelling mod they'll bring back the automatic level = power on which most crpg's rely.

Sounds more like fan controlled lore to me. Not a good thing to try and make obivions lore match with morrowind.

turn the game on very hard thats what i do on my lvl 50 it makes it fun again

OOO ... seriously good mod. The only altering mod I use. I don't use any leveling mods or that kind of stuff. Don't use FCOM or MMM. It is fun for me because I like not knowing if going into a cave is a good thing or not. I'm on my guard, and sometimes ... I have to run. *shrugs* Works beautifully for me along with the added other goodies it does.

Any mods that remove physics (from misc. objects and such)?

How isn't it a good thing? All the games are set on the same continent. Cyrodiil and Morrowind are right next to each other, no less. The lore logically should match. As for fan controlled lore, that's essentially what any lore in a mod is. It's just that some try to stay more accurate to official lore than others.

OOO + MMM have been essential in my games. Wouldn't play without them. Though I have been a bit curious about TIE. Any TIE users here?

OOO is a lot less static than people keep saying.. I've periodically visited Fort Virtue over the levels. When I was level 1 there were skeletons and ghosts, a few levels later zombies added in, a few levels later skeleton guardians, then skeleton heros, then (level 17 now) skeleton champions that SUMMON MORE SKELETONS. Just how far does the "level range" in this place go??

That's true. Oscuro uses exactly the same leveling and scaling mechanics that Oblivion uses. The difference between Oscuro and vanilla is that Oscuro limits scaling to ~10 levels, in most cases. That is, for 10 levels after a creature appears it will scale along with the player exactly as it would in vanilla Oblivion. OOO stops the creature from scaling any further at that point.

Is it really only 10 levels? In the example he gives in his readme, bandits go up to level 22! Do they not start at lvl 1?

And from levels 1-17 in my game, the undead in Fort Virtue have continued to upgrade. ~10 level ranges is what I expected (and hoped) too but I'm not seeing it.

OOO, MMM or Fran's mods are excellent to bring some Morrowind's leveling and creature leveling back in Oblivion. Like other said.

You can also take a look at http://www.gamesas.com/?showtopic=825234&hl and http://www.gamesas.com/?showtopic=1004917&hl=, both have list of mods that bring back features from Morrowind and Daggerfall.
