Restored Order

Restored Order V1. 0, mod for TES IV Shivering Isles, readme Description : Something i made a long time ago but only recently took time to finish, this mod basically allows the greymarch/madness cycle to be ended years before the game\'s storyline begins, and the latest ruler of the Isles not to last. The atmosphere the mod attempts to create is that of a sterile and depopulated land, in accordance with the forces of order\'s supposed aim demonstrated (ordered Fringe) during the original game. Unlike the latter which was logically designed with the player\'s entertainment in mind, this modification makes the Isles into a bland and uninteresting realm. Few quests from the original game remain, though there is room for new, possibly interesting ones. I just have no idea what they could be about, so suggestions are welcome. THE \"DISTANT TREES\" GRAPHICS SLIDER MUST BE SET TO MAXIMUM to prevent ugly leaves sprites. Major changes : Cosmetic : -The water, ground, plants, buildings and landscape have been remodeled/retextured to fit the ambience set by the original ordered Fringe, that is lacking in color and covered with ash. Obvious religious symbols such as shrines to Sheogorath or the Sacellum have been either destroyed, emptied, or converted to other uses. -There are now four weather types : dull gray overcast, duller gray overcast with fog, thunderstorm, and ash storm. -Order crystals are present everywhere, and all obelisks are active. -There no longer is a clear boundary between the northern and southern parts of the Isles, apart from the obvious moutain range. Loot and level scaling : Loot has been dramatically reduced, nearly eliminated in fact, in exteriors, dungeons, and root tunnels alike. What sense does it make to crack a tree stump open and find a sparkling new sword laying in it ? Amber and madness ore are also now very rare. On the other hand, enemy and friendly NPCs and creatures no longer adapt to the player\'s level until level 8-10, remain slightly overpowered after that, and become closer and closer to pushovers after level 17-20. Except within Vitharn, loot and equipment are no longer leveled at all and blocked at level 14-20 quality instead. So in general, low level characters will find that steering clear of danger is their only option, medium levels will be able to beat most dungeons with varying challenge, and high levels will sweep the floor with enemies. -Everyone and everything that isn\'t immortal respawns. Gameplay/actors : -With their cleansing obsession fulfilled, the forces of order are no longer hostile. That doesn\'t mean they are friendly either, the knights\' dialogue remains short and thoughtless, and they are quick to anger. Priests are no longer needed and thus much more rarely encountered. Obelisks are naturally active but do not endlessly spawn knights. -Most plant and animal species can no longer be found, and factions directly related to Sheogorath such as zealots and
