I finally got around to playing Oblivion, and decided to mod it to hell beforehand (mostly graphics-wise), but Oscuro's was one that just made sense... Is it supposed to be this hard? After exiting the sewers, I swam across the lake and ran into an orc (a Marauder) that took at least 50 spark's to kill while avoiding its 2KO hit axe swing. All it had was some enchanted axe, no special gear or anything that would explain its health/resistance.
After killing that, I decided that maybe I was supposed play along with the main quest at the start, so I headed straight for the camp on the map, and ran into a mage that also could two-shot me.
Is there some order of questing that you have to play with this mod in order to not get destroyed?
