[small rant]Okay, so I just reinstalled Oblivion. Again. It's literally the seventh or eighth time I've done this, but I can't seem to let it go. I think I may have a problem.

Anyway, I really want to play it again because I just love the gameplay and all the amazing armor/weapon/new attack mods that the community has come up with. Problem is, I have run out of things to do. Weapons/armor are useless when I have no one to fight except a few re-spawning bandits.[/small rant]


So, any suggestions for what I could do to refresh the game? (Quest mods, overhauls, etc.)

EDIT: Nevermind I was being stupid.
Have you tried MMM or OOO?

In some of my previous playthroughs, yes. I never really gave the game a try with OOO + MMM (or any FCOM configuration)
I usually ended up either A: Not really playing or B: Screwing up the install so badly it wasn't worth fixing.

Yes I havent tried with OOO+MMM either. Im afraid to install MMM, as last time, I installed it so terribly, it ruined my savegame(s).

Well, below is my last load order. It is an FCOM setup mated with nGCD and Progress, which really make the game more challenging. On top of that, it includes a whole slew of quest mods which, taken all together, probably double (or more) the adventuring time in the game.

I really recommend povuholo's excellent Kragenir's Death Quest. look it up on nexus or the forums here.

http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1072579&hl=

Check AZERquest, and some of the copy/pastes in post #2

Personally I've played throughhttp://theelderscrolls.info/?go=dlfile&fileid=349's quest line like 4 or 5 times and I'm still not tired of it (lot's of replay value)

TheNiceOne has made some Omod installers for FCOM and MMM which really help. I think my FCOM installation took a total of 30 minutes thanks to his amazing work.

Look at tesnexus top 100 quest mods, there are loads of great mods there, like Kragenirs Death Quest, the Lost Spires and dozens more, dont be fooled by the screenshots or first impressions, the quest mods are usually a dozen times better than first impressions.

Personally I feel somewhat the same as you Fearnoman777.

So I have chosen to try a completely new play style, an immersion play style. So I have been installing alot of mods from Delte's list: Real hunger, sleep, fatigue and all those. So now I look forward to try the game from a new aspect

Might be something like that you were looking for?

Quick question, I'm doing a new FCOM install and I just need to know which version of MMM I need. I see so many different links pointing to all sorts of .bsa files and betas, but I don't know which one I need to run with FCOM.
