what is being played along with OWCND and WAC? : IV

» Tue Nov 29, 2011 12:49 am

hi all.

what, ye OWNC and WAC players, mods do you also play with along with the "backbone" of these two overhaul mods?

This question, i hope, is not really a "what mods should I use", post; what I am looking for here is a kind of "poll" as to what
mods have the OWND OWC players
also installed and found to be acceptable and compatible, like large quest mods such as Heart of the dead or such mods.

Yes. I have read the OWCND compatibility list, but not all large mods are on this list.

I am getting ready for a "final" playthrough before Oblivion, Nehrim, and the new-to-come Andoran.
so far, myself, along with OWCND and WAC, i have
Integrated-isolated.
bgmagic.
lost spires.
Adash, city of magic.
better cities.
unique landscapes.
ak weye.
barhlom.
--and 170...180 other small mods. I do not have room to add many more!

so what other mods do you also play with, that play well with OWCND..WAC?! mods that might not be on the
compatibility list or mods that might have *looked* to not be compatible but really are compatible?

thank you....freestone

I think about it in terms of what character I want to play.

Then I construct the load order around that.

One of my installs is for a thief turned assassin turned power hungry mage - so all the quest mods are geared for that (TIE+ dark brotherhood, etc.)

My OWC ND install is for a druid (so Druid mod, Mysterious bear mod, etc).

My recent install is back again to another paladin to get ready for RST. So paladin gear mods, horror mods (fun to play as a good guy).

I can installs that are catered to vampires or werewolves or Shivering Isles centric - there is much out there.

of course all the game setting, combat mods, UL mods - they migrate from install to install.

Duke Patrick's Combat Archery - Helps to get kills in early levels. You lose the arrow physics, meaning that all arrows fly straight within their range
Duke Patrick's Combat Melee No Recoil - Works fine, though I think it causes an fps hit
Duke Patricks Fresh Kills Now Alert The NPCs
Duke Patricks Near Miss Magic And Arrows Alert The Target
SDR - Sneaking Detection Recalibrated - Much needed so that you can hide to escape those enemies that are way above your level and run faster than you
Cava Obscura - Why not make OWC ND scary as well as even more difficult? Dungeon levels added by OWC ND are not affected
Dungeon Actors Have Torches 1.6 CT - Open DAHTActivatorSpellScript and change all instances of GetRandomPercent > 25 to GetRandomPercent < 80. Because I think GetRandomPercent was calling 0 too often.
DLL - Dynamic Leveled Lists - I suggest changing the possible spawn rate to 3
AEterna Symphonic Music - This is the most dramatic music pack I've found, although it is very heavy on the overtures and some of it is too movie-ish to use
Running Revised, with Sprinting, Fatigue, Configurable - Use it only for the sprint feature

hooray.

some good suggestions have been coming.

I am also playing with the deserts of A...[spelling] with tales of and valenwood improved.

I read somewheres that archery is powerful in OWNCD.

well my play style is to explore and see the environments and the stories people have. not so much the fighting.
I may wait on the Reclaiming sancreTor mod.

thanks again...freestone
